Taking to social media, Dan said: “Hey guys! As you all know, we have been on an incredible adventure together the last two years and we have given ourselves every opportunity to make things work as a couple.

The couple’s split comes as a huge shock to many avid MAFS UK fans.
Just a few months ago, the seemingly happy couple spoke to OK! Magazine about their plans to have a real wedding in the future.
Matt revealed to the magazine: “We were at one of Dan’s friend’s weddings recently and we got chatting with a wedding planner. It’s definitely something we’re thinking about.”
He added: “I would love it and I know Dan would as well. But we’re in no rush, we’re embracing what we have together right now. We’ve gone through this immensely intense experience.”
