If you’ve been missing a bit of Married At First Sight on your telly box then you’re in luck as not only is the latest series of Married At First Sight Australia expected to air in the UK next month, but some of the brides and grooms of Married At First Sight UK 2024 are also reuniting on screen for one last dinner party.
The highly-anticipated reunion will also feature a number of Married At First Sight UK 2023 stars, but one recent MAFS UK bride who won’t be returning is Charlie Curtis – who was matched with Eve Reid by the show’s experts last year – as she’s revealed show bosses didn’t invite her back.
Charlie admitted she’d been ‘really upset’ after producers told her she wouldn’t be appearing on the reunion episode as she was ‘boring’.
‘I wasn't invited. It really upset me, I was so upset when they told me I wasn't going though. I felt so disheartened,’ she told MailOnline.
Charlie and Eve’s turbulent relationship played out on the E4 show, with some viewers accusing Eve of ‘mentally torturing’ and ‘gaslighting’ Charlie.
However, most of the brides on the show sided with Eve without knowing what truly happened between them.
Charlie has since made friends with her female cast members and admitted she’s disappointed she didn’t get to show this at the reunion.
She continued, ‘To go back with the girls when I'm friends with them now, no one saw any of us being friends on screen.
‘And loads of people bought into that, why do the girls not like me... So many apologies have been said and I have just never been able to talk about that ever.
‘It is frustrating, as I keep saying, everything happens for a reason.'
Charlie, who is now in a new relationship, also revealed that she only found out about the reunion when her co-stars discussed it in a group chat and thought that her invite ‘must have got lost’.
She said ‘Then I got a call from CPL [production company] and they said my story is over so like there's nothing to follow.
‘They asked me, “who do you talk to? Is there any charm you have with anybody?” I said, “no, I'm boring aren't I?”
‘So they didn't invite me, so I was like, "cool." I should have just lied for the extra air time. Damn.’
