It will start at 9:30PM on Tuesday, October 6 and will run for four episodes.

MAFS sees hopeful strangers matched with their future husband or wife by a group of experts.

But the catch is, they meet for the first time on their wedding day, before being followed around by cameras for their first six weeks together.

At the end of the experiment, they have to decide whether to stay together or get divorced.

This year, Celebs Go Dating matchmaker Paul C Brunson who is known as the ‘real-life Hitch’ will be pairing the couples, as well as leading UK love guru Genevieve Gresset and psychologist, Dr Angela Smith.

"The refreshed format charts each couples’ efforts to make life as husband and wife work, before they make a crucial decision - whether to part ways or remain in wedded bliss."

And there’s already a trailer of season five, which looks as though it’s going to bring all the drama you could ask for.

The clip sees couples smiling as they make champagne toasts, before showing the stress of the big day kicking in for others.

One participant says: “She might be absolutely in bits, questioning whether to go through with it or not… fingers crossed she just walks down the aisle.”
