If you're perusing heatworld while you should be working, chances are you already know that Married At First Sight is back back back, baby, and we'll be honest, we've watched most of the current series behind our hands so far.

The way this show makes us cringe and yet somehow salivate for more drama at the same time is downright witchery.

That means a whole new host of singletons have opted to marry complete strangers in the name of reality TV over continuing to use dating apps (fair) and one of those individuals is MAFS UK 2025 bride, Sarah Gillanders, who we just witnessed marry Dean Vary.

Now, we don't want to spoil anything for anyone who's behind, but we can't not bring up the fact that Dean so oddly chose to break into a rap at the altar on his wedding day and THEN continue the soul-crushing awkwardness by serenading his bride during their wedding dinner. Spoiler alert: it went down like a sack of s**t with the blushing bride.

Additionally, during their honeymoon, Sarah confessed to struggling to get past her initial lack of attraction toward Dean.

So, yeah, not a great start...

What else do we know about Sarah Gillanders?

According to her official MAFS UK bio, Sarah believes there are absolutely no eligible bachelors in her hometown and, if there are, she has probably met them or dated them already. Ever since her mum passed away, Sarah has wanted to ‘do her mother proud’ and settle down with the nicest guy in the world. Seeing all her friends around her tying the knot, Sarah is keen to find the one.

Sarah’s dad (pending his approval, of course) was apparently desperate for her to walk down the aisle to the perfect guy, but is that Dean? Only time will tell, babes.

Is Sarah Gillanders on Instagram?

She sure is: @sarahgillanders_x.
