After all the chaos of the latest series of Married At First Sight UK, three couples still remain. Tasha Jay and Paul Liba are still super loved-up and Erica Roberts and Jordan Gayle are also going strong, as are Peggy Rose and Georges Berthonneau.
It’s fair to say that Peggy’s relationship with Georges was one hell of a rollercoaster ride and many viewers were surprised to see them remain an item after the experiment following explosive rows about OnlyFans, Georges’ Twitch streaming and, erm, rimming.
However, the couple appear to have put all the drama behind them and have even recently set up a joint YouTube channel. In their first video, Peggy and Georges opened up about life after the show and admitted it hadn’t been entirely plain sailing.
Peggy and Georges revealed they’d had doubts about if their relationship would work on the outside world after jetting off on separate holidays immediately after the experiment and struggling to communicate with each other.
“You were quite clear at the start like ‘Don’t worry about me, I’m fine we don’t need to talk’ and I was like ‘No I want to talk to you because I like you, I don’t want to not talk to you for a week,’” Georges recalled.
“And then I landed, you flew and obviously it was quite new in our relationship and we were still figuring out how we would communicate. We communicate now on the phone. Peggy wasn’t a texter, she was a caller. And I’ve always been a texter or would leave a voice note.”
He continued, “I was texting her, whereas that’s not how you dealt with things. Obviously, there was a big time difference, Peggy wasn’t sleeping because you were at pool parties and gambling. I was back and I wasn’t working because we’d just finished filming and I just remember feeling very lost. And I was like ‘What’s really going on?’ So I was getting quite frustrated and then that’s when we had disagreements.”
Georges explained that one of his rows with Peggy happened when she misspelled his name in a text message while she was drunk, to which she joked, “When a woman’s got a hump with a man the worst thing you can do is wind her up by correcting her spelling. And I was like ‘Oh no you didn’t!’”
Georges added, “I think that was probably one of the toughest times for us in our relationship where I was like ‘Hmm is this definitely actually going to work on the outside?’” with Peggy admitting they “both felt like that”.
“Alarm bells going off in our heads, question marks, and we were like ‘Is this going to work?’” Georges said. “We’re both very different in so many ways but we do work when we’re together."
Last month, George hit out his 'rodent' co-stars after his relationship with Peggy was branded "fake" by Jordan and Erica.
Jordan told The Sun, "I just don't believe Peggy and Georges as a couple. Most people watching didn't really understand them. I don't understand how, as a couple, they always had a million problems, a million different problems, new problems every week, yet they were still happy enough to stay with each other."
However, George clapped back on Instagram, telling his followers, "Please do not listen to the rodents and please just let actions speak louder than words."
