Married At First Sight star dumped girlfriend of 11 years shortly before going on show

Married At First Sight couple Jordan and Alexis have had their romance rocked by allegations that he was in a long-term relationship until days before the show aired.

Allegations have emerged to suggest 27-year-old personal trainer Jordan had been in a relationship with a 26-year-old nurse for 11-years before he dumped her to feature on the explosive E4 show.

Viewers watched this week as Jordan, dressed in a blue suit, nervously swapped vows with 28-year-old Alexis – who stunned in a white wedding gown for their big day.

But in the aftermath of the episode, a woman has stepped forward via social media to claim Jordan had been dating her mate for more than a decade – and only dumped her two days before the new series aired.

And further to the bombshell claims made on social media, The Sun have suggested that Jordan and Alex: “have already split after he ran back to his girlfriend.”

The sensational claim follows allegations by a Twitter user who uploaded a string of photos of Jordan and his alleged former girlfriend together.

They wrote online: "Imagine having a stunning Mrs of 11 years and disappearing to film a tv show to get 15 mins of fame."

She added: "Jordon is an absolute clown."

Photos showed Jordan posing with a brunette woman – who on Instagram claims to be a 26-year-old nurse from Wales – on holiday and at graduation ceremonies together.

One shocked Married At First Sight fan replied to the social media posts to state: “What a trash man!!! You’re friend is beautiful!! Please say she has dropped him like a bad habit!!”

In scenes that aired on Monday nigth, Jordan was shown expressing his hopes of finding true love via the reality series.

He said: "My happily ever after would be to learn stuff about myself that I didn’t know before.

“I want to become stronger as a person and to obviously walk away with a partner and with some new friends."

Meanwhile, new-wife Alexis’s mum drew amusement from viewers when she described their wedding ceremony as “dry”.

Updating fans amid the accusations that the marriage is over, Alexis shared a snap of herself with her husband on Instagram.

She wrote alongside it: “What a wedding episode! Clearly my mum found the wedding boring. But Whats your thoughts on the experts matching me & Jordon together?”

And later, she shared images of herself with her bridal party, writing: “I honestly could not have done this process without the support of my nearest & dearest by my side. I love & appreciate you guys so much.”
