MAFS Star Josh Breaks Silence On Morag Messages

We don’t have too long of Married At First Sight left, but the drama hasn’t stopped coming.

One of the biggest rows on the show is between Morag and Josh, with the pair coming to blows in the very final dinner party.

Watch the video below.

For those of us who’ve missed it, Morag told Amy that she knew Josh from before the experiment – he had previously followed her on Instagram, slid into her DM’s and liked a number of her photos.

Josh denied the whole thing, and the pair had a bitter argument over dinner where Morag accused Josh of still being ‘a player’.

Now, Josh has broken his silence about the row, reasserting his position that he has never messaged Morag.

“I was backed up into a corner and I thought I have been brought into something, now I'm going to have to defend myself,” he told Express.co.uk.

"For me, the most frustrating thing was that I didn't choose to be in that position, I was brought into it.

“From the moment you realised that, why did you not mention it or if you thought it was going to be a problem, why bring it up?

"When it did get brought up and it escalated, why then say it doesn't need to be this much of a problem?

"At that point, I just didn't understand why all that shade was being brought over my way. I can honestly say I did not DM Morag and there was no back and forth messages between us.

“There is no recollection of anything.”

While things became heated, Morag then apologised to Josh, who has since vented about being portrayed on MAFS as a lothario.

“From the beginning, I was introduced as some sort of lad,” he said.

"I am a lad, but that doesn't mean to say I'm a f***boy. Up until what happened with Morag there was some sort of stick about me being not interested and a slow burner.

"In fact, it was just a matter of us [Josh and Amy] approaching the process at two different paces, and her being at a different stage in her life.

"It's quite easy to then point the finger at somebody who is half good looking, young, and say they are a lad with no evidence."

So…guess that’s cleared up then?
