We knew from the first episode that this year's series of Married At First Sight UK was going to be wild, but we didn't know it was going to be THIS wild.
Much of the drama was thanks to Ella Morgan, who was originally coupled up with Nathanial Valentino, but finished the series alongside 'intruder' groom, JJ Slater.
Ella may not have found her true love on this years MAFS but that didn't stop her from enjoying the experience, in a chat with heat, Ella revealed that her wedding day was “the best day of my life."
Well, kind of.
The show’s first ever trans bride admitted that it was actually only the second best day she’s ever had, but we can totally see how it missed out on the top spot.
"Well, having my vagina - and my boobs - done was my probably the best day of my life!" Ella admitted, "But no, other than that, it was the best day of my life and I got to be the princess I’ve always dreamed of. It’s reality, it happened for me. I was sh*tting it, it was nerve-racking.”
She continued, “I didn’t ever think anyone would want to marry me. I just didn’t think in society that anyone would want to accept me and want to marry me. So, for me, it’s always been a little princess dream in my head and then I transitioned and I thought, ‘okay, it’s possible now’, but I still thought it was a dream rather than a reality.”

What did Ella Morgan's family say about her going on MAFS UK?
As for how her family reacted to the news that she was marrying a stranger, Ella added, “My family were really accepting. I’ve done a lot of crazy things in my life and they want me to be happy. They weren’t really shocked, they were just like, ‘Oh my god, someone wants to marry you!’ I was like, ‘Well, they might not once they’ve actually met me’, but they were really happy for me.
“At first my mum and dad were shocked, but my dad is like my life. I’m so happy that, as a trans person, they stick by me, they haven’t disowned me. They accept me and I’m so blessed, I know that isn’t the case for most trans people. My dad walked me down the aisle, my family were all there and it was amazing. I’ll have that moment forever.”
