Meet MAFS UK’s first transgender contestant
Ella Morgan Clark is the first transgender contestant to take part in Married At First Sight UK.
The 29-year-old is a clinic consultant from Weston-super-Mare.
Speaking about her participation, she said: “This experiment is so much more than just me getting married. I see this as a big deal for someone who has transitioned.”
When Ella was announced, fans speculated that her future groom might not find out about her transition until after they tied the know, however, Ella put those theories to rest.
Speaking to BBC’s Newsbeat, she explained: “Because it was the first time Channel 4 had ever done something like this, I agreed along with them that once they’d found me a match my husband was made aware that I was trans prior to the wedding.
“He was aware that I was trans and I had transitioned but he didn’t know anything else about me.”
It comes as contestants aren’t supposed to know anything about their future spouse before they get married.
