Married At First Sight UK star Shona Manderson looked out of this world as she sported a bikini while on holiday in Morocco after 'finding love' with her co-star.
The reality star, who was in a 'toxic' relationship with Brad Skelly before leaving the series, reportedly found love with co-star Matt Pilmoor, one of the new grooms who was originally paired with bride Adrienne Naylor. He was recently pictured enjoying coffee dates with performing arts teacher Shona.
After moving on from Brad and reportedly finding a new connection, Shona took herself on a well-deserved holiday. The star shared a few snaps of her posing in a white bikini in the Agafay Desert in the North African country. Her bikini was emblazoned with dangly jewels and sequins.

"My beautiful friend killing the internet and breaking hearts on the way! Keep on shining and smiling," one user said while another posted: "Can’t imagine the universe is hotter than her."
One fan said: "You are stunning," while another added: "Gorgeous Queen." Last week, it was reported that Shona and Matt have been getting to know each other. Nottingham-born Shona and her beloved dog Winston were seen in a Starbucks with Matt and onlookers claimed they looked “very relaxed in each other’s company” and “must have been together for a while because they were hardly dressed to impress”.

A source told The Sun: “I’m a big fan of the show so I couldn’t believe it when they strolled in together because Matt’s only just joined the show. I’m really disappointed I saw them to be honest because there’s still a month or so to go – and now I know his marriage to Adrienne won’t last.”
Their supposed romance comes after Shona departed the programme because of her 'toxic' relationship with Grimsby model Bradley Skelly. The duo started off strong and even declared their love for each other. It didn't take long before things took a turn for the worse when fans started accusing him of being 'controlling'.
Viewers watched in utter shock as Shona broke down in tears after discovering Brad had revealed intimate details about their sex life to their fellow contestants and branded her “emotionally immature” because she had a dog, while he was a father to an eight-year-old son.
He was also pulled up by the show’s dating experts for the language he used towards his wife, which included ‘allowing’ Shona to do things – saying at one point: “If I allow her to get angry, is she ever going to learn?” During the famous dinner parties, he even told her to 'shut up' when she became upset over not being everyone's favourite couple.
A spokesman for Channel 4 told the Mirror: "The couple’s exit plays out in the show. It was agreed alongside experts Paul, Mel and Charlene that the intensive Married at First Sight environment was not working for the couple and it was the right time to leave the experiment.
