MAFS UK's Thomas lets go of 'grudge' against April as pair put feud aside

Married At First Sight UK's April Banbury had previously been left in floods of tears after Thomas Hartley hit out at the former Miss UK.

The Liverpudlian had branded the stunning brunette as the "fakest person" and a "b**ch" before the pair had a series of rows during tense episodes of the E4 programme over claims he gossiped about Chanita Stephenson.

Thomas fumed: "It really f***s me off that I have been made out to be a f**king liar because I am not a liar, my name has been dragged through the mud because of your lies."

But since going their separate ways, it appears their feud has been put to onside as they seemed to be on better terms.

During the reunion episode, Thomas sat with his husband Adrian while April and her husband George sat opposite, with the Scouser saying: "Good vibes, I'm not here for the negativity today – it was exhausting," before April agreed.

Reflecting on her romance with George since leaving the show, April said: "We live so far, I think it's been easier than we thought," while George admitted they have "adjusted to outside life".

"As a person, I've got to let things go, I'm not here for the grudge, I just don't want the drama – I want to be able to enjoy myself for once.

"Part of that is mending bridges."

Despite Thomas building a bridge with April, it appears he didn't have a completely happy ending after his and Adrian's marriage came to an end.

In emotional scenes during one of the final dinner parties, Adrian broke down into tears as Thomas said: "You mean the world to me – just because we love each other doesn't mean we are supposed to be together."

Following the emotional scene, Adrian and Thomas vowed to remain friends, before they bowed out gracefully as fans were left heartbroken by their split.

Speaking previously to The Mirror, Adrian told us that the split "needed to happen" but admitted his heart was "in his mouth".

He said: "We came from such a bad place, we moved mountains and I was so proud of that and it was so such an emotional moment because we [had] become such a strong bond.

"But, it was coming to an end and we knew that it needed to come to an end, both of us knew that."

Having been surrounded by one another almost 24/7, he says it took several months for him to adjust to not having Thomas next to him after filming.
