Married At First Sight UK star Thomas Hartley took to Instagram to apologise for 'sickening' comments he made about his co-stars while he was a guest on a podcast.
In a post he shared on his page, the reality star said there is 'no excuse' for his comments and explains how he will live 'eternally with regret' following his behaviour. After apologising on social media, Thomas went on to explain how he has been experiencing some 'very dark thoughts' over recent days and received threatening messages from trolls, writes The Mirror.
During his time on the E4 show, Thomas was known for his fallouts and outbursts but despite appearing to making up with everyone on the recent reunion episode, the Scouse mental health nurse mouthed off again on Cool FM’s What’s Happenin’ podcast.
His comments upset April Banbury, who he had a long-running feud with, as well as Whitney Hughes and same-sex couple Jenna Robinson and Zoe Clifton. They included a joke about Jenna’s dad, who sadly passed away during Covid meaning he couldn’t walk her down the aisle.
After being publicly criticised by his co-stars regarding his comments, Thomas has since issued a grovelling apology and says he has asked for the offensive podcast to be taken down. He said: “I sincerely apologise for any offence I caused on the podcast. It wasn’t right and I did ask for it to be removed and it wasn’t.
“I think it’s important to start by saying this podcast is about dark comedy and it’s safe to say after the reaction from people, death threats, accusations and the band wagoning, it’s safe to say I’ve had some very dark thoughts,” he wrote.
"I have already apologised, but the damage is done and for those personally affected by the podcast, I am extremely sorry. The lines
