MAFS stars Jordan and Erica have voiced their opinion on Georges and Peggy's relationship.

Married At First Sight stars Erica Roberts, 25, and Jordan Gayle, 26, have claimed that their fellow castmates Peggy Rose, 32, and Georges Berthonneau, 30, are in a 'fake' relationship.

Despite being one of the few MAFS couples who are still together, Peggy and Georges relationship has come under scrutiny, with Jordan revealing that he doesn't 'believe them as a couple.'

In an interview with The Sun, Erica and Jordan explained their feelings towards the pair, while also divulging that Peggy and Georges have an 'arrangement' to see each other once a week.

Jordan and Erica also added that they felt like they were 'set up by producers', as the way their relationship was edited was "not an accurate representation" of their time on the show.

Speaking about their fellow couples, Jordan said: "I just don't believe Peggy and Georges as a couple.

"I didn't believe in them at the time, and I know I said earlier about the editing not always being what it seems but, in Peggy and Georges’ case, it did seem accurate.

"Most people watching didn't really understand them. I don't understand how, as a couple, they always had a million problems, a million different problems, new problems every week, yet they were still happy enough to stay with each other. 

"Surely, if you have that many problems as a couple, you wouldn't be happy? But the reason why I feel like they could get through it, and be happy, is because they didn't really care, so it's not really a problem."

Jordan continued: "I thought it was manufactured drama to get more airtime, and they probably had the most air time out of everyone. 

"But I just feel like if you really care about someone, and you're really into them, any small problem eats away at you.  I just don't believe in it whatsoever.

"We’ll see soon with couples; will they still be together in like a year's time? I'll be absolutely shocked if they are - unless they’re getting success together as a couple."

Erica added: "They only see each other once a week. They have an agreement that they see each other once a week."

During the final episode of MAFS it was revealed that alongside Erica and Jordan and Peggy and Georges, Tasha Jay and Paul Liba were also still in a relationship.

Since filming ended, Shona Manderson and Matt Pilmoor have gone public with their romance, after being partnered with Brad Skelly and Adrienne Naylor on the show.

Fans won't have long to wait to see more Married At First Sight drama as the reunion episode is set to air in 2024.

It has been confirmed that the following cast members will be taking part: Adrienne Naylor, Ella Morgan, Erica Roberts, Georges Berthonneau, Jay Howard, Jordan Gayle, Laura Vaughan, Matt Pilmoor, Paul Liba, Peggy Rose, Rozz Darlington, Shona Manderson, Tasha Jay and Thomas Kriaras.
