As Married at First Sight UK 2025 heads toward its explosive finale, tensions between couples are higher than ever. From emotional revelations to unexpected betrayals, Series 10 has been nothing short of chaotic — and now, contestant Leah Marie Tyrer is breaking her silence about feeling “blindsided” by her on-screen partner, Leigh Harris.

MAFS UK Drama: Leah and Leigh’s Relationship Takes a Turn
From the start, Leah and Leigh seemed like one of MAFS UK’s most stable couples — until the dinner parties began exposing cracks in their connection.
Fans were stunned during the final dinner party when it came out that Leigh Harris had shared a kiss with fellow bride Leisha Lightbody. Though both Leigh and Leisha insisted the kiss was “just as friends,” Leah didn’t see it that way.
The revelation not only created a rift between the two women but also sparked tension across the dinner table, leaving viewers questioning whether their marriage could survive the final commitment ceremony.
Leah Reveals What Happened Off-Camera on MAFS UK
Speaking to heatworld, Leah Marie Tyrer opened up about the disconnect between what was shown on TV and what happened when the cameras weren’t rolling.
“There were times when Leigh and I did the couple swap,” Leah explained. “While packing, she’d say off camera, ‘Let’s have a bit of fun, wind me up — let’s make it interesting.’ Because I liked her and wanted us to enjoy the experience, I went along with it. But then it kind of backfired.”
Leah went on to reveal that Leigh would later call the same behavior “disrespectful” — something that left her feeling completely blindsided.
“She told me off camera to have fun, then on camera, she’d say it was crossing the line,” Leah said. “It was confusing — but I try not to dwell on things like that too much.”
Her honesty has struck a chord with fans, who’ve praised her for staying composed despite the drama.
