Married at First Sight UK’s Gemma Rose has criticized her love rival Whitney Hughes for stealing from her husband Matt Murray.

The 31-year-old salon owner told MailOnline that she was “devastated” and that her feelings were “crushed” after Matt’s affair with Whitney came to light during an explosive dinner party.

Gemma insists Matt, 32, and Whitney, 31, who was married to Duka Cavolli, cheated because they were still in the experiment after her ex-husband claimed their relationship ended a few days ago.

In an exclusive interview, Gemma Whitney, who said during the show’s final engagement ceremony — where couples decide whether to stay in the process — criticized her for having no “sorry” and no guilt over the betrayal.

Gemma said, “I was devastated. My feelings were crushed because he knew I believed until we leave the experiment that we are still married, and you don’t… you treat each other with a certain level of respect until we break up.

Whitney doesn’t have a girl code. She’s not like any other woman I’ve ever met.

‘I certainly wouldn’t say we were friends, but within the experiment there had to be a certain amount of respect for each other.

“They dated a day before the engagement ceremony — if their relationship was real, why wouldn’t they wait for us to leave? I’m a girly girl and I think women should stay together.’

The E4 cast was taken on a mini-break to continue working on their marriage, but Matt and Whitney had other ideas.

After both admitted that they were in love and wanted to “swap” partners, the couple spent the night together and were intimate despite still being in a committed relationship.

Their affair was revealed at one of the show’s infamous dinner parties, where Gemma first discovered the couple’s romance blossoming right under her nose.

Despite Matt and Whitney being accused by their co-stars of “mocking” the show, the relationship experts have since decided to let them back into the process as a new couple.

Gemma said, “I only gave them an hour of footage because I left the dinner party. It touched me a lot more the next day, but when I got home I felt a wave of relief.

“I’ve always been a huge fan of Married at First Sight and respected the process…when I watched it, people really went for it. I wanted to be part of that.

“I never once thought the other people on the show would do it for the fame, but I was wrong.”

Gemma, a single mother of two and her own business, was convinced by the producers that her marriage would be a match made in heaven.

She even booked extra days off work in hopes of flying to Vegas to legalize her marriage to Matt, whom she met at the altar.

She said: ‘I was 30 when I signed up for the show and I was 30, had two kids on my own and ran a business – I put everything into having my own salon because it’s always been my dream.

“I feel like I missed the boat when I was married in my twenties, which was always very important to me.

“Matt was approached for me but was told by producers ‘this is a TV show, this is for drama, you are going to be in an experiment, it’s not a real marriage’, when they sold it to me as ‘you both want get married, this is a trial, if you leave this experiment, you can get married.

“I booked extra time off because I thought we were both going straight to Vegas!”
