Married At First Sight UK star Ella has opened up about being the show's first transgender bride, revealing that she never thought she'd achieve her marriage dream.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old clinic consultant is a blonde bombshell with a big heart, but admitted to OK!<\/b> that she hasn't had the easiest time with dating in the past. <\/p>\n

"Growing up, my dream was to be a princess, a wife, a mother. Back then, I didn\u2019t think that was possible \u2013 that I could transition and be who I am," she said.<\/p>\n

"Being trans, I found men didn\u2019t want to be with me openly \u2013 a lot of guys see us as a fetish, so I never believed I would ever get married."<\/p>\n

Married At First Sight 2023\u2019s brides talk \u2018drama, tears, husband-stealing and family rifts\u2019<\/p>\n

She added: "After transitioning and having all my surgeries, I just thought, 'I do want to get married,' and that I owed it to six-year-old me to fulfil my dream."<\/p>\n

The bride from Weston-Super-Mare signed up to appear on MAFS UK and loved the experience – but revealed that she underestimated how teary she would be during the process.<\/p>\n

"I was very open minded going into the experience, and it was the most amazing thing I\u2019ve ever done. I knew I had thick skin, but I didn\u2019t realise how emotional this would be," she said. "I remember saying I would never cry in front of a man and for a lot of the show I cried. Me and Ros were known as the criers."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As for what she was looking for in a husband, Ella revealed that she wanted someone tall and open-minded with good teeth. " You could look like the back end of a bus but as long as you\u2019ve got good teeth, I\u2019d probably date you," she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ella isn't the only single taking part in the E4 show this year – she's joined in the hen party by 31-year-old Jay from Lancashire, 34-year-old Laura from Hampshire, 32-year-old Peggy from Kent, 36-year-old Porscha from London and 28-year-old Rosaline from Crewe.<\/p>\n

Also walking down the aisle is 31-year-old Peggy from Nottingham and 25-year-old Tasha from Leeds.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While we don't know who their husbands are just yet, they'll be matched with either 34-year-old tennis coach Arthur, 27-year-old model Brad, 30-year-old sports rehabilitator Georges, 30-year-old sales executive Luke, 36-year-old marketing manager Nathanial, 26-year-old account manager Paul, 40-year-old DJ Terence and 27-year-old Thomas.<\/p>\n

And of course, it'll be up to the MAFS experts – Paul C. Brunson, Melanie Schilling and Charlene Douglas – as to who'll be matched up together.<\/p>\n

Married at First Sight UK airs from Monday 18th September at 9pm on E4.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
