Married At First Sight millionaire Ben brands ex Stephanie ‘suffocating’ as he hints he’s already moved on
He revealed he and Stephanie are set to divorce after marrying on the Channel 4 show
MARRIED At First Sight millionaire Ben Jardine has said his estranged wife Stephanie was "suffocating" during their short-lived relationship.
It comes after the property developer announced the pair were set to divorce after tying the knot on the Channel 4 show.
Ben, 36, later met former Apprentice star Luisa Zissman on a night out and she couldn't resist quizzing him about their marriage.
She asked him: "Was she a bit psycho?" and Ben replied: "She was a bit suffocating".
He then later said he's "single and ready to mingle".
Ben is obviously very much a single man now as he was spotted flirting with Lizzie Cundy, 47, after she interviewed him on her radio show.
A source told : "They were all over one another. They seemed like they were genuinely into each other.
"She was stroking his arm and everything.
'He was very flirty through the whole interview and kept winking at her. He gave her a big kiss as soon as they met.
"He's definitely looking for a new girl already. They even went for drinks after the show."
Ben hinted he's already moved on when he spoke to Lizzie and her co-host Stephen Leng on their FuBar Radio show.
He said: "I've had a kiss and a cuddle. At the end of the day, it's about respect for that lady. When I was with her I gave 100 per cent and she gave 110 per cent back because she wanted to work on it."
Talking about the split, he said: "Stephanie and I are still friends but I couldn’t give her what she wanted and what she needed, and time is of the essence. And why waste someone’s time if it’s not there?"
He added: "It killed me. After the end of the show we were giving it a go, but as my mum said, you don’t know someone until you've lived with them."

Ben explained: "It broke my heart to do what I had to do, I couldn’t give someone so lovely and so nice what she wanted. She was gutted to be totally honest and she still wanted to try, but it ain't there, kiddo.
"I was thinking, 'How can you love me?' You can’t play with affairs of the heart can you."
The split means the final episode of the series saw every couple featured going their separate ways.
