MAFS UK: It's Official!

The experiment is over!  It’s been a wild ride - tears of joy, tears of sadness, arguments and apologies, but most of all - a lot of love.  Lucinda Light is joined by the iconic Bimini for our final debrief, as we discuss which of our couples made it through vow renewals and beyond - and the MAJOR bombshells that dropped at the reunion… why not!? Davide pops by to share his otter-ly adorable love story with Keye - and we’re also joined by expert Mel - as we present the prestigious, world-renowned, very serious MAFS AWARDS 2025!!  We should have a fancy dinner to celebrate the end of the series… do they serve hotdogs at the cat cafe?!  Learn more about your ad choices.

What happens in Lanzarote stays in Lanzarote! … or does it?!  Vow renewals are just around the corner - and our couples have been out on their final dates. While some have been living in a fairytale, others have been on a *literal* rollercoaster.  Dani Dyer joins MAFS Australia legend Lucinda Light to discuss all the drama from the penultimate week of the experiment… as we wait to find out which of our newlyweds will be able to make their marriages work in the real world…  Julia-Ruth pops in to fill us in about what she got up to on her holibobs - and Paul C Brunson joins us to cast his expert eye over our couples at this crucial moment in the experiment.  Fancy taking a trip? We play a round of the Random Holiday Generator with Julia-Ruth! Wish you were here! Do you reckon we’ll be seeing Leigh and Leah at the winter olympics? That figure skating has to be worth at least a bronze medal!  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Holy guacamole, those homestays were fire! As we hurtle towards the end of the experiment - MAFS legend Lucinda Light is joined by comedian Russell Kane to debrief after a week of partner swaps, homestays… and belly dancing!  For some of our couples the future is looking bright and full of children! For some… the pressure of long-distance is looming, and for others… they’ve reached the final straw.  Fresh off the back of that verified revelation on her homestay… our bride Nelly is here to fill us in about her rollercoaster marriage - from the high of her wedding day, to the moment when everything changed (for now…) And we dive fully into the partner swap spirit - to find out who would be the perfect partner in some sticky situations…  Do you think we can all get together to protest for a high-speed rail link between Hove and Liverpool?! We can all agree, it’s absolutely vital.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A lovely retreat to celebrate your one month anniversary… what could possibly go wrong?! Lucinda Light is joined by comedians Harriet Kemsley and Amy Gledhill to debrief this week’s MAFS action - after a retreat that brought us drama, arguments and revelations… and very little relaxation. Will this week’s shockwaves bring our couples closer together - or is it *game* over? And make sure you apply your lip balm and practice walking in a straight line - because groom Reiss is here! We find out all about the start of his married life with Leisha - from ups and downs on honeymoon to cosy nights in… he’s here to bring us all the exclusives (and the intricacies of his bedtime routine) We also play a game of Rate Reiss’ Rizz and things get flirtatious on the sofa as we test the effectiveness of the triangle technique. Is it too late for a game of scrabble?! To find out more and to enter to win a £5000 TUI holiday voucher, visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠tui.co.uk/mafsuk Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The gold envelope of doom arrived again to announce the start of Love Hate week on MAFS… and while some couples are fully dancing around the kitchen in their underwear - for others - it’s make or break time. Has everything changed for Maeve and Joe? Have Rebecca and Bailey burst their bubble? Will Julia-Ruth and Divarni be able to bring it back from the brink? And when will John and Abigail give us a full performance of their dance duet?! Newlywed bride Leah pops into the studio to tell us all about the rollercoaster of married life, why scousers are naturally flirty and whatever the heck happened to that rose quartz on their wedding day… We also find out some cheeky behind the scenes exclusives in a game of Two Truths and a Leah! And remember to cancel your gym membership! No need to get buff when you can just buy a mini sewing machine. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Bonjour! How you doing?!  Three more couples have joined the experiment! Join Lucinda Light and one of our favourite TV couples Marcus and Mica for a well-needed debrief … because we’ve just seen three more couples get married to a stranger!  Abigail and John have fallen for each other faster than Joey Chestnuts can eat a hotdog, Leisha was worried she might be too much for Reiss and April is searching for a deeper connection with Leo…   Meanwhile, it was in-laws week and we got to know Keye’s mum *very* well!  It feels like time with friends and family was well-needed for Grace and Ashley - but it might have driven a wedge between Julia-Ruth and Divarni…  Newlywed Mrs Hotdog (aka April) has taken some time off her busy travelling schedule to pop by the studio to tell us about meeting her match - and just how thrilled she was to see a mullet waiting for her at the end of the aisle. We play a very sophisticated game of HOTdog or NOTdog to find out a little more about what makes her tick… Does anyone know where Reiss does his supermarket shop? Asking for a friend.  To find out more and to enter to win a £5000 TUI holiday voucher, visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠tui.co.uk/mafsuk Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

So, turns out strawberries and cream isn’t just a tennis thing after all… It’s experts week, and things have been hotting up for (some) of our couples! MAFS legend Lucinda Light is joined by the wonderful David Potts for this week’s debrief. For one of our couples - the honeymoon bubble has burst… can they turn things around? And can an intimacy workshop take things to the next level for our newlyweds? One thing’s for sure, Leah looked fabulous in that candy bra. It wouldn’t be experts week without an expert - so our amazing expert Charlene is here - and we’re also joined by our beautiful bride Sarah. We find out about how Sarah feels about the challenges she’s faced and lessons she’s learned so far in the experiment - and Charlene gives us an insight into the different types of intimacy, and why some couples move at different speeds to others. With in-laws week looming and the arrival of new brides and grooms imminent - what could be next for our newlyweds? One thing’s for sure though, we won’t be borrowing Joe’s salty pancake recipe. Or his toothbrush now we think about it… To find out more and to enter to win a £5000 TUI holiday voucher, visit ⁠⁠tui.co.uk/mafsuk Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Aloe, Vera! There’s a cyclone on the way -  stay inside, secure your windows and prepare to build an intimate connection with your new husband.  Our couples are well and truly in the honeymoon period - and so are we! Lucinda Light is joined by TV and radio presenter Yinka Bokinni for the ultimate MAFS debrief as we join our brides and grooms on the experiment of a lifetime. It’s time to find out if flying sparks at the top of the altar will mean a happy marriage, if eating a scorpion will bring you closer to your new wife, and if ziplines are an appropriate honeymoon activity…  And you know we love to give you an exclusive, so we’ve got our fabulous newlywed groom Keye in the studio! He bought the energy, he bought the gossip and he scared away quite a lot of the local wildlife in a little game we like to call - Davide Attenborough.  Now, It’s THYME for our couples to move into the apartments… will it leave them needing some SAGE advice from the experts or will it prove that they are MINT to be?! Ok, promise we’ll stop with the herb jokes now.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
