Line-up revealed for Married at First Sight UK 2024 - including Miss Birmingham

Married at First Sight UK is returning - and a bride and groom from Birmingham are among the hopefuls.

Paul C. Brunson, Mel Schilling, and Charlene Douglas are all gracing our screens once again as experts on the show, which will see 16 singletons walk down the aisle.

Among them will be Sacha Rhianne Jones, a 29-year-old from Birmingham, who has been in beauty pageants since she was just six years old. She was even crowned Miss Birmingham in 2018.

And then there’s Alex - a 28-year-old, from Birmingham who works in aviation and personal training, who apparently wants to rid himself of his ‘man about town’ reputation and find a stable relationship.

The upcoming series will also include the shows first deaf contestant.

Sacha has been described as “a daddy's girl who will stop at nothing to impress her father”.

The hopeful bride has only ever had one long term relationship, which lasted three years.

Single for the last nine months, she made the decision to become celibate until the right man comes along.

Sacha is also a dedicated kickboxer and coming from a competitive family, being a go-getter 'runs in her blood and pushes her to be as ambitious as she possibly can be'. Meanwhile, 32-year-old Ross from Manchester is the first deaf contestant to appear on the E4 show.

Sacha, Alex and Ross will be joined by Emma, Adam, Kristina, Caspar, Eve, Kieran, Holly, Nathan, Charlie, Orson, Richelle, Polly, and Lacey.

The first couple matched by the experts to tie the knot have been revealed to be dog walker Kristina, 30, and Kieran, 28, a mechanic from Newcastle.

This series also features Adam, 33, from Nottingham who works as a barber. He says: “I would love the happily ever after”.

Birmingham’s Sacha, who works as a aesthetics practitioner, added: “ 'A red flag to me is someone not liking cats. I was always told to never trust a man that doesn’t like cats.'

The city’s hopeful Alex said he’s signed up as “maybe the experts can help me work out where I’ve been going wrong”.

An exact date for Married at First Sight UK 2024 hasn't been confirmed, but it usually begins in mid-September.
