A source told us: “Amy and Arthur had been messaging each other for a little while.

“She then disappeared for three months to go on the show and then all of a sudden reappeared one day and he went ‘where the f*** did you go?’

“She said she couldn’t tell him so he asked her if she’d been on Married At First Sight and she confirmed she had.”

The source continued: “They ended up meeting up and going to a rave together after that, but didn’t get on romantically so decided not to pursue things.”
