Married At First Sight UK star Keye Luke has given a heartbreaking confession following his shock split from Davide Anica. The star said he wants his ex back and spilled details on their relationship during a new podcast chat. The duo quickly became fan-favourites on the E4 reality show, but their relationship fell apart following final vows after Davide found Keye on the dating app Grindr.
Now, marketing manager Kaye, 33, says he wants his ex back while speaking on the Avoiding My Anxiously Attached Boyfriend podcast. Discussing more details on their breakup, he said: "He was in a different country at the time, I think he was flying to Atlanta. So he dumped me over text, because obviously that's all we had, and then he blocked me on everything. So there was no coming back."
"Obviously it was a five month period from breaking up to this point now. Between then there's been period's he's unblocked, there's been periods where we tried to chat and it just wasn't going anywhere.I think once the trust is broken - the trust is broken."
Keye then revealed that he would get back together if he could, as he said: "I'm not going to pretend if he didn't knock on the door and asked for me back now I wouldn't be going back".
Davide and Keye were one of the experiment's strongest couples and went from strength to strength during their time on the show.
During the emotional final rows, Davide told Keye: "I have never had anyone make me feel as wanted and desired as you do. There definitely have been moments where you have been loud. But not because of your way of being, but because of the way you show me your love."
Keye shared a statement with The Sun earlier this month and confirmed he's no longer in a relationship with Davide and addressed the breakdown on his marriage.
Keye's statement reads: "I downloaded Grindr in the early hours of a Sunday morning while Davide was on a flight. I wasn't there looking to cheat, hook up, or find anyone else.
"I was in a really dark place back then, and I turned to something unhealthy because I didn't know how to cope. It had nothing to do with wanting someone else, it was about trying to numb myself and escape what I was feeling. I know how it looked, and I know it broke trust.
"Even if my intentions weren't sexual, I still crossed a line. I hate that Davide thought I was out there looking for someone else, because that was never what I was doing.
"I was just lost, and I made a terrible decision. Davide found me with his profile and it cost me my marriage."
