Married At First Sight UK’s Morag Crichton has hit out at former husband Luke Dawson and claimed that he ‘fakes his nice guy image’.

Despite having a rocky relationship, fans of the show saw the pair remain together following their final vow renewal and were SHOCKED when they came to blows during the reunion show.

Morag and Luke both attended the reunion separately and Morag claimed that he had ‘ghosted’ her in the weeks after the show. Luke also sensationally claimed that Morag had told him during the process that ‘she doesn’t see us in a relationship’ and hinted her vow renewal performance was 'for the TV show'.

Even though the pair agreed to try and be civil despite their relationship crumbling, Morag has now revealed that: ‘Nice guys that sit there and say they're nice guys aren't always nice guys.’

Speaking to MailOnline, Morag shared some secrets of what REALLY happened when the reunion show wrapped: "I was so shocked by the man that was at the reunion, I didn't know who that person was. He switched and he even said he lied about saying he loved me, and nobody picked up on that.

"Everyone still thought he was this nice guy, and I was like he must be joking? I was shocked."

She continued: "He sat there and said I'm not genuine but then he said he didn't actually love me anyway; I was like hang on a minute. Everyone believes he's this nice guy and he can't do anything wrong.

"It was inevitable that Luke and I were going to breakup but that's not what I wanted. I wanted it to work, and I was serious when I was doing my final vows. That was our best week ever, we were stronger than ever, and I was genuinely gutted."

Check out which Married At First Sight UK couples are still together:

Adam and Tayah - MARRIED

Adam and Tayah proved love at first sight most definitely IS a thing! These two immediately hit it off on their wedding day, with the pair even saying the L word on their honeymoon.


After zero issues throughout the process, viewers were over the moon when Adam proposed to Tayah for real during their final vow renewal.


Since the final episode, Adam and Tayah have been very loved-up on socials, and the couple welcomed their first child together in October 2022, a baby girl called Beau Emily Aveling. The pair got married for real during a festive ceremony in December 2023, and one year later they announced they are expecting their second baby!

Daniel and Matt - SPLIT

Despite seemingly falling for each other very quickly, Daniel and Matt had their struggles due to Matt living in Leeds and Daniel being from Northern Ireland. The pair remained together during the final vow renewal, and appeared seriously loved-up on social media, even looking to move in together in 2022.


Sadly, Matt and Dan took to their socials in December 2022 to reveal that they had split, admitting that they were better as friends, and that the split was amicable. In November 2024, the pair reunited at an official MAFS party, showing they are still good friends!

Luke and Morag - SPLIT

It's safe to say Luke and Morag didn't get off to the best start during the MAFS process. After Morag confessed she didn't find her husband attractive, the couple struggled with intimacy.


However, by the end of the process, Luke and Morag had seemingly found a spark, with the pair choosing to stay together during the final vow renewal.


Despite this, the pair confirmed during the reunion show they'd split up, with Morag admitting Luke hadn't phoned her since the process ended. However, Luke later said it was because Morag still didn't care for him.

Marilyse and Franky - SPLIT

These two shocked viewers during the final vow renewal when they revealed their true feelings for each other, with Franky even admitting he was ready to move back to the UK from Dubai.


Franky later gushed about his girl on social media, admitting he'd moved to the same town as Marilyse and met her children.


However, on Friday 8th October, the pair both released statements confirmed they'd split. They remain good friends.

Josh and Amy - SPLIT

There's no denying the fact that Josh and Amy had a whirlwind experience during the MAFS experiment. After the pair had initial doubts over their age-gap, the couple experienced a number of fiery arguments and disagreements.


However, by the end of the process the pair seemed closer than ever, with Josh opening up about his feelings towards Amy during the final vow renewal.


The pair have been pretty quiet on social media since the final and during the reunion show they confirmed they are no longer together.

Morag also opened up about having to constantly defend her decision to not have children – something that Luke wanted at the start of the experiment but then changed his mind.

"I am so happy being myself and there's no harm in saying you can be selfish with your life and I like to be able to leave my house when I leave my house and get on a plane when I want to get on a plane," she revealed.

"It's so annoying when I say I don't want children – the amount of people that say 'you'll change your mind' and 'but you're a woman' and yes I am a woman and I can make my own choice. Nobody should be questioning that."
