Married At First Sight UK couple Alex and Holly had one of the most dramatic relationships of the 2024 series
Married At First Sight enthusiasts are on tenterhooks for the reunion episode, which is set to air tonight on E4 at 9pm (February 24). This season has had viewers riveted with its heady mix of romance, spats and high drama.
One couple that kept fans on their toes was Aviation Operations officer Alex Henry and Beautician Holly Ditchfield from the 2024 series. Their journey started promisingly with an apparent spark as they exchanged vows, but things took a turn when Holly discovered Alex’s backup plan to “wife swap” if he didn’t click with her.
Their honeymoon in the Maldives was marred by constant bickering, leading Alex to question his participation in the experiment. Despite his decision to exit the show, Holly expressed her desire to stay and salvage their relationship.
As per the show’s rules, both parties were required to remain since one of them wanted to work on the marriage. However, after trying to mend their relationship, Alex and Holly chose to leave the E4 show following the fifth commitment ceremony, ultimately parting ways.
Before his departure, Alex caused a stir by lashing out at several other women, leaving Holly incensed. In a conversation with Lacey about the incident, Holly confessed: “After the commitment ceremony we had a major argument because I just didn’t’ like the way you were spoken to,” reports the Daily Record.
“What upset the most is after, he said ‘what’s wrong with you? ‘ and I said ‘I’m really missing my children’ and he just said ‘f*** this, I can’t be ar*** with this’ and he just walked off.”
After their departure, whispers of a possible reunion began to circulate when they were seen hand-in-hand and sharing a smooch in Manchester. The duo even embarked on a road trip together and confirmed last November that they had rekindled their romance.
It remains a mystery whether Alex and Holly are still an item as they’ve been noticeably absent from each other’s social media feeds recently, but all will be revealed at the upcoming reunion.
