Ella Morgan became one of the most talked about stars of Married At First Sight UK last year, and as she chats to us a year later, she tells us how the show has fundamentally changed her.
As well as discussing the shocking Channel 4 documentary Miriam: Death Of A Reality Star, about a trans woman who took part in a reality show in the style of The Bachelorette, the 30-year-old also tells us what she makes of ex JJ Slater and Katie Price’s romance and why she’s not here to “debate my existence”…
Hi, Ella. It’s been about a year since you started filming MAFS. What’s been your biggest takeaway from the show?
In my final vows I said, “I’m leaving here a strong, independent and proud woman.” I didn’t say “trans woman” because, although I’ll always be very open about my experience as part of my advocacy work and I’m obviously aware I’m a trans woman, I hope that one day we don’t have those labels. I promised myself at that moment I would work on my delivery and the way I communicate, and also work on my confidence and being by myself. I’ve done what Paul C Brunson, Charlene Douglas and Mel Schilling [the show’s gurus] said, and I’ve just focused on me – I haven’t been dating or anything.
How do you feel about yourself on the show when you look back now?
