Savvy fans will recognise that a weekend episode is different to previous years, as it forms part of a new scheduling plan for MAFS UK.
From this year, episodes of the show will air each night from Sunday to Thursday.
This means fans of the dramatic reality show have an extra hour each week to chomp on.
The series will also be available to stream on Channel 4.

As always, Paul C Brunson, Mel Schilling and Charlene Douglas will be on hand to provide their supposedly expert marriage matchmaking and advice.
They will be key to ensuring couples are well-matched and dealing with the aftermath if the partnership falls apart.
