Overview

• Sunday’s episode introduced Anita, 54, and Paul, 60, who married on camera and shared emotional backstories involving family loss and recent upheaval.
• Viewers criticised Paul after he said he hasn’t dated since his divorce and joked about not knowing what marriage or love is, with many reading his humour as avoiding intimacy.
• Production rules reported by multiple outlets include bans on personal phones with issued devices instead, limited permission to leave accommodation and potential fines up to £10,000 for leaks.
• The show funds and organises ceremonies and honeymoons, caps alcohol consumption and restricts social-media signals such as wearing rings to avoid revealing outcomes.
• An eyewitness account described large crews, coordinated staging and repeated takes of vows at a shared venue, reinforcing questions about how scenes are shaped for broadcast.
