Married At First Sight UK: What happens tonight?

As the homestays continue this evening, Matt heads to Northern Ireland to meet Dan’s family.

MAFS UK viewers will know that the Irish sales worker has hopes of settling down in his home town.

However, Matt appears perfectly content living in Leeds.

The two take a trip to the beach, however it isn’t long before doubts start to creep in.

Matt seems concerned that the isolated town is a “completely different experience.”

Speaking off camera, he says: “I do have concerns that the whole living situation is something that might come up between us.

“Dan has got his heart set on setting roots here in Northern Ireland.

“I just hope we can come to some sort of compromise. I don’t want to put myself in a situation where I wouldn’t be happy.”

Meanwhile, Matt also admits how he’s feeling to husband Dan.

I’m apprehensive about it

He adds: “This is such an idyllic place and it’s absolutely beautiful to be here.

“But I guess the fact we haven’t known each other that long, and we’re still in the early stages of our relationship…”

Matt concludes: “I am nervous and I am apprehensive about it.”
