Married at First Sight UK stars Erica Roberts and Jordan Gayle have split up.
Erica, 25, took to social media on Wednesday to confirm that she and the Sheffield-born star had decided to part ways. She said it was sad they couldn't tell people in their own way because of the news coming out first.
Erica shared in her message: "It's disappointing that Jordan and I weren't able to share this on our own terms due to the press lead but we would just like to confirm that we are no longer together. This hasn't been an easy decision for us both as we really wanted to make our relationship work." She also said: "I truly wish him all the best and there is no bad blood between us".
It was previously claimed by MailOnline that the former couple's romance had turned "toxic" after a fall out. A source told the outlet: "It was Erica that ended her marriage with Jordan… she did everything possible to make it work but sadly they struggled and in the end, she had no choice but to give up.
"Jordan can be hotheaded and Erica's looking for someone who's a bit more laidback so in the end it was a constant personality clash. Of course, both parties are upset and didn't want this to be how their story ended but also in the long-term, it's better for them both to move on."

Erica, who hails from Edinburgh, was paired with 26-year-old personal trainer Jordan on the popular E4 series. They exchanged vows after meeting at the altar and had a bumpy ride along their marriage journey, yet they seemed to emerge stronger initially.
Erica had previously shared that she wasn't planning to watch the reunion episode. In an exclusive chat with the Mirror, Erica confessed: "I don't think I'll even watch the reunion episode. I don't think I'll be able to watch it, I think MAFS has had its moment for me.
"I don't want to relive that again, it was hard reliving the show while it was on. I say I won't watch it but I definitely will but I'm dreading it. As soon as I start getting these comments and I'll be like 'Right I need to watch it to see what everyone's talking about'". Last year, it was claimed that Erica had accused Jordan of being unfaithful to her after he was seen in a taxi with another woman. He later clapped back stating that the "accusation of him cheating was completely false."
