In a bombshell revelation that will rock Married at First Sight UK fans, JJ Slater has exclusively disclosed that he secretly kept in touch with his original TV wife, Bianca Petrovic, following the dramatic collapse of his on-screen marriage and subsequent relationship with co-star Ella Morgan.
The fitness entrepreneur, who became one of the most controversial figures of the latest series, has broken his silence in a tell-all interview, admitting to feelings of guilt and regret over the way he treated the kind-hearted Bianca.
The Aftermath of a TV Wedding Gone Wrong
JJ's journey on the social experiment was nothing short of chaotic. After famously telling his assigned bride, Bianca, that he wasn't physically attracted to her, he pursued a relationship with fellow participant Ella Morgan, which continued after the show's finale.
However, the real story unfolded away from the cameras. JJ has now confessed that he and Bianca did not cut ties completely after their painful split. "We did speak afterwards," he revealed, hinting at private conversations where they discussed the whirlwind of events that unfolded on national television.
Regrets and Realisations
Slater didn't hold back on expressing his remorse for his actions during the experiment. He described Bianca as a "lovely, lovely girl" and admitted that his behaviour, particularly the brutal attraction comment, was "a shit thing to do."
"I do feel bad for the way I went about it and what I said," he stated, showing a level of introspection rarely seen during his time on the show. This newfound perspective suggests a significant personal reckoning with the consequences of his decisions.
A Fractured Future with Ella
The interview also tackled the current status of his much-publicised relationship with Ella Morgan. JJ confirmed the couple's split, citing the immense "pressure" that came from their very public beginning. The constant online scrutiny and commentary from fans ultimately took its toll, making a sustainable relationship nearly impossible.
His story serves as a stark reminder of the very real human emotions and fallout that persist long after the reality TV cameras stop rolling.
