If you’ve been glued to Married at First Sight UK series 10, you’ll know Reiss Boyce as the Essex lad who walked down the aisle with total stranger Leisha Lightbody. But their fairy-tale start? Far from it. Right from the get-go, Reiss raised eyebrows by complaining that his new bride was “quite loud” and “a little bit over the top” on their wedding day. Ouch! What could have been a match made in heaven quickly turned into a rollercoaster of drama, with the couple navigating rocky waters before finally building a solid connection. Sure, they’re not as head-over-heels as fan-favorites like Davide Anica and Keye Luke, but hey, they’ve stuck it out.
Before his MAFS whirlwind, Reiss wasn’t exactly a stranger to the spotlight—he previously dated TOWIE star Dani Imbert, adding a dash of reality TV flair to his backstory. But now, fresh off his on-screen marriage mishaps, Reiss is flipping the script in the most unexpected way possible. According to reports from OK! and The Sun, the 33-year-old is diving headfirst into the world of adult entertainment… sort of. He’s landed a “naughty” role in the risqué pantomime Sinderella, a far cry from the heartfelt vows and expert matchmaking of E4’s hit show. Talk about cashing in on that newfound fame!
In this cheeky twist on the classic Cinderella tale, Reiss steps into the spotlight as Prince Reiss, on a quest to find his princess amid a whirlwind of innuendos and adult humor. The production kicks off at London’s iconic Scala in the West End on December 19, promising a night packed with classic bangers like Dancing Queen, Electric Dreams, It’s Raining Men, I Will Survive, and Like A Virgin. The official synopsis teases: “Join Cinderella, Prince Donkey D**k, Buttons, and the two Ugly Slappers for a night of pantomime frolics and more!!! Sinderella has no money, no man, and none of the glamorous life she claims to be living. Until one day, she meets Prince Donkey Dick in the woods who invites her to his ball… But who has the biggest balls? Will this be her happy ending or will she lose more than her shoe?”
Scala’s website amps up the hype, guaranteeing “raucous laughter, innuendos, outwinds, and unexpected encounters that will have you begging for more.” Joining Reiss on stage are some familiar faces: Big Brother alum Simon Gross (who’s also producing the show), Kevin Mornas as the hilariously named Prince Donkey D**k, and drag sensation Regina Sparkles as Sinderella herself. Simon spilled to the press: “This year we’re really looking forward to pushing the boundaries to bring you the most memorable and hilarious night out in the heart of London.”
While details on Reiss’s exact antics remain hush-hush, one thing’s for sure—MAFS fans are in for a shock seeing this groom trade therapy sessions for thigh-slapping comedy and saucy shenanigans. From marriage disaster to pantomime prince: is this Reiss’s ultimate redemption arc, or just a clever way to keep the spotlight shining? Either way, it’s a plot twist no one saw coming!
