Married at First Sight UK groom Matt Murray will not feature in the Christmas reunion episode. The barber shop owner reportedly skipped filming the festive edition to enjoy some downtime abroad.
Matt, 32, had a turbulent time on the programme which saw him end his marriage to wife Gemma Rose and embark on a whirlwind romance with Whitney Hughes. Matt and Whitney were allowed to stay in the experiment, despite not being married, and went on to confess their love for one another.
However, during an emotional reunion episode, the couple revealed they had gone their separate ways. Shortly after the difficult scenes Matt walked out of the reunion, with the experts explaining: "Matt will be bowing out of proceedings for the rest of the evening. Whitney will be staying with us but we will be respecting Matt's wishes to take some time away from the group."
