From the very start of MAFS UK 2025, it was clear Sarah wasn’t exactly swept off her feet by her new husband, Dean, and now, after deciding to walk away from the experiment in last night’s episode, she’s finally opened up about how she really felt being part of it all.
Sarah and Dean’s relationship had a rocky start. And, honestly, it never really found its rhythm. After Sarah’s mean comments about Dean’s appearance, it seemed like the pair were trying to make it work somehow. But the connection just wasn’t there.
Last night, after an emotional chat with the experts, Sarah and Dean finally decided to call it quits. And now, Sarah’s spoken out about her time in the experiment, and why leaving when she did was the right choice for her.

In a post shared after the episode aired, Sarah said leaving the experiment “at this stage in the process was the right decision.” She explained that the experience started long before filming even began. “The process for me started over a year ago, and after months and months of interviews and matchmaking chats, I was over the moon when I was told I had a match,” she wrote.
Sarah admitted she entered the experiment with a lot of hope. She thought that the experts might have found her person, and that she’d walk away with a real connection. But, she said, sometimes even with all the honesty and effort in the world, things just don’t align.
“Behind the cameras and the dinner parties are real emotions, real confusion, and real people trying their best to make something work,” she added.

Despite their differences, Sarah had nothing but kind words for her ex-husband. “Firstly, thank you to Dean, you are an amazing person. You were my rock during the really difficult times and my biggest supporter. I’m so thankful to have shared this experience with you.”
She also thanked the rest of the cast, saying she’s made friends for life during the show’s “crazy” journey.
Reflecting on the process, Sarah admitted that the show took more of a toll on her than she expected. “As many of you will see, I completely lost myself during this experience. It was not an easy time for me. And watching it back has been so much harder than I ever thought it would be,” she said.
“I can now look back and be grateful for what it taught me about relationships, honesty, communication, and my own strength,” she added.
