What will happen in Married at First Sight UK 2023?
Expert Paul C Brunson previously confirmed some changes were made to the format, teasing this series will be the most "explosive" ever.
Speaking to The Sun, he confirmed that for the first time, all three experts will visit the couples' apartments to offer relationship advice throughout the show.
"You'll see in this series we make visits to their apartments, myself, Charlene and Mel," Brunson told the publication.
"It has happened individually before - with that sex visit to Kwame and Kasia, but this will be the first series that you see all of us make independent visits to their apartments, and group visits to help them along.
"I think it's really good because you get a chance to get to see us do what each of us is an expert in."
