The new season of Married At First Sight UK is underway - and it seems fans have already chosen their favourite couple! East Sussex' very own Kristina Goodsell and Newcastle lad Kieran Chapman were chosen by fans on X as early favourites in the show, as fresh-faced pairs walk down the aisle. One fan said: "Big hopes for K and K, but we all know what that means,” while another added: "I'm pinning my hopes on Kieran and Christina already... that's probably not a good sign! the couples I like never stay together". A third chimed: "Kieran and Kristina are already my faves” and a fourth said: "Already loving Kieran and Christina and rooting for them.”

Kristina and Kieran have an unforgettable first encounter on their wedding day as Kristina was on the hunt for unconditional love, while cheeky chappy Kieran was looking for a laugh, even rocking up in ghastly fake teeth during the ceremony. This did not amuse bride Kristina one bit, leaving her to swear under her breath in an attempt to mask her utter astonishment. The pair are among the 16 singles making up eight couples in this series, with fans eager to see the drama unfold over the course of 36 episodes.

Details on whether Kristina and Kieran's love stood the test of time are being kept hush-hush, but fans are loving them either way and it hasn't stopped followers from digging into what the two are doing nowadays. Kieran, quite the Instagram user, let slip how tricky it was to keep quiet about his stint on the show. Ecstatic about revealing his adventure, he spilled the beans by announcing: "So, I went 'travelling' at the beginning of the year. But, I lied. Now the secret's out... I married a stranger."

Fans are also excited for another particular element when it comes to watching the show. Many took to X to show their love for dating expert, Paul Brunson.

Speaking exclusively to OK! Paul, who has been married to his wife for 22 years, on whether there would be a polyamorous relationship on MAFS UK. He said: “I’ve never had this question! I am pro love and this is what I stand for. I have friends in polyamorous relationships and I’ve done the research on them and I know there are high levels of satisfaction when you have high levels of communication. So, as society demands changes in our relationships, we as a show will have to keep up with that and we’ll have to follow the same path.”
