Why did Ryan and Sionainn leave Married at First Sight UK?
Ryan and Sionainn delivered a bombshell to their Married at First Sight UK co-stars after an argument saw them decide to split and leave the experiment.
During Wednesday night's episode (23rd October), Ryan told fellow grooms that Sionainn didn't feel comfortable and didn't believe he was in the experiment for genuine reasons.
Ryan explained: "I'm leaving boys. We've had a proper argument and I was trying to do my laces. I was trying to retie my laces and it was getting on my nerves. So Shannon was trying to help me. So I said, 'Oh just leave them, just leave them now.'
"And she said, 'Oh don't speak to me like that.' She said to me she doesn't feel comfortable in the relationship and she doesn't know if I'm here for a genuine reason."
Explaining that they had a small argument about shoelaces, Sionainn told brides Emma and Lacey that they had a much bigger falling out that led to their exits.
Sionainn told the girls: "We had like a little fall out yesterday. And it was like, honestly over shoelaces, he just spoke to me really, really poorly.
"And I said, 'Ryan don't speak to me like that. You're not going to speak to me like s**t.' And it just flipped. He decided to tell me that none of his feelings had ever been real. He'd been faking it all. It was all a holiday romance for him."
Speaking to the cameras after the decision, Sionainn said: "I developed real feelings for Ryan and when he told me all his feelings were fake and he didn't mean anything that he said.
"I feel like I'd been hit in the chest with something, it was a horrible feeling. And I think now I've seen the real side to him. I don't even think I've known the real Ryan ever."
