So the final nail in the coffin of the married at first sight uk experiment.

The only couple that stayed together of the two after marrying Emma Rathbone and James Ord-Hume have announced they are to divorce. The reasons being lack of chemistry, love and bickering.

This has not come as a great surprise as they did not seem that matched during the process but looked to have given it a chance to work.

To recap the other couple that married on the tv show were Jason Knowles and Kate Stewart their marriage only lasted two weeks and it was reported that Jason had started internet dating during this time. Their marriage has now been annulled on the grounds of Jasons unwillingness to consummate the wedding

The third couple Sam McDonald and Jack Finn-Kelcey did not actually get married . Sam pukked out of the process shortly before they were due to marry. It was reported after the tv show aired that Sam had got in contact with Jack after seeing him on the show when it was aired. They subsequently started dating but after a few months.

So what now …. Channel 4 are looking to air a second series and have invited applicants. Presumable they are now going through a selection process . No known air date has been announced to my knowledge
