The pair struggled to understand each other&#8217;s views and sense of humour on the show, leading to a series of rows and ultimately their separation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The pair skipped taking part in home stays week &#8211; where the couples each spend time with the other&#8217;s friends and family &#8211; and failed to attend the final commitment ceremony. They were later brought back separately to offer their own points of view to the experts on what went wrong.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Ashley and Grace on MAFS UK\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/0_mafs-uk-ashley-grace-clip.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p aria-label=\"MAFS couple Ashley and Grace had a rough journey \" class=\"ImageCaption_caption-title__ccyQU\" data-testid=\"caption-title\">MAFS couple Ashley and Grace had a rough journey (Image: E4)<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;Whenever I tried to speak about what was happening, I felt Ash was quick to deflect,&#8221; Grace revealed, referring to previous commitment ceremonies. &#8220;I lost my voice almost, I didn&#8217;t feel confident in what I was saying,&#8221; she continued.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">On the other hand, Ashley alleged that Grace labelled him a &#8220;misogynistic, not great guy,&#8221; adding: &#8220;I felt like there&#8217;s not much more I can do here to get her to see who I am.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Addressing his decision not to attend any of the reunion episodes, including the most recent, Ashley opened up to his followers in a lengthy video posted to <a aria-label=\"\" class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/all-about\/instagram\" rel=\"follow nofollow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\" target=\"\">Instagram<\/a> last night (March 3). He revealed that while things had initially been &#8220;civil&#8221; between he and Grace, he felt he had later been painted to be a &#8220;monster&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;The first reunion isn&#8217;t long after the show, so after dealing with that I was like no, no way. And our story had ended there anyway so there was nothing to add. I genuinely only went on there to meet my person, didn&#8217;t. Didn&#8217;t see any benefits in doing the reunion,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Ashley and Grace MAFS UK\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/75817_23_S10_Ep23_Married-at-First-Sight-UK-S10-Ep23-1.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p aria-label=\"The pair failed to see eye to eye\" class=\"ImageCaption_caption-title__ccyQU\" data-testid=\"caption-title\">The pair failed to see eye to eye(Image: Ellie Merridale\/Channel 4)<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;The second reunion.. I don&#8217;t know if I should say this, but I&#8217;m going to anyway. Have I changed as a person? Is it because I&#8217;ve been on telly that I think I&#8217;m important, or was that reunion f*****g awful without me?<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;But yeah, so with the way that everything had gone, my view on it was why on earth would I put myself back into that situation and I just wouldn&#8217;t. There was no way I was doing it. That&#8217;s basically it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">His followers were quick to share their messages of support, including former MAFS UK star Hannah Norburn who commented: &#8220;Proud of you.&#8221; Meanwhile another show fan remarked: &#8220;I found the reunion stressful to watch, never mind being there! I hope you&#8217;re feeling a bit more distanced from the drama of it all now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">All episodes of Married At First Sight UK are available to stream on Channel 4&#8217;s catch-up service.
