Meet Amy Kenyon from Married at First Sight: Blackburn wedding planner among MAFS UK’s first intruders
MARRIED AT First Sight season nine is in full swing, and there has been more drama than ever.
Every year the show introduces two new couples midway through the series and Amy Kenyon is one of the 2024 “intruder” brides.
Amy Kenyon, 29, is a wedding coordinator.
But she has swapped her job to bag the title of bride herself on Married At First Sight.
Hailing from Blackburn, Amy is looking for the “man of her dreams”.
Revealing her big news about being on MAFS, Amy posted on Instagram: “Surprise! I got married to a total a stranger!”
Amy’s ideal man
Before going on the show Amy described her perfect groom.
In her introduction video, she said she was looking for a “tall man who’s a gentleman”.
After having three serious relationships, Amy wants to leave her love life in the hands of the MAFS experts who can do the hard work for her.
She said: “I hoping they’ll help me find someone who I can truly fall in love with.”
Meet the groom
Fans have been given a sneak peek at who Amy is set to marry on MAFS – and there is already trouble in paradise.
Viewers will watch her marry prison worker Luke from Kent.
However, things don’t get off to the best start, and in a clip from their wedding, Amy reveals that her groom gives her the “ick”.
Claim to MAFS fame
Before signing up to the show, Amy already had a link to Married At First Sight.
A source told The Sun that she previously “enjoyed a string of dates” with former MAFS UK groom Arthur Poremba.
The E4 star left the matchmaking experiment single in 2023 after his bride Laura Vaughan ended their relationship, in their final vow renewal ceremony.
A source told us: “Amy and Arthur had been messaging each other for a little while.
“She then disappeared for three months to go on the show and then all of a sudden reappeared one day and he went ‘where the f*** did you go?’
“She said she couldn’t tell him so he asked her if she’d been on Married At First Sight and she confirmed she had.”
The source continued: “They ended up meeting up and going to a rave together after that, but didn’t get on romantically so decided not to pursue things.”
The pair also shared a picture together on social media.
A representative for Amy has denied that the pair were a couple.
