Exciting! Married At First Sight UK’s Lara Eyre has lifted the lid on the behind-the-scenes secrets from the latest series

Speaking about the editing on the show she told The Sun: ‘They can’t make you say something you don’t want to but they can cut out massive chunks from the start of a sentence and edit out the important bits.

‘In our commitment ceremony, it looked like I was telling Richie he was too much for me for the first time but in reality, I said it a lot.

‘In the clip where he says, ‘This is the first I’ve heard of it’ – that was in response to me apologizing to him for something else.’

Lara also explained how the days they filmed the commitment ceremonies were 9am till midnight days, with scenes cut down to the small amount you see on screen. 

She also told how during the dinner party scenes the couples have to be ready for 9am and are taken to the location where they have to wait until they are brought on.

Lara told how sometimes they have to wait all day and that she got so nervous during that time that she often begged producers if she could have a drink before going in.

However she claims her requests were denied whilst she had to listen to the other members already at the party having fun and drinking.

Elsewhere as part of her revelations she told how people would often meet up for secret in each others rooms.

Lara told how producers tried to discourage it from happening but people would sneak along the corridors to visit each other.

She said that it ended up being like secondary school where everyone was ‘gossiping, chatting about each other and falling out’.

Camera ready! Speaking about the editing on the show she told The Sun: ‘They can’t make you say something you don’t want to but they can cut out massive chunks from the start of a sentence and edit out the important bits’ 

It comes after last week Lara spoke out on her experience on this year’s edition of the show, slamming her match Richie as ‘fake’.

The reality star described the guitarist as ‘playing up to the cameras’ during their time on the dating show, as she admitted her upset over being ‘thrown under the bus’ by him.

Following a seemingly good start, the pair decided to leave the show during it’s second week as they struggled to make things work as a married couple.

Richie and Lara met for the first time at the alter, and instantly hit it off while tying the knot during the unconvential dating show.

But the latter appeared slightly unnerved at her new husband’s lack of dating experience, with the musician admitting he had never been in love or in a long-term relationship.

And during the second commitment ceremony, single mum Lara dubbed the former rocker a ‘great guy’ but admitted he wasn’t the one for her – as they decided to part ways.

But the Canada-native has now explained there was plenty more going on off-screen, claiming that Richie ‘played up to the cameras’ and was ‘completely different’ while filming and not.

She revealed to The Sun: ‘It felt like I was dating a TV presenter because Richie was always acting whenever they were filming and concerned with how people would perceive him. 

‘When the cameras were off, Richie kept to himself and wasn’t as enthusiastic or caring, he didn’t ask much about me except for when they were filming. How can you make a relationship work if someone’s performing? I was there for realness and he wanted to come off looking fantastic.’

Just a day before they decided to leave the show, Lara and Richie attended the weekly couple’s dinner party separately – giving a strong indication of the cracks in the relationship.

But with Richie arriving to the party first, Lara shared that she was ‘hurt’ as the musician got first dibs chatting to their co-stars – as he explained that he ‘didn’t know’ where his wife was during the party.

Revealing that Richie was cautious of his image and begged her not to say ‘bad things’ about him as they put on a united front, she spoke of her shock upon arriving to the dinner party.

Explaining: ‘It was a bit of a shock when I arrived at the dinner party and he had thrown me under the bus. I was quite upset when I watched that back.’

Lara also detailed how she wished the show was filmed more similarly to Love Island, with 24/7 cameras to ensure less acting.

A self-proclaimed ‘superfan’ of the show, the Nottingham local was surprised at the editing that went on from the show, explaining that the heavily edited commitment ceremony’s changed the actual narrative.

MailOnline have contacted Richie Dews for comment.

Going through the social experiment, each couple must live together and forge a relationship as a new married couple – attending weekly dinner parties and commitment ceremony with their co-stars to chat over their emotions, and decide whether to continue in the marriage or call it quits.

Married At First Sight UK continues at 9pm on E4.
