MOST of us have gone through our fair share of relationship drama.
But one reality TV guest may have taken the top spot for riding the relationship rollercoaster – and it’s one you’ll want to buckle in for.
Siân Samantha (@sian.samantha) shared a video to TikTok titled ‘Happy divorce day to me and my wonderful husband’, telling the wild story behind her marriage – and how, despite it breaking down, she now gets along with her ex ‘better than ever’.
Posting the story a year since her wedding, Siân explains she met her husband on a television show: “So we went on a TV show last year, ‘Rich Holiday, Poor Holiday’ (season 3, Channel 5 – last episode, that’s me)
“And then we’re on a bit of a high when we came back, and in true ADHD form, I was like, ‘do you wanna get married?’
“Why the **** not? Cause we did ******* love each other.”
‘Rich Holiday, Poor Holiday’ follows two families, one from the top 10% of the income spectrum and the other from the bottom 10%.
The guests are given the opportunity to swap the holiday they would normally take for one they would never consider.
Channel 5’s website says ‘Can money buy happiness? Explore Britain’s wealth divide as two families swap lifestyles’.
Siân continues: “Then six weeks later, down the bloody aisle we were going after two and a half bottles of prosecco.
“Mind you, that was a bloody warning sign there. We’re probably both drinking it like, ‘do you wanna really do this anymore? Are we gonna go through with this?’
“And then we just went for a little meal, to the pub after and it was a great day.
“I mean, he did give a speech on how much he loved everyone else.
“And then pointed to me and said, ‘this is my wife.’
“I was literally waiting for the most romantic speech of my life, but we had just drunk far too much at this point, far too much.”
But Siân continued with the nuptials and started a new life as a married woman.
However, her marital bliss didn’t last long: “Then four months later, I realised that I was a lesbian.
“So, that’s been fun to unpack.”
But despite Siân’s realisation and the consequent break down of her marriage, she says she’s managed to maintain a good relationship with her ex-husband.
“But [I’m] now very grateful for Joe, we actually get along better now than we did when we were married.
“I mean, we actually have things to talk about now, and we have a shared interest – girls.”
The comments underneath her video were flooded – with a surprising amount of people who could relate.
One viewer wrote: “The ADHD-fuelled ‘impulsive-wedding-to-lesbianism-pipeline’ needs to be studied. Mine lasted 9 months.”
Another person said: “Forget gold star lesbians and baby gays. ‘accidentally-married-a-man-lesbians’ are top tier. Mine lasted 2 years. However 3 years later I’m now happily married to my WIFE.”
And someone else said: “Babe same, I was married for just over a year. I knew I shouldn’t have done it but I was terrified of the consequences of cancelling. Divorcee sounds chic as **** though, so we’re winning!”
