Congratulations! Married At First Sight UK star Thomas Hartley has come out as pansexual
Captioning the clip, he wrote that he was coming out as pansexual – someone who is attracted to anybody, irrespective of their sex or gender identity.
Thomas said: ‘Coming out. I came out when I was 15 as gay, however before the show I found that I was attracted to all genders and coming to be more fluid with my gender and liberated in my sexuality, I do now understand that I am pansexual.
‘Although I resonate more so with dating cis and trans men, I do find cis and trans women attractive to. I am at the beginning of this journey and I am more confident than I have ever been before.
‘Pansexuality is not difficult to understand, however rather than be offended, I would rather help people understand and learn with resources and education.

He tweeted: ‘I’ll be watching the reunion tonight. It’s gonna be a bit explosive and I’m sure lots will have lots to say after it. The clip where it says “blocked me on everything”, that was mutual, I was sick of arguing.
‘We don’t talk, we won’t talk and I’m happier than I’ve been……’
He added: ‘Not all is as it seems, not everybody is as they appear and everyone’s going forth with their lives and I wish them the best.’
