He appeared on the 10th season of the show.
Married at First Sight UK star Bailey Smith has confirmed that the name he used during his his eventful stint on the show isn’t his real name. Appearing on the 10th season of the E4 reality series, Bailey was coupled up with Rebecca “Bec” Fenney during the experiment. The pair made it all the way to the final vow ceremony where they agreed to stay together.
It was sadly confirmed earlier this month that the duo had separated following the conclusion of the season, and Bailey spoke to BBC Radio Sussex about his time in the experiment as well as revealing that his real name is actually David Bailey.
“The secret is out of the bag now,” he quipped, before talking about his relationship with Bec. “I have loved every minute of it. But it’s been tough. Going through heartbreak in the public eye has been quite difficult.”
“It took me a while to take the ring off, [if] I am honest. I can’t say too much because there’s another reunion coming up at some point,” added the star, who said that he was still “very much single” as he goes through a “bit of healing time”.
Bailey recently addressed his break-up with Bec in a lengthy post on Instagram, writing: “We tried our best to navigate life after the experiment, and although we spent a lot of great time together on the outside, unfortunately the relationship came to an end.
“I still have a lot of love for Bec and I’m grateful for the amazing relationship we shared. I had fallen for Bec completely and it really was a true love story. I won’t lie, watching us fall in love all over again on screen has been ridiculously hard to go through.”
“It’s something I’m still struggling with now. But I wouldn’t have changed any of it,” he continued, with the star also dismissing allegations that he had cheated on Bec during their relationship.
Bec also shared a post on social media following their separation, writing: “To answer all the questions…. Yes, he fumbled.” With a reunion special set to air next year, will more details be revealed?
