'It's a hidden disability - never judge book by its cover'

A Married at First Sight groom with ADHD hopes he has helped partners of people with neurodiversity conditions be "more aware".

Nathan Campbell, 26, from Frome, married Lacey Martin on the Channel 4 reality programme.

During their marriage, he was open about his ADHD symptoms, which can make people inattentive, hyperactive or impulsive, and regularly told his bride he struggled with communication in relationships.

"It's a hidden disability - I would say never judge a book by its cover, everyone deserves a chance," he said.

Mr Campbell told the BBC that he has received many messages on social media thanking him for his candour.

He shared unseen bits from the show, including the pair getting tattoos together during their homestay.

Speaking out about the show's edits, he said a lot of funny scenes were cut and he was not as "shy" as he appeared on the show.

The engineer was diagnosed with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) when he was 11 years old.

Mr Campbell said: "I love that the programme has brought awareness to this."

The 26-year-old said the show's editing led to the public assuming he was much quieter than he is.

"I do look quite shy on camera but I'm a confident bloke," he said.

"There's so many funny scenes that didn't make the cut - we got tattoos together on the homestay."

Emma Barnes, who is living in Bristol, also appeared in the same series.

She hit the headlines after her partner said he did not fancy "curvy" women, which he later apologised for and said he "regretted" the comment.
