MARRIED at First Sight stars Matt Murray and Whitney Hughes have kept fans guessing about their love life – as pals are convinced they are getting back together.
The pair – who didn’t get married on the E4 show – were battling to make things work after sensationally splitting from their ‘spouses’ to be together – but Matt says they are just good friends.
Whitney Hughes and Matt Murray are trying to make a go of their relationship
A source said: “Whitney and Matt are giving their romance another go. Feelings don’t disappear overnight.
“One minute they are on, and the next they are off. They have been trying to make things work as they had such a strong connection.”
Whitney suffered a rough start on the series when she accused ‘groom’ Duka Cav of faking his feelings.
Telly fans were blown away by her romance with Matt – as the two told people they were in love from the get-go as they struggled to make things work.
The source added: “They have given each other space, because the romance has not been an easy ride and Whitney has been leaning on her MAFS pals to get her through. “
A representative for Matt said: “Matt and Whitney are not pursuing a relationship, they remain friends and he wants nothing but the best for her and hopes she find happiness.”
The duo finished the E4 experiment declaring they were “in love” – despite a tricky time which saw them split with their original show partners.
However, Monday’s reunion dinner revealed they had since split.
When asked: “What’s happened?” Whitney is first to explain: “Over it,” before the pair burst into laughter.
Matt has been one of the most controversial stars of this series.
Matt, dressed in a smart green shirt and jeans, appears lost for words as he responds: “Erm. Coming out of the experiment we spent a lot of time together to start with didn’t we?”
Talking of his former partner’s visit to his Huddersfield home, he adds: “Whitney came up to mine, I went down to Whitney’s.
“I just think we hit a few boundaries. It’s s**t.
Matt later stormed out of the reunion dinner. On Tuesday second reunion episode he was seen addressing the group, and issuing an apology.
He had earlier dumped “bride” Gemma for Whitney, who was originally paired with Duka.
