Entries open for Channel 4 series Married at First Sight

Single people in Bristol wanting to get married (to a stranger) have been invited to appear on a Channel 4 show.

TV company CPL Productions is making a series called Married at First Sight.

An appeal has been launched seeking single people wishing to star in it.

Matchmaking experts will employ a range of techniques to link up couples and turn them into Mr and Mrs.

Based on the Dutch series, the programme sees six singles marry complete strangers in a rather extreme experiment.

The couples are matched by specialists – including a spiritualist, a relationship coach and a sociologist, using "scientific matchmaking methods to determine each couple, who will not have met or had contact with each other until the wedding day".

After their big day, the cameras follow the couples on their respective honeymoons before deciding after five weeks whether they are going to stay together, reports Teesside Live.

The requirements for participation are that you are aged 18 or over, feel ready for marriage and want to draw on the experts' wisdom.

To apply, send an email to marriedatfirstsight@cplproductions.co.uk with your name, age, and contact number.

A spokesperson for CPL said: "Please note, due to a high volume of applicants, unfortunately we cannot guarantee that we will be able to get back to everyone, but thank you for taking the time to apply."
