MAFS star Ella – ‘I thought I had thick skin but the show was so emotional’

Married at First Sight star Ella Morgan, 29, has spoken out about the emotional toll the hit show has taken on her and hubby Nathanial Valentino.

Speaking to OK! Ella confessed: “I went into this thinking it's going to be a walk in the park. Boy, was I wrong. It was hard and I knew I had thick skin – I don't think I realised how emotional this would be.”

Ella and Nathanial, 36, had the dream wedding day, they hit it off immediately bantering at the end of the aisle.

“I just felt ‘right!” confirms Ella. “I was walking down the stairs and I was like, OK, so in a second I'm gonna see him."

“It was the best feeling and all of my nerves suddenly went. As soon as I looked at him in his eyes, I was like, I talk a lot, obviously, and I was just like, ‘Oh, I feel fine now’. I don't feel that nervous. I feel like I've known you forever.”

Post-wedding, Ella told her new husband that she transitioned years ago which only bonded them more. However, on their honeymoon, the pair’s romantic journey went south, after a blazing row on the beach which left fans concerned for Nathanial.

Ella teases their troubles are set to continue back in the UK and they have been confirmed as Nathanial has since slammed the show labelling it "a complete sham".

On them living together during the show, Ella said: “I think it's been a lot harder for him [Nathanial], coping with me, because I don’t have habits, but I'm very messy."

“He's an amazing cook so I didn't do any cooking. In fact, I didn't really do any of the chores. It made me a bit more lazy. I didn't even know how to use a washing machine!”

As we know from previous seasons, the dinner parties can be especially chaotic and Ella hints that she will be taking part in that in future episodes.

“There is drama. I'd maybe say I did play a part in some of it. I’m not pushing it on to anyone else, but I can't help it if someone doesn't like my honesty. Whether someone asks me for my opinion or not, if I feel like I need to give it.”

Ella continues: “I said to myself, from the get go of this, whether people like me or not, I have got quite thick skin and I've been called every name under the sun and I can deal with s**t. It was more the fact that I was scared I wasn't going to be true to myself.

“With any I felt like someone was wrong, whether it's my husband or anyone in there, I felt that before I went into this, I would have to keep my mouth shut and just be quiet and not say anything.

"But actually, I'm really proud of myself for being vocal and being honest and real.”
