Married At First Sight UK has got to be one of the best shows on TV, and the latest season had more drama than you can shake a stick at.

The introduction of four intruder couples only made things worse, with more fights and break-ups than ever before.

So before the reunion show next year, here's everything you need to know about what the cast has been up to.

The brides and grooms looking for love

Who was on MAFS UK 2023?

After his relationship with Bianca Petronzi went south once he revealed she 'wasn't his type,' JJ jumped ship and started getting to know Ella. However, he and Ella split up at their final vows, and it looks like JJ is currently single. Since the show, JJ has returned to his clothing company, Fully Blessed and he switched on the Southend Christmas lights. Not a bad outcome all things considered.

Jordan Gayle, 26, personal trainer

Sheffield-based personal trainer Jordan married the fiercely outspoken Erica Roberts, and the pair were never afraid to speak their minds or cause a stir. Despite a cheating scandal, the pair are still going strong.

Mark Kiley, 36, customer service manager

Since he split with 'husband' Sean, fashionista Mark returned to work in Childsplay Clothing and is reportedly single.

Matt Pilmoor, 29, window cleaner and athlete

Matt Pilmoor was paired with Adrienne Naylor, and the pair seemed to have a strong connection. Imagine our shock when it was revealed that Matt and Adrienne had not only split up, but he was now dating her fellow bride, Shona. It all worked out for the best it seems, as Matt and Shona are going strong. Matt is still working as a bodybuilder in Leeds.

Sean Malkin, 31, Store Manager

After choosing to leave the experiment early and break up with Mark, Sean Malkin returned to work as a New Look store manager and is currently single.

Adrienne and Matt are no longer together, much to fan's shock. However, she has remained close friends with MAFS UK co-stars Erica and Bianca, and has continued her fitness journey since leaving the show.

Bianca struggled to make it work with 'husband' JJ, and the pair split up while still on the show. She has returned to her job as a hair extension specialist and is the owner of Hair Extensions Bye Bee.

Erica Roberts, 25, dance teacher/social media manager

Erica is still going strong with 'husband' Jordan since leaving MAFS UK, and she is still a social media manager and dance teacher.

Arthur Poremba, 34, tennis coach

Polish-born Arthur Poremba married Laura Vaughan, and after a rocky start the pair seemed to be growing closer. However, ultimately they just couldn't make it work, and they're no longer together.

Brad Skelly, 27, model

After a whirlwind romance with Shona, Brad was asked to leave the experiment. Obviously, they're no longer together, and Shona moved on with fellow groom, Matt. Brad continues to model, and is now dating fitness instructor, Hollie Baldwin.

Georges Berthonneau, 30, sports rehabilitator

Georges Berthonneau married Peggy Rose and after many ups and downs, the pair are still going strong. Georges continues to work as a sports rehabilitator, model, and run a twitch video game account.

Luke Worley, 30, sales executive

While Luke and Jay Howard had an instant connection, Luke's temper led to a fight with Jordan and meant he and his 'wife' had to leave the show. Since leaving MAFS, he and Jay have split up and while it hasn't been confirmed, it's likely that Luke has returned to his job as a sales executive.

Nathaniel Valentino, 36, events marketing manager

Nathanial Valentino had one of the most talked about relationships on the show, and it will surprise no one to learn that he and Ella are no longer together. Since leaving MAFS, Nathanial has been outspoken about what a negative experience filming the show was for him and he didn't return for the final episode.

Paul Liba, 26, account manager

Paul Liba married Tasha Jay, and fans will be thrilled to know that they're still together. Since leaving MAFS, Paul has returned to his job as an accounts manager.

Terence Howard, 40, youth worker/DJ

Terence did not last long on his series of MAFS, and he and 'wife' Poscha left the experiment after he accused her of cheating on him and being 'fake'. Since MAFS, Terence is still a DJ, host, and event organiser in London.

Thomas Kriaras, 27, investment communications

Since splitting with Rozz Darlington, Thomas Kriaras has undergone quite a transformation and is almost unrecognisable from the awkward Thomas who first entered the experiment.

Ella Morgan, 29, clinic consultant

After one of the most dramatic couple swaps in MAFS history, Ella is no longer with JJ and is reportedly currently single. Thanks to her time on the show, she may have made the switch from clinic consultant to full-blown influencer, and has made multiple podcast appearances and partnerships since leaving the show.

Jay Howard, 31, sales manager

After a shock split from Luke, Jay is currently single and has returned to her sales job. She remains close friends with her MAFS UK co-stars.

Laura Jayne Vaughan, 34, finance manager

Since her split with Arthur, Laura is currently single and has likely returned to her job as a finance manager in Hampshire.

Peggy Rose, 32, technology risk partner

Peggy is one half of the few remaining couples in MAFS UK, and she and Georges are still very much in love. Peggy has also dipped her toe into the acting world, and is set to make an appearance in an 'adult' Panto in London.

Porscha Pernnelle, 36, executive assistant

Londoner and single mum Porscha left the experiment after she and Terence split up, she has since returned to London and is reportedly single.

Rozz Darlington, 28, Florist

After one of the most emotional break-ups in MAFS history, Rozz remains close friends with Thomas and the rest of the cast. She is also single, giving us hope that she and Thomas will reunite.

Shona Manderson, 31, performing arts teacher

After realising that she had been love bombed by Brad, Shona found love with another groom on the show, Matt. One look at their Instagrams shows that they're still very much in love.

Tasha Jay**, 25, childcare assistant**

Tasha found love with her 'husband,' Paul, and the pair are still together. Since leaving MAFS, she made the jump from childcare assistant to model.
