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.
Silver's Deli is opening up a sister shop, and this time it's about everything baked.
We all know and love Silver's Deli for their stacked subs and breakfast sandwiches that could cure any hangover no matter how severe.
They're so good, that they even bagged the coveted Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Award last year.
And rightly so, because everything Silver's do is absolutely class.

And it seems there's just no stopping Silver's, as last month they announced that they'll be opening a sister shop named 'Silver's Bakehouse' serving up everything, yep you guessed it, baked.
What exactly has not yet been revealed, with owner Chris keeping details tightly under wraps.
But what we do know is that every single thing will be made fresh, with love, in-house, at their new brand spanking new location in Farsley.
They've been keeping adoring fans updated on their socials with renovation updates, and it's already looking absolutely top tier.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Silver's Deli said: "Well it’s happening. I said no more shops, but it’s kinda necessary, and I just love all things baked.
"There’s waaaaaaaaay too many details to share on this right now, but go give our sister shop @silvers_bakehouse a new follow and hold on tight. This is gonna be fun as fuck."
We're in no doubt that this venture is going to be absolutely brilliant, and you best believe we'll be first in line to try one of those brownies.
Silver's Bakehouse will be located on Town Street in Farsley and is opening next Friday 22 May - just in time for the late May bank holiday weekend. We'll see you there.

Inside the £1.75m Horsforth farmhouse complete with its very own cottage and five acres of land
Clementine Hall
Go behind the doors of this truly beautiful house on the market in the leafy suburb of Horsforth.
Now this one really is a thing of beauty.
Located on Scotland Lane in Horsforth, The Rookery is an absolutely stunning former Georgian farmhouse dating all the way back to the 19th century.
It occupies a whopping 5,000 sq ft as well as its very own cottage amongst 5.5 acres of land, as well as five double bedrooms and three bathrooms.

And guess what? It's only on the market for a mere guide price of £1.75 million. Pocket change.
In the main house you're welcomed with a grand entrance hall and staircase leading through to a series of reception rooms on the ground floor, how posh. Here you'll also find a wet room and an orangery which attaches to the kitchen, even more posh.

Upstairs there's five double bedrooms, three bathrooms and a study - that should be plenty room for us we think.
But the exterior is where it gets really interesting as here you'll find five acres of beautifully maintained gardens featuring an orchard, kitchen garden and a tennis court.

There's also 'stabling suited to equine use, adding further appeal for those with equestrian interests'... we couldn't have put it better ourselves.
Beyond that The Rookery features it's very own detached two-bedroom cottage as well as a garage with mezzanine accommodation.

The entire property looks like something out of a fairytale, so if you're looking to live your best 19th century Bridgerton-esque life, then dig deep and get hold of that £1.75 million.
But if you do buy it, can we please live in the cottage?
