MAFS star Ben Jardine has slammed Whitney and Matt saying they made a mockery of the show by swapping spouses
MAFS legend Ben Jardine has slammed Whitney Hughes and Matt Murray saying they made a mockery of the show by leaving their respective partners and getting together.
He spoke out ahead of the explosive second part of the Married At First Sight UK finale tonight.
Ben was fuming at the couple for being allowed to stay on the show after Whitney dumped Duka and Matt ditched wife Gemma to get together.
Reality TV favourite Ben called time on his marriage when it was not working during the E4 show where strangers get hitched.
In an exclusive chat with The Sun, the Celebrity Big Brother star said: “I know it didn’t work out for me and my wife when I was on MAFS but I didn’t go and jump into bed with another wife on the same show.
“Whitney and Matt showed their ugly sides to their original partners then wanted everyone to accept their smiles and happiness when they got together.
“To be fair, Thomas gave them both a good going over, my favourite line was when he called Whitney a ‘pound shop Naomi Campbell, lol.”

Ben said he was stunned show bosses let them continue the experiment.
He said: “I’m surprised the experts let them stay in the show because the same thing happened in the Australian last series and the experts wouldn’t let them back in the experiment.
“I really felt sorry for Gemma, she had a really painful time with Matt.
“As for Whitney, well, poor Duka!
“Not only had to put up with her moaning and complaining, he had to watch her get with Matt and smile continuously. “
