Married At First Sight UK's Thomas Hartley is no stranger to Isharing details about his love life. But after a failed relationship with his ex Adrian Sanderson, who he met on the E4 reality show last year, the 31-year-old has been playing his cards close to his chest.
So we were delighted that Thomas, a mental health nurse from Liverpool, is exclusively spilling the beans about his new man, Rob Forber.
Calling them Liverpool's answer to Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly, the loved-up reality star tells new, "With June being Pride Month, I feel like I'm ready to share my relationship. I'm really proud of it.
"We met during Eurovision, also known as one of the gayest things on Earth, and I was in full drag when I met him."
Thomas says Rob, also 31, allows him to be himself, something he's struggled with in the past. "I've been completely honest in this relationship. I went into it with my heart on my sleeve.
"I get fed up with people really quickly, but I honestly haven't with Rob. He makes me feel comfortable and he lets me be who I am and there are no conditions attached. Being such an eccentric character, I needed someone who is extremely patient. I'll own that I'm high maintenance, but I do need someone who is able to accept me warts and all. That's what I love most about him."
After having agreed to marry someone he'd never before met and seeing it broadcast on national TV, Thomas says he has now learnt not to rush into things.
