MAFS UK renews vows with companion podcast and unveils new celeb host Chloe Burrows
Category: News ReleaseThe 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.
