A Married at First Sight UK couple have called it quits after their final vows.
The E4 reality show, which has become one of the most talked-about dating experiments on telly, has kept viewers hooked for ten weeks.
One couple who’ve had a rollercoaster journey throughout the series are Leisha and Reiss.
The bride even found herself in hot water with co-stars Leah and Leigh after she shared a smooch with the latter during a day out with the cast.
Despite their turbulent time on the TV show, the couple made it to the final vows where they had to decide whether to stay together or part ways.
During their final vows, the couple voiced their worries about whether their relationship was robust enough to last, reports OK!.
To add to the drama, Leisha had already confessed her love for Reiss, but he was moving at a slower pace and chose not to reciprocate.
No one expected Reiss to commit to Leisha at the final ceremony, but he shocked everyone by agreeing that their marriage was far from over.
After a moment of uncertainty, they both confirmed that they wanted to continue their marriage beyond the experiment.
However, it seems the couple couldn’t make things work in the real world. During the first part of the eagerly awaited reunion on Thursday (November 13) night, Leisha broke down as she confessed she still loves Reiss.
Just before reuniting with her fellow castmates, Leisha confessed: “When we left the experiment, I was worried that I was more into the marriage than he was but we both worked hard to make it work.”
Reiss explained to the camera: “Since leaving the experiment, Leisha came down to see me and then I went up to Scotland.
“We had some cracking times and she is a beautiful girl inside and out but sadly we couldn’t make things work. I’ve not seen Leisha since it ended.”
An emotional Leisha couldn’t hold back her tears as she admitted: “I am devastated that my married with Reiss hasn’t worked out because I still love Reiss and I think about him everyday.”
She added: “So right now I’m feeling really sad because I really wanted it to work and I put my heart and soul into it and it just wasn’t reciprocated.”
