Married At First Sight UK star splits from girlfriend and signs up for OnlyFans
A Married At First Sight UK groom has called time on his relationship and career and is now earning money from subscription based site OnlyFans. Married At First Sight UK star Ross McCarthy has revealed he's split from his girlfriend Magda as he confirmed he's 'been single for a while'. The pair were in an on-off relationship with them splitting in February this year before reuniting in May. However, it seems like they've called it quits for good as Ross, 32, has removed all traces of Magda from his social media pages. The split comes after it was reported that the two had struggled to make their relationship work previously. A source had told The Sun: 'Ross and Magda have gone their separate ways after failing to make their relationship work. He's removed all of his photos of them together from his social media, and they've both unfollowed each other.' The two first went public with their relationship in November 2024 as he shared a video clip of him and his 'real deal girlfriend' at the seaside. Alongside the clip, he wrote: "The moment I been waiting for…. The real deal. My world." Replying to his gushing comment, Magdalena wrote: "My everything." In the clip, the groom appeared to be love drunk as he is seen kissing and cuddling his new love and his fans went wild in the comment section of his post. One person wrote: "I wish you all the happiness in the world, sorry things with Sacha didn't work out x." Another commented: "Worst kept secret but glad you have someone who deserves you!" And a third person said: "Congrats Magda is lovely." This isn't the only big change in Ross' life as he's joined OnlyFans in a big career move, after previously working as a painter and decorator. He started out on the platform this week after 'thinking about it for a while'. Ross teased what fans can expect on the subscription site as he shared some cheeky pictures on social media as well as adding the link to his new OnlyFans page in his Instagram bio. MAFS fans will remember Ross from the ninth series of the hit E4 dating show which aired last year. The reality star made history on the show as the first deaf groom over the course of the last nine series. He was paired with Sacha Jones and the couple appeared to hit it off after getting married, but the issues between them soon cropped up. Sacha left her hometown of Walsall to move in with Ross at his home in Manchester but things were far from perfect. She admitted in the Homestays episode that she was hesitant to move for him because of his fiery temper. However, the pair still vowed to stay together during the final commitment ceremony before splitting for good shortly after. Sacha told OK! about their relationship: 'When I think of my time with Ross after the show, it's just dark. Dark. I can't think of one happy memory after the show. It was awful. The last happy memory I have is going to the first reunion together and putting on a strong front.' She went on to claim that he 'threw a kebab at a wall' during filming and called her names that were 'so bad' they didn't make it to air.

Married At First Sight experts admit they ‘can't really avoid' controversial contestants after Nine came under fire for show violence
Married At First Sight experts Alessandra Rapolla and John Aiken have made a huge admission about controversial contestants joining the reality TV juggernaut - that seem to fly in the face of network's desire to keep the show's drama "out of the courtroom". Speaking to at the 65th TV WEEK Logie Awards at Sydney's The Star on Sunday evening, Rampolla and Aiken divulged details about how the Nine Network will clean up the reality dating show in 2026. Nine has implemented stricter background checks, more in-depth psychological screening, and tough guidelines aimed at avoiding another police scandal after groom Paul Antoine punched a wall last season. However, Rampolla said the network and production company Endemol Shine Australia still "can't really avoid" having questionable cast members on the show. "We're just beginning the filming (for the 2026 season), and the checks and balances are there previously," the clinical sexologist said. "But then also people can choose to disclose or not disclose (their background). "And they can choose to act a certain way and then reveal themselves through many months of filming and all the stresses that go into that." "So you can't really avoid if somebody is perhaps willingly trying to be deceptive." Rampolla said the experts will nevertheless always "call out" and "bring about" different ways of managing deceptive brides and grooms. "And really find a good, safe resolution," she said. Aiken echoed his co-expert, saying the duo, along with their third counterpart, dating coach Mel Schilling, will help mitigate the risk of cast members being aggressive next year. "We're always very, very strong on checks and balances," he said. "What we found as experts is that people will surprise us all the time, and then it's what we do to manage it." Elaborating on the changes to the next season as filming gets underway, Aiken said many "strong women" who are culturally diverse are set to walk down the aisle to shoot their shot at finding love on TV in 2026. "We have a lot of strong women on the show this year, which I think will bring different mindsets, different perspectives, which is great, but also culturally as well. We wanted to bring different cultures in there," he said. An insider last month told the final weeks of pre-production were stressful, with the show at risk of losing strong brides. 'We struggled a bit locking in the last few grooms,' the source said. 'We had some really strong women and didn't want to lose them, so it was a bit of a puzzle to get the right matches.' It comes as a NSW Police spokesperson told "no further police action is expected" following last year's investigation into the program after groom Paul Antoine's violent act, in which he admitted to punching a hole in a wall during filming while arguing with his onscreen "wife". MAFS producers are promising a 'fresh take' on the dating show's format, which has dominated Australian reality TV for more than a decade. Nine executives reportedly issued a very clear directive: 'Go hard on challenging the participants, but keep the drama out of the courtroom.' 'Safe Work was also heavily involved in reviewing the show's future, and Channel Nine has taken their recommendations very seriously,' a network insider said. 'They want compelling TV but not at the expense of cast wellbeing or legal risk.' While Channel Nine has yet to confirm an official air date for the next season, MAFS season 13 is expected to premiere in January 2026. have reached out to the Nine Network for further comment.

JJ Slater feeling ‘insecure' as Katie Price blasted over being ‘disrespectful'
As Katie Price faces backlash for partying with celebs in Ibiza, a source says that her antics will be tough on her boyfriend JJ Slater - and fans urge him to 'dump her' Katie Price' s outrageous bikini-clad antics in Ibiza have sparked calls for her reality star boyfriend John 'JJ' Slater to dump her. The 47-year-old let her hair down last week on a wild trip to the party island, where she was snapped cosying up to a number of shirtless men – including some very famous faces. And her behaviour didn't go down well back home, with Katie accused of being 'disrespectful' towards Married At First Sight UK hunk JJ, 32, who she started dating early last year. However, despite the flood of negative comments, a source tells OK! the warnings will fall on deaf ears and that 'Katie is just being Katie'. 'She can't help but flirt and cosy up to people – it's the life she's always led,' said our source. 'She thinks it's all just a bit of innocent flirting because she's a very loud and larger than life character, but for her boyfriends it's another thing. 'Seeing your girlfriend in a tiny bikini surrounded by a load of topless men is bound to make anyone feel a bit insecure, and JJ is no exception. He's put up with a lot and it's not easy dating someone as famous as Katie. It's not nice for him to see the photos. 'He's aware of what people are saying and he tries to ignore the comments, but it's not easy.' The former glamour model – who was joined for part of the trip by her son Junior Andre, 20 – was snapped partying with former UFC champion Conor McGregor, EastEnders star Dean Gaffney and night club boss Wayne Lineker, owner of the island's famous O Beach club. Her social media posts quickly attracted a slew of critical comments from fans expressing their shock, with many of them calling on JJ – who previously dated his MAFS co-star Ella Morgan – to 'dump her' over her disrespectful behaviour. 'I am in a long-term relationship and out of respect for my partner I wouldn't pose like this with another man,' one follower wrote. Another demanded, 'How can you pose with men like this when having a so-called partner back home?' Other comments included, 'I'd dump her if I was JJ, she's just rubbing his nose in it', and 'JJ should dump her.' Katie got together with JJ in early 2024, a few months after she split from her ex-fiancé Carl Woods, 36. She recently described JJ as 'the most kindest, genuine, easygoing, chilled person'. But she admitted she still didn't feel free or at her 'happiest'. 'It's not a reflection on him, maybe that's what I need to change for myself,' she told Celebs Go Dating's relationship guru Paul C Brunson on his We Need To Talk podcast. Katie has often said that men have been her biggest 'downfall', and once admitted she sought out 'neediness' and ended up in 'toxic relationships'. As well as her failed marriages to Peter Andre, Alex Reid and Kieran Hayler, Katie has a string of other famous exes, including footballers Dwight Yorke and Teddy Sheringham, and rugby player Danny Cipriani. She dated her most recent ex, Carl, for three years. He recently accused her of being unfaithful, claiming she cheated on him multiple times and that he'd caught her messaging several footballers, including a 'very famous' England star. However, Katie's camp hit back, describing him as 'another ex cashing in on Kate'. The star flew out to sunny Spain shortly after having her Brazilian bum lift topped up. Dressed in a bikini, two bloodied plasters on the injection sites were visible on her buttocks. But it was the photos of Katie with UFC legend Conor, 36, and footie icon Gary Lineker 's brother Wayne, 63, that created the biggest furore. According to our source, while JJ trusts Katie and knows she's happy with him, he's not immune to feeling insecure over her antics. 'While JJ is a really patient man, everyone has their limits,' the source said. 'He's been there for her through all her surgeries, her bankruptcy hearings, helping with Harvey, so he wants to feel like a priority, not a spare part. 'He knows that she loves him and that she appreciates that he treats her differently to some of her exes, so he works hard to not let it get to him. And he knows that at the end of the day, it's him she comes home to.'

Married At First Sight UK star Georges Berthonneau says ex-girlfriend Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu messaged him while in bed with boyfriend Curtis Pritchard
Married At First Sight UK star Georges Berthonneau has accused his ex-girlfriend Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu of messaging him while she was in bed with current partner Curtis Pritchard. The former E4 contestant, 32, revealed to MailOnline in April that he had a secret relationship with Ekin, 30, and they remained committed to each other despite her appearance on Love Island: All Stars. In an exclusive interview, Georges claimed he and Ekin had agreed that if she stuck to a set of boundaries, she could appear on the Love Island spinoff to further her career, and they would go back to each other once the show had wrapped. But Georges was left devastated after the woman he loved started dating Curtis on national TV and the couple entered a relationship together. Now, the personal trainer has spoken on FUBAR Radio about his experiences with the former Celebrity Big Brother contestant, alleging the pair have exchanged messages since her stint in the South African villa. Georges said: 'On the day before my birthday, she was out with him that night, and they'd had an argument, and she was messaging me whilst he was asleep in bed with her being like, I need to see you. Blah, blah, blah, like, I've got the receipts on my phone.' Georges has spoken on FUBAR Radio about his experiences with the former Celebrity Big Brother contestant, alleging the pair have exchanged messages since her stint in the South African villa (pictured Ekin-Su and Curtis Pritchard recently) Georges also revealed he would be happy to meet Curtis face to face to show him the 'receipts' of his alleged conversations with Ekin-Su since she left the show. MailOnline has approached Ekin's representative for comment and they declined to comment on her behalf. Last month Ekin-Su and Curtis were hit by speculation they had split just two months after leaving the villa, but soon clarified they were still very much together. Reacting to the news, Curtis shared a video on Ekin-Su's Instagram Story on Monday to joke about the reported 'break up' as he revealed they had both simply been away for work. The dancer was seen with a black eye as he chilled on the sofa, before saying: 'Good day of boxing today, and yeah as you can see a little bit of a black eye but it's getting better.' 'Yeah apparently I'm now single as well, yes!' he added, as Ekin-Su could be heard laughing in the background. 'But unfortunately I've got back with my ex straight away,' he continued, as he leaned into Ekin-Su and showed her on camera. 'Apparently spending nearly two or three days away means we've broken up?' Ekin-Su said. George first spoke about his secret 10-month relationship with Ekin-Su during her time on the ITV dating show in an exclusive interview with MailOnline last month. According to Georges, he and Ekin were in love, but she insisted on signing up to the ITV2 show to further her career. They agreed she would go no further than 'kissing' another Islander during her time on the dating series, of which she was the star signing. But Georges claimed Ekin betrayed him on national TV when she became Curtis ' girlfriend, leaving him devastated. Speaking to us, Georges said he and Ekin had planned a future together, called each other pet names, holidayed in France during the summer and spent Boxing Day exchanging gifts, just 18 days before she entered the South African villa. The personal trainer says he lived a 'nightmare' for the five weeks Ekin was on the dating show as she passionately kissed Curtis, 29, and performed a seductive routine for him wearing sexy red lingerie during the programme's Heart Rate Challenge. But after Ekin shunned Georges once All Stars was over, only reaching out to him a week after the final, he finally ended their romance, saying: 'I can't be with someone who has another boyfriend…' Georges said: 'We were boyfriend and girlfriend from April last year. We were with each other. We spent Boxing Day together. 'She spent time with my family, she came to family events, she met my nephews, sister-in-law, uncles, everyone. I met her mum a couple of times and her brother. 'We said we loved each other after six weeks of dating... I fell in love with the girl. She used to call me Bear and I called her Olive because of her olive skin and that's one of her last messages to me, "I love you, my Bear." 'It was a super, super intense and intimate relationship... We had a lot of intimacy, we were very close, and physically and emotionally we showed each other such love, but she threw everything we had away for her TV romance with Curtis Pritchard.' Ekin returned to Love Island after first winning the show with ex-boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti in 2022. She told her 4.3million fanbase in January: 'I know I said I was done with Love Island, but here I am, fully invested again. The drama, the chaos, the questionable decisions, I just can't stay away.' But Georges, who first connected with Ekin after she sent him a flirty direct message on Instagram, has claimed she only appeared on the show to boost her career, which he felt obliged to accept. He has even accused the former Celebrity Big Brother contestant of 'gaslighting' after she allegedly told him not to date any other women during her appearance on Love Island: All Stars, where contestants romance each other on a daily basis. He said: 'I got played. She gaslit me. I said to her before she went into the villa, "you do realise no one else would accept you going on the show" and she replied, "and that's exactly why I won't be with someone who wouldn't let me do things for my career." 'I feel so used. The devil on her shoulder is always money, money, money, brand deals, she just wants to be the most known person and that's all she cares about. 'I begged her not to go on All Stars and her friends were telling her not to because she had me at home who she cares about and loves but she said she needed to do it for her career. 'She said her career was more important even though she also wants to have a family and children. She threw it all away with me. 'Despite the fact she was going on Love Island, she told me not to get with any other girls while she was away, which I told her wouldn't happen because I loved her.' Georges says the couple eventually agreed to remain together during Ekin's time on All Stars after finding a potential breakup too painful. According to Georges, they outlined some rules for Ekin to follow out of respect for their relationship, including not to go further than a kiss with any of her co-stars. But the former E4 contestant was left distraught after watching Ekin's behaviour on television, admitting he no longer knew whether she was acting for the TV cameras or had forgotten about him completely. He said: 'Before she flew to South Africa, we spent three days in floods of tears with each other. It was such an emotionally difficult time. I was broken, absolutely broken. 'We were going to split up but we both decided not to and that we were going to navigate things once she got back. She told me she was going on All Stars in October, but she didn't sign the contract until December. We were actually at an Airbnb when ITV phoned her about doing the show. 'The rule for All Stars was no more than kissing from a cheating point of view. She was going to go in and do what she had to do but when she was back, we would navigate everything that we needed to. She performed a sexy routine wearing red lingerie in the show's Heart Rate Challenge where she went above and beyond to raise the heart rates of the male Islanders Ekin crawled along the villa floor in homage to her first stint on the show where she sneakily kissed another Islander on the balcony 'But then everything happened with Curtis... It's a fact she cheated on me with him, she was on national TV and said yes to being another man's girlfriend.' However, a source close to Ekin says she was 'upfront' with Georges about their relationship ending before she became a contestant on Love Island: All Stars and it was always her intention to find someone new on the show. A friend said: 'Ekin's relationship with Georges was always non-exclusive, which can be vouched for by multiple ITV producers, friends, and family. 'When Ekin entered the villa she was single and hopeful at finding a new relationship. 'From when she and Georges started casually seeing each other in April, she was honest and outward about the fact she was single. 'Ekin was publicly active on the dating app Raya, which Georges knew about, and was seeing other people during this time.' The ordeal of watching the woman he loved date on national TV took its toll, with Georges saying the show's popularity meant he couldn't escape his nightmare. He signed up to therapy sessions in an attempt to cope with the trauma and have an outlet for the pain he was suffering. Love Island: All Stars, presented by TV host Maya Jama, kicked off on January 13 and lasted five weeks. Former Turkish soap actress Ekin entered as the show's first bombshell arrival, strutting into the villa wearing a white leotard with a beaded skirt. Ekin and Curtis, who first appeared on the 2019 series with ex-girlfriend Maura Higgins, finished in third place while Gabby Allen and Casey O'Gorman were crowned winners of the £50,000 prize. Georges said: 'I only watched three or four episodes, but it was everywhere, all over social media. It was horrible, every single second of it... I felt like I was living the same nightmare every day. 'Even in my head, I thought, right I'm done with her, but I still needed to have that conversation with her, I had no closure. 'I didn't know if she was putting on an act for TV because of what she told me. She kept me sweet on the outside while she roamed around and did what she wanted in the villa. 'I have started therapy because of this. I started in week three of the show because I was so f***ing broken, every week crying. 'She isolated me from my friends because she didn't want them knowing about our relationship. I stopped talking to them about it, but I needed therapy to vent and talk and grow.' Georges found fame when he appeared on Married At First Sight UK in 2023, which saw him marry ex-wife Peggy Lawrence after they met for the first time at the alter After waiting five long weeks waiting to reconnect with Ekin, Georges had hoped she would be in contact as soon as the All Stars series finished. But his heartache intensified when Ekin failed to message once the show had wrapped and he claims he's still yet to receive an apology from the star, who he says has not taken accountability for her actions. He said: 'She had the opportunity to message me 24 hours after the show ended but she disrespected me even more. 'Once the show was over, she didn't message me. I messaged her the entire time she was on Love Island... I needed to for my own mental health. 'But I first received a message from her a week later on February 24... I messaged her saying, 'you officially have two boyfriends.' 'When she finally got back to me, she said she had been 'overwhelmed.' 'We ended up having a two-hour phone call where I told her I couldn't be with someone who has another boyfriend...' 'She has not apologised to me. She has not taken accountability, and we are seven weeks post show.' A representative for Ekin-Su told MailOnline: 'Ekin-Su was never in an exclusive relationship with Georges. 'He knew before she went on Love Island: All Stars that she was entering the show as a single person and therefore their relationship would not continue under those circumstances. 'Ekin was upfront with Georges about her intention to pursue a new relationship on Love Island. 'Georges chose to remain involved with Ekin despite this, telling her that he would 'rather be the fool who waits than the one who gives up.' 'However, from October 2024 to January 2025, Ekin made it clear on multiple occasions, as confirmed by her close friends and team, that their relationship was set to end prior to going on the show.'
