MAFS Star Lacey Martin Breaks Silence
Lacey Martin, a cast member on Married At First Sight UK, has finally spoken out following Nathan Campbell’s claims in the reunion episode that she was orchestrating a romantic storyline (or “showmance”) on Monday.
Although the experiment had a promising outlook for the couple at its conclusion last year, they separated only a few weeks afterwards, following Nathan’s statement that Lacey suggested they were ‘more suited as friends.’
In some rather awkward moments, Nathan revealed that Lacey proposed maintaining their charade of a relationship to secure magazine offers. However, he countered by stating that he had blocked her on social platforms.
As Nathan tried to discuss Lacey’s actions with her, she declined engaging in a tit-for-tat argument. Instead, she pulled out a letter reflecting on their past relationship and subsequently had another disagreement with him during dinner.
In another uncomfortable instance, Lacey emphatically announced that she was departing, while Nathan and friend Kieran Chapman persistently questioned her about the rumors of their romantic relationship within the show.
Nevertheless, numerous guests seemed reluctant to pursue her, prompting Ella Morgan to query, “Will someone go after her?” Eventually, a few girls persuaded her to reconsider and stay.


On Instagram Stories, Lacey originally posted something (which she later removed), asserting that many aspects of Nathan’s real personality had been omitted. Specifically, she stated that Nathan declined to express good wishes towards her for the Race For Life event.
I want to express my gratitude to each and every one of you who has reached out to me. I’m astounded by the number of individuals who share similar experiences.”
This version conveys the same sentiment as the original, but it uses more natural and conversational language to make it easier for readers to understand.
‘I love you all and forever grateful.
A significant amount was left out! I wonder if you could have wished Nathan luck for the Race for Life, given that my mum had cancer.
‘What about Nathan agreeing saying he wanted to do a boy band and modelling and deals???
I asserted my rights, but all evidence of it seems to have been removed! Yet this is due to Nathan’s mental health concerns. Aren’t my feelings and actions also important to consider?
‘Sending everyone love sending me beautiful messages from start to finish, be mindful.’
As a loyal follower, I’d like to clarify a recent event: Although the reunion suggested that most couples hesitated to leave with Lacey when she stormed out, fellow bride Sacha Jones has been open on her Instagram Stories about the actual circumstances.


Originally posted, later reposted by Lacey, reads: “For clarity, Lacey Martin mentioned she had to depart due to her mental well-being. We suggested she stay, but she chose to go anyway.
Since no one dared approach her, and I always stand firm on not persuading someone to remain in an unhealthy situation.”
In this version, the sentence structure has been slightly rearranged for clarity, and the phrase “I’m not convincing” has been replaced with the more common idiomatic expression “I always stand firm on,” which conveys a similar meaning.
She is aware that I stood by her side, even going as far as defending Lace when there was no need for Kieran to join in. To put it simply, she recognizes my support, particularly on occasions like this. Additionally, I cherish both Nath and Lace equally.
Later, Lacey posted a series of encouraging remarks from her supporters on Facebook. Then, she expressed gratitude for the thoughtful messages sent by her fans.
Contrary to expectations, as one of the few couples who endured the entire experiment, news surfaced last November that they had actually parted ways in secrecy.
The 24-year-old engineer and the 27-year-old office manager from Somerset and Hertfordshire, respectively, had an easier time on the show than some of their colleagues because their union was less complicated. (Or: The 24-year-old engineer and the 27-year-old office manager from Somerset and Hertfordshire were fortunate to have a relatively smooth partnership on the show compared to other cast members.)
During the lively reunion dinner, Nathan confessed to the group that Lacey had suggested they carry on their relationship for the sake of fame and media attention, possibly even magazine contracts.
With a heavy heart, he expressed: “When it concluded, I felt deeply sorrowful. I had truly believed that our marriage would endure for eternity.
In a surprising turn of events, Lacey shared that it was Nathan who prevented further communication, leaving her with the impression that he had abandoned the situation.
‘Him just blocking me like I’m nothing hurt me, I just tried so hard.’
While conversing with his fellow actor Kieran, Nathan shared his observation: “Following the trial, she underwent a significant transformation.
Week after week, I eagerly anticipated our meetings, but she never reciprocated the effort during our relationship – not even once. Then, she casually suggested, “Let’s just be friends,” a statement that left me emotionally shattered and feeling like she had torn my heart from my chest.

She concluded that it would be more appropriate for them to be friends, as it felt somewhat lopsided. This situation seems to lack authenticity.
Afterward, he stated: ‘Just a short while later, she contacted me and mentioned that a year brings about magazine offers and similar opportunities, often referred to as staged relationships.’
She texted me, revealing that she proposed a fictitious relationship as a means to gain additional chances and earn more income, which I declined.
‘It’s a bit embarrassing, I don’t really want to talk about it to be honest.’
His pals were shocked as he shared the news with them.
Last November The Sun reported that the duo secretly called it quits after filming ended.
According to the source, at one point Nathan and Lacey had been attempting to sustain their relationship outside of fantasy, yet it eventually lost its spark over time.
Initially, the final vows were captured in February. They were thriving by April during the reunion filming. However, since then, they’ve decided to part ways.
‘They were both sad it didn’t work out, but sadly it wasn’t meant to be.’
