MAFS UK's Peggy and Georges announce they've split 💔
It's all over!
They were one of the only couples from the 2023 series of Married At First Sight UK to remain together following the experiment last year, but it looks like things are all over for Peggy Rose Lawrence and Georges Bert!
Taking to her Instagram Story on Valentine's Day, Peggy confirmed the pair have called time on their relationship, saying: 'I'm so sorry I've been quiet on socials everybody but there's been a reason for my silence.
'Me and Georges are no longer together and I'm absolutely heartbroken.
'It's affected my mental health and it's taken me weeks to come to terms with it but with it being Valentine's Day, I can't pretend to be OK. Thank you to everyone that has supported us and our journey... nobody is more upset about it that me'. (sic)
Following Peggy's statement, Georges has now taken to his own page, admitting he wasn't expecting Peggy to announce the news.
He wrote: 'Wasn't expecting a statement from Peggy regarding the situation. I'm heart broken by our breakup and also trying to come to terms with life without Peggy. I appreciate a lot of you have questions but I won't be talking about this situation as of yet.
'Also thank you for the messages of support'. (sic)
Just weeks ago, Georges spoke to our friends over at Closer Magazine, where he seemingly confessed huge plans for the future with Peggy.
He said at the time: "The plan is to have children.
"Obviously we've got to stay together, move in together and get engaged. She lives at home, I live at mine. I'd have her move in with me, but she has so much stuff."

The pair also got intimate on the trip, before returning to the UK very happy.

The experts matched together 32-year-old Peggy from Kent and 30-year-old Georges from Surrey. The pair got off to a good start at the alter, with Peggy admitting that Georges was 100% her type. However, things got a little tense during the reception, when Peggy's sister was less than impressed.

Despite getting emotional and admitting the process is the hardest thing she's ever had to do, both Peggy and Georges chose to remain in the experiment.
Georges' nerves were clear heading in to Friends and Family Week, with the 30-year-old nervous to face Peggy's sister once more. It's fair to say that he got a grilling from Peggy's sister and mum, with things taking an even more awkward turn when Peggy brought up a rather X-rated topic concerning Georges. Despite concerns whether Peggy finds him attractive, the pair chose to stay during the commitment ceremony.
Love/Hate week brought some major problems for Peggy and Georges, after Peggy couldn't see past the online requests Georges' gets during gaming.

During the penultimate commitment ceremony, Peggy chose to leave the experiment after revealing she couldn't take anymore, admitting she doesn't think Georges listens to her. However, after Georges chose to stay, Peggy agreed to stay for another week, giving Georges once last chance to save their relationship.

The pair both got emotional about the situation at the reunion dinner party, but it looks like they didn't rekindle their romance and have stayed as friends.
Arthur and Laura - SPLIT
The experts chose to match 34-year-old Tennis Coach Arthur with 34-year-old Finance Manager Laura during the opening episode. Things didn't get off to the best start at the altar, with Laura admitting Arthur wasn't her usual 'Chelsea boy' type, but that didn't stop him saying the 'L word' in his vows.

During the first commitment ceremony, Arthur opened up about his past and made himself vulnerable, leading to both of them choosing to stay in the experiment for another week.
Arthur didn't feature during confessions week due to illness, meaning Laura attended the second dinner party and second commitment ceremony alone. Despite this, she was quick to reveal things were good between the pair, with Arthur even giving the experts a letter to read out to her during the commitment ceremony. Both chose to stay another week.
After Arthur returned, the pair confessed they were enjoying spending time together and have become more intimate. During the third commitment ceremony, they both chose to stay another week.

During the commitment ceremony, Laura confirmed things were going well, with the pair deciding to stay.
Although things between them were going well, the Laura and Arthur faced some issues during the couple's retreat, with many of the cast accusing Laura of treating Arthur like her child.

Despite the views of others, Arthur and Laura seemed stronger than ever, with the pair growing closer by the week. During the penultimate commitment ceremony, the couple chose to stay.
Home Stays week saw more tension rise for Arthur and Laura, with Laura's friends even getting into an argument with her husband. Although the drama wasn't what the pair needed, they did decide to both stay during the final commitment ceremony.
Are Arthur and Laura still together?
During the final vow ceremony, Arthur's vows certainly made up for his wedding day vows, with the tennis coach admitting he was ready to make things work with Laura outside of the experiment. HOWEVER, Laura delivered a huge blow during her vows, when she ended the relationship, telling Arthur he's made her realise what she didn't want in a marriage. Admitting he was 'gutted', Arthur left the experiment a single man.
Despite the awkward dumping, the pair seemed civil during the reunion show.
Adrienne and Matt - SPLIT
Despite arriving half-way into the experiment, 29-year-old Matt and 26-year-old Adrienne got off to a great start, immediately having a connection on their wedding day. The pair, who are both into fitness and going to the gym, seemed very happy with their match!
Things seemed to be going well for the couple as they jetted to Tenerife on their honeymoon - until Matt branded Adrienne a 'show off'. Upset by her husband's remarks, the pair's holiday went through a rocky patch. As the dinner party came around, however, the pair seemed to have patched things up. They then couldn't have looked happier during their first commitment ceremony, which saw them both choosing to stay in the experiment.

Despite admitting she thought she'd feel something in her heart after being intimate, Rozz admitted she didn't currently have any feelings. However, after a chat with the experts, both chose to stay to work on their relationship.
During Confessions Week, things were still awkward between Thomas and Rozz, with Rozz admitting to the experts she didn't know if she needed more time, or if she just wasn't feeling things with Thomas.

Brad and Shona - SPLIT
31-year-old performing arts teacher Shona was matched with 27-year-old model Brad by the experts, and on first impression, this is a match made in heaven! Both very spiritual, these two hit it off from the moment they locked eyes on each other, with Brad openly telling Shona he is a dad to a young boy. After a successful wedding and reception, where their families also approved, fans have high hopes!
Things continued to go very well as the pair jetted off to the Maldives on their honeymoon. After spending a week together and being very intimate with each other, Brad confessed he was 'falling in love' with Shona. Then, as they attended the first dinner party, the pair couldn't keep their hands off each other, admitting to the cast that they are 'in love'.
During the first commitment ceremony, the pair confessed to the experts that they do both fall in love fast, but confirmed they definitely do love each other, both choosing to stay.
Cracks started to appear in Brad and Shona's relationship during confessions week, when Brad called his wife immature, childish and naive, leading viewers to accuse him of 'love bombing' her. Things took another bad turn during the second dinner party, when the other couples dubbed the pair the least genuine, leading Shona to get upset, much to Brad's annoyance. Despite this, the pair both chose to stay for another week in the experiment.
During the third commitment ceremony, the experts told the group that Brad and Shona had hit a 'difficult moment' in their marriage, and revealed they wouldn't be joining them. Charlene confirmed the experts would be catching up with the pair separately.

Sean and Mark - SPLIT
The final wedding of the series saw 31-year-old Sean and 36-year-old Mark get married.

Things appeared to be on the up as the pair headed to Lapland on their honeymoon. Sharing some kisses throughout the honeymoon, Mark thanked Sean for his care and effort.

Terence and Porscha - SPLIT
The experts chose to match 36-year-old Porscha with 40-year-old Terence, with their wedding airing on Monday 25th September. Despite an initial physical attraction, it was quick to come to light that the pair had different lifestyles, with Terence working in the clubs as a DJ, and Porscha being more of a home bird. However, the pair did have the same views on a number of things, and they both have children, so let's see how their honeymoon plays out.
When they headed off to a luxury villa in Morocco for their honeymoon, things took another bad turn, with the pair getting into a big argumenta over dinner after Terence admitted he'd cheated on previous partners.
During the first dinner party, Terence and Porscha showed up separately, with another huge argument in front of the group after Terence refused to greet his bride. The couple then looked distanced on the sofa during the first commitment ceremony, with both Terrence and Porscha venting their frustrations to the experts. After taking advice from the experts, the pair apologised to each other, but Terence chose to leave. However, after Porscha chose to stay, the pair will have to try and fix their relationship.
In a huge turnaround, after Terence and Porscha moved in together and took part in confessions week, the pair grew closer and were like a different couple during the second commitment ceremony, with both choosing to stay for another week.
However, things took a sour turn when Porscha kissed other grooms during a playful game of spin the bottle. Although Porscha chose to stay another week, Terence left everybody in shock by choosing to leave, admitting he could no longer handle the drama. Porscha admitted his decision was a 'massive shock', saying she thought 'they were great'. Although she said she wasn't going to change her decision, Terence was adamant he was leaving the show, meaning the couple's journey came to an abrupt end.
Are Terence and Porscha still together?
The pair didn't stay together after leaving the experiment and it's safe to say things were very awkward between the pair at the reunion.
Nathanial and Ella - SPLIT
Pansexual contestant Nathanial was paired with the show's first ever transgender bride Ella during the second episode of the new series. Despite 29-year-old Ella being worried Nathanial might reject her, the pair had an instant connection, and looked like they'd been together years on their wedding day!
However, as the pair jetted off to Mexico on their honeymoon, things quickly took a bad turn, with the two embroiled in a number of arguments. Nathanial called Ella a "liar" and accused her of showing off around other people. Ella tried to work things out, inviting him to dinner, but the events planner chose to stay in his room and eat a pizza alone.
After Ella apologised as they moved in together, the pair attended the first dinner party hand-in-hand, with Nathanial being supportive of Ella as she told the group she was transgender. Despite a rocky start to their first commitment ceremony, where they discussed the drama on the honeymoon and aired out their true feelings with each other, the couple both chose to stay, admitting they were keen to get to know each other more.
Nathanial and Ella had more issues during confessions week, when Nathanial admitted he thought Ella was immature. Despite Ella emotionally walking out of the second commitment ceremony, Nathanial went after his wife and reassured her they were in it together, with both deciding to stay in the experiment for another week.
The pair enjoyed another week after 'letting go', but Ella continued to express her worries at being 'friend zoned' by Nathanial during the third commitment ceremony. Despite this, Ella did confess she can see herself growing, leading both Ella and Nathanial to stay another week.
It's fair to say Friends and Family Week was nothing short of dramatic for the pair. Following the revelation that Ella and cast mate JJ would like to 'kiss' each other, Nathanial wasn't happy with this news, and was further enraged when he found out Ella had been texting JJ - with them even meeting up. After an explosive dinner party, Nathanial branded Ella a "liar", and feeling "fed up", he stormed out and left the experiment.
Following Nathanial's exit, Ella attended the commitment ceremony alone, where things kicked off again when Bianca wasn't happy with her level of apology. Ella later confirmed to the experts that she did want to get to know JJ further.
Are Ella and Nathanial still together?
Nope! Ella actually re-entered the experiment with fellow groom JJ. Nathanial decided not to attend the reunion.
Bianca and JJ - SPLIT
29-year-old Bianca and 30-year-old JJ were the first of the late arrivals to be matched by the experts! After JJ admitted he was ready to settle down, it wasn't quite love at first sight for the Essex boy, with him even admitting to his new wife on the wedding day that he'd previously dated a Victoria Secret Model.
The pair headed off to Mauritius on their honeymoon, and despite Bianca wanting more from her husband, JJ had his reservations, leaving his wife incredibly frustrated. Following an argument, Bianca and JJ spent their final day apart, before meeting up later in the evening for dinner, where Bianca asked her husband if he fancied her. JJ was honest in his answer, admitting Bianca isn't the type he usually goes for, and revealed again that he wants to take things at a slow pace.
During the couple's first meeting with the experts at the commitment ceremony, JJ once again brought up the fact Bianca isn't the usual type of girl he goes for, with Bianca admitting to the experts that she thinks JJ is moving too slow, worrying she is going to 'check out' and 'shut it down' as a friendship. Despite this, the pair both chose to stay and take on the feedback.
Things took a sour turn the next week, following the revelation that JJ had a 'connection' with bride Ella. After exchanging text messages, he and Ella enjoyed a flirty meet up - with JJ and Bianca staying in separate apartments at the time. After arriving to the dinner party separately, the news of his flirting was outed, and it's fair to say a distraught Bianca was rather angry with her husband, who was forced to admit his feelings to the group.
Despite the drama at the dinner party, Bianca and JJ showed up to the commitment ceremony together. Whilst speaking to the experts, Bianca expressed how she felt JJ never gave their relationship a chance, before saying she was "done". To the shock of nobody, both JJ and Bianca left the experiment.
Are Bianca and JJ still together?
They aren't. After their abrupt departure from the show, JJ re-entered the experiment with fellow bride Ella. During the reunion show, JJ chose to apologise to Bianca for his actions, but she didn't really accept it!
It's fair to say Peggy and Georges didn't have the easiest of rides during the MAFS UK experiment, with many fans shocked to see the pair stay together during the final vow ceremony.
However, since filming ended last year and the show stopped airing in November, Peggy and Georges have been seriously loved-up, with the pair enjoying a number of romantic holidays together.
But things are all over now! 💔
