Divorce fears for Bristol man who married stranger on Channel 4 show Married At First Sight

There are fears a Bristol man who married a complete stranger for a Channel 4 show could be heading for divorce - just a few months after the wedding.

Married At First Sight star Steph has prompted fears she is divorcing Bristol man Jonathan.

The pair married on Channel 4 show Married At First Sight, which returned for a third series last week with four new singles marrying a total stranger.

Nurse Steph, 28, from Yeovil, walked down the aisle with 39-year-old Bristol-based property manager Jonathan.

The wedding took place late last year, but Mirror Online has reported Steph ditched her wedding ring just weeks later.

She's been pictured wedding ring-free as early as December, with later snaps taken in January and February also showing her without the band on her left hand.

When the show debuted last week, Steph attended a viewing party with her mates and she was still without her ring - and without her husband.

In a further hint about her marital status, Steph posted a message two weeks ago suggesting she's still looking for her perfect man, describing her ideal mate as "a mix of movie hardman Tom Hardy and Idiot Abroad Karl Pilkington".

Steph and Jonathan are one of two couples matched up on this year's series, but viewers are already convinced there won't be a happy ending for them.

One wrote: "Oh dear, Steph is not over the man who broke her heart. That doesn't suggest she's ready to get married #marriedatfirstsight."

Dating experts put the couples together using a number of different tests to prove their compatibility and the participants agree to exchange vows with their ideal match.

They don't even get to see what the other looks like until the big day.

The ceremony is legally binding and they jet off on honeymoon before moving in together to see if they can make the marriage work.

As of this year, none of the couples from the UK show have stayed together as they've all opted to divorce.

The other couple matched this year are Jack and Verity.

Viewers will have to wait and see if any of the brave singles manage to find true love.

Channel 4 has been approached for comment.

Married At First Sight returns tonight at 9pm on Channel 4.
