“You and me, plain to see, to the end of time, hopefully. Everybody sing with me. When I say wed, you say D.”

The camera pans to the bridesmaids and the bride’s father as everybody is confused about whether they should join in or not, with plenty of awkward laughs and raised eyebrows.

Dean turns to Sarah and gets her involved as she starts chanting the awkward rap. In a confessional to camera, he expresses: “It turned out way better than I could have hoped. This is my type of lady.”

Earlier this month, the 18 hopefuls who are stepping out of their comfort zone with a complete stranger were revealed and the new series has gone international with it’s cast members.

Joining the line-up are groom Davide, 33, who hails from Portugal and bride Julia-Ruth, who is a professional dancer, coming all the way from New Zealand in a bid to find love.

We also have Liverpool's Rebecca, an Aesthetics Nurse and clinic owner, Aberdeen contestant Sarah, a recruitment consultant and Edinburgh-based Paul, who is retired and looking for the one.

Before viewers tune in to watch their whirlwind romances unfold, a few of the stars revealed their fears and hopes when it comes to marrying a stranger the experts have deemed their perfect match.

Speaking about marrying a stranger, Rebecca, 32, said to the Mirror : "If I think about it too much, I panic. I keep thinking to myself, he feels the same as I do right now. He must be nervous and wondering what I am like. I’m so excited to take part in this with him.

"I hope he’ll have my back, and I’ll have his.." She has her 'fingers crossed' that the experts matched her with someone she'll get along with but reveals she'll be turned off if they're emotionally unavailable.

While she's all in with the experiment, she admits physical first impressions are important, adding: "I’m sure I’ll judge him on his height! I’m quite tall so it’s important that he’s tall too. I just need to have that instant attraction, I want to look at him and fancy him."

Meanwhile, Sarah, 31, who is matched with Dean, has been single for a while and before joining the show said she wants to meet the 'man of her dreams' as she had 'terrible taste in men in the past'.

The contestant has many worries about the experiment as she said: "I’m putting everything into this. After revealing she doesn't like anyone over the age of 18 having Snapchat or anyone with a negative attitude, she insisted she'll be open minded as "I've been matched with him for a reason".

When asked about moving in with a complete stranger, Sarah explained: "I’m looking forward to that. It’s going to be a lot and it’s going to be intense, but I am so ready for this! I’m a good person to live with, so we’ll have fun regardless."

Retired Paul doesn't have many 'red flags' he looks out for when it comes to relationships. He's only asking that the person isn't "false". When asked whether he trusts putting his heart in the hands of the experts, the 60-year-old immediately said: "No! Should I trust them?"
