MAFS star Nathanial makes explosive claims against his ex and says he secretly quit the show on their honeymoon
MARRIED At First Sight star Nathanial Valentino has broken his silence after his toxic split from bride, Ella Morgan.
The 36-year-old took to his Instagram story to share a lengthy statement regarding his on-screen relationship.
After a fan asked Nathanial if he fancied Ella, He wrote: "Ella isn't my usual type, I was attracted to her at the wedding and when we were good we had so much fun.
"The truth is Ella wouldn't spend time with me, she was more into having fun with the girls, I was always in the apartment cooking, cleaning, shopping etc.
"She was more into getting drunk and partying every night, than working on us (what we were there for).
"I went to bed alone 99% of the time.

"We promised each other we would protect each other and she betrayed my friendship and the trust we created through this experience.
"I put up with a lot with her behaviour but this was too much.
"I left the show on the honeymoon after I found out production lied to get me on the show and Ella's drunk antics at the hotel bar asking guys for 3sums.
"She begged me to stay and that she was sorry for everything - which you guys didn't see."

In response to Nathanial's claims, a spokesperson for Channel 4 said:
"Nathaniel entered this process voluntarily with full and informed consent, and was actually provided with more information than we would ordinarily share with cast members.
"We take the matching of couples very seriously, using in-depth profiling, and research to match for compatibility.
"After being cast on MAFS UK, contributors have the ability and choice to leave the process at any stage, which audiences saw Nathaniel do during episode 20 last week.
"The welfare of all contributors on Married at First Sight UK is our top priority and we ensure that appropriate support is available to contributors at all times before, during and after filming. All broadcast episodes of MAFS UK are a fair and accurate reflection of the events that took place."
The pair split on the show earlier last week after Nathaniel found out Ella, 29, had been texting and meeting up with another groom, JJ Slater, 30.
Although the show was filmed last year, it only began airing last month.
