The reality TV star who was born in Walsall and owns a beauty salon in Lye has had her love life followed by the whole nation as Channel 4's MAFS aired over the past few months.
The show sees single people getting married to someone they have never met, seeing them for the first time at the alter.
Our Sacha has been very open about her marriage to Ross from Manchester - as each MAFS episode aired, she would follow along with viewers on her Instagram page.
On one of the recent episodes, the Black Country girl shared her hesitation about moving up north with Ross - but after watching the episode herself, claims that the 'real meaning' of her hesitation was not shown on TV and made to look like something else.
So she took matters into her own hands on her Instagram story.
The pageant queen, who is also a kickboxer, charity worker and beautician, said: "A lot had happened between me and Ross at this point to get me to the point of considering not moving to Manny.
“It didn’t seem safe and secure enough anymore due to certain incidents. Hopefully this is fairly represented in upcoming eps, or I’m allowed to speak on it.”
Now, following the final episode, she has revealed all.
She posted a video on her Instagram of her and a friend popping a bottle of fizz, and explained that living with Ross made her 'a shell' of who she once was.
She wrote: "Annnnnnnd that’s a wrap!!
"So with my @ok_mag exclusive and Ross’s hard launch, it’s no mystery that we’re no longer together. And although one of us chooses not to acknowledge ever doing the show, i’ll never regret my time on MAFS.
"I may now be divorced, but I’ll never look back on my experience as a negative one and act like it didn’t happen. I know how much you guys love some bts [behind the scenes] so I thought I’d do a post as a way of closing the chapter.
"As I said in my interview (link in bio) my life with Ross in Walsall was the unhappiest I have ever been in my life. I truly lost myself and friends said I was a shell of who I was once was. Despite this, I did truly love him and wanted things to work out, so I'd of probs just kept going till there was nothing left of me. Hoping for a never coming change. So some thing’s really are a blessing in disguise!
"I’m just thankful I followed my head and not my heart when it came to moving to Manchester. Trust your intuition girlies. AND ALWAYS PUT YOUR SAFETY FIRST!!! Don’t let anyone ever try to pressure you into following a man if it doesn’t feel right.
"There’s so much more to my story, BUT a part of me will always want to protect Ross. Even if it’s not reciprocated. So instead, I leave this part of my life behind me. And wish him nothing but the best. There’s something so freeing in being able to say I’m single now, after having to keep quiet about if I'm still married or not for months."
