EXCLUSIVE: Married At First Sight UK couple Brad and Shona SPLIT with the axed groom already in new romance

Axed Married At First Sight UK groom Brad Skelly and his bride Shona Manderson have split and he has already started a new romance – with a bridal model.

Brad’s marriage to Shona, 31, ended shortly after the TV personality was ejected from the E4 series by producers for demonstrating ‘controlling’ and ‘coercive’ behaviour.

MailOnline can reveal Brad, 27, didn’t waste a second back on the dating scene and is now in a relationship with Hollie Baldwin, 25, who he was seen passionately kissing at the VIP Scarefest launch at Alton Towers on Friday night.

Bosses made the decision to end Brad’s time on the dating series after concern grew among the experts including Mel Schilling that his attitude towards wife Shona was ‘toxic’ and ‘uncomfortable’ and he didn’t treat her as his ‘equal.’

The Grimsby-born groom was seen snogging new girlfriend Hollie, who on Sunday night confirmed her love for the father-of-one by sharing a photo of them together on her Instagram alongside a padlock emoji.

A source told MailOnline: ‘It wasn’t long after Brad was axed from Married At First Sight UK that he and Shona went their separate ways, it was clear from the process that their relationship was never going to work.

‘Brad and Hollie know each other from their hometown and connected instantly, they were kissing in front of the other MAFS UK cast on Friday night, they weren’t holding anything back.

‘Hollie didn’t pose for any of the official photographs at the launch event as Brad was keen not to give away that his marriage with Shona is over.

‘But they are an item and looked really loved up.’

Brad and Shona got married after meeting for the first time at the altar and instantly professed their love for each other.

After connecting over their spiritual beliefs, the couple started to face problems, which were highlighted by the show’s relationship experts.

Speaking on Australian TV, Mel described Brad’s actions as ‘uncomfortable’ and ‘toxic’ while confirming the show’s decision to end his time in the process.

With his scenes still airing on the prerecorded series, charity Women’s Aid spoke out about Brad, saying ‘controlling’ and ‘abusive’ behaviour is not acceptable.

Last year, the show cast financial advisor George Roberts, who was later arrested for alleged controlling and coercive behaviour, claims which he denies. 

Three ex-partners of George spoke out about alleged tendencies he displayed in a relationship and reportedly warned Channel 4 of his casting ahead of the series airing.  

The current series has also been hit by ‘fakery’ claims after contestant Nathanial Valentino branded the show a ‘sham’ and said producers went against his wishes in finding him a partner. 

He was matched with Ella Morgan, who is the first transgender contestant to sign up to the show, but Nathanial says he would have been better suited to someone who doesn’t smoke or has a history of working in the sex industry. 

Nathanial said: ‘The way some were treated on the show became very dark. Pretty much from the start it was a complete sham…’

And celebrity guests at the event were the first to try out the scare attraction, along with scare mazes.
