The marriage celebrant revealed that leading up to her split with Nick the show’s producers pitted the pair against one another to manipulate their break-up.

Nick added: ‘I’m upset that Liz feels bad, but I just don’t think that she’s the girl for me. Forever.’

He said he thought they were too similar, but a tearful Liz claimed what they had was ‘real’, and she was disappointed that ‘he didn’t even want to try’.

The vineyard owner also admitted that he was still single, and said he ‘knew in my heart it wasn’t right’ with Liz, and claimed he ‘owed it to her to snap it off clean early’.

‘She deserves someone, and that someone wasn’t me,’ he added.
