“I felt pressured, I felt like I was going to let everyone down," she added.

Kim’s mother Kris weighed in on what happened ahead of her daughter’s second marriage, which famously lasted 72 days.

Kris said she advised Kim to call things off, saying: “I said, 'Listen, if you really don't want to do this, I don't think you should do it.'

However, Kim admitted she was afraid of how people would react, adding: "I thought, 'OK, we're filming this for a TV show. If I leave, I'm going to be known as the runaway bride forever. It's going to be a huge joke.'"

Recalling the moment she knew she’d make a mistake, Kim said of her and Kris’ honeymoon: “I was like, 'Sh*t, I think I made the wrong decision.

“And then I went back to New York and I was miserable."

The mother-of-four went on to reveal that she felt her “first real marriage” was to Kanye West, who she filed for divorce from in February after six years.

Kim first got married at the age of 19 in 2000 to music producer Damon Thomas, with the pair later divorcing in 2004.
