THE first bride of Married At First Sight's 2025 instalment has been revealed - and she's been hailed one of "the most stunning" yet.
The Sun is first to report how dental nurse Leisha Lightbody is first to sign up for the E4 series.
Leisha juggles her role as dental practice manager with marketing and social media roles, often showcasing her lavish getaways and glam lifestyle on Instagram and TikTok.
Yet the brunette will soon be switching vacations for vows during Married At First Sight filming, which will see her say I Do to a complete stranger.
A source was first to tell us: "Leisha is one of the most stunning brides MAFS UK has ever had, and she’s sure to catch the eye of all the grooms on the new series - not just her own.
"Leisha is obviously sworn to secrecy about being on the show, which filmed earlier this year, so there are no signs of it on her social media yet.
"The cast are set to be announced next month, with the show airing later in the autumn."
The Sun has contacted a rep for C4 for comment and a spokesperson said: "We do not comment on speculation.
"The MAFS UK cast will be announced in the coming weeks."
Earlier this summer, Leisha flashed her figure in a bridal white two-piece on holiday in Ibiza.
It followed a Barcelona holiday earlier that month.
The bride-to-be, who turned 30 this year, is based in Edinburgh.
It remains to be seen who she will be paired with in the explosive reality series - which last year produced no successful partnerships or lasting marriages.
SHOW SCANDAL
Meanwhile, we reported how the matchmaking show is already facing an early scandal.
A show star has alleged they were "sexually assaulted on honeymoon" by their partner during filming.
Cops are now probing the claims.
The “non-recent” claim was reported on June 14 but we are not revealing the names of those involved, or the police force, for legal reasons.
Scenes surrounding the alleged victim have already been aired.
It is the latest scandal to hit the Channel 4 show — now in its ninth season — which sees “relationship experts” match up singletons.
The couple first meet at the altar before the honeymoon, after which they live together in a complex in the UK before deciding whether to split up.
They are also filmed at dinner parties and a commitment ceremony.
Channel 4, which advertises the show as a “bold, social experiment”, initially denied a complaint had been made before coming clean.
A source said: “It’s a nightmare scenario for them.
“The show’s been criticised for throwing strangers together and sending them on honeymoon for viewers’ entertainment.
"Now it’s alleged someone was assaulted after tying the knot.
"It is a disastrous look for bosses.”
Police told The Sun: “We received a report of a non-recent sexual assault on June 14.
"Enquiries remain ongoing.”
A spokesperson for the show told The Sun: “We are aware that a report has been made to police about an alleged sexual assault during the filming of a dinner party.
“We take any issues on the show incredibly seriously.
“Producers follow strict welfare protocols as the wellbeing of the cast is always the first priority.
“Support would be offered to anyone who wished to report a matter to the authorities, and naturally we would cooperate with any enquiries or investigations.”
