Both Cheryl, 25, and Andrew, 38, decided to leave Married At First Sight tonight. It had been a rough couple of weeks for the pair who decided to match up after their previous relationships didn’t work out.
TV WEEK spoke with Cheryl about how she overcame the challenges she faced during the experiment and why she decided to leave.
Why did you decide to leave?
I felt like the last week was a make or break week for Andrew and I. I didn’t get much out of the relationship bootcamp and honestly couldn’t deal with how Andrew acts/deals with certain situations. It’s not what I look for in a future partner.
Were you surprised Andrew also decided to leave? If not, why?

I wasn’t surprised at all, he chose to leave the week prior and things only got worse. So it wasn’t a shock at all.
During the final commitment ceremony, Andrew made a comment about the pictures you share on social media. Were you offended by that?
No I wasn’t offended by the social media remark – I was confused as to why it was even bought up as it had nothing to do with what we were talking about.
How did the other participants react to the news?
I think after the last dinner party all the couples knew that we both were going to leave the experiment
Did you and Andrew speak about it beforehand? If so, what was that conversation like?
We actually didn’t speak much at all since he moved out. The last week for us wasn’t good at all, especially hearing that he was saying nasty things about me and to act the way he did at the dinner party. He didn’t take any responsibility for anything so there wasn’t much to talk about after that.
What did your dad say when you told him about Andrew and the boys’ night and you both deciding to quit the experiment?
I haven’t gone into detail with my dad about the boys’ night. I only really knew what was actually said when I was sitting watching it on TV. Dad did call me before hand and I said for him to wait and see as I’ve heard it’s bad. I haven’t spoken to him since then but I’m sure he won’t have anything nice to say.
Watching the show back, was it confronting at all?
At times it was a bit surreal, watching myself on TV. I think while you are in the experiment you forget you are going to be shown to whole of Australia. I’m not going to lie, watching myself get upset was hard. Just sitting there watching some people not really take my feelings into consideration was strange.
