Your support makes all the difference.Two couples who had never seen each other before tied the knot on Channel 4’s Married at First Sight as part of a “daring social and scientific experiment”.
Sound bonkers? Well, most viewers watching at home couldn’t believe the concept of marrying someone you had never seen before on TV either.
The couples were matched by a group of “experts” who believe personality, IQ and psychometric tests can “scientifically” decide if a couple have got what it takes to make it through life’s ups and downs together.
Like every good Channel 4 documentary, the show has provoked a lot of reactions from viewers at home.
