Paige – who together with Lacey describes themselves as “IVF miracle twins” – was dressed by three style conscious single guys in an attempt to find love.

In a throwback clip on TikTok, they can both be seen on the ITV2 show while wearing some very garish outfits.

Lacey wrote alongside the footage: “SERIES 2 EPISODE 25’ on ITV2. #family #dating #dresstoimpress #whodidipick #itv2 #twins #besties.”

The new series of Married At First Sight UK kicks off tonight (September 16) and Lacey is among the brides who will be walking down the aisle.

She will be seen saying ‘I do’ to a complete stranger in an attempt to find The One after relationship experts Paul C Brunson and Mel Schilling matchmake her with a groom.

It is expected that her twin sister Paige will appear in front of the cameras as her bridesmaid, before giving her verdict on her new husband.

Away from the TV screen, 27-year-old Lacey works as an office manager and she lives in Hertfordshire.

She describes herself as confident, loud and sassy, while insisting that she “brings the fun” to social situations.

Lacey says her “positive and vibrant attitude” has seen her
through ups and downs and has “shaped the person she is
today”.

Despite being a serial dater, the stunning brunette has been single for the past four years, following the end of a 10-year relationship.

After it was revealed she would be on the show, her sister Paige posted online: “Wooooo yassss my incredible amazing twin sister you deserve the world!

“You are my inspiration, I am sooooo proud of you goooooo Lacey gooooo Lacey gooooo Lacey goooo Lacey gooo Lacey!”

But Lacey’s husband-to-be not only need’s her twin sister’s seal of approval, as he also needs to impress their mum.

Speaking to Channel 4 before walking down the aisle, Lacey said she is very much in it for the long-term.

“I’d love to get a husband. I’m thinking long term so husband, babies, travel then move in together,” she said.

She also says she wants to “get rid of all the f*** boys in her life and find someone who will love her for her.

Lacey shared the big news about her being on MAFS on Instagram and said: “The hardest kept secret is out..I said, ‘I Do’ and married a complete stranger.”

The new series of MAFS UK kicks off on Monday, September 16, 2024, at 9pm on E4, and will then air on weekdays except from Fridays.

DEAR DEIDRE: WHEN I finally told my girlfriend the things that had been annoying me about her for months, she said she felt attacked.

It’s because I’ve never been much of a talker. I’m a shy man of 28 and she’s 30. We met online and it took huge courage for me to actually show up for a date.

We now live together and it’s been great but last night, I told her I didn’t like the way that she dumped her shoes, bag and coat in the hall, leaving them there until the next day – then a load of other complaints came spilling out too.

She stood there with her mouth open and I could tell I’d gone too far.

I apologised but told her that I bottle things up, hence me complaining about things that happened months ago. She’s speaking to me now but only just.

How can I express how I feel right away, so that our relationship becomes easier.

DEIDRE SAYS: Your girlfriend won’t feel attacked if you use the word ‘I’ rather than ‘You’. Saying, “I feel upset when…” comes over in a softer way than saying, “You annoy me when…”.

Take your time to express your feelings and think about how it will come across to the recipient.

You could begin by asking whether you could talk about something which is bothering you and then she will be prepared.If you need to practise, find some help through a local counsellor at BACP – British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, (bacp.co.uk, 01455 883300).

DEAR DEIDRE: MY husband loves meeting other women. He flirts and chats with them but never gives me a second look.

We’ve been married for 10 years. He’s 45 and I’m 41. He’s not affectionate towards me these days. I get a peck on the cheek when he goes to work but that’s all. 

We don’t have sex any more but he says it’s because he “has problems”. When we used to have sex, it would be over very quickly for him and I’d get frustrated.

Now if we get invited out anywhere and there are single women around, he gets them a drink and engages with them as if he wants to get their number. I’m fed up.

DEIDRE SAYS: If sex is over quickly for him it’s denting his pride. He’s checking in with other women to build his self-esteem to prove that he’s still attractive.

This is hurtful to you though and you deserve better.

In a quiet moment, explain to him that you want the attention on you and not on other women.

Ask him what you can do to improve your relationship from his point of view and listen carefully to what he has to say.

Tell him how you see your relationship improving, and that you miss the intimacy.

RING has just dropped the next generation of Ring’s best-selling doorbell, now packed with even more features.

The brand-new Ring Battery Video Doorbell is up for grabs today at just £99.99, and it’s easier than ever to set up, with a serious battery upgrade to boot.

Ring Battery Video Doorbell, £99.99

Announced last month, the latest addition to the Ring lineup of video doorbells is packed with welcome upgrades.

The Battery Video Doorbell builds on the success of the 2020 Ring Video Doorbell (2nd Gen) but adds even more enhancements that are sure to make it a new favourite.

The standout features? Head-To-Toe Field of View, a redesigned mounting system, and Colour Night Vision, all at a more budget-friendly price point.

Whether you’re looking to upgrade your home security or invest in a smart doorbell for the first time, this new release is worth a closer look.

We’ve got all the details you need right here, including the scoop on those new features, pricing, and when you can shop for one yourself.

Ring Battery Video Doorbell: Release date

We first got wind of the new Battery Video Doorbell in August, and true to form, the Amazon-owned security brand didn’t keep us waiting too long. 

As of September 4th, it’s officially available to purchase from high-street favourite Currys.

With all the excitement around its new features, we were glad we didn’t have to twiddle your thumbs for too long.

If you’ve been waiting for a video doorbell that’s both affordable and high-performing, now’s your chance to snag one of the top picks out there.

Ring Battery Video Doorbell: Features

The latest model builds on the Video Doorbell (2nd-gen), packing in some standout features.

The one getting tongues wagging is the 150-degree by 150-degree field of view. 

This upgrade is perfect for catching every visitor or keeping tabs on packages, a significant improvement over the previous model’s 150-by-90-degree view.

While this wide-angle feature has been a hallmark of Ring’s premium range, it’s making its debut on its budget doorbell offerings.

It’s not the only inheritance it gains; the new version also comes with Colour Night Vision, which boosts motion detection and delivers clearer footage in low light.

One of the biggest improvements addresses the old model’s cumbersome recharging process. 

Previously, users had to unscrew the doorbell from its mount to recharge it. The new model introduces a clever pushpin mounting system, allowing you to release the doorbell from its mount with a pin easily.

We’re also pleased to see it has been upgraded from a micro-USB port to a USB-C port, aligning it with the new standard. 

Plus, the battery life with, typical settings, has been extended by 23%, so you’ll find yourself charging it less often.

Ring Battery Video Doorbell: Price

While we’ve gained tons of great features and upgrades on the new video doorbell, the price remains unchanged at £99.99, just like its predecessor when it first hit the market. 

Although we haven’t had a chance to test it, this model seems to hit the sweet spot as a solid mid-range choice that Ring’s lineup has been missing.

It offers a perfect blend of affordability and functionality compared to its pricier counterparts, like the Ring Video Doorbell Plus at £129.99 and the high-end Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2 at £219.99.

So if you’re after a reliable and future-proof video doorbell that won’t break the bank, this is one to consider.
