Married at First Sight Star Has Experienced ‘Dark Thoughts’ Since Show Break Up

Married at First Sight star Lacey Martin claims that she is experiencing ‘dark thoughts’ since breaking up with partner Nathan Campbell. 

Chatting to hosts Bobby Norris and Ellen Coughlan on the showbiz programme Access All Areas, Lacey opened up about her feelings since split with Nathan Campbell: “I didn't want to be here the other day last week, I didn't come out of my pyjamas for four days, I had bad dark thoughts. And we all have our battles, but overall, I am a positive girl. And I didn't get out my pyjamas for four days. I was crying, and it was just me, my mum and my twin sister Paige in the house. And I was like, Mum, there’s no way out. And for me, I feel like Nathan should have put a statement out.” 

She continued: “I suffer with depression. I'm pretty open about that, but I've never had dark thoughts like that where I'm drowning. I just want it to be all over. I just want to be asleep. And, it was a hard place. And there was no one to run to, and even if you put out a statement, people weren't really reading it ” 

Lacey also revealed that she has received online hate from her best friend on the show Holly Ditchfield: “One of my best friends, Holly, she knew the ins and outs of that relationship. She was there every step of the way of the breakup, me crying, me ringing her, and it wasn't to do with the texts’ so when she was on live saying ‘Yeah, I'm on Nathan’s side’, I called her out. I said, ‘Hold on a minute. I thought she was my best mate’. She was there through the breakup. Okay, it's a TV show, but my feelings were real for Nathan.” 

Also in this episode, Lacey slams the edit of Married at First Sight:  “It wasn't a true reflection of what actually happened. So much was cut out between me and Nathan's conversation of why we actually did split up. It was nothing to do with this whole showmance thing, we spoke about that a few months after when we were friends, and he agreed, but the producers cut everything out”
