I was on Married At First Sight – the fame got to my ex-husband’s head and destroyed our sex life, but there’s a reason I’ll always be grateful to the show

Married At First Sight British star Peggy Rose has opened up about her heartbreaking split from Georges Berthonneau, and how fame ‘went to his head’.

The pair seemed to be one of the few success stories from last year’s series, bettering Tasha Jay and Paul Liba.

But after the E4 show aired, Georges called it quits on their short-lived marriage, ultimately devastating Peggy.

The 32-year-old has now claimed their relationship failed because Georges became too obsessed with fame.

The couple got married after meeting at the altar on the E4 show

She explained how their marriage began to fall apart in December last year, shortly after the MAFS finale aired.

Peggy told The Sun: ‘Boys love attention, especially if boys haven’t had that attention before. I think they get a bit of a big head.

“He even said to me on the show that all his ex-girlfriends desired him sexually. Who says that?’

She said things got weird around Christmas and she felt like she had to follow her gut.

However, she ended up staying with Georges and they traveled to Paris to celebrate her birthday in January this year.

But their sex life suffered, and she confessed that it “didn’t feel the same” because Georges wasn’t interested in getting intimate, leading Peggy to believe that “something had happened.”

The couple called it quits in late January, but Peggy was left confused when her husband “didn’t want to make our breakup public because he didn’t want to deal with public opinion and attention” because he was “heartbroken.”

Peggy said she found out Georges was cheating on Valentine’s Day

She said they had issued a joint statement about the end of their relationship.

But weeks later, on Valentine’s Day, she made public the evidence that Georges had cheated on her.

The reality star received messages, photos and videos from someone who had seen Georges on two dates with another girl in December.

“You can’t cheat on someone and expect to get away with it,” she said. ‘I was devastated. I remember bawling my eyes out.’

Peggy then admitted that she felt like she had let her family down because they really thought they could trust Georges and even “love him” in the end.

She sadly confessed ‘it was my decision, my mistakes, and I made my bed so I have to lie in it’.

Peggy then told her that it took her “weeks” to come to terms with their divorce, but she wanted to be honest with her fans on Valentine’s Day.

The former rugby player has strongly denied the allegations of cheating

Despite the heartbreak, Peggy now believes so ‘the best thing that ever happened.’

She has found love again with a new man and he shares the same values ​​as her.

“He’s just a normal guy, he’s not a millionaire,” she beamed, revealing he also wants children.

“I was willing to stay with Georges even though he said he didn’t want children and children are very important to me… I just hope he is the one,” she added.

Georges has strongly denied the allegations of cheating against him.

He raged: “I never cheated on her, it was her actions that pushed me away – the actions we all saw on the show; gaslighting, manipulation, constantly putting me down. It’s boring now.’
