Wedded Bliss is everyone's favourite reality TV show, where couples match, marry and compete for a grand prize.

Dolly is in it for money. She doesn't want a husband, but a partnership launched on international TV could definitely help her influencer career. Model Warren might just be her man.

Carys is in it for love. It's not like she's had much luck in the romance department, so why not trust the show's matchmakers with her heart? Could handsome veterinarian Patrick be the one?

The tension building between them is as hot as the competition and the two women can't deny their chemistry. For Carys, it's an awakening, but any change of plan could ruin everything for Dolly.

Will they find reality TV fame or the reality of love?
