MAFS star Thomas admits he no longer speaks to husband Adrian after nasty podcast jokes

Married At First Sight star Thomas Hartley has said that he is no longer on speaking terms with husband Adrian Sanderson after he made 'nasty' comments about several cast members on a podcast.

The pair charmed the hearts of MAFS viewers over the last few months as they grew to love each other as friends after initially hating one another at the altar.

Yet it looks like all good things come to an end and the pair have fallen out - and are unlikely to mend bridges anytime soon.

Quizzed by a fan on whether he and Adrian still speak, Thomas replied: "No, where most of the cast is concerned now I don't want any association. I'm just going to do things that make me happy and feel secure xx."

After another asked whether he was still friends with him, he replied: "No. And I'm letting sitting ducks lie with this now. The show is over and everyone's on their own paths and I wish him love."

He also revealed that he and Gemma, who he was very close to on the show, were no longer friends and said he "wishes her all the best".

Thomas is yet to make up with Zoe, saying: "I'm gonna take from this that I need to be around my day one family and friends. Zoe is a wonderful person and I think she's a stand-out who is kind and amazing and I send her so much love."

It comes after Thomas came under fire from his co-stars for cruel comments he made in a podcast, including a 'joke' about Jenna's father who died during lockdown.

Thomas later broke down in tears as he issued a grovelling public apology on social media saying there was 'no excuse' for his actions.

Although he said sorry on Instagram, Jenna said she had been offered no personal apology and described Thomas’ actions as "another stab in the back".

Re-sharing her Instagram post on their stories – in which she thanked fans for their support – Jenna’s co-stars branded Thomas’ behaviour ‘disgusting’.

Chanita wrote: “Listening to that podcast made me so angry and I felt heartbroken for those being spoken about!

“So I can’t even imagine what the girls must be going through hearing that vileness. Absolutely disgusting!!”

The 29-year-old social worker added: “All involved should be utterly ashamed and need to check themselves in regards to their morals and compassion.

Jordan, who was married to Chanita on the Channel 4 show, also waded in to give his opinion on what Thomas had done.

“I am absolutely disgusted at the whole situation,” he told his 88,000 Instagram followers.

“I don’t even have the words. It is inexcusable. End of,” he added.

Dental hygienist Jess, who was married to stripper Pjay on the show, further leapt to Jenna’s defence.

She wrote: “I love you @jennarobo so much support around u! We all love u so much and so sorry this has happened.”

Jenna’s wife Zoe previously took to Instagram to brand Thomas a “disrespectful piece of s***”.

She said: “To slate your own friend and disrespect Jenna is something completely unforgiveable.”
