Married At First Sight UK bride Hannah Norburn cheats on her husband Stephen Nolson with another groom, MailOnline can reveal.
Hannah, 33, has an affair with co-star Orson Nurse, 41, who’s eight years her senior, and the betrayal is exposed by one of their fellow cast mates.
The couple’s fling happens behind the backs of their respective partners who are left blindsided by the revelation during one of the show’s upcoming commitment ceremonies.
Orson married Richelle, 48, and the couple had been attempting to make their relationship work before the engineer strayed.
Fitness business owner Hannah had confessed her feelings for husband Stephen despite putting his trust at risk on their honeymoon by threatening to reveal information he had told her off camera about his personal life.
A TV source told MailOnline: ‘Hannah and Orson’s betrayal is revealed during one of the commitment ceremonies after Sascha blurted out the truth behind their closeness.
‘Their affair rocks the cast who have all been trying to navigate their marriages with advice from the relationship experts and the last thing you expect is for two couples to break their vows.
‘It causes uproar and confusion, especially for Richelle, who hoped she could progress in her romance with Orson.
‘As for Stephen, he sees Hannah cheating as an excuse to pursue another bride and he ups the ante with Sionainn despite the fact she’s married to Ryan.’
Hannah and Stephen’s marriage got off to a rocky start after the couple had a heated argument on their honeymoon.
Stephen had confided in Hannah off camera about a private matter and the couple agreed not to speak about the details during filming.
However, Stephen felt Hannah had threatened to expose his secrets and began to doubt whether he could trust her going forward.
Despite their explosive row, the pair agreed to ‘stay’ during their first commitment ceremony, which gives couples the option to end the TV experiment if they both opt to leave.
Mother-of-one Richelle has also experienced doubts in her marriage to Orson.
She grew uncertain of his intentions after discovering as well as his career as an engineer he acts, giving her the impression he is on the E4 series for fame.
They appeared to be the perfect match on their wedding day until Orson felt overwhelmed by Richelle, who bombarded him with questions.
During Monday evening’s instalment, Richelle accused Orson of not being ‘man enough’ for her and even told the relationship experts she had learned nothing from her time with him.
They both decided not to give up on their marriage, agreeing to work on their relationship for another week in the experiment.
However, in an expected turn of events, Orson and Richelle’s relationship is left in tatters after the part time actor’s affair with Hannah is exposed.
