Married at First Sight couple forced to wait a year for divorce

They say that love is blind.

But a blind wedding didn't seem to work out too well for Married At First Sight couple Richard and Harriet, who decided to go their separate ways as the series drew to a close.

And just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, it turns out that the newlyweds are going to have to wait a year until they can get divorced.

The couple met on their wedding day and were tipped to fall madly in love, but sadly it wasn't to be.

While Richard, 28, wanted to make the marriage work, Harriet, 32, wasn't keen - much to his disappointment.

They told The Sun, "The production will cover the costs of the divorce if it is triggered in the 12 months from the wedding day.

"Under UK law divorce proceedings cannot start until 12 months after the marriage took place so it can be 18 months since the wedding day before the legal divorce process is completed."

Fans seemed to feel for Richard in particular on the show, as he was filmed talking about his disappointment they couldn't stay together.

He admitted, "It feels so rubbish to kind of not make your wife feel that way. I think deflated just hits the nail on the head. I think for me there was something there.

"So yeah, it’s really disappointing to know that it’s at the stage where we’re going to get a divorce."

But luckily for him, plenty of girls seemed keen to step into Harriet's shoes!
