MAFS UK's Kieran responds to backlashChannel 4

Married at First Sight UK's Kieran Chapman has responded to a backlash against him with a new statement about his and Kristina Goodsell's relationship.

The couple have hit a rough patch recently, with last night's (October 30) letter reading proving especially emotional for the couple as Kieran expressed doubts about their relationship, admitting he needed time to think and that he didn't want to lead her on.

Taking to his Instagram page ahead of the episode, Kieran admitted that "this experiment is way more difficult than you can ever imagine".

"To be matched with a total stranger to work out if you can see yourself spending the rest of your lives together within a matter of weeks.. the emotions that you fast track through are unexplainable," he wrote.

"Tonight is HEAVY… @kristinagoodsell and myself pour our hearts out once again," Kieran added, before hitting out at people attacking him online.

"It’s really hard to stay strong when folk are talking utter bollocks about your life of the back of literal minutes of what we go up to. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… TV is edited."

He continued: "For any trolls that are trying their best to attack me online without even knowing me … make a list, write everything down what you don’t like about me… then roll it up into a ball and shove it up your arse.

"If you can’t say anything nice say nothing at all… we have all been brave enough to take part in this experiment and completely open up our hearts to the world… and until you’ve sat on that sofa facing the experts… and understand that TV is edited… you can.. not.. judge."

In other news, E4 has confirmed that the MAFS UK reunion shows will air in the next few weeks.
