‘I’m all for love, but Orson and Hannah should NOT be allowed to recouple’ says MAFS’ Peggy after ‘wife swap’ scandal
MARRIED At First Sight star Peggy Lawrence is rooting for Orson and Hannah to find love following the “wife swap” scandal.
But Peggy, 32, insisted that the pair should exit the process together, instead of recoupling and being allowed to stay on the show.
It comes after Orson and Hannah’s “affair” is set to be exposed on tonight’s commitment ceremony, leaving their fellow co-stars gobsmacked.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Peggy said: “I feel like when you’re on the show, you’ve been matched with your partner for a reason.
“I don’t think the experts have got it so wrong. If you’re not happy with your partner, personally you should leave and try and make something of that new relationship with that person on the outside.
“Or just leave altogether and be with somebody else.
“Richelle and Orson clearly isn’t working out.
“I think it would be quite pathetic if they do, every series there has been a swap and it does become quite tedious after a while, is that genuine or not.
“I wouldn’t put Hannah with Orson to start with because she’s very reactive, like we’ve seen with Richelle that doesn’t bode well.
“Orson is very laid back, so they’re like chalk and cheese. If they’ve got a connection, great, I’m all for love but just do it on the outside.”
Peggy admitted if there’s a chance for two unhappy singletons to find love on the show, then they should grab it.
She said: “The way their partners have acted towards them, they’re not in a relationship. I wouldn’t even say they’re in a situationship.
“Both of their partners Richelle and Stephen have made it clear that they are not interested in Orson or Hannah.
“I don’t think their actions are untoward, both of their partners have treated them with disrespect that we’ve seen on TV.
“Hats off to them, if they can find love elsewhere.
“Look at Matt and Shona they weren’t originally paired together, sometimes couples who form relationships in the process who weren’t originally married do end up working.
“As long as they’re all happy. Richelle is pretty happy without Orson and Stephen is happy without Hannah and if Orson and Hannah are happy together, winner winner.”
Peggy, who took part in the E4 experiment last year and married Georges Berthonneau on the show, said Hannah’s attempt to make Stephen jealous may have gone down like a lead balloon, but it has opened up new possibilities for a new romance.
“Don’t do it in front of your partner’s face on national TV. Stephen is very reactive, he’s quite stern, either my way or the high way, she said.
“It’s been one week, I don’t know many people who wouldn’t give it a second chance.
“It’s a bit playground, school games, I think the worst thing she could do right now is try and aggravate Stephen, because it will just give Stephen more ammunition to say ‘this is why I don’t trust you’.
“If it is a game plan or a plot to get back at Stephen or to show that Stephen cares, I think it’s the wrong move.
“To be honest, I think it’s the wrong move regardless. If I was holding another man’s hand, of course my husband would be like ‘what the hell’, it’s quite immature.
“You have to consider the fact that he’s got four children, does he really want to be wasting time with someone who he doesn’t trust. He’s a dad of four with responsibilities, does he need someone else to look after.”
He’s leading her up the garden path
Peggy has also given her honest verdict on what she thinks of the couples this series and who she thinks will get to the final vows.
The blonde beauty shared her concern for Polly – saying the fiery redhead could be set for heartbreak.
She told us: “These two have being out of the friendship zone, so Adam says. I think Polly wants to believe it but I think Adam is just going along with it. I’m not too sure I can believe what Adam is saying at the moment.
“I want to but his face says a million words. He clearly resides on looks and appearance when it comes to being committed in a relationship.
“I’m hoping they progress for Polly’s sake but I don’t believe in sleeping with somebody on the first night and then saying you don’t find them attractive for the rest of the honeymoon.”
Peggy admitted that she is worried Adam is “leading her up the garden path” and giving her “false hope”.
“When you kind of know something is over but don’t want to admit it – that’s how I feel with Polly. She wants it to work, but she’s lying to herself. You can see it on Adam’s face, he’s not in it.
“I don’t know why he’s staying, unless he’s giving her false hope. Maybe using the hope that if he stays in the programme long enough, then when he does come out he’ll have all these young pretty women flocking at his arms.
“These guys, I’m not saying Adam’s not had it in the past, but guys like attention, they like their ego boosted. I do feel like Adam is leading Polly up the garden path.
“Maybe he’s also being put up with her obsession personality, she’s really protective, when she said she didn’t like the new girls. I feel sorry for her, she’s obviously really insecure when she shouldn’t be. It’s a shame because I think they’re really good together. #
“His head is turning while it’s in there, every dinner party he’s like wow, wow, wow, let alone when he gets out and the camera’s not there, they’ll be more than wows.
“She already feels insecure with the women in there, what is she going to be like on the outside world when you can’t be there all the time, you have to trust each other.”
No bro code
While Peggy also let rip at Stephen for trying to sabatage Ryan and Sionainn’s relationship and said there will likely be some unfinished business between Ryan and Stephen in tonight’s commitment ceremony.
She shared: “It was so wrong of Stephen, there was no bro code there. He was the one that said that this this was ‘no swingers party, it’s Married At First Sight’, it’s very hypocritical, contradicting their own words. I think that was bang out of order on Stephen.
“Bless Ryan, I absolutely love Ryan and Sionainn together and hats off to Sionainn for saying ‘no I like my man’, being loyal.
“They’re a pair to be reckoned with and I don’t think Stephen stands a chance quite frankly and I’m pleased he doesn’t.”
Polly shock swap
Peggy admitted Polly wanting to recouple with fellow groom Stephen was the biggest shock of the night – and said Adam’s reaction was fair.
But Peggy said that Polly’s decision to swap may be because she wanted to rub Hannah up the wrong way.
She added: “Polly saying swap to Stephen, I was not expecting that, that was the showstopper of the night for me.
“I didn’t expect anybody to say swap, let alone Polly. I thought she was obsessed with Adam and adored Adam.
“So no wonder Adam is absolutely furious, I would be too. To say Stephen, I don’t know where it came from, did Polly just say Stephen to wind up Hannah and to prove herself to Holly.
“Was it kind of mean girl ganging up behaviour on Hannah to say she’d swap to Stephen but didn’t mean it, but either way it’s bang out of order, I’d be furious too, especially as Adam seems to be trying much harder now.”
