“Married a stranger, even though the nerves nearly got the better of me.”

So who is Nottingham barber Adam Nightingale?

Well, he’s among the line-up appearing on the latest season of Married at First Sight.

It’s on Channel 4 and sees singles marry a complete stranger at the altar. Yep, that’s right!

Adam said: “ Married a stranger, even though the nerves nearly got the better of me. Although you all may of seen a awkward day, full of negativity… it was actually an amazing day, full of laughs, serious chats & banter, and shared with our amazing friends and family.”

Adam's time on the show began rather awkwardly when he failed to give his new partner any compliments on their wedding day. He said his new bride Polly Sellman wasn't his usual type.

Adam, who is 33, revealed he was ready for love. He said: "The best thing that could happen is I find the love of my life and we have lots of children."

Adam is originally from Nottingham, and appears to have a close relationship with his family there.

When asked who he thinks his loved ones would want him to be with, Adam said: "I think my parents would love me to be with someone who is family-orientated and very caring."

He has a strong collection of tattoos across his body. During the initial episodes, Adam said his usual type is when it comes to girlfriends were “unreal brunettes”.

The groom confessed: "Normally, like my ex-partners have been like dark hair. I normally go with girls that I think ‘Oh my God you’re unreal’. Unreal brunettes."

Adam has been single for the last 15 months, after his last relationship ended when they grew apart.

He said that he’s never been in love before or met someone that he sees a future with.
