Married At First Sight UK's Kieran Chapman has made a "brutal" admission about his split from Kristina Goodsell.

The couple were matched on the E4 reality show, but Kieran admitted he found the speed of the process difficult and last week's letter reading ceremony had him expressing doubts. Following on from that, last night's (November 5) episode saw them call it quits.

After the episode aired, Kieran took on Instagram and explained in a post shared on both their accounts that he feels like breaking up was the right thing to do, as he believed she deserved better than him.

"Tonight me and @kristinagoodsell left the experiment," he wrote. "Is there a better wife on this series that I could have been matched with? No. Do I regret letting Kristina go? No.

"This sounds brutal, I know... but I wasn't the man for Kristina, and she deserves someone to put her on a pedestal. Someone who can give their whole self to her, someone who can support her through the highs and lows. But I'm afraid that just isn't me anymore. In the past absolutely, I wanted to be a healer, a helper, someone's world..."

He continued: "I'm not saying I'm the only one to ever go through really bad times in my life, not at all, but what I did go through has taught me exactly what I want and need from a partner, and although Kristina has a lot of gorgeous qualities, and is a beautiful human, I just can't be the support that she needs, and that's really sad.

"Obviously we signed up for a marriage, with the happy ever after and although it didn’t work, we are very good friends. She knows I’m on the other end of the phone if she ever needs me, and same vice versa."

He also apologised to Kristina for comparing her to his previous relationships and called their wedding day "the most magical day of my life".

He finished off his message by thanking Channel 4 for bringing Kristina "into all of our lives".
