Viewers Anoint MAFS UK Newcomers April Holmes and Leo Stanley as ‘Best Match’ After Debut

The praise marks a shift from recent viewer complaints about mismatched couples.

Overview

  • Following the October 8 episode, late arrivals April Holmes and Leo Stanley married on E4 and quickly drew strong praise on social media.
  • Posts on X labeled the pair the season’s “best match,” with multiple viewers saying the experts may have got it right.
  • On screen, the couple shared a prolonged kiss after their vows and later bonded over a love of travel and similarly difficult past break-ups.
  • Their debut came as six newcomer couples were added this week to a series that began September 21 with 18 participants matched by Paul C Brunson, Charlene Douglas and Mel Schilling.
  • Coverage emphasizes that the acclaim reflects social-media sentiment rather than a formal programme outcome, with the series set to continue on E4 tomorrow at 8pm.
