Married at First Sight UK star says two other couples 'wife-swapped' in unaired scenes

Married at First Sight's Adrian Sanderson reckons two other couples 'wife-swapped' after the show.

Fans were shocked when Matt Murray and Whitney Hughes hooked up after ditching their original partners - but according to Adrian, they weren't the only ones.

The 37-year-old, who was married to Thomas Hartley on the series, was joined by co-stars Sophie Brown, Duka Cav and Chanita Stephenson to answer questions from E4 viewers on Instagram.

One fan asked: "Have there been any more couple swaps since the show?"

Chanita, who split from her TV husband Jordan Emmett-Connelly, quickly said "no", but Adrian replied: "I think that there has been [couple swaps]... There has been."

A shocked Chanita quipped: "Who? You can't just say that," to which Adrian mused: "I thought it was common knowledge so I'm now confused and you're confused or are you all pretending you don't know what I know?"

He continued: "I'm not giving anything away. I didn't know I was the only one who had the tea!"

"Maybe it's not true, I didn't get it from the horse's mouth but this horse is in reverse," Adrian said, appearing to backtrack before he asserted: "There was two that did."

Fans were shocked when Matt and Whitney were allowed to stay on the show as a couple despite being married to other people on the E4 programme.

Matt was married to Gemma Rose while Whitney was hitched to Duka.

Talking about his surprise romance, Matt said: "It would be nice to get the experiment with Whitney and see how that can develop. I'd be absolutely frickin' insane and stupid not to pursue it."

Whitney added: "Matt and I are like fresh, if we could have the help of the experts and find out whether this is something that we should put our lives and our time and our hearts into, that would be amazing."

He was originally paired with Gemma (E4)

The couple were forced to confess their feelings for one another during the commitment ceremony, with Whitney saying she didn't feel she had done anything wrong as Gemma and Matt's relationship was "dead in the water".

Of course the relationship didn't last with Whitney revealing at the reunion it was Matt's insecurities which ultimately lead to them splitting up.

Speaking about their short time together, she said: “I feel that because Matthew has a lot going on in his life – a lot going on in his head – I felt that it was manifesting to me some times in ways that I didn't like."
