We're barely apart we'll be together over Christmas

MAFS UK couples Tasha and Paul and Jordan and Erica open up about moving on after the show, whether they’ll marry in real life and their festive plans

Sitting down for a candlelit dinner in all their festive finery, the stars of Married At First Sight UK have certainly pulled out all the stops for our exclusive OK! Christmas shoot. Couples Paul Liba, 26, and Tasha Jay,

launching carrots across the table. It’s a scene of festive fun and happiness, and a million miles away from all the drama and tension we witnessed between them on the E4 series. In fact, if you didn’t know any better, you would assume that these four had always been the very best of friends.

Here, as we sit down with the two couples for an exclusive chat, they spill the beans on their Christmas plans, their regrets over the way they behaved on the show, and their intentions to get married for real.

How has life been since MAFS UK? Tasha:

It’s been amazing. It’s so nice to be able to actually focus on just our relationship now. Erica: It’s definitely been overwhelming — we’ve been able to enjoy our time together as a couple. You don’t have the opinions of everyone else anymore. It’s been more stress-free. Jordan: Now the show’s over, we don’t have to listen to any outside noise or inaccurate portrayals of us. I loved being on the show — there were a couple of arguments but we were so happy. When the show was airing, that was the stressful part for me. I hated it. Someone else was in control of how we were coming across and I really didn’t like that.

Have you moved in together yet? Paul:
