When Adrienne Naylor of MAFS learned that her ex-partner Matt Pilmoor had started dating a co-star, she expressed her dismay. Linked Adrienne Naylor, a cast member of First Sight UK, has recollected the moment she learned that her spouse Matt Pilmoor had moved on and was dating someone else. She made an appearance with Erica Roberts, the show’s project support worker, and shared a ton of behind-the-scenes rumors.
Speaking with Cosmopolitan UK, Adrienne revealed that she was informed about Matt’s connection to co-star Shona Manderson, who had previously participated in the Brad Skelly experiment. The blonde remembered that Erica had called her after she overheard her partner Jordan Gayle and Matt on the phone.
Adrienne said: “I found out about Shona and Matt, you (Erica) rang me and at that time I did have a message from Shona in my DMs, but I hadn’t read it at that point. And you rang me and you’re like, ‘what the hell? Basically, Matt’s just been on the phone’.”
Erica then explained how Matt had called Jordan, asking the pair to not tell Adrienne about the relationship, as Shona planned to tell her herself. Erica said: “I was like, ‘I’m not keeping this information in!’, like Adrienne is my girl, my best friend, she needs to know.”
Adrienne continued by saying that only Porscha Pernelle, one of the cast members who had left the experiment before the invader couples had entered, had “reached out” to her about the circumstances. “But, incredibly, Porscha was the only person who messaged me a few days later and said, ‘You don’t have to explain, how you’re feeling, then obviously you’re entitled to feel however the hell you wanna feel, basically.'” the woman stated.
The clip ended with Adrienne sending her well-wishes to the new coupling, saying she “hopes” they work out. Cosmo UK’s video has been viewed over a massive 456,000 times, racking up 14,300 likes and 351 comments.
However, not everyone appeared to agree with Adrienne’s confession, claiming she ‘wasn’t that into’ Matt when they were coupled up on the show. Sarah Krienke commented: “But Shona had messaged her? I bet Shona was telling her about her and Matt.”
Angelique argued: “Whether Shona sent her a DM or not, Adrienne isn’t owed anything from either of them, she didn’t want Matt! They were over.”
Carlie Minion agreed: “Shona messaged you even though she didn’t need to and you didn’t read it now your moaning make it make sense,” while Vicky Hollick wrote: “So Erica was told please don’t say anything because Shona wanted to tell her herself….yet…”
Ell stated, “Shona will not challenge Matt, she will accept whatever he does..he wants validation and adoration Shona will do that..rebound relationship,” but not everyone was in agreement with the new couple. Meisha Houghton immediately sprang to Adrienne’s defense, commenting, “Christ, these are stupid statements. She’s not griping; rather, she’s pointing out that Erica informed her prior to her being able to see the message.
