TV viewers are once again hooked on Married At First Sight UK, after the hit E4 show returned to screens on 18 September with another drama-filled series.

Eight brides and eight grooms signed up to wed a complete a stranger, and while romance appears to be blossoming for some couples others haven't had such an easy ride so far.

One couple that have hit it off is Jay Howard and Luke Worley, and Jay, 31, has proven to be popular with viewers, who were "loving" her from the very first episode.

Here, we take a look into Jay's life away from the cameras…

Thirty one year old Jay is a sales manager who hails from Accrington, Lancashire. Jay's social media accounts are filled with glamorous snaps from fun nights out with friends and she's rarely seen without a smile across her face.

On the E4 show, she opened up about her disability. Jay was born without part of her left arm and candidly revealed that she was often bullied during her time at school and her disability has impacted her love life in the past.

“I was born without my left arm. They just plonked me on my mum and said ‘she’s lost her arm along the way’," Jay said. "There were hard times at school. There were times when I was chucked in bins and tied to a fence. I felt humiliated and it stripped me away from my personality a bit."

She added: "My arm has had an impact with dating sometimes. Some people get a bit cringed out by it but it’s hard because you think ‘why do you not want to know who I am?’ it really took a toll on me.”

Prior to MAFS, Jay was with her ex-boyfriend for four years but they eventually split after things "fizzled out".

Married At First Sight UK appears to be Jay's first reality TV stint, and ahead of the series launch she said: "Hopefully, they’ve found someone who is right for me and I do have faith that everything happens for a reason."

It's yet to be revealed if Jay and Luke, 30, who previously appeared on The Language of Love, are still together, as MAFS contestants tend to wait until the entire series has aired to let fans know if things worked out.

However, viewers think the couple have hinted that they're still together with Luke recently reflecting on his MAFS wedding on Instagram, tellings his followers it was an "amazing day".

Luke penned: "WHAT A DAY!! I hope you all enjoyed watching our wedding as much we enjoyed it! It was an amazing day and I couldn’t have wished for it to have gone any better. Having my close family and friends with me made me feel at ease from start to finish."

He also added: "This will always be a day I will never forget. I cannot wait for you all to see the rest of our journey".

Eagle-eyed MAFS fans have also noticed the 30 year old has been leaving heart emojis underneath Jay's Instagram posts recently and they still follow each other on the app, prompting many to hope their relationship is still going strong.
