MAFS UK show bosses have faced a difficult task in trying to get all their stars back on screen for a Christmas reunion episode this year.
Cast members from each season of the E4 dating show are summoned to give an update on their lives post filming during the festive period.

But a groom from series nine is proving hard to track down after he ditched his wife suddenly in favour of a new girlfriend when the cameras stopped rolling.
Ross and Sacha appeared to be one of the strongest couples on the show, with Ross even telling her he loves her in a recent episode.
The experts and their co-stars alike were overjoyed for the couple, who seemed to be perfect for each other.
However, it has come out that Ross revealed he didn’t see a future with Sacha just days after completing the TV experiment.
He then quickly hard launched his new relationship with a blonde business owner called Magda on Instagram.
A source has now revealed that not only is he avoiding his heartbroken bride, Ross is also dodging calls from MAFS UK production members in the lead up to the Christmas special.
They told the Sun: “Producers are shooting another Christmas special, bringing back some of the biggest MAFS faces from this series and the previous one.
“They are really keen to get Ross, given all the drama that has gone down after he dumped her following filming wrapping, but he doesn’t want to face her.
“He has been avoiding productions calls and won’t commit. Bosses aren’t giving up and will keep trying to persuade him, but as of right now he wants to move past the show and focus on his new relationship.
“It’s a real blow for the production as the end of series reunion filmed before the latest run started airing, so they wanted to get back all the biggest characters to delve into the various dramas and feuds that have developed between the cast while the show has gone out on TV.”
The Sun has contacted Channel 4 for comment.
Someone close to the jilted bride previously shared her shock at the recent developments, telling MailOnline: “Sacha had an incredible experience filming Married At First Sight UK and she truly thought her marriage with Ross would work.
“She moved to Manchester to be with him but after just two weeks he went cold and ended their romance for good.
“Sacha was devastated and now watching their journey back as the show airs makes processing their breakup even harder.
“Producers weren’t happy either… Ross gave away that he and Sacha were no longer together by posting photos with his new girlfriend – he had no problem flaunting his romance despite the fact it would hurt his ex-wife’s feelings.”
