Last year's series of Married At First Sight UK was easily one of the most explosive ever and a cast member who was right in the thick if it is Luke Worley.

Although he instantly hit it off with his bride Jay Howard, the duo ended up being booted out of the experimentafter Luke's run in with intruder groom, Jordan Gayle.

'I asked him what he wanted and he couldn't answer the question. I would have preferred to try and make it work. I still have feelings for him but it is what it is.'

Despite no longer being a couple, Luke and Jay are still friends and he paid tribute to her in a social media post following the reunion. Luke wrote, 'Going on MAFS wasn’t an easy decision for me and it took a lot of consideration. I knew it wouldn’t be easy but I never thought I would meet someone as unique as @jay_howard. Thank you for accepting me for being me, you made me feel comfortable the second we met.'

He added, 'Thank you for everything Jay, you will always be special to me and I will always be there for you whenever you need me. I’m glad we can be friends because I couldn’t imagine you not being in my life. It’s been an amazing journey that I will never forget.'

What happened between Luke Worley and Jordan Gayle?

When we caught up with Luke before the first episode of MAFS UK 2023 had even aired, he was pretty forthcoming in revealing he didn't get on with all of his castmates.

When asked if he bonded with the rest of the guys, Luke told heat, 'Depends who we’re talking', which is basically a big fat NO. Fellow groom Georges Berthonneau then interjected, 'I personally thought that all the boys got on quite well, bar maybe one,' prompting laughter from Brad Skelly. 'I’m trying to think if there’s a second. Maybe two.'

Luke continued, 'I got on with the majority of the boys. One of the boys I cannot stand and I still can’t stand now. Honestly, can’t stand them.'

It quickly became obvious while watching the show that Luke was referring to intruder groom Jordan Gayle as they never saw eye-to-eye, with the pair frequently bickering at dinner parties and away trips. It all came to a head when Jordan told Jay about Luke's controversial cheating comment, leading Luke to confront Jordan at his apartment and get kicked out of the experiment.

Since their on-screen altercation, Luke and Jordan have both made some scathing comments about each other on social media and there's clearly no love lost between them. In one Instagram video, Luke posted a mocking story of himself doing an impression of Jordan complete with a mop on his head and a football t-shirt.

Luke worked as a sales executive before appearing on MAFS and recently revealed he returned to his old job after the show was over.
