Drama is exploding off-screen for Married At First Sight UK’s Reiss, as an alleged ex-girlfriend drops a bombshell accusation: he was still dating her when he secretly signed up and started filming the E4 matchmaking experiment. The Essex-based groom, who tied the knot with bride Leisha on the show, is now facing backlash for his shady antics leading up to his televised nuptials.
Already linked to TOWIE sensation Dani Imbert—who confessed to having “unfinished business” with Reiss just before his wedding—Reiss is under even more fire. This latest accuser, known on TikTok as @kissedclinic, spilled the tea in a viral video, claiming she was in a full-blown relationship with the model right up until he vanished without a trace. Shockingly, she revealed she even spent the night in his bed the evening before his mysterious exit.
Instead of coming clean about his upcoming TV marriage, Reiss allegedly fed her a total fabrication: he was heading off on a solo trip to Bali. In her “Storytime” video, the aesthetics nurse didn’t hold back, staring into the mirror as she exposed his deceit. “So many people have asked now, so I feel like I have to do a story time,” she began. “Reiss said he was going to Bali—not to go and get married. And I stayed at his the night before… he didn’t mention it.”
“But that wasn’t the only lie,” she added cryptically, “so I’m glad it’s all out now.”
To back up her claims, she shared screenshots of her exchanges with Dani Imbert, pulling back the curtain on Reiss’s web of deception. Dani jumped in with her own jaw-dropping response: “IM SCREAMING, I think we were sharing the same man. He makes me ill what a clown,” complete with laughing-crying emojis.
Reiss’s ex fired back: “Omgggg his ‘Bali’ trip wasn’t the only lie.” Dani then spilled more: “Babe he told me he couldn’t see me the week of him flying because he ‘needed to get his head straight’—must’ve just been with you.”
The two women bonded over the absurdity, with the ex adding: “Honestly couldn’t make it up if we tried. As if we weren’t going to see the show.”
This revelation follows another TikTok from @kissedclinic, captioned: “When all your clients keep talking about Married At First Sight… and the guy you were dating up until the night he left is on there but you’re just tryna stay out the drama.” Though she didn’t name him outright, fans quickly connected the dots to Reiss, noting his Essex roots and apparent “type” in partners.
As the scandal swirls, Reiss has stayed silent on social media, refusing to address the allegations. Instead, he’s channeling his energy into the show’s Final Vows with Leisha, leaving viewers—and his alleged exes—hanging on for more twists in this reality TV nightmare.
