Married At First Sight UK has introduced viewers to Leo Stanley, a graphic designer ready to say 'I do' to a complete stranger.

Single for the past five years, Leo believes this dating experiment is the only way he can see himself getting married, having often found himself stuck in the friend zone. He challenged the experts to match him with someone who is artsy, creative with a lot of edge that loves to travel.

He was paired with April, a no-nonsense bride who is ready for her happily ever after. Before Leo got hitched, he expressed his readiness to embark on married life: “There’s so much riding on today. I’ve never been more ready in my life.” Let's hope his new bride is ready to take on the trial and tribulations of married life with him by her side.
