Married At First Sight UK fans were left begging the show's experts as they rushed to support groom Dean
Married At First Sight UK is set to return in 2025, with a fresh batch of hopeful singles ready to say 'I do' to complete strangers in a series of romantic ceremonies.
The latest instalment of the E4 reality show kicked off on Sunday evening (September 21), introducing viewers to 18 new brides and grooms who will tie the knot upon their first meeting at the altar.
The couples are expertly matched by a team comprising Paul C Brunson, Charlene Douglas, and Mel Schilling.
After their wedding days, the newlyweds jet off on honeymoon before returning to their apartments, where the real drama begins with dinner parties and commitment ceremonies.
Viewers were quick to rally behind Dean Vary, a "lovable" new groom introduced by the experts, reports OK!.
The 31-year-old team-building host hails from Feltham, West London, and is eager to meet his dream girl.
A hopeless romantic, Dean once flew all the way to Venice for a first date. Inspired by his parents' loving relationship, he has high expectations for his own love life.
Despite previously being shy around girls, his varied career as a darts player, stand-up comedian, magician, cruise ship host, and team building course leader has boosted his confidence and charm.
Having been single for about a year following the end of a relationship in which he was told he wasn't 'the one', Dean is now healed and ready to find his soul mate.
MAFS viewers immediately flocked to social media to rally behind Dean, with one supporter declaring: "If ANYONE hurts Dean, they will have me to deal with. He's definitely one of the good guys! #mafs #MAFSUKmonies."
Another fan proclaimed: "Dean is my favvv already #MAFSUK", whilst a third observed: "I don't think Sarah is going to like Dean.. #MAFSUK.
"#MAFSUK Dean is lovely", remarked one viewer whilst another shared the sentiment, adding: "I like Dean. Seems really nice."
One desperate fan pleaded: "Nicest most friendly guy on the show pair him well please please!!!".
However, when Dean was matched with Sarah and delivered his wedding vows in rap form - a performance that failed to impress both viewers and wedding guests - she immediately announced he wasn't her type.
