Joining the likes of Sarah, Leah and Grace, Married At First Sight UK has introduced Scottish lass Leisha Lightbody, a bride who is ready to settle down having dreamed of her wedding day since being a little girl.

Growing up, Leisha was inspired by her parent’s 40-year-long relationship and has longed to recreate what they’ve achieved - even if it's with a complete stranger. The experts were challenged to find a man who is tall, athletic and has bright blue eyes for Leisha.

She's been matched with Essex lad Reiss, who loves a romantic gesture and making the woman of his dreams feel special. However, Leisha's overexcited nature at the alter proved a little too much for him. He confessed to cameras: "She's 100 miles an hour. I hope it doesn't turn to 1,000 miles an hour."

As we watch the journey of Leisha and Reiss' relationship unfold, here's everything we know about Leisha, from her job to her Instagram.

At the hen do, Leisha told the girls: "You'll know by my face if I'm happy or not." Then, with a laugh, she quipped: "In fact, you probably won't because I've had that much botox."
