MAFS stars spark romance rumours as they cosy up on boozy night out after bride is accused of showmance with groom
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MARRIED At First Sight UK stars Terence Edwards and Lacey Martin got cosy as they rang in her 28th birthday at a trendy bar. Terence, 40, and Lacey cuddled up close for plenty of photos and videos posted to their respective Instagram stories. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 MAFS UK star Lacey Martin was seen getting cosy with another star from the show Credit: Instagram 5 It was Terence Edwards who attended her birthday party Credit: Getty 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. Terrence and Lacey partied with her twin sister Paige and Love Island's Marcel Sommerville at celebrity hotspot, Sheesh, in Chigwell. The pair partied together and took a video of them 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. 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. MAFS UK exes risk run-in at celeb packed event after bitter split and huge fall out 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." 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." 5 Terrence was married to Porscha Pernnelle on MAFS UK Credit: Channel 4 5 While Lacey was paired with Nathan Campbell Credit: Instagram/E4 5 Nathan accused Lacey of wanting a 'showmance' Credit: Channel 4 Help for mental health If you, or anyone you know, needs help dealing with mental health problems, the following organisations provide support.
