Eventually, the issue was resolved and viewers could finally tune in to the all important episode, where it was soon revealed that CrossFit gym owner Steven, 37 and his bride Sabrina, 35 were the couple that had decided to bring their relationship to an end after less than one year together.

When the experiment first began, the couple actually gelled really well and showed a clear chemistry even before locking eyes on each other for the first time. So much so, the pair were so smitten, they even decided to say a formal “I do” at the end of the process and legally tied the knot in a commitment to one another.

However it was this lavish ceremony that sparked the beginning of the end for the couple, as despite having “fallen in love” they soon learnt some unexpected things about each other that hadn’t previously been discussed.

Offering insight into the split, a TV source told MailOnline: “Sabrina and Steven committed to each other on their wedding day last year because they fell in love and hoped they could make it work. But after filming for the show finished, they started to learn things about each other that they hadn’t discussed while dating in the pods.

“There were hurdles they struggled to overcome, like their difference in opinion about starting a family and where to live long-term.They are still friends and after going through a life changing experience together, will be bonded for life but their relationship is well and truly over.”

And during Monday night’s reunion, Sabrina herself also shed some more light on the situation as she said: “I don’t feel like you respected me.”

The couple also both agreed that their hometowns were also proving to be problematic, with the couple struggling to make a long distance relationship work between Belfast and London – and this was deemed to be the biggest root cause behind their decision to part ways.

Despite the split however, the couple reportedly do continue to remain friends.
