New Married At First Sight feud as show couple have bitter bust-up after off-camera split
A NEW Married At First Sight feud has been revealed after a show couple had a bitter bust-up after their off-camera split.
This year’s series of the E4 programme has come to an end, and it seems like a lot of the marriages have too.
Sacha Jones and Ross McCarthy, Polly Sellman and Adam Nightingale, Lacey Martin and Nathan Campbell and Amy Victoria and Luke Debono all made it to the final vows ceremony.
Last week The Sun exclusively revealed that the ‘strongest’ couple Lacey and Nathan SPLIT off camera just weeks after filming ended.
Now it appears that things have turned sour between the exes.
A source said: “It was revealed last week that Nathan and Lacey split after filming, but now they’ve watched the show back on TV they’ve had a series of bitter rows and have now blocked each other.
“It doesn’t look like there is any going back for them and there is no love lost between them right now.
“They aren’t speaking and just want to move on.”
E4 have been approached for comment.
The pair appeared to go from strength to strength on the show.
At the end of the series they even admitted that they had fallen in love with one another.
But last week a source told The Sun: “Nathan and Lacey really tried to make their relationship work in the real world but it just fizzled after a while.
“The final vows were filmed in February and they were still going strong in April when the reunion was shot, but since then they have called in quits.
“They were both sad it didn’t work out, but sadly it wasn’t meant to be.
“It’s also a big blow for fans who were really invested in their relationship.
“They were widely viewed as the strongest couple of the series so the news that they are no longer an item is such a shame.”
Mafs couples that have stood the test of time
Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.
The pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam’s Doncaster home.
Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.
Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.
Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: “I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out – and excited for everything to come.”
Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.
Owen recalled: “I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.
“While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.
“The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if I signed up?’
“A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.”
Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.
Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna’s vegan lifestyle, the show’s first same sex pairing are still going strong.
They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.
Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: “We’re not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship.”
Earlier this month Lacey revealed she was rushed to medics on the E4 show set – which wasn’t shown on TV.
She recently took part in a Q&A on Instagram and asked what the most “shocking” thing that happened on set.
Lacey confessed: “Not much shocking things really, but regarding myself, I fainted on set!!
“But all the crew/production looked after me!”
