British Married At First Sight stars Ella Morgan and JJ Slater kiss behind their spouses’ backs and re-enter the E4 experiment as a couple.
MailOnline has revealed that first transgender contestant Ella (29) is cheating on her husband Nathaniel Valentino (36) with a groom who later enters the series.
In yet-to-be-aired scenes, Nathanial dramatically leaves the process, which sees couples tie the knot after meeting at the altar for the first time, following the revelation that Ella and JJ, 30, had been unfaithful.
After getting the go-ahead from the show’s relationship experts, Ella and JJ re-enter the series as a new couple, much to the shock of their castmates.
It follows the end of Jay-Jay’s marriage to wife Bianca Petronzi, 30, after she gave up on their romance when he showed no interest in her.

A TV source told MailOnline: ‘Ella and Nathaniel have tried to take their relationship to the next level but have agreed they are better off as friends.
“Nathaniel was so disappointed by Ella’s actions, he thought they had mutual respect for each other and that kissing someone else in the process went against his values.”
“Ella loved the attention she got from JJ because she missed it in her marriage to Nathaniel.
“After originally leaving the show when their marriages failed, Ella and JJ were cleared by relationship experts to return, which certainly upset the cast who took the process seriously from the start.”
On Thursday night’s show, sparks begin to fly between Ella and JJ, who both chose each other as the person they’d like to kiss next to their partner.
JJ has made it clear since marrying Bianca that she’s not his ‘usual type’, admitting during the show’s latest rite of passage ceremony that he prefers ‘girls who’ve had a lot to do’.
The pair didn’t even kiss, including on their honeymoon with the clothing brand owner insisting he wanted to take a fresh approach to his dating style on the show.
He said: ‘My normal type is a bit different to Bianca… it was like girls who have had a lot of work and they all look the same. In this experiment I wanted something deeper and more emotional.’

In Wednesday night’s episode, Terrence Edwards left the show and refused to give his wife Portia Pernell a second chance to make their marriage work.
He dropped out of the process after learning that Porsha had kissed four other men during a spin-the-bottle game, which he deemed cheating and led to a rift within the cast.
During one of the show’s most explosive dinners, Portia fell out with co-star Georges Bert, and the pair even argued in French, after he aired his views on her behaviour.
It’s the latest drama to emerge on the show after Nathanial claimed he was forced into a partnership with Ella and said he eventually quit because he felt like he was being ‘strangled’.
He told the Sunday Mirror: “I felt like I was being strangled and it showed an ugly side of me. I knew I was going to tear the place down, so I quit.’
He also branded the producers as “manipulative”, stating that his time on the show was “a complete lie”.
