"I was never angry with Rozz, just sad'

Married At First Sight UK favourites Rozz Darlington and Thomas Kriaras open up about their time in the TV show

- KENZI DEVINE

When florist Rozz Darlington said "I do" to Thomas Kriaras on Married  At First Sight UK, they quickly became fan favourites. After weeks of trying to make things work, there wasn't a dry eye in the house when Rozz emotionally ended the relationship in the show's penultimate week.

However, talking exclusively with new, the former couple assure us that they are the "real winners" as they left MAFS UK with such a close bond.

"We absolutely do love and respect each other and have a beautiful, amazing friendship.

We've both grown hugely as people through the experiment," says 28-year-old Rozz about her time with Thomas, 27, who works in investment communications.

Delving back into their journey, the duo update us on what has happened since parting ways, the pressure they felt behind the scenes, and how the show almost "broke" them...

Hi, guys! What has been the reaction to your MAFS UK story?

Rozz: It's fair to say the public hasn't been my biggest fan, which I understand. It's part of being on TV. But at the same time, I still have mental health and we are still human beings. During the show, I was so vulnerable, scared and upset. I was broken and the viewers try to break you even more. The outcome was horrible and I'm sorry from the bottom of my heart for the way it all happened, Tom. I was so worried about hurting you.
