Tonight, as she prepared to get hitched, Lacey - who is a twin - opened up after her childhood trauma of never feeling as "pretty" as her sister Paige.

Speaking to the camera, her voice cracked as she bravely said: "Growing up I was bullied quite badly.";

Lacey went on: "This was because people always thought my twin was prettier than me."

She went onto to say she always felt like the "ugly ducking", but her strong bond with her twin sister helped her through it.

The new series of Married At First Sight continued tonight and saw Lacey walk down the aisle.

However, not all went according to plan, as her new groom Nathan first thought he was marrying her twin sister.

To make matters worse he then fumbled through his vows and said Lacey looked "nice".

Meanwhile, The Sun revealed how Lacey and her sister Paige have already appeared on the small screen in another reality show.

They were filmed for an episode of Dress To Impress after her twin sister signed up to the show four years ago.

Paige - who together with Lacey describe themselves as "IVF miracle twins" - was dressed by three style conscious single guys in an attempt to find love.
