We hope you're sitting down for this, because what we're about to tell you may be both shocking and disturbing—a reality TV show may have a sham. You may recall that buxom British model Jodie Marsh was searching for a husband using that time-honored tradition for finding true love, the television game show. Well, she found a "winner" in fellow model Matt Peacock who married her last month. There's just one catch though—gossips are saying the pair was already engaged before filming even started, but that it didn't stop them from cashing in a £60,000 wedding ceremony courtesy of the show's sponsors. Does this mean that her recent claim that the newlyweds are currently "experimenting with violence and asphyxiation" in the bedroom is a lie as well? Gosh, if gimmicky self-promotional reality shows aren't genuine, how can we ever trust again?
