MAFS UK renews vows with companion podcast and unveils new celeb host Chloe Burrows

12 September 2024

The new series of Married at First Sight UK is just around the corner and E4 can reveal the return of its accompanying podcast - Married at First Sight UK: It’s Official! with Chloe Burrows.  

Produced by CPL Productions and Colour It In Studios, this weekly update is an ultimate one-stop destination for all the MAFS tea and behind the scenes gossip, as it sums up the events of the week, celebrating the heart-melting moments of marital bliss, or dissecting all the dinner-party drama.  

The podcast will also welcome a brand-new celeb host, with TV personality and reality royalty Chloe Burrows (Tapped Out, Celebs Go Dating)  taking over the mic and giving her take on our couples, their journey and whether or not she thinks they’re truly a match made in MAFS heaven.  

Each week, Chloe will also be joined by a celebrity guest, who’ll bring out the honesty box and give their views on some of the biggest moments that have got the nation talking.  They’ll also be joined each week by brides and grooms from the new series, as well as the MAFS UK relationship experts.

Married At First Sight: It’s Official! with Chloe Burrows will be available to watch or listen to on all major podcast providers, and available to watch or stream on E4, Channel 4 and YouTube.  Episodes will be available weekly every Thursday evening following the show.  

Chloe Burrows said: “I am SO excited to be joining the MAFS UK family. I absolutely love the show, and get so invested in all the couples so this quite literally is the perfect job for me. I cannot wait to delve into the drama and be able to grill the couples on the things we all really want to know about. It is really exciting and I cannot wait to get into the studio and for the new season to start!”

Lee McMurray, Commissioning Editor of MAFS UK for Channel 4 said: “I’m delighted to be welcoming back the MAFS UK It’s Official! podcast for a second series, with a fresh feel, and new host Chloe, to mark its evolution into a show that will now also broadcast on E4, every week that MAFS UK is on air.  With exclusive revelations and behind-the-scenes gossip straight from the MAFS cast, plus regular no-holds-barred insights from celebrity fans, it’s the perfect companion piece for the millions of MAFS UK fans out there.”
