Married at First Sight's Thomas Hartley has been supported by fans as he issued a powerful message.
The reality TV star had been coupled up with Adrian Sanderson on the latest season of the popular programme. The Scouse pair got off to a difficult start as they jetted off to Mexico for their honeymoon.
The two overcame their rocky start and decided to stay together in the final commitment ceremony of the series. However, questions remained over whether there was a romantic spark in their relationship.

The final dinner party took place on Tuesday's episode and Thomas was upset as he spotted the romantic connection between the other couples at the table. This prompted the two to have a tearful heart to heart and they decided they will not take their final vows.
Viewers of the show fell in love with the Scouse pair's relationship and said they hoped they will remain friends after the show as they had such a strong bond. Thomas has previously opened up on how he was in an abusive relationship prior to appearing on the show.
He was supported by fans earlier this week when he took to Instagram to issue a powerful message to mark Mental Health Awareness Day. Thomas shared snaps of when he had just "escaped" the "abusive relationship" alongside a picture of him now.
He said: "If you haven’t read my story, on the left I had just escaped a very abusive and drug and alcohol fuelled relationship.
He added: "I have always suffered with an element of mental health as most people have. I incorporated the gym and even though I made a physical change, I also use the gym and exercise as medicine.
"If you can, do it. Don’t give up. Always speak." Fans flooded the comment to praise Thomas after the update.
Rachel said: "Thomas you look awesome. Been following your stories and journey and I think you’re an amazing person!! I love watching you and I think you’re so straight to the point and that’s what I love about you!"
Lauren added: "Well done @thomashartleyofficial what a transformation!"
Julie commented: "You look absolutely phenomenal not to mention happy, so brave sharing your story x"
Julie posted: "Wow, you are a star stay strong my lovely."
