Married at First Sight is back with a bang with 16 new contestants in its UK edition, who are ready to walk down the aisle into a stranger's arms.

And this season is set to be the most diverse yet, with a gay wedding finally happening on the show for the first time.

Contestants Daniel McKee and Matt Jameson are set to tie the knot in the series, and last night's episode saw Daniel's debut.

He said: "Gay marriage has only been legalised very recently in Northern Ireland, which is absolutely shocking.

"And, now that I can share my relationship with the world, I find that so important."

Discover everything you need to know about the contestant below, ahead of the next episodes.

Who is Daniel McKee in Married at First Sight UK?

Daniel McKee is 27 years old and works in sales.

He hails from Northern Ireland and is one of Married at First Sight's first gay contestants.

Daniel has a passion for hiking, cold water swims and meditation, and is also a vegetarian. However, he's also been described as a "spiritual force to be reckoned with" with "infectious positivity" by the show's creators.

The soon-to-be-wedded star also says he can: "Convince the most closed-minded person to open up and discuss the meaning of life."

And while he's worried about getting his heart broken, Daniel says he still feels "relaxed" about the process.

What is the age gap between Daniel McKee and his groom Matt Jameson?

Daniel will be partnered up with Matt Jameson, who is 12 years older than him, as they tie the knot on the show later this season.

However, given the age gap between the pair, viewers were left feeling concerned that it may dash hopes of the marriage lasting.

The first episode ended with the narrator saying: "Two grooms are confronted with an age gap" as Matt questioned Daniel's age.

Find out what happens and watch their relationship unfold on Married at First Sight UK as it airs on E4 from Monday to Thursday every week at 9pm.
