MAFS UK in huge twist that will throw the new series into chaos | The Sun

MAFS UK will introduce more intruder couples halfway through the dating experiment when the third series returns later this year.

The bumper cast will mean even more chaos, bed-hopping and rows for viewers to enjoy when the third series returns to Channel 4.

A show insider tells The Sun: "Normally two new couples join the show around the halfway point to spice things up and inject even more drama into proceedings.

"This year, producers want to create even more chaos and are doubling the number of intruders, so there will four new married couples entering the fray several weeks in."

Relationship experts Charlene Douglas, Paul C Brunson, and Mel Schilling will be on hand to match a brand new host of brides and grooms – and be a shoulder to cry on when things go horribly wrong.

The source added: "When new couples join it always unsettles the existing brides and grooms, who have been on the show since the beginning and it changes the dynamic.
