Married At First Sight UK’s Steven has released a statement containing a huge revelation as he concluded the message by signing himself as “Mr Villain”.
Yesterday evening’s episode (November 2) of Married At First Sight UK was packed with controversy as the couples visited their hometowns in an attempt to bolster their relationships beyond the experiment. Nevertheless, for some participants, revelations emerged about their partnerships.
For Nelly and Steven, circumstances seemed to deteriorate further as Steven declined to accompany Nelly on her journey back to Manchester. Nelly’s relatives were heartbroken for the contestant, but her flatmate Lucy delivered some startling information.

After eventually joining the pair, Steven was confronted with some harsh realities from Lucy, who had been conducting some “research”. Lucy subsequently questioned Steven: “Do you think it’s appropriate to be on a dating website?”
Despite his denials, Lucy exposed a confirmed photograph of him on the Hinge dating app as an astounded Nelly announced: “I think this marriage is over, because I don’t deserve that”, reports OK!
Speaking to producers, she continued: “It’s not adding up, I don’t get it… Steven being on this dating app while we’re still married is cheating. That’s a guilty man. This marriage is well and truly over, I want nothing to do with Steven anymore.”
Steven has been rather outspoken on social media, justifying his behaviour and offering explanations for what was broadcast. However, he has now turned to social media to issue a statement following the damaging episode.
He penned: “The smile of a man who left the experiment after partner swap and still showed up to give the ‘audience’ what they wanted.
“‘Are you not entertained?’ Yeah, that’s right… I refused home stays, because there was nothing romantic there from me. A conversation the ‘ex wife’ knew about as she was sat right next to me when speaking to producers.

“Signing out, Mr Villain.”
One MAFS UK viewer responded: “Was it like this from the start ie from the wedding day or after the honeymoon? It’s such a shame as you both seemed so loved up at the beginning. Why didn’t you both just call it a day soon after rather than going on?”
Another remarked: “Someone needs to be the villain, how boring would an entertainment show be if everyone got along and the fact people don’t realise that still blows my mind.”
One individual observed: “Interesting how none of the other cast members have liked this post.”
Nelly herself has turned to social media since the episode aired, posting a photograph of herself wrapped up like an infant, alongside a placard reading: “Nelly 374 months old loves cheese.”
She accompanied the image with: “Since he thinks I was born yesterday”, whilst support flooded in from followers and fellow participants.
