MARRIED At First Sight’s Emma Barnes and Caspar Todd have quit the experiment after an emotionally charged commitment ceremony.
Emma, 31, was left in floods of tears after she and Caspar, 34, reluctantly agreed that it was time for them to give up on their marriage.

The couple both admitted their relationship was too flawed to continue, with Caspar saying there is “still no romantic spark” between them.
Tearful Emma, meanwhile, told MAFS UK expert Mel Schilling that she had hoped to find someone who would “adore” her.
Speaking to the cameras after they both agreed to leave the show, Emma sobbed as she said: “It’s over, my marriage is over.
“I wanted to come here and and walk dow the aisle and walk out hand-in-hand with my husband.
“It’s such a shame I didn’t get someone to adore me and me adore them.”
Emma and Caspar, who met for the first time on their wedding day, agreed to call it quits during Monday night’s episode of MAFS UK.
Sitting down in front of Mel, Caspar – who infamously compared Emma to his sister – even confessed that he’d wanted to leave the previous week.
The professional gardener told Mel that he had been left “hurt” after Emma refused to be emotionally vulnerable with him.
Caspar told his wife: “In the nicest possible way, I wanted to leave last week.
“You said to me, ‘I don’t know if I like you enough to be emotionally vulnerable’.”
Turning to Mel, he said: “If that’s what she thinks of me, why am I here?”
Hitting back, Emma revealed that Caspar had made a comment about “future people” when discussing romance – hinting that his future wasn’t with her.
“I asked you if you’d like to practices the task and you said, ‘Yes I want to and build intimacy with future people’.
“I felt like I was a testing station!”

Despite this, it initially appeared as though Emma wanted to continue to try and make her marriage with Caspar work.
She told him: “I feel like we’re nitpicking at things we’ve done this week but I know this anger is temporary.”
But Caspar told Mel that he wanted what ‘Lacey and Nathan have’, while nodding towards blissfully happy newlyweds Lacey Martin and Nathan Campbell.
“I’m not as positive as Emma,” he continued: “We feel sad, as we came here for love.
“Emma is fantastic but I need someone to need me more than Emma will ever need me. She’s a very strong and independent woman.
“Both Emma and I applied for this because we both wanted to find The One.
“I think Emma is a lovely person but, for me, what I’ve found is we live our lives in such different ways. I’ve not been perfect but I don’t feel a romantic spark.”

Another added: “Go Caspar, live your own life find someone who doesn’t look like your sister. Emma, just go and live your best life.”
