After the ceremony takes place, the new couples are followed by a camera crew to see how they cope with married life.

Clark, who appeared on Series 2 of the show and married Melissa, revealed in an interview with Cosmopolitan that you have to ‘legally be married for a year’ before you can legally separate.
