Shona is a 31-year-old performing arts teacher from Nottingham. 

She describes herself as a true free spirit and won't hold back from speaking her mind. As for her hobbies, she recently got into spirituality and Yoga.

Following a number of failed relationships, Shona is keen for the experts to help her break the cycle of whirlwind flings.

Brad is a Grimsby-based model. 

The 31-year-old falls quickly into relationships. He's a firm believer that people only fall in love three times in life, so he's hoping that he'll strike third time lucky on MAFS UK. 

Ahead of joining the experiment, Brad told Channel 4: "I trust the experts with all my heart that they have matched me well."

Are Shona and Brad still together?

Filming for season eight of MAFS UK wrapped up earlier this year, so the couples have already decided whether or not they would stay together beyond the experiment.

Given the new season has only been on our screens for a week, this year's contestants have remained tight-lipped on whether their romances have been successful.
