But fan favourite Shona is having the last laugh after confirming her relationship with fellow show star Matt Pilmoor.

And now she's revealed how she got over her failed romance with Brad.

Appearing on Vicky Pattison's , Shona said: "The universe works in crazy ways because obviously I went on my journey with Bradley and it was difficult.

Then after that I went to Sri Lanka on my own for five weeks and I was like ‘I really need to heal my heart’.

"And I did yoga teacher training then somebody incredible, who is just everything I ever wanted… he’s got such a kind heart, he’s so down to earth, he’s funny…"

Smitten Shona added: “He’s just chill and he’s my boyfriend! And it just works so well."

It was confirmed yesterday that Shona and Matt will both be back for the MAFS UK one-off reunion next year, while many other brides and grooms - including Brad - have been snubbed.

Last month The Sun revealed Shona had found love with Matt, after they were spotted on a coffee date together.

The couple later went Instagram official when Shona posted a series of loved-up snaps of them together.
