Married At First Sight UK came to an end meaning Leisha and Reiss had a big decision to make - whether to stay together or split.

Despite visiting one another's homes, they both came to the conclusion it was time to end things.

Speaking at the reunion, Leisha said: "I am devastated that my marriage with Reiss hasn’t worked out. I still love Reiss, I think about him everyday."

Reiss shared his side and said: "Since leaving the experiment, Leisha came down to see me and then I went up to Scotland.“We had some cracking times and she is a beautiful girl inside and out.“But sadly we couldn’t make our marriage work and I haven’t seen Leisha since it ended.”

What happened to Leisha and Reiss on MAFS UK?

Wedding day

Married life got off to an awkward start for the newlyweds, as Leah's overexcited nature was too much for her new husband. He told cameras: "Leisha's vows...she's quite loud. A little bit over the top. That could drive me round the bend."

Honeymoon

Despite the rocky beginning, the couple jetted off to Thailand for their honeymoon. However, things took a dramatic turn when Leisha was rushed to hospital after being bitten on the face by a stray dog. Tensions flared when Leisha was left frustrated after she had to ask Reiss to accompany her to the hospital.

After clearing the air, it seemed like they had a breakthrough. Reiss admitted: "I like the stage I am at with Leisha, she's got a heart of gold".

At their first dinner party it seemed their romance was short-lived, as Reiss told the boys about their rough journey home from their honeymoon. He revealed Leisha got so drunk she was sick on herself - and later spent an hour chatting to a young man.

Despite their initial setbacks the couple both decided to stay at the following commitment ceremony.

Couple's retreat

Returning from the couples retreat, Leisha and Reiss felt stronger than ever. Leisha told the experts "Her feelings were massive" for Reiss.

The couple were going from strength to strength during homestays week, with Reiss telling his mum, “We’ve been getting on like a house on fire". Leah jokingly added, “We’ve got baby names on the go.”

Leisha says 'I love you'

One of the crucial points for this couple was Leisha's declaration of love and Reiss struggle to reciprocate.

Unable to respond to her constant affirmations, he said: "I'm not like that, I find it very unnatural." He did, however, say he had "strong feelings".

Honesty box

Things start to get deep as the experiment comes to an end and at their final dinner party, the Honesty Box was delivered. Leisha was asked what characteristic she struggled with the most in Reiss, she responded his "closed off-ish ness".

She added: "Just be honest in the moment.”

Leisha then asked Reiss: "Reiss how likely do you think it is we will still be together one year from now?”

He replied: “I just think there’s a lot riding on the next few months to see how we cope. I feel like if we can get on the same wavelength, if the arguments calm down and that kind of stuff, yeah I can see us together in a year’s time.”

Final vows

No one was expecting Reiss to stay committed to Leisha at the final ceremony but he surprised everyone as he agreed their marriage was far from over.

Dressed up and ready to make their final commitment to one another, E4 saw the couple express their concerns over whether their relationship was strong enough to go the distance. Leisha had already declared her love for Reiss with him moving at a slower pace.

But to the surprise of many, they both chose to stay together at final vows. Reiss said: "Your thoughtful, caring and beautiful nature is something I've always wanted in a partner. We have grown so much as a couple and as individuals, and I want to continue this blossoming marriage.

"It's been absolutely amazing to share this experience with you and I can't wait to see hat the future holds for us.'One thing I can promise Leisha is that our adventure is far from over."
