MAFS UK romance ends as Channel 4 abandons sixth series

11/12 @ 7:36pm by Morten Nielsen

Married at First Sight UK stars Shona Manderson and Matt Pilmoor have ended their three-year relationship

The pair met at the programme’s 2023 reunion after initially being matched with other contestants

Shona said difficult circumstances and distance had contributed to the split

Their separation comes as Channel 4 confirms MAFS UK will not return following allegations of sexual misconduct by former participants

Series six, which had been recorded before production was paused, will not be aired, while no further work will be carried out

The channel said recommended welfare changes would fundamentally alter the format.
