Married At First Sight's Shona Manderson has been in a "secret" relationship with co-star Matt Pilmoor "for months". Shona, 31 who hails from Nottingham, took part in the latest series of MAFS UK which saw her matched with Brad Skelly.They had a whirlwind romance during their time on the show before it all came to blows and they were asked to leave the process early as their relationship was deemed "too unhealthy".They briefly dated outside of the experiment before calling it quits which prompted Shona to go on a "self-love journey" after claiming she was "completely blindsided".

But then she met Matt, 29, who was originally matched with Adrienne Naylor, at the MAFS reunion in June and the pair have been keeping their new romance under wraps ever since.

Beaming with happiness, Shona and Matt spoke exclusively to OK! to reveal their new relationship. Shona told us: "We have a really healthy, happy, safe, fun, relationship - I really appreciate Matt so much, it’s what I deserve, we deserve each other. "I’m proud to be his girlfriend and it just works." It's been almost five months since the new MAFS couple had their first date and they seem as loved-up as ever.

But it hasn't come without its challenges as they kept it a secret "for months" and had to be "so careful" while Matt was still on TV.
