Married At First Sight star Shareen admits she gave up on marriage in just 48 hours

Married At First Sight star Shareen Geers has told how her marriage to David Pugh was over in just 48 hours.

The 47-year-old admitted her annoyance at being paired up with the 56-year-old as she chatted about their union with the Channel 4 show's psychologist.

During the discussion, that was aired on the final episode of the matchmaking show, Shareen fumed that she was incompatible with the sales director as she said that she knew that their marriage was failed from day two.

Shareen said: "From day two, I knew there was a fundamental difference between us.

"The whole prepping and bag thing in case something bad happens - I feel nothing for that kind of world or that kind of mindset."

The love expert told Shareen that David "didn't stand a chance" with her after she was apprehensive from the moment she saw him standing at the alter.

She told Shareen that the reasons she was matched with David was because she shared that she wanted a partner who was "kind, open minded and not egotistical".

Trying to defend her decision to not move the marriage forward, Shareen replied: "I live for the now. I'm in the present and he lives in fear of the future and past.

"On day two I knew where my mind was at. I knew this wasn't the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.

"Even though we have lots of things we like to do, I feel like we haven't got anything in common."
