'I'M FREE'
I was on MAFS UK and here’s the heartbreaking reason I had to leave my ‘fat-shaming’ husband, says Kasia
MAFS UK star Kasia has bravely opened up about the real reason she walked away from her marriage to Kwame - as she slammed his 'fat-shaming' on the show.
Stunned fans praised Kasia, 36, as she sensationally quit the E4 show where strangers get married in an experiment, just days before the final vows take place next week.

In her first chat since leaving the show, the emotional star opened up about what it was really like being married to businessman Kwame, 42, who said he preferred more 'petite' women 'like Beyonce and Rihanna.'
MAFS UK's Kasia told The Sun: “I came on the experiment to find love and a man that would stand by my side through thick and thin.
"But, it turns out that the man selected for me would only stick with me through THIN.
"I love my curves and apparently the first thing Kwame said when he saw me was about my size.
"I left Kwame because he didn’t appreciate me and he publicly said I was bigger than what he normally goes for. As a woman you kinda know if a guy is into you and I feel strongly about empowering plus size women so I was never going to accept Kwame’s 'fat shaming' antics."

Talking about her time with Kwame on MAFS UK, she said: "He was very subtle in the way he said things like not wanting to rush things etc, but everyone could see that he doesn’t like curvy women.
"Women shouldn’t be put under pressure to be a size 6-8 by images they are seeing in the media. The average size of a woman in the UK is a 12.
"I hope that girls watching the show don’t feel negative by what they saw. I hope they watched a confident, strong woman who didn’t take any nonsense from a guy who is stuck on the idea that women should be slim.
"We can all accept a break up if the issue is a clash of personalities but when the focal point is whether you’re a size 8 or a size 14 it’s not exactly 21st Century thinking.”
