Viewers have been anticipating the return of Married At First Sight UK on E4 for weeks.

Glitch! Viewers have been anticipating the return of Married At First Sight UK on E4 for weeks - yet fans of the show were left outraged on Monday when the series premiere was cut off mid-way through its broadcast
The glitch happened near the end of the episode, with invested fans left desperate to know how contestant Megan's mum and brother would take the news that she was marrying a complete stranger.
Those experiencing the glitch didn't see Megan's mother storm off, furious with her daughter's decision to take part on the show.
They also didn't get to see the two weddings that took place on the episode - one of the main events from the show.
'Wow I’m really enjoying #MAFSUK tonight thank you @E4Tweets!' someone tweeted, along with a photo of their screen with the error message on it.

Oh dear! Viewers weren't impressed with the website error
'I'm fuming e4 isn't working online if I miss meg and bobs wedding I will kick off!' someone else raged.
A third penned: 'All4 got me f**ked up. The minute I commit to watching #MAFSUK it decides to have technical issues, now I can't watch with the rest of the UK!'
A fourth penned: 'Come on @E4Tweets I need my #MAFSUK and the e4 player’s down!'
'The E4 website is misbehaving!' complained another.
Married At First Sight UK airs Monday to Thursdays at 9PM on E4.
