Thomas Hartley of Married At First Sight UK has revealed that he is no longer on speaking terms with ex-husband Adrian Sanderson.
During a steamy Christmas get-together last month, the 31-year-old reality star told her co-stars that their tumultuous friendship was at a bad time and the pair had cut off contact on social media.
And now he has told fans during a question-and-answer session that “the ship has fully sailed” and the couple are no longer on speaking terms.

The festive gathering for Married at First Sight UK turned into chaos on Sunday as the couples met for the last time.
Christmas dinner saw Chanita Stephenson and Jordan Emmett-Connelly come face-to-face for the first time since their split with the latest friend in brine and last season’s Nikita Jasmine as peacemaker.

Thomas’ revelation comes after he recently came out as pansexual. He claimed that he previously came out during the filming of the show, but it never aired.
He took to his Instagram two weeks ago to share a joyous video of him dancing alongside Beyonce’s Cuff It.
Captioning the clip, he wrote that he came out as pansexual, someone who is attracted to anyone, regardless of their sex or gender identity.
Congratulations! Married At First Sight UK star Thomas Hartley comes out as pansexual
Thomas said: ‘Coming out. I came out as gay when I was 15, however prior to the show I found I was attracted to all genders and became more gender fluid and liberated in my sexuality again, I now understand that I am pansexual.
“Although I resonate more with dating cis and trans men, I also find cis and trans women attractive.
I am at the beginning of this journey and I am more confident than ever.
‘Pansexuality is not difficult to understand, however rather than take offense, I prefer to help people understand and learn with resources and education.
It’s not the first time: The 31-year-old reality star claimed she previously came out during filming for the show, but it never aired.
Identity: He wrote that he came out as pansexual, someone who is attracted to anyone, regardless of their sex or gender identity.
‘Thank you for supporting me during MAFS and afterwards, you have contributed to giving me the confidence to live in my truth.’
She added, “I also went out on the homestay during my ex-husband’s homestay, but obviously they have to condense the hours of filming into one hour.”
She added pictures of pansexual definitions, saying, “Someone who can love a person for who they are, not who they are.”
Another said: ‘I’m pansexual. I am attracted to people regardless of gender (yes, there are more than 2 genders). No, I’m not into pans. No, this is not the same as bi.

Thomas’ coming out came the day before Married At First Sight UK’s Christmas reunion airs on Monday night.
Speaking about the special episode, Thomas teased that it will be “explosive” and revealed that he and a fellow cast member blocked each other.
He tweeted: ‘I’ll be watching the reunion tonight. It’s going to be a bit explosive and I’m sure there will be a lot to say afterwards. The clip where he says “he blocked me on everything”, that was mutual, he was sick of arguing.
‘We don’t talk, we won’t talk and I’m happier than I’ve ever been…’
He added: “Not everything is what it seems, not everyone is what they seem and everyone is moving on with their lives and I wish them the best.”
