Married at First Sight UK 2021 couples

Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling

Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling were matched after sharing a positive outlook on life and family values.

But things didn’t exactly get off to a good start when Tayah fell out with her mother about joining the experiment.

Her mother warned her she was taking a huge risk and called her ‘irresponsible’ but luckily she did turn up to the big day.

There was another awkward moment when Adam said he fancied one of Tayah's bridesmaids, mistaking her for the bride.

Jordon Mundell and Alexis Economou

Married at First Sight UK matched Jordon and Alexis on the show.

Personal trainer Jordon, 27, opened up on his hopes of finding true love on the series.

He said: "My happily ever after would be to learn stuff about myself that I didn’t know before.

“I want to become stronger as a person and to obviously walk away with a partner and with some new friends."

Amy Christophers and Josh Christie

Amy from Cornwall married Josh in episode four of Married at First Sight UK.

The pair look like the perfect match, with Sports Journalist Amy saying she wants to ‘learn what love is and take off the veneer of sassiness that has protected her from letting another person in.'

Meanwhile, Josh has ‘ambition, competitiveness and drive’ and said he can succeed at anything he turns his hand to.

They also have similar interests, with Amy previously working as a glamour model and Josh also having a career in modelling.

Morag and Luke tied the knot in the second episode of Married at First Sight UK.

Veterinary Nurse Morag, 31, wasn't exactly impressed with firefighter Luke, 36, when she first saw him.

She told the camera: “He wouldn’t be my typical guy I would go for so I’m not exactly jumping for joy.

“When I first saw him, I was taken aback.”

Megan Wolfe and Bob Voysey

Megan is 26-year-old from Stoke.

She is a Wellness Coach and actress and describes herself as a ‘constant entertainer’ who loves to sing, dance, and share her good energy with everyone she meets.

When Bob saw Megan walking down the stairs on their wedding day, he was seemingly besotted and commented on her ‘beautiful blue eyes’, adding that she looked like a princess.

Nikita and Ant Poole

Saleswoman Nikita, 26, has been paired with business developer Ant, 28.

But things didn’t exactly start well for these two as Nikita said to the camera: "He's f*** all what I'd go for.

"[The experts have] just done the total opposite of what I asked for.

"I mean, obviously I was talking about looks quite a lot.

"Looks was a huge thing to me and I don't think they've listened to what I've said."

Daniel McKee and Matt Jameson

Matt, 39, is a charity worker from West Yorkshire while Daniel is 27-years-old and works in sales.

The pair are the first gay couple on the show, with Daniel saying: “It’s amazing to be one half of the first gay couple.

“Gay marriage has only been legalised very recently in Northern Ireland, which is absolutely shocking. And, now that I can share my relationship with the world, I find that so important.”
