In a pre-season trailer, a shock first for the show is teased.
“In all of our years of this experiment, this is unprecedented,” he’s heard saying, as he steps out of his car and knocks on someone’s door.
“Everyone’s going to want to know about it,” another groom is heard whispering before a bride adds: “Did you hear one of the grooms… is gone.”
The voiceover of the trailer then goes on to state the shock of the season, that for the first time, a groom does a runner. It is still unknown who the groom is.
Married at First Sight 2024 premieres Monday, January 29 at 7:30 pm on Nine and 9Now.
