MAFS groom takes multiple swipes at ex from show as he tells fans he's avoiding her in Ibiza
A MARRIED At First Sight groom has taken a series of cheeky swipes at his former show bride as they both holiday in Ibiza. The 2024 E4 show star bluntly told fans the pair don't speak any more, and praised a fan who commented he looks "so much happier" now. 8 8 8 8 Nathan Campbell, 24, took to his Instagram Stories to answer a series of questions from his followers during his time on the White Isle. Many of these centred on ex his Married At First Sight ex Lacey Martin, 27, - with whom he appeared in a strong couple on the show, only to break-up shortly after cameras rolled. They re-affirmed their wedding vows on screen yet back in November, a told The Sun things just "fizzled" out. Things swiftly turned sour after Nathan claimed she told him to "fake" their romance for fame and "magazine deals". The bad feeling between the pair is clear, and when one fan asked Nathan: "Does Lacey still contact you?" to which he replied: "No," and a palm up and smile Emojis. One then quizzed: "What if you bump into Lacey?" after she took to her social media pages to reveal she was holidaying in the same area with her sister, He shunned a direct reply to the question, and instead used Emoji icons to suggest he would run away fast. One fan then wrote: "It's good to see you smile and not be taken advantage of, referring to his claims about Lacey." Nathan, who is now in a relationship with Love Island alum Abi Moores, then responded: "Thank you," followed by a smile and love heart Emoji. SHOCK SPLIT The exes appeared to be well-matched on the reality series. Yet fans were left disappointed in November when news of their break-up became public and a source claimed: " Nathan and Lacey really tried to make their relationship work in the real world but it just fizzled after a while. "The final vows were filmed in February and they were still going strong in April when the reunion was shot, but since then they have called in quits. "They were both sad it didn't work out, but sadly it wasn't meant to be. Mafs couples that have stood the test of time Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby. The pair couldn't keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam's Doncaster home. Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau. Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December. Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: 'I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out - and excited for everything to come.' Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019. Owen recalled: 'I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work. "While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in. 'The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, 'Wouldn't it be funny if I signed up?' 'A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.' Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson. Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna's vegan lifestyle, the show's first same sex pairing are still going strong. They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod. Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: "We're not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship." "It's also a big blow for fans who were really invested in their relationship." "They were widely viewed as the strongest couple of the series so the news that they are no longer an item is such a shame." The shock split comes after it was revealed Lacey was rushed to hospital on the E4 show - in scenes that did not make it to air. She has previously denied "faking" her connection with Nathan. Lacey has revealed the "real reason" she split from Nathan which she claims was edited out of a reunion episode. Lacey claimed Nathan refused to wish her luck for her Race For Life run last summer. The star said it was the final straw as she hit out at Nathan for "not taking accountability" for letting her down when she needed him. Lacey exclusively told The Sun: 'In the scenes that were cut I told Nathan 'we didn't split up because of messages'. It's not the reason we split up. "I messaged him saying that maybe we should just be friends if he couldn't wish me luck on what was a really important day for me. 'I was shocked and hurt and told him I'd never do that to him. "He knows how important the Race For Life was for me, he didn't take accountability for not wishing me luck." 8 8 8 8

Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 MAFS' Lacey Martin has opened up about her secret battle with scoliosis Credit: Instagram Taking to her Stories, she wrote: "I'm in agony with my back, I have scoliosis 2 curves. "Been on going since a teenager and wore a back brace. "Need some advice on the best back supports to help with my posture and work etc.. thank you. "Any advice I would appreciate it." Lacey recently sparked romance rumours with Terence Edwards as they rang in her birthday at a trendy bar. Terence, 40, and Lacey cuddled up close for plenty of photos and videos posted to their respective Instagram stories. The pair appeared on the E4 reality relationship series one year apart, but seems they have become fast friends since moving on from their TV spouses. They partied with Lacey's twin sister Paige and Love Island's Marcel Sommerville at celebrity hotspot, Sheesh, in Chigwell. The pair even took a video of themselves doing shots on the night out. Terrence also posted a video sitting next to Lacey and filmed her receiving her birthday cake as she cheered while everyone sang her Happy Birthday. MAFS stars spark romance rumours as they cosy up on boozy night out after bride is accused of showmance with groom The social worker turned DJ and host found fame in the 2023 series of MAFS, while Lacey appeared on the E4 show a year later. Terrence was paired with Porscha Pernnelle on MAFS UK, but their marriage did not last when he walked out of the show after hearing rumours she had kissed other grooms. Since then, he has been spotted hanging out with another MAFS UK star, Tasha Joy, 27. As for Lacey, she seemed to have a happier marriage on the series when she was put with Nathan Campbell, but they split after the show aired. Their breakup turned sour when Nathan accused Lacey of wanting to fake their romance in order to get more publicity and media opportunities. He made the revelations during February's reunion episode. Nathan told some of the other grooms: "She messaged me and said after a year you get magazine deals and things like that, showmance." He went on to say: "She sent me a text message saying the relationship she wanted would be a pretend one so she could get more opportunity from it and make more money but I didn't want to do it." What is scoliosis? Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine, which can cause uneven shoulders. Treatment is not always necessary for the condition but some people who develop scoliosis can be required to wear a back brace to stop the curve worsening as they get older. In cases where surgery is required, patients may undergo a spinal fusion operation; a procedure that can last for several hours. Lacey's family defended her on social media and she opened up about experiencing dark episodes since the breakup. "We all have our battles, but overall, I am a positive girl. And I didn't get out my pyjamas for four days. I was crying, and it was just me, my mum and my twin sister Paige in the house," she told Bobby Norris on his Access All Areas podcast. "And I was like, Mum, there's no way out. And for me, I feel like Nathan should have put a statement out." She continued: "I suffer with depression. I'm pretty open about that, but I've never had dark thoughts like that where I'm drowning. "I just want it to be all over. I just want to be asleep. And, it was a hard place. And there was no one to run to, and even if you put out a statement, people weren't really reading it." 4 Lacey told her Instagram followers she's "in agony" with the condition Credit: Instagram / lacemartin_ 4 She married Nathan Campbell on the E4 show Credit: Instagram

I'm A Celeb's Melvin Odoom confirms relationship status after being linked to MAFS beauty
I'M A Celebrity star Melvin Odoom has opened up on his relationship status after being linked to a string of TV women. The star appeared to be a huge hit with the ladies following his time Down Under on the ITV reality show. 6 6 Earlier this year, it was revealed how the BBC Radio 1 star was romancing a reality TV bride after the 44-year-old was said to be "all over" the star. During a party in London in February, Melvin is thought to have gotten close to Married At First Sight star, Lacey Martin. It was understood that Lacey, 27, was Melvin's special guest after they had been messaging each other constantly for weeks prior. However, it appears that the romance did not last with Melvin now clarifying exclusively to The Sun that he is single. When asked about his romance with Lacey on the red carpet of the 2025 BAFTA TV Awards, Melvin told us: "No [I'm not dating her]. "I am just a friendly guy!" Re-affirming his relationship status, Melvin then said: "I am a single pringle - no mingling! "I am just focusing on my work." In terms of his upcoming projects, the star admitted he has filmed a slew of game shows - including one with Amanda Holden. Melvin said: "I've done loads of random game shows at the moment. TV Baftas 2025 "Amanda Holden has got one, Carol Vorderman has got one - I love Carol, she's amazing!" Melvin famously confessed that former Countdown host Carol Vorderman was his ultimate celebrity crush during his time in the Aussie camp. It provoked Carol to leave Melvin a very flirty voicemail message as the unlikely duo sparked a slew of romance rumours. The pair were seen hanging out with each other in March, shortly after Melvin revealed that Carol had snubbed one of his texts earlier in the year. 6 Chatting to his former I'm A Celebrity campmate GK Barry on her Saving Grace podcast. GK asked Melvin: " Carol Vorderman. Have you had any update on that?" Looking deflated, Melvin replied: "I'll tell you the truth. I sent her a message saying, 'Thanks for being a great sport but here's my number. Give me a little call'. "She's not read it. It's been three weeks. Why would you not even just read it? "It's just been left there and I check it once a week. And I'm like, 'Oh, okay...'." 6 6
