Married at First Sight UK star Jordan Gayle has spoken out about his split from co-star Erica Roberts after their marriage broke down following months of toxic rows
Married at First Sight UK’s Jordan Gayle has spoken out about his “heart-breaking” split from show partner Erica Roberts, admitting he feels “like a mug.”
The couple, who tied the knot on the E4 reality TV programme, recently parted ways after a number of intense arguments. In February, Jordan addressed the breakup rumours on Instagram, clarifying: “Yes sadly we are not together anymore but not because of the reunion.”
He continued to express his dismay over the public speculation, stating: “It’s very sad the way this has come out and I’m not sure where it’s come from. But there is a lot of noise coming from people who know nothing about what has happened… the reunion was filmed around 5 months ago and we have had great and special memories since then, some of them you’ve seen on our social media.”
Jordan urged for understanding, adding: “There doesn’t always have to be a villain in a breakup and I just ask for everyone not to look for one. This is all will say for now, I will speak again when the time is right but for now… I will be around those people who really know me.”, reports OK!
On The Superhero Finder podcast, Jordan delved deeper into his feelings post-split, confessing: “I feel like a mug for falling as hard as I did.” He revealed his emotional struggle, saying: “It’s weird because I’ve not got emotional about it for a long time because I think I’ve been holding it back a bit.”
He also shared that his intentions for joining the show were genuine and that he truly believed he had found love by the end.
The TV personality revealed: “I’ve never told this to anyone, without digging too many people out.. the camera people were like ‘Do you want us to take the cameras away, you don’t have to film. That’s why I’ve been so heartbroken, because I thought I was going to be with this person forever.”
The drama didn’t stop there for Jordan, who had a falling-out with fellow cast member and rival Luke Worley on the show, leading to Luke’s removal after a physical clash. Post-show, their rivalry escalated, culminating in an alleged altercation at a PrettyLittleThing bash.
Jordan, attending with Erica, accused Luke of a dangerous eye poke, telling The Sun: “He’s a dirty fighter – all it takes is for him to get the retina and he could have blinded me.”
Luke, however, broadcasted his side on Instagram, labelling Jordan as unstable: “Everyone watching this video, search up now traits of a psychopath. Jordan is a psychopath. Jordan is not mentally stable to be having a fight.”
He continued his rant against Jordan: “He’s like a psychopath, I’m telling you now, and for Jordan to even be entertaining any boxing, any fighting, any sort of aggression, goes against what he ‘believes in’. Trust me. At an exclusive event and you chuck at me and then trying to slap me around the face? “.
The boxing match featuring the duo was called off by sports promoter DKM Plush Boxing, citing Luke’s inadequate training as the reason for the cancellation.
