MAFS UK's Sacha reveals blunt text Ross sent to break up with her
Speaking to press for the first time since last week's bombshell 'reunion episode' finally landed, recently-single Married At First Sight UK star Sacha Jones has claimed that on-screen hubby Ross McCarthy unexpectedly ended their romance via text.
Sitting down with OK! Magazine, the Channel 4 fan-favourite also recalled the final days of their relationship, when a fiery spat with Ross prompted her to throw him out of her family home.
Many MAFS UK fans were initially blindsided when Sacha and Ross' split hit headlines last week following a generally smooth-sailing romance.

Okay, sure. They hit a couple of bumps in the road along the way - particularly when they respectively butted-heads with several of their co-stars during heated dinner party confrontations.
But all in all, many viewers believed that the show's resident match-makers deserved praise for making a perfect match in Sacha and Ross.
That was, until last week's final vow renewal ceremony saw Sacha storm off in tears, with many believing they'd endured a falling out over where they'd live once the show came to an end - something brought up several times during the series with dread.
And despite Sacha insisting that something else entirely had set her off that day, and the pair putting on a strong front at the reunion episode that aired last Thursday - filmed in the weeks following the conclusion of the show - Sacha and Ross were soon completely and utterly single.
Only now has Sacha lifted the lid on what prompted the ultimate breakdown of their relationship, claiming she and her friends saw a side to Ross when filming ended that he'd kept hidden from viewers.
"When I think of my time with Ross after the show, it’s just dark. Dark," she began in conversation with OK!.
"I can’t think of one happy memory after the show. It was awful. The last happy memory I have is going to the first reunion together and putting on a strong front."
Speaking about the precise moment their relationship ended, Sacha recalled one previous incident which saw her throwing her Ross out of her family home after his 'anger issues' became too difficult to handle.
And after doing so, she said, Ross allegedly texted her, saying: "We’re done, I’m ending it. Don’t text me again please, take care."
Sacha also said her friends and family had previously urged her to leave Ross - who has since gone Insta-official with a new beau.
"[Friends] said I was constantly zoned out when I saw them. I wasn’t ‘present’," she went on.
"One friend said I looked like a ghost. It was a very dark time. A lot of people in these relationships blame themselves, but I was reassured that no, it’s not me."
The Midlands favourite hasn't yet addressed her Manchester-born ex's new relationship with Cheshire-based girlfriend Magda - which he confirmed on social media last week.
He captioned a video of he and Magda - as she's reportedly known - running along the beach together: "The moment I been waiting for…. The real deal. My world."
