Married At First Sight UK has officially filled the Love Island shaped hole in our lives but, wait, has there been a TOWIE/MAFS cross over?. We are, of course, LIVING for the drama, we just didn't expect to see the one and only Debbie Bright popping up on our screens 😂
It all started at the fairytale weddings, when veterinary nurse Morag tried to settle her nerves with her mum before she walked down the aisle with children's home manager Luke Dawson.
Morag said, "If I don't fancy him, I'm gonna be really disappointed".
But eagled eyed viewers were CONVINCED that Morag's mum was a bit of a celebrity herself - TOWIE legend Debbie Bright, aka Lydia Bright's mum...
"Her mum looks like Debbie Bright from TOWIE! #MAFSUK!”, tweeted one, while another said, "Fully thought Morag's mum was Debbie off TOWIE for a minute!"
Turns out, Morag's lovely mum was just a lookalike for the iconic TOWIE star but, wow, don't they look similar!
Some fans even compared Essex girl Morag’s larger than life personality to the iconic Gemma Collins.
One wroter, "Morag reminds me of Gemma Collins!”

Which Married At First Sight Australia couples are still together? - slider
1 of 12Sam Ball and Elizabeth Sobinoff
Sam and Elizabeth might not have lasted, as Sam seemed far more interested in Ines. But Lizzie was the true winner - she was so popular with viewers she appeared on the next series of the show, finding love with Seb Guilhaus. But, sadly, they split earlier this month after a year together.
2 of 12Cyrell Jimenez and Nic Jovanovic
'Cyclone Cyrell' and Nic's tumultuous relationship was, sadly, not to last. But prepare for another reality TV crossover, as Cyrell now has a baby with Love Island runner-up Eden Dally.
3 of 12Lauren Huntriss and Matthew Bennett
One of the biggest storylines this season was about Matthew and his virginity, as he was repeatedly labelled as 'virgin'/'ex-virgin' Matt by the narrator. Anyway, Matthew was matched with Lauren - who, yes, he lost his virginity to - but it all went horribly wrong when Lauren heard Matthew telling the other guys at dinner that he wasn't sexually attracted to Lauren. AWKWARD. Lauren is still a make-up artist, we don't know if she's dating anyone. But on the other hand, self-confessed fitness enthusiast Matthew is loved up with a new girlfriend - who he met at a wrestling tryout.
4 of 12Mike Gunner and Heidi Latcham
Mike and Heidi's relationship was one which could have gone either way, but after the show, the pair split - announcing the sad news at the post-finale reunion special. 'Right after the final vows, Heidi and I went back to the Gold Coast together but it didn't take long and the wheels started coming off,' Mike explained. Heidi has said she hasn't spoken to her former husband since. From the looks of their Instagram pages, they still look single.
5 of 12Cam Merchant and Jules Robinson
Oh, Cameron and Jules. From the minute Jules and Cam had their first wedding dance without any music, we had an inkling they were in it for the long haul. And we were right! The pair now have a baby together, who was born in October last year, and tied the knot properly after the show. So, yes - sometimes this wild experiment does work.
6 of 12Melissa Lucarelli and Dino Hira
Probably the worst matched couple on the series, it isn't shock the pair called it quits on the show after Dino allegedly recorded a conversation Melissa was having with her sister about the wedding day. It appears both are still single.
7 of 12Martha Kalifatidis and Michael Brunelli
Martha and Michael were an extremely drama free pair (in comparison to everyone else) so it's no shock that they have actually managed to stay together. Yay!
8 of 12Ning Surasiang and Mark Scrivens
Eek. Another very up and down pair, Ning and Mark's relationship dissolved during the final commitment ceremony - with Mark dumping Ning, much to her shock. Following the show, Mark moved on with another former reality star, Bianca Chatfield – who appeared on home renovation show The Block. And Ning also has a new partner.
9 of 12Susie Bradley and Billy Vincent
Susie and Billy were one of the couples who married later in the experiment. From the get go, Susie kept on calling Billy awkward - even calling him a deeb at one point on their honeymoon. They split before the final commitment ceremony. Susie is now dating former rugby pro Todd Carney and they have a baby on the way. However, Billy appears to be single.
10 of 12Ines Basic and Bronson Norrish
We knew this relationship wasn't going to last from the moment Ines asked Bronson to take out his eyebrow ring. Ines went on to have an affair with Sam, which Sam has since claimed was faked by producers, and it all came out during an explosive commitment ceremony. Bronson is now a lot happier with girlfriend Hayley Wallis. And from her Instagram, Ines looks to be single at the moment.
11 of 12Jessika Power and Mick Gould
Major cracks started to show in Mick and Jessika's relationship, then Jessika went after one of the newly weds, Dan. Not a shock that Jessica and Mick didn't survive then…(Neither did her affair with Dan, btw.)
12 of 12Dan Webb and Tamara Joy
After these two fell apart thanks to Jessika and Dan's affair, Tamara was linked to Jessika's ex, Mick. The drama never stops.
Morag, who appeared on Take Me Out back in 2018, was initially less than impressed with her husband Luke and complained that he was “not what she ordered”.
After tying the knot, she said, "I wanted big, athletic, hairy," before admitting, "But I'm willing to give it a chance."
"I'm willing to give myself up to the process, and trust the experts."

Love Island boss rules out gay contestants: 'It's about boys and girls coupling up'
Following the huge success of its Aussie counterpart, the show has been given a dramatic shake-up as a brand new batch of singletons hope to find their happy-ever-after with a stranger.
Much like the Australian edition of the show, the brides and grooms will meet for the first time at the altar before making a lifelong commitment at their wedding ceremony, embarking on a luxury honeymoon and moving in with each other AND their fellow couples. Their relationships will then be put under the microscope at weekly dinner parties and recurring commitment ceremonies, where couples choose whether they want to stay in or leave the process.
