We all remember the Sara cheating scandal. It caused her and bestie Eden to end their friendship for good, when Eden revealed to the group Sara had met up with her ex during filming, when she was married to Tim. Then there was the whole did they or didn’t they hook up just before the show drama, and it all ended in a lot of screaming over dinner party tables.

Despite everything, Sara and Tim lasted to the final vows, and split shortly after. Now, Lauren has said there was a scene during the time when the cheating scandal was coming out that didn’t make it to air.

Speaking to Popsugar Australiain an Instagram Reel, Lauren said part of the dinner party where it all kicked off was cut. “The entire table took their opportunity to start yelling at [Sara] and having a go at her, which to me was insane – because most people didn’t say a word to any of the guys when something came up – but as soon as it was Sara, everyone jumped down her throat,” she said.

Lauren went on to say other members of the cast had their microphones muted, so it looked as though Sara was “yelling at everyone”. She said: “They muted the rest of the table’s mics to make it look like she was yelling at everyone, which was not the case.”

Lauren then convinced Sara to leave, which she did, and Lauren said she thinks MAFS didn’t air this because producers didn’t want the viewers to turn on her for supporting Sara.

“I actually ended up pulling my mic off, she pulled hers out and we stormed out, and I was the one that was kind of like, ‘Let’s get the f**k out of here’,” Sara said.

“They didn’t show any of my reactions, they didn’t show me speaking, and I think they did that because [the] god fairies in the editing room were worried that if I was kind of defending her too much, then the audience would turn on me. I wish that they showed me defending her, because that’s what should’ve happened from everyone else.”

After leaving MAFS Timothy and Lucinda were firm friends, frequently posting pictures together and calling almost every week to catch up.  However, after Timothy posted a cryptic TikTok it then appeared that he and Lucinda had blocked each other, with her later confirming he’d blocked her on socials.

MAFS Australia cast member Eden appeared on Yahoo! Lifestyle’s Behind The Edit podcast to discuss the falling out between Lucinda and Timothy. She revealed that she had spoken to Lucinda “a bit” about the feud and knows she’s “pretty upset”  by the whole thing. She explained:”But I’ll leave that for Lucinda to speak on. I think Lucinda’s pretty upset by it. I think she really wants to stay friends, as far as I know.”

As for whether Eden was just as surprised as we were to learn the duo’s friendship had ended, she confessed: “Yes and no. I really did think they’d be friends for life, but Timothy’s pretty rogue sometimes. He’s got really strong opinions, and good for him, but he’s pretty certain.

“If he thinks this is wrong, then it is wrong, and he goes hard on that. So I guess if he has an opinion on something, he’s just gonna go for it.” I’m sensing some serious drama vibes.

But since their time on the show has come to an end, what have they all been up to since we last saw them? From winning awards and starring in new reality TV shows, to still being bitter about their breakup there’s a lot of variety. So let’s find out everything the chaotic cast of MAFS UK 2023 has been up to!

Georges

A post shared by Georges I Online coach/Content Creator (@georgesbert)

I honestly miss seeing Georges on MAFS UK every night and he was 100 per cent one of the most iconic cast members. Since leaving MAFS he and Peggy went through a pretty messy breakup, with lots of allegations being thrown on both sides.

Georges seems to be living his best single life though, and recently attended his cousin’s wedding in Santoni which looked absolutely gorgeous. He also revamped his business called GB Fitness & Health, which focuses on helping middle aged men and women achieve their fitness goals. And of course, Georges still regularly streams although the frequency of the baguette squats seems to have lessened since his MAFS days!

Peggy

Peggy also seems to be recovering well from the breakup, and I genuinely don’t think I’ve ever seen someone attend as many influencer events as she does – get that bag! Amidst all the glitz and glamour cast member Peggy was associated with during MAFS UK, she also helped out at a UK Pokemon event, who knew she was such a fan?

Shona

A post shared by Matt Pilmoor (@mattpilmoor)

Shona and Matt have been in a relationship since the second MAFS UK reunion, and whilst the two cast members were originally matched with other people they seem so happy together.

The two attended their friend’s wedding on the Greek island of Paros together and it looked like something out of a dream. Shona also attended a solo yoga retreat in Spain and recently spent months training for the London marathon which she absolutely smashed!

Luke

Luke was booted off MAFS UK early after getting involved in a fight with fellow cast member Jordan and since then he’s actually gone back to his day job. He doesn’t seem to attend as many events as the other cast members do and keeps his social media fairly low-key. Having said that he did just return from a holiday to Majorca that looked stunning.

Jay

A post shared by Jay Howard (@jay_howard)

Jay has had a busy year since appearing on MAFS UK, being awarded multiple awards and becoming an ambassador. She recently announced she had become an ambassador for Reach, which is the UK’s leading limb difference charity. Reach helped her parents when Jay was younger, so the position is even more special to her.

Jay also received an award at the Power of Women 2024 event for Disability Advocacy which is an absolutely amazing achievement. In an Instagram caption she revealed her actual birth name isn’t actually Jay at all, but Samantha, with Jay being her real name! Most importantly, Jay is still besties with Ella and the two hang out together all the time, and frequently post adorable pictures together.

JJ

A post shared by Katie Price (@katieprice)

Surprisingly JJ got into a relationship with Katie Price soon after MAFS UK ended, and they seem to still be going strong. They’ve been on lots of fancy looking holidays and concerts together, and Katie’s been very vocal about wanting to have more kids with JJ. He’s also been continuing to his clothing business Fully Blessed.

Ella

A post shared by ELLA MORGAN (@ellamorganc)

Ella’s been up to an absolute ton of exciting things since the show ended, including winning awards and starring on new shows. She won Highly Commended in the Media Moment of the Year category at the Bank of London Rainbow Honours Awards 2024.

She’s also set to appear on the newest season of Celebs Go Dating, and in the process has become BFF’s with co-star Stephen Webb from Gogglebox. Whilst she was known for her plum pout on MAFS UK, shes since had a lot fo work done to create a more natural look and has had most of her filler completely removed.

Adrienne

Adrienne is living her best single life and has started organising very wholesome group hikes in Liverpool for people who want to make new friends. She recently celebrated her birthday, with her and Erica jetting off to the Caribbean for the occasion.

Matt

Matt is also loving his new relationship with Shona, and frequently posts very cute pictures and captions about her on his Instagram. Aside form travelling with her he’s also about to launch his own website and app through which he’ll offer online fitness coaching.

Erica

A post shared by ERICA ROBERTS (@ericarobertss_)

Erica has to be one of my favourites from the 2023 season, and since her breakup with Jordan, she’s absolutely thriving. She accompanied Adrienne on her birthday Caribbean trip and is still working in social media for local businesses around Edinburgh. She’s become besties with Meryl Williams from The Traitors and recently dyed her hair a stunning shade of red that looks stunning.

Jordan

A post shared by Jordan Gayle (@jordanrmgayle)

Despite the fact he and Erica broke up in February, it seems Jordan still isn’t over talking about her on podcasts. Just this week he spoke about her making TikToks talking about exes, which he assumed was about him.

Erica wrote in the replies: “You are genuinely clutching at straws here. Did I not message you 3 weeks ago to clear up that my TikTok’s were NOT about you as I’d seen you on multiple podcasts trying to run with this false narrative, so why are you still going please stop flattering yourself. I’ve not spoke about you or the break up once online you’re the only one still yapping on. If I wanted to talk shit about you I’d have ran to the sun like you did and got a paycheque out of it. Please go heal and move on.” Yikes.

Paul

Paul and Tasha are still going strong and are the only original MAFS UK couple to still be together. He’s still boxing frequently and attended the BAFTAS alongside Tasha where they both looked dressed to the nines.

Since then Tim has posted another video explaining the situation, and now MAFS fan favourite Lucinda has finally broken her silence about their feud. Following speculation the two had blocked each other after all their joint pictures together became untagged, Lucinda has now confirmed that Timothy blocked her first.

A post shared by Lucinda Light (@lucindaslight)

In an interview with The Daily Mail, she revealed his decision to block her but graciously admitted: “There are no hard feelings on my end. My arms and doors are always open to him.” Speaking to Yahoo Lifestyle, one fellow MAFS Australia 2024 cast member said the fallout is because Lucinda is now “too busy” to give as much time to her friendship with Timothy.

Timothy posted a cryptic TikTok

@timsmith070

Look people, just a bit of a Sunday morning thought I hope everyone’s having a great long weekend and if you’re not tomorrow will be better. Don’t be afraid to just take a day or two out it’s okay#life #mensmentalhealth #struggle #australia #chalangeyourself #challenge

♬ You Are the Reason (Cover) – Joe Tamaela

Timothy posted a TikTok over the weekend, which might suggest what’s going on in his life that has caused the friendship cull. In it, he said: “As I went about my day yesterday, it made me think about time and how valuable time is. If people don’t respect your time – and respect is a big word – if they don’t appreciate or respect the time that you give people, cut them out. Get rid of them.

He then addressed their feud in more depth

@timsmith070

Okay, I hope this clears up a few questions if it doesn’t let me know but you know that you’re not gonna get everything. Enjoy the sun everybody and have a great day#life #struggle #chalangeyourself #mensmentalhealth #live #lost #challenge #changing #australia #bigdreams #changing

♬ original sound – Tim Smith

In a new video posted yesterday, Timothy explained his fallout with Lucinda: “We sign up on a contract on MAFS where you get to see everything in our life, nothing is off limits. That’s the authenticity, If you stick with it, and let everyone see everything the show can be a really positive thing.

“So whatever has happened behind the scenes, I’m always going to keep that private. And in regards to the online articles about jealousy and about this and that they are all off the mark. But in saying that I will keep ‘why’ private. There are only three or four people that know. And that’s where I’m going to leave it. I wish Lu all the best in the future and there is no question that sometimes people’s paths take different directions. And that’s where it is.”

Sara was continuously asked by the experts why she lied to Tim about meeting up with her ex during the filming of MAFS, and she never gave a completely straight answer. At the time she promised nothing happened between the pair and she hadn’t even known he was also going to be at the event she was attending. In a new interview on the So Dramatic! podcast, Sara has finally admitted to the real reason why she lied to Tim about her secret MAFS meetup.

Via Channel 4

Sara revealed to host Megan Pustetto that she considered her ex as one of her friends, and didn’t think it was necessary for Tim to know. She admitted: “My ex and I have the same group of friends. I’d only been in Australia for eight months to a year when I met him and I didn’t have a lot of friends. I ended up becoming close with all of his friends, and when we broke up, I stayed close with them.”

She went on to reveal that she knew if she told him, her confession would become a key storyline which she didn’t want to happen. She confessed: “If the producers knew I was going out with my ex, they’d make it seem like something it wasn’t. On reality TV, we have to think about how things will look. So I thought about it that way. I was like: ‘If I tell Tim, it’s going to be a conversation he’s going to want to have on camera’. And I wanted to avoid this because it didn’t mean anything. It just meant my ex was in town and I was with his friends who are my friends as well.”

Via Channel 4

However, after everything that happened during filming, Sara admitted she wished she had told Tim about seeing her ex, but struggled at the time to let go. She explained: “I wish I’d said something at the start. I find value in the people I’ve spent a long time with. I find it hard to let go of people. Not in the way where I’m still in love with them. Just in a way that I spent so much time with them that I feel like they’re still a part of my life and should be.”

And despite still insisting nothing physical happened between herself and her ex, Sara conceded that she did emotionally cheat on Tim during the experiment. She admitted: “I would call it an emotional cheat because I lied. And that’s something I’m acknowledging. If you have to lie to the person you’re trying to build a relationship with, you’re not doing something right. I felt shitty about it. I [lied because] I didn’t want it to become a storyline, but it did.”

It was only a couple of months back the two were apparently planning a wedding, but rumours last week started to circle that Katie Price and JJ were on the rocks and now a flirty little comment on Jack Grealish has people thinking The Pricey might be looking elsewhere.

Speaking on her podcast The Katie Price, which she hosts with her sister Sophie, the two discussed how they thought it was weird Jack Grealish isn’t in the England squad this year for the Euros. Katie said “Well… we won’t be seeing those legs then, will we?” Both Katie and Sophie burst into laughter, with Katie adding: “That’s all I’m saying on that.”

Katie also said”Being a WAG would be amazing, full stop, wouldn’t it?” Before saying she feels like there isn’t really a footballer who’d have her.

The flirty Grealish comment comes after another comment made on the podcast that had people thinking things are on the rocks between Katie Price and JJ. When discussing her plans for JJ’s birthday, Katie Price talked about how JJ and her son Junior actually have the same birthday.”It’s Junior and JJ’s birthday – their birthday is on the same day – the JJs, how weird is that?”

Sophie asked what the two of them are going to do to celebrate, saying “Oh yeah, what are you doing for that? ” To which Katie quickly responded: “Doing my audiobook all day.” Right… Not really the romantic antics you’d get up to if all was well in lovesville.

The signs of the feud first emerged at the MAFS Australia reunion, where Cassandra called Sara “fake” and it kind of just came from nowhere and we didn’t get much context. Thankfully, in a new podcast appearance we actually have some explanation of where this all came from.

Speaking on the So Dramatic podcast, Sara explained that the feud all started because she cancelled a date with Tim because she was feeling too hungover. “I felt bad because I’d cancelled on him before. He said: ‘Of course, don’t worry about it.’ But he was acting like he wasn’t fine.”

When Sara tried to get Tim to talk about it more, he said he didn’t want to because he was going on a walk with Cassandra and Tristan. Sara basically thinks that on this walk Tim would have been absolutely raging and slagging Sara off to the two of them, and Cassandra chose his side in the saga.

“This is probably where Cass’s hatred started,” Sara recalled. “Tim would’ve vented about me cancelling three dates”.

It’s all so messy. Especially because Sara and Tim are still fighting now.

Tim recently did a Q&A on his Instagram reflecting on his time on the show, his relationship and what lessons he learned, and most of his answers not-so subtly threw shade at his ex Sara and how bad their relationship was. He then made some digs at Lauren Dunn, and she posted a very indirect TikTok in return.

Firstly, someone straight up asked Tim if he regretted going on MAFS Australia. “Not as a whole. It was a pretty good experience. I had tonnes of regrets throughout the show, though haha,” he replied. He was also asked why he went on the show, and said: “Wanted to shake up my life, careful what you wish for.”

Despite not finding love whilst matched on the show together, Lucinda and Timothy had a firm friendship after the show. They said they had built a special bond together, and were still hanging out and were part of each other’s lives when the show finished.

However, this week it was reported the pair had unfollowed each other on Instagram and were no longer talking. The pair have also been untagged in photos they had together, which actually suggests they’ve blocked one another, not just unfollowed. Yikes!

Timothy posted a TikTok over the weekend, which might suggest what’s going on his life that has caused the friendship cull. In it, he said: “As I went about my day yesterday, it made me think about time and how valuable time is. If people don’t respect your time – and respect is a big word – if they don’t appreciate or respect the time that you give people, cut them out. Get rid of them.

“Because, time is the most valuable commodity that we have. We give it out so flippantly for free, and if you don’t respect it and appreciate it, then get rid of them. Don’t let anyone waste one minute of your life and time because if they don’t respect it, they don’t deserve to have it. It’s just my thoughts.”

This TikTok was posted on Sunday night, and then it’s believed Lucinda unfollowed the next day. Speaking to Yahoo Lifestyle, one fellow MAFS Australia 2024 cast member said the fallout is because Lucinda is now “too busy” to give as much time to her friendship with Timothy.

It’s been reported Lucinda is going to “make millions” from her MAFS fame, and places are literally fighting to get her to work with them. She’s said to be in talks with TV channels, and has also had offers to publish her own spiritual guides and self help books.

She has also launched her own subscription service, and is currently doing a UK tour. It’s true, she’s very busy!

The couple broke up last year, having just celebrated their one year anniversary as husband and wife. It was a shock to us all as we were really rooting for them as a couple, but at the time, they did say they’d reunite if the time felt right.

At the time, they announced the news in a statement which read: “After a lot of thought and consideration, we have sadly decided to both take time apart. We still care very deeply for each other and this doesn’t mean our lives can’t come back together, but as of now, we think this decision is for the best.”

Now, Melinda has spoken in depth about their split, and has admitted things didn’t end well for them. During an Instagram Q&A she said they are no longer in contact since the breakup in October.

via Channel Nine

“We don’t currently talk, no,” she said. “Things didn’t get left on the best terms. From my side, it was best to stop contact.” She said the split is still “hard to talk about” and added: “I believe that we went through enough to still be amicable if we ran into each other if we needed something from each other.

“I still like to protect him when I see something online. I will still go at a troll if I need to protect him. But in regards to actually talking to each other, we don’t. When we broke up, I stopped contact, and that was just for me and my mental [health] because everything was just all a bit too much.”

However, Melinda did say she still thinks about Layton, and would “never say never” to getting back together. “You don’t know what could happen in the future, and some days I’ll catch myself thinking about Layton or thinking about if time will change anything,” she said.

“But again, I haven’t heard from Layton, so I don’t think anything’s happening right now. Sorry to break it to you guys.” My whole heart is breaking!
