Yahoo News Married at First Sight's Nikita Jasmine breaks silence after being removed
Nikita James has broken her silence after being removed from Married at First Sight UK.
The 26-year-old was axed from the E4 programme due to an off-camera incident where security had to get involved.
"I am truly gutted to have left the show," Nikita told The Sun. "I loved every minute of the experience but it was a rollercoaster of emotions, and sometimes they got the better of me.
"But that's me as a person and I am truly sorry for any upset I caused during my time in the experiment. However, I will always stand up for what I believe in.
"I can be loud and lairy, I'll admit that, but I try to be a good person and have others backs. This can confuse people occasionally. But I do think I am misunderstood."
She added: "When I left the show I was ready to leave. I fully understand the reasons for my removal and am aware of the repercussions of my actions.
"The dinner party was very overwhelming and did become stressful.
"At the end of the day I am just a human being and I am never going to be perfect. I don't think anyone in this world is.
"I also think it is very important to remember that Married at First Sight UK is a social experiment and not everyone going into the process will fall in love."
Nikita continued: "I appreciate the amazing opportunity, I learnt a lot about myself and I would do it again in a heartbeat.
"The team on the show are so lovely and they really looked after me and I wholeheartedly appreciate their support over the past few months."
E4 previously released a statement about her "unacceptable" behaviour, stating: "The wellbeing of cast and crew is our utmost priority at all times throughout production and beyond.
"During filming, a situation escalated off camera and Nikita displayed a level of aggression that was unacceptable and breached our agreed code of conduct on behaviour.
"As a result, she was asked to leave the experiment. All involved have been offered support and Nikita has since apologised and resolved the situation with those involved."
Married at First Sight UK airs Monday to Thursdays on E4 at 9pm.
