Married at First Sight UK star Rozz Darlington has shared a lengthy statement after ending her marriage to Thomas Kriaras.

This series of MAFS has had plenty of drama and we've been promised plenty more to come, but the breakdown of Rozz and Thomas' relationship came as a shock to many.

The florist from Crewe, 28, told her husband, 27, that she was questioning whether she was ready to be married after returning back to ‘real life’.

The estranged couple started off rocky after Rozz admitted that she didn’t find the Investment Communications worker from Wiltshire attractive.

However, after working on their connection and experimenting in the bedroom, Rozz and Thomas became one of the strongest couples in the experiment.

However, fans watched this week as their relationship hit a hurdle.

While sitting opposite each other at the kitchen table, Rozz said: "Over the past few days, something doesn't feel right. I feel like I've come home and my heart's just not in it.

"I just feel that now I'm back to reality I'm just stuck, I'm just spiralling down, I'm just like, 'Look am I ready for a relationship?' Maybe not."

Thomas looked heartbroken, and said: "Thing is, I'm not asking for much. I think there is something here.

"You wouldn't have made it this far if you didn't see it yourself."

"Obviously, I did have feelings" she argued.

"Did? Sorry is that past tense?" he asked.

Thomas and Rozz have decided to end their marriage.

Rozz replied: "Obviously in the apartments, we did grow something. We were working, I just feel like now that I've come back to my life - how hectic it is, how sociable it is, how demanding it is, and it's made me realise that this world I'm living and reality is totally different from the apartments.

“And I've just been like, the car's going at full speed and I just want to put the break on and jump out.”

Thomas replied: “You need to make a decision whether you want to keep going, you want to keep trying, or you want to say I'm not ready.”

Thomas and Rozz ultimately decided to end their marriage and go their separate ways.

On Monday (6 November) after the tense episode aired, Rozz shared a long statement about the end of her relationship with Thomas.

She said her home felt ‘haunted’ by her past relationship and she felt ‘broken’ during the time she spent there with Thomas. She apologised to Thomas and spoke candidly about her feelings while filming that portion of the show.

Thomas and Rozz had a rocky start but become a strong couple.

“It was truly the saddest time,” her statement on Instagram began. “I think coming back to reality and popping the MAFS bubble was so hard. Seeing photos of Tango and her box of ashes, the house was haunted of my past and I truly couldn’t cope.

"I think all of my insecurities were bare and I really couldn’t face the thought of filming. The camera crew. Poor Thomas.

“I was so fragile, I felt broken, I was exhausted and truly wanted to go and hide under a rock. I was scared, triggered and overwhelmed with life.

"At this point, did I realise being home I couldn’t and wouldn’t not carry on being honest with Tom… I thought being home would give me comfort when really all I was faced with was betrayal. Abandonment and lack of trust from my previous relationship and no matter what, I couldn’t shake it off.

“I lay in bed thinking am I ruining something good… why are my priorities like this… this isn’t fair on Tom… is Thomas feeling OK… I need to tell him how homestay is making me feel… I can’t cope anymore… am I broken… will I ever be undamaged goods… am I worthy of being in a relationship? My mind was in overdrive!”

Rozz and Thomas became fan favourites.

In response to those who may question if she was ready for MAFS, she defended herself and said: “I wanted married I really did.”

She said Thomas was ‘the best husband’ and added: “Maybe when you give so much positivity to others you forget to care for yourself.

“If you don’t try will you ever know? Who knew bringing a man into my house would affect me so much?

"It’s not Tom who I shouldn’t trust, but when you have been burnt in a previous relationship it hurts. Can we predict how we will react and feel? I’m the most honest person and if I could I would. I told Tom as soon as I felt this way.”

In a follow-up post, Rozz continued her statement claiming she ‘cried all my homestay’ and had ‘uncontrollable shakes’ while filming it.

“I couldn’t sleep, I just wanted the comfort of my family,” she said. “I had to go back to London to film the commitment ceremony. I was just having panics. I stayed in my apartment talking to welfare. I was so triggered. People mask this with being smiley but the truth is when faced with reality, you really can’t hide.

“I cried for Tom. I cried for me. I cried for the experiment. I cried because I felt guilty for taking someone’s space on the show.”

Rozz continued: “All I can say is I’m sorry Thomas.”

She also said she will continue to apologise to him and called Thomas an ‘amazing person with the kindest heart’ and said she hoped he could find happiness.

“I will always be your biggest cheerleader,” she added. “I know we have a special friendship that will truly last forever no matter what anyone says. I’m honoured to have been partnered with you.”
