Married at First Sight fans furious as star’s Reunion ‘proposal’ takes drastic turn
MARRIED At First Sight viewers were gutted for Tasha Jay after she was ‘tricked’ by Paul Liba.
The stars gathered together for an explosive reunion, which was packed full of drama.
However, in between screaming matches, Tasha and Paul shared a tender moment.
During a game where each bride and groom had to answer a question on card, Paul was asked what the future held for him and girlfriend Tasha.
“Tasha I want to dedicate my future to you for the rest of my life,” he started.
He then put a box on the table in front of a very stunned Tasha who gasped.
The excitement levels in the room hit a new high as Ella asked: “Is this an engagement ring?!”
Quickly realising how it looked, Paul jumped in: “No, no, wait, you guys are getting carried away.”
He turned to Tasha and told her to “calm down”.
“So obviously we’ve said about moving to Manchester, but nothing has actually happened,” he explained.
She opened the box and pulled out a keyring with a silver house dangling from it.
“It’s to show that I’m committed to move to Manchester and for us to get a place together,” he said.
Tasha, who married Paul on the show – which isn’t a legally binding arrangement – appeared to be disappointed that it wasn’t an engagement ring.
Other fans suggested that she may have thought that he was giving her a key.
This didn’t go unnoticed by fans, who were left cringing on her behalf.
“That just p***** me off… I thought it was a key to a home or something – Tasha smiled so thats what matters but the edit built it up too much #MAFSUK #MAFS” one wrote.
“The face of a woman who thought she was getting a ring but didn’t,” said another, sharing a photo of her face when she picked up the keyring.
“Nothing says ‘commitment’ more than a key-ring of a house..” echoed a third.
“All that for a key ring?! FFS” agreed a fourth.
“The producers making a big fuss over Paul’s announcement and cutting dramatically to a commercial break only for him to gift Tasha a KEYRING LMFAO”
But Tasha was clearly still touched by the gesture and told the cameras: “I love the fact that you’re thinking that far ahead. This is actions, this isn’t just words.”
“I appreciate it, and if you want to buy the house then that’s absolutely fine,” she joked.
“It shows you’re ready to be a big boy and move out of Mummy and Daddy’s.”
The pair have gone from strength to strength since leaving the show.
Last month Tasha praised her show husband for “saving her” after she hit rock bottom and “cut herself off from family”.
In a worrying post about her mental health, the reality star wrote: “The past week I’ve been in the worst place mentally and completely shut myself off from my friends, family, and social.”
The candid message went on: “Mental health is no joke and I seriously didn’t see myself beating it.
“All of now I’m not 100% however, about an hour ago, I received a text saying, ‘open your door’.
“Paul knew I wasn’t right and drove up to Leeds just to make sure I was alive.
“I can’t say how grateful for him and my friends and family.
“The moment I opened the door I burst into tears I had no idea he was coming and this is the first time I’ve smiled in days.”
Tasha’s fans will be pleased to know that her husband Paul is looking after her, and supporting her through this tough time.
Throughout their MAFS series, Tasha and Paul were the strongest couple, and were quick to tell each other “I love you”.
Meanwhile, Tasha previously revealed how viewers didn’t get to see her whole story during the experiment, and she was “devastated” her diabetes was edited out of the show.
The reality star has type 1 diabetes and said her condition wasn’t shown in the final edit of Married at First Sight, which she is “really sad” about.
“I got filmed taking my insulin and checking my blood sugar,” she told BBC Newsbeat. “And I don’t know why it didn’t get shown, it does really upset me.”
Tasha was diagnosed at aged two, and said people have asked why that part of her was hidden on the show.
“I’m like ‘I didn’t hide it’,” she said. “For whatever reason they haven’t shown it, which really upsets me because diabetes is a part of my story.”
