TELEVISION PLAY MOVING ON FROM MARRIAGE

been down the aisle before, but a happily- ever- after- ending eluded these four ladies.

So Nikki, Sheridan, Sunnie and Emma have taken extreme measures to get their romantic lives back on track, signing up for Seven’s new reality/ dating series, Single Wives, hosted by Fifi Box.

“Fifi always talks about her horrible dating stories on the radio, so to know that she was the host, it’s so relatable,” says Sunnie, 30. “She knows how bad it is out there – she’s lived it.” With worldrenowned dating expert Matthew Hussey ( who “oozes sex appeal”, according to the group) on hand, the ladies are put through their “dating” paces, dragged out of their comfort zones and even share a house together.

Nikki, 32, was happily married and expecting her first child when tragedy struck – her husband was killed in a motorbike accident. Days later, she went into early labour with son Daniel, now nine. Sheridan, 41, has been married twice and has two teenage kids with her first husband. Soon after her second wedding, she found out that her husband was “emotionally unfaithful”, sending her into a spiral of self- loathing and insecurity.

Younger singles Sunnie and 28- yearold Emma were both married at the age of 20 and share a bond over the cultural expectations that led them down the aisle. Sunnie says her divorce caused a stir.

“In the Indian community I’m ‘ that divorced woman’,” she says.

“What is this, the 1960s?”
