We expect there's been plenty of Leeds singletons watching this year's series of Married At First Sight and thinking "I could do this." Well, now is your chance.
Yes, that's right, the show's producers are on the hunt for their next lot of stunning singles to take part in the 2022 series.
The popular Channel 4 series sees dating experts match people with their perfect type - the catch being contestants only get to meet on the day they tie the knot.
Cameras then follow the couple in the first few months of marriage, to see if they grow closer after marrying immediately.
Sure to be full of drama if this year's show is anything to go by, do you think you've got what it takes to deal with affairs, fallouts and huge bust-ups almost every episode?
Producers will be selecting 16 contestants to take part in filming for the new series - and they're on the hunt for people from Leeds after local lad Matt became a smash hit with viewers after joining as part of the show's first gay couple.

Looking for a partner to grow old and have children with, Matt married Irish lad Daniel in a televised ceremony despite an age gap of 10 years, joining the show after his last relationship ended when his partner did not want children.
It certainly seems that Yorkshire folk are a hit with casting directors, given the fact that three from God's own country made it through onto this year's series.
Alongside charity worker Matt, Adam from Doncaster and Yorkshire lass Marilyse have both made their impact on the show this year.
Now, it could be your turn. To apple for the show, you must be a UK resident over eighteen and feel ready for marriage. It's important that you feel ready for experts to match you up with 'the one' when applying.
Leeds Bradford Airport is set for a standstill as almost 130 workers are set to take industrial action over pay.
If you're planning on catching a flight from Leeds Bradford Airport, then you may want to double check the date.
The Unite members planning on going on strike are a mixture of air traffic control workers, customer experience staff, security staff and cleaners.
The workers involved in the dispute have recently come out of a four-year pay deal, with some of the departments having fallen behind other airports in equivalent roles.
Pay talks have been happening since December 2025, with the airport's formal offer not going far enough to address the lack of pay parity.
Strikes will take place from 03:00 Friday 16 October to 06:00 Sunday 18 October for hourly paid staff and from 06:00 Friday 16 October to 06:00 Sunday 18 October for air traffic control workers.
Strike will mean the entire airport will shut down.
Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: "Leeds Bradford Airport is very profitable and can more than afford to come back to the table with an offer that doesn't fall short of our members' expectations.
"Our hardworking members should not be paid less than those doing the same jobs at other airports. Workers taking action at Leeds Bradford Airport have Unite's full support in their fight for fairer pay."
Unite regional officer Neil Whitaker said: "We know people who have flights planned to and from Leeds Bradford Airport will be concerned to hear of industrial action, however our members have no choice but to strike.
"The airport is profitable, passenger numbers are growing and our members are a major part of its success. They deserve a fair pay rise, and management must come back to the table to deliver this."
Leeds pizza shop hailed ‘exceptional’ and ‘best in the UK’ by major reviewer
Clementine Hall
A Leeds pizza takeaway has received a glowing review from popular review duo.
Edges Pizza opened up their first permanent spot in Leeds back in June this year, after making a name for themselves slinging out pizzas at multiple pop-ups across the city.
Owners Grace and Edge from Harrogate opened Edges Pizza two years ago, taking inspiration from trips to New York over the years.

Their pizzas are a love letter to the class New York slice, think thin and crispy rather than chewy and floppy. But above all else, think absolutely delicious.
And now, they've caught the attention of a major review page, with Bite Twice Food Reviews (a page with almost 300k followers) paying Edges a visit.
The food review duo of Gerry del Guercio and Paul Delany popped up in Holbeck beneath the arches to get their hands on a pizza, and the outcome is brilliant.
In the video, Bite Twice said that the pizza is 'f**cking exceptional' and up there with 'one of the best pizzas in the UK'.
Before even taking a bite, they said: "On aesthetic, I don't think anywhere in the UK is doing pizza like this".

Then after the first bite, they go on to say: "There are very few pizzas in the UK that create this, I’m a little bit blown away".
As Londoners themselves, they go on to say that Edges is 'easily hitting with the best that we’ve got down south'.
And if that's not high praise enough, they sign off the video saying: "Leeds has got an absolute gem. I give this a stamp so hard my foot went through the pizza. Edges. Don Level."
