MAFS’ Georges – I would have picked Ella as my bride
Married at First Sight UK star Georges Berthonneau has admitted that another bride caught his eye during the experiment – clinic consultant Ella Morgan.
The 30-year-old was partnered with Peggy Rose on the show, telling OK! in an exclusive interview that while she was the perfect match for him, he was also interested in Ella – the show's first-ever transgender contestant.
“Peggy’s beautiful and actually, I wouldn’t have gone with anyone else. But if you put a gun to my head, I would have picked Ella,” he said.
“We would have gotten on like a house on fire. Ella and I spoke throughout and whatnot. She’s a hoot, me and her have a very, very similar sense of humour, very inappropriate, very outspoken, very outrageous.”
The content creator added that he was "shocked" when MAFS found him a partner as he was very "particular" with what he wanted in a wife.
"I wanted someone who's beautiful and beauty is in the eye of the beholder," he said.
The Surrey-based contestant has appeared on reality TV in the past, taking part in Celebs Go Dating and going on a date with The Only Way Is Essex star Chloe Sims.
When deciding to do MAFS, Georges said that he wanted to jump back into TV life to mark his 30th birthday. "I thought, 'do you know what? I haven't been on the box in a very long time and I could meet a lifelong partner here.' That's how I looked at it," he said.
Georges didn't get off to a great start on the show after fans condemned the comments about his bride's breasts. One viewer wrote on social media, "He is disgusting!" after the groom said he wanted a wife with a pair of "melons" or "mommy milkers".
Speaking about the reaction online, Georges said that he became "the most hated man" on the show.
"I haven’t tried to defend my actions. I’ve just gone ‘I’m sorry’ because what I said and did was a previous me, it was a very locker room Georges. And it wasn’t sensible," he said.
Meanwhile, Ella has been at the centre of the show's drama after pursuing a connection with groom JJ Slater, despite both being married to different contestants.
