Married at First Sight UK's Paul Brunson teases potential for celebrity version of show

Married at First Sight UK (MAFS UK) relationship expert Paul C. Brunson has teased that there is potential for a celebrity edition of the E4 reality series in the future.

It comes amid the latest series of MAFS UK, which continues tonight and has seen another batch of singletons get married to people that they have never met.

Paul, 47 - who's been dubbed "the world's most influential matchmaker" - opened up about the series during an appearance on YouTube show Reality with Will Njobvu.

He teased that there is potential for celebrity participants to take part in the future, saying during the recent interview: "There was talk about a celebrity Married at First Sight."

He asked interviewer Will Njobvu - who is a presenter on Capital XTRA alongside other projects - whether he would be interested in applying for a celebrity edition.

Will responded: "Oh I would do it, because at this point I'm up for it. All of this dating stuff, it's just too much. The dating apps, it's just so fickle."

There has previously been speculation over a celebrity edition of Married at First Sight Australia, with it reported last year that potential participants had been approached.

It was unclear whether such a concept would involve celebrities marrying each other or them potentially tying the knot with non-celebrities for the TV experiment.

The rumour however was dismissed by John Aiken - one of the show's relationship experts - who told Yahoo Lifestyle in June: "I think we just keep doing what we're doing."

He added: "I don't think we need to go down the path of Celebrity MAFS." John proposed that the next season, due to air in 2023, should keep "essentially the same ingredients."

Paul also teased over the new series of Celebs Go Dating (Youtube)

Paul already has experience helping high-profile individuals navigate relationships as he also appears as an expert on Celebs Go Dating, which like MAFS UK, airs on E4.

The new series is now in production and Paul teased during his recent interview that its the "best" series of the show yet, as they've put work into taking it to the "next level".

He added that this includes "opening up new elements of the agency" and further commented that those behind the show are doing "many things differently" for the new series.

Married at First Sight UK continues on E4 tonight at 9pm. You can catch up on previous episodes through All4.
