Two Married At First Sight stars are 'refusing to film' E4 reunion shows

Married At First Sight's reunion specials have been thrown into chaos with two stars reportedly refusing to take part. One star is reportedly ghosting fellow participants, while another has outright refused to take part in the E4 show.

According to The Sun, Alex Henry has opted out of appearing in next week's episodes, and there's further disruption as a polarising bride will now be conspicuously absent from the reunion programme. Eve, a fitness coach hailing from Belfast who gained traction on MAFS UK, has reportedly ignored calls to join the reunion episodes.

Eve was labelled "toxic" by viewers for her actions, where she slept with Charlie on their first night together but later became distant during their honeymoon. After a series filled with fiery clashes, and with Charlie attempting to walk away from the show twice, the couple were seen trying to mend their televised marriage.

However, they eventually departed from the experiment. Nevertheless, it emerged shortly after the show concluded that Eve had entered a new relationship.

An insider revealed: "Producers were really hoping Eve would return for the reunion episodes to give some closure to her rocky relationship with Charlie and reflect on what went wrong. But she refused to film and hasn't been in touch with show bosses or the rest of the cast since.

"Eve clearly wants to move on from the show but it's a shame she didn't return to reflect on everything, especially after viewers were invested in her and Charlie's journey."

Meanwhile, Alex - who is still with wife Holly Ditchfield despite both leaving the experiment - has also avoided the reunion. The Sun reported that Alex did not participate in filming for the upcoming reunion episodes that air next week, and therefore will have made his final appearance on the show.

An insider told the publication: "Alex didn't film either of the two reunion episodes, which seemed really odd to the rest of the cast. It was unclear whether it was Channel 4's decision or his own, but there was a lot of chatter about it amongst the brides and grooms who expected him to be there with his ex, Holly."
