On the show, Cheryl 'married' husband Jonathan Troughton, however, they didn't make it past the first commitment ceremony.

Luckily, she was able to return to the experiment with Andrew 'Jonesy' Jones, who was ditched by his bride right after the wedding.

However, Jonesy was not the man for Cheryl with the pair splitting up soon after when he made fun of her during a boys' night.

What he described as "a light-hearted boys night" ended their relationship.

Cheryl began dating her now-fiancé in 2017.
