The pair, who were a series favourite and widely picked to be the couple most likely to survive the TV ‘experiment’, have been plagued by split rumours for weeks.

Posting a typically glamorous selfie to Instagram, Sarah wrote a long, emotional caption explaining: “I just can’t allow my innate standards to be compromised.”

“On the back of what has been such an extraordinary experience it is with great heartache, regret & sadness that Telv & I are no longer together. 

“An experiment like this forces you to reveal exactly who you are. For me; I’m so proud of my resilience, decency, compassion & my loyalty. I know that nobody is perfect yet I am at that stage in my life where the foundation of basic respect & support from my partner is crucial. As a woman I know what I truly deserve & I just can’t allow my innate standards to be compromised.

“There were so many heartfelt moments that we shared together which I honestly will treasure forever. I truly wish only the absolute best for Telv because I undoubtedly will always love & care very deeply for him, but ultimately I deserve someone who shares the same life goals & aspirations as I do.

“Whilst I didn’t find lasting love it has surprised me that I did in fact find something much more important; my inner strength. This honestly was the most challenging & intensely emotional undertaking that I’ve ever committed to. 

“I’ve ‘walked through fire’ more times than I ever imagined I would. While it saddens me that it didn’t work out, I do know the right man for me is out there somewhere looking for me too. I still believe in my happily ever after & that I’m deserving of a pure & committed love.”

On the back of what has been such an extraordinary experience it is with great heartache, regret & sadness that Telv & I are no longer together. As you undoubtedly saw, my heart was completely committed to this before I even met my husband & it was absolutely set on fire once I did meet him. Like all relationships, no one but the couple involved know exactly what goes on behind the smiles & the tears, so respecting the dignity of both Telv & myself I am wanting to be completely transparent with you; the dedicated, much loved & appreciated viewer. Being surrounded by friends & family is providing a safe haven for me now. This is so I can heal & continue to carry on living a upstanding & happy life. An experiment like this forces you to reveal exactly who you are. For me; I’m so proud of my resilience, decency, compassion & my loyalty.

I still believe in my happily ever after & that I’m deserving of a pure & committed love. I will always be eternally grateful that our paths crossed in this way as I feel that I have learnt so much about myself & grown exponentially as a person. I’m honoured to have been a part of this incredible life changing journey & I’m thrilled to embrace the next exciting chapter in my life… @telv11

Sarah’s post will come as no surprise to fans. Telv was snapped at the Melbourne Formula One Grand Prix on Friday without his wedding ring – and weeks ago an irate email from Telv addressed to a MAFS producer was leaked to Daily Mail.

The email read:

“Had a chat to Sarah… I have blocked her number and refuse to have any more talks.

“I wanted to try and get along strictly for publicity… I no longer want anything to do with this crazy woman.”

MAFS co-star Ryan Gallagher told OK Magazine last week that the rumours were true:

“They’ve both got their demons. He’s in Melbourne now, but they’re not together.

“They’re still talking and they’re civil to one another, but they’ve got a lot of baggage between them.”
