YOU thought that there was no more evening drama after Love Island?
Oh please, get yourself prepared for Married at First Sight UK as the hit Channel 4 reality show returns.
How much do Married at First Sight contestants get paid?
Married At First Sight producers are yet to reveal if their contestants are paid a salary.
However, Nasser Sultan, who appeared in season five of Married at First Sight Australia, revealed how much he got paid.
He told nowtolove.com: “You get $150 for the day, that's it.
"But on top of that, you have to pay expenses – your living expenses with the woman that you marry."
He added: "It's not $150 clear. You still have to pay rent if you're renting, you've gotta pay your rego and it's 12-hour filming days."
As $150 is around £78, this could be what UK contestants are paid while filming.

Do Married at First Sight couples sign prenups?
Prenups cannot be issued when taking part in MAFS.
This is because each couple's marriage isn't technically real.
They say vows, and exchange rings, but they aren't really married.
If they decide to "stay married" they will then enter into a full time relationship.
The couple can then decide if they want to get married for real.
One MAFS pair who did this for real was Cam and Jules from the popular Aussie version of the show.
How can I watch MAFS?
You can watch Married At First Sight most weekdays on E4.
