Meet Stephen Nolson from Married at First Sight: Fitness coach enters the MAFS UK experiment as third intruder
MARRIED at First Sight season 9 is in full swing, and fans are getting treated to THREE new couples.
It’s now Stephen Nolson’s turn to say “I do” to a stranger, after being married before.
Every year Married At First Sight welcomes new intruder couples around halfway through the series, who enter the experiment to liven up the show.
For 2024, there are THREE new couples, and one of the new grooms is Stephen Nolson.
The 33-year-old is a medical technology technician from Berkshire.
Stephen – who is divorced – said in his introduction video that he comes with “no red flags”.
Married before
This is Stephen’s second time walking down the aisle as he has been married once before.
He wed his first wife when he was just 18-years-old.
At the time Stephen became a Mormon due to his former bride being a member of the Mormon Church.
However, aged 25, the couple split and he decided that this way of life wasn’t for him, so he no longer a Mormon.
Talking about his past and what he wants from the future, Stephen told the Metro: “I was young.
“I’d like to understand who I am as a partner now I’m 33, and what I can bring to a relationship now that’s maybe different to back then. ”
He added: “I hope to learn about myself on a deeper level.”
Stephen is also a devoted dad to four children.
Stephen’s perfect woman
Stephen is now hoping to find his perfect match on MAFS.
He said he wanted someone “kind, spicy and feisty… with nice teeth”.
Looks are very important to Stephen, commenting on this he said: “Absolutely they are, but attraction can grow.
“They have to be a good and kind person above everything.
“Someone caring, loyal, affectionate and kind.
“Someone strong enough I can leave in a room full of high-energy family and friends and can hold her own!”
Stephen’s bride-to-be
Along with the new grooms, the new brides have also been revealed.
Stephen is set to marry fitness business owner Hannah Norburn, 33, from Cheshire.
A source told The Sun: “Hannah is wild – she comes in like a wrecking ball and will shake up the show.”
In a sneak peek to their wedding, the pair are seen instantly hitting it off, with the smitten bride telling her new husband that “he’s really cute”.
But at the wedding reception, Stephen drops a huge bombshell telling her that he is father to four children.
“I’ve got four children,” he confesses.
Hannah is gobsmacked and exclaims: “FOUR!”

Barry Hearn hints at major pay boots for Ronnie O’Sullivan and Co with radical change to World Snooker Championships
MATCHROOM kingpin Barry Hearn has suggested the Snooker World Championships could be on the move – and it could be good news for players’ wallets.
The 76-year-old sent a warning to Sheffield Council after dubbing the iconic Crucible “not fit for purpose.”
Hearn launched Matchroom in 1982 and has helped propel snooker into the mainstream.
The Crucible has hosted the Worlds every year since 1977, but only has a capacity for 980 spectators.
Hearn is desperate to upgrade the venue and has given Sheffield Council “three years” to sort the situation, with the Crucible’s current contract up in 2027.
On his podcast The Barry Hearn Show, the 76-year-old mooted the idea of a radical new direction for the tournament.
Hearn said: “We currently have a World Championship in England. And I stress the word world.
“Because there’s part of me that says, what I should be doing now with snooker is taking it all around the world.
“So perhaps there should be one year in Sheffield, one year in Saudi, one year in Beijing. And so on.”
Hearn indicated his preferred option was “to stay at the Crucible.”

But he went on to warn: “I will move.
“Show me the love back. So I’ve stayed in an 850-seat arena for 40 years, knowing I can sell 4-5000 seats a day. It’s a lot of money [to give away].”
Hearn went on to claim he could raise players’ prize money to “£5-10 million” by selling more tickets.
He continued: “The Crucible is not fit for purpose.
“When you go backstage, today’s audience wants different things. They want better hospitality. They want more space.
“The players want more things. They want more practice room. They want extra tables. The press and the media want to have more, the list goes on.
“The hardliners say ‘I’ve been here since I was a boy.
“I was here with my grandad who’s long since passed’, I’m sympathetic to that. The Crucible made me.
“I want to stay in Sheffield, and I’ve told the Sheffield City Council numerous occasions over the last few years. They have three more years.”
Huge rule change affecting 250,000 drivers will hit in days – everything you need to know to avoid fine
A HUGE rule change affecting more than 250,000 drivers will hit in days.
From October 28, HGV drivers in London will need to follow a range of new safety rules to avoid big fines.
HGVs will now be given a Direct Vision Standard score based on how well the driver can see from their cab without mirrors or cameras.
The DVS measures the exact volume of space an HGV driver can see directly through their cab windscreen.
All HGVs in London will be given a DVS star rating between zero and five.
A rating of zero means drivers can see very little through their cab windows.
But a rating of five means they have an excellent view of everything going on around them.
To achieve even a one-star rating, HGV drivers must be able to see the head and shoulders of 99% of adults from the front and side.
And to operate in London, HGVs over 12 tonnes will need at least a three-star rating.
If they cannot achieve this, HGVs must be fitted with up-to-date safety features known as the Progressive Safe System (PSS).
The PSS requires top-grade mirrors or monitoring system, a nearside camera, side sensors and blind spot systems, and audio warning units.
Transport for London said there will be a three-month grace period starting on October 28 for HGV drivers to adjust.
Around 268,000 people worked as HGV drivers between June 2020 and June 2021.
Progressive Safe System rules
ANY HGV over 12 tonnes with a DSV rating of two stars or lower must have:
- Class V and VI mirrors, or an ECE R46 approved monitoring system (CMS), or a combination of both.
- A nearside camera to completely eliminate the nearside blind spot.
- Side sensors to ensure full coverage down the nearside of the cab and trailer (but which are not triggered by roadside furniture or stationary vehicles).
- Moving Off Information Systems (MOIS) fitted to the front of vehicles to prevent frontal blind spot collisions when moving off.
- Audio warning units to allow the HGV to warn other road users of intended manoeuvres.
