Why isn't Married at First Sight UK on right now? A new episode of MAFS UK is on tonight - here's when

There is a new episode of Married at First Sight UK tonight, it’s just not on yet.

If you’ve just turned on your TV ready for a new installment of MAFS UK series 10 (at 8pm on Wednesday November 5), then we understand.

For the last four weeks, the Wednesday night episode has been moved from the show’s usual 9pm broadcast slot to 8pm instead.

The reason for this is BBC One aired a new episode of The Celebrity Traitors at 9pm every Wednesday and Thursday since the beginning of October. Given how popular the show is, it’s understandable that bosses decided they didn’t want to get in to a ratings war. So, they changed the broadcast time.

But, tonight there’s no episode of Celebrity Traitors and so MAFS is back in its usual 9pm slot on E4. That’s great news if you’ve just tuned in as you haven’t missed tonight’s episode, you just have to wait another hour. Tonight’s episode sees the remaining couples embark on their final dates before they decide whether or not they want to take their relationships into the real world at the final vows ceremony.

After last night’s final commitment ceremony, in which both Nelly and Steven and April and Leo chose to leave the experiment, there are now five couples left. They are Abigail and John, Rebecca and Bailey, Davide and Keye, Leigh and Leah and Leisha and Reiss.

While you wait for the latest episode to air, you could catch up on MAFS UK Does Come Dine With Me. The crossover series of the two iconic Channel 4 brands sees previous MAFS brides and grooms take part in the cooking competition in a bid to win £1,000 for charity.

* Married at First Sight UK airs tonight (Wednesday November 5) tonight on E4 at 9pm. Watch previous episodes now on Channel 4 On Demand. MAFS Does Come Dine With Me is also available to watch on C4 catch-up service.
