Married at First Sight star Kieran has defended his ex-wife Kristina after claiming 'she's been made' out as something she isn't.
Fans of the Channel 4 show were 'sobbing' as they watched Kieran and Kristina part ways in the the final reunion ceremony of the series.
After three months on one of the most unique 'experiments' on TV, the pair were joined by experts Paul C Brunson, Mel Schilling and Charlene Douglas to reflect on their marriage.

There wasn't a shortage of tears as the former couple opened up about what went wrong - more specifically why Kieran didn't want to be in the relationship.
When Paul asked the two why it didn't work out, Kristina responded: "Kieran didn't want me."
Tears streaming, Kieran explained: "One of the reasons was because of how much Kristina relies on a partner.
"I've been there before and it's a trigger. I haven't got the mental capacity to console you because sometimes I don't even have it for myself."
However, some viewers believed that Kristina came across as 'needy' during the episode, so Kieran has now spoken out to defend his ex-wife.
Taking to Instagram, he wrote: "@Kristinagoodsell is not as needy as she's been made out in the final edit tonight... she had her sh*t together, to the point where I didn't even know her PMDD (Premenstrual dysphoric disorder) was in play.
"Please remember this whole experiment as amazing as it was, is highly edited."
During the episode, Kristina noted how she had bought two tickets to a festival prior to coming on the show, in the hopes that she could take her newly-found husband.
Fans were dying to know if, despite their differences, they went for the fun weekend after all - and Kieran spilled the beans.
The star said: "Unfortunately not. Kristina actually had the whole weekend planned out, which I took time off work and was going to.
"However we were both advised that it would not have been wise to been seen together whilst the show was airing."
At the end of the emotional scene, the two agreed to be friends after it was revealed that Kieran had briefly dated another woman since they parted ways.
Talking about how it had affected her, Kristina said: "I didn't take it well. To hear so casually that he had been dating someone made me think, 'what did it mean to him?'
"Because it meant to absolute world to me."
