Fresh reporting details phone bans, movement limits, potential fines, plus production‑funded ceremonies.

Overview

  • Series 10 continues on E4 with 54-year-old Anita matched to 60-year-old Paul, whose wedding episode airs on September 28, according to official previews.
  • Channel 4’s profile highlights Anita’s adventurous streak, including fire‑eating, helicopter lessons and pole dancing, framed by recent personal upheavals.
  • Cast members are barred from using personal phones, receive production devices, face strict social‑media limits and do not wear rings while the series airs, former participants say.
  • Ex‑groom Luke Worley reports that leaking information can trigger fines of up to £10,000 and says contestants have restricted freedom to leave their accommodation.
  • Production covers venues, catering, stag/hen events and honeymoons, with reports of long shoots, repeated takes and a reused wedding location dressed as multiple venues; ceremonies are not legally binding and guest numbers are limited.
