It comes after Daily Mail Australia revealed Ash and Madeleine’s romance faced insurmountable challenges due to their painful lack of chemistry.
Ash and Madeleine abruptly left the show during Monday’s episode, even though Ash decided to “stay” at Sunday’s Commitment Ceremony.
Their relationship reached a breaking point after an intense argument, which led Madeleine to pack her bags and leave the show entirely.
“Nat has really taken a liking to Ash after meeting him at the reunion,” a source told Daily Mail Australia.
“They hit it off right away. “Nat has since told her friends and co-stars that she wishes she would be paired with someone like Ash,” they continued (pictured left to right: MAFS stars Belinda Vickers, Melissa Rawson, Bryce Ruthven and Alan Wallace from Love Triangle).
‘Maddy refused to cooperate with the producers and sensationally quit. Ash was so much Done and over it too,” a source said.
‘Ash knew he had no chance with her. He called the producers after the ceremony and declared that he wanted out. However, they met again for a final showdown.
This explosive ending was not what Madeleine had imagined when she joined the experiment, hoping for the chance to control her narrative and experience something unforgettable.

“Nothing was going in her favor and that commitment ceremony was a real awakening for her,” the source added.
Following her exit, Madeleine stepped away from the spotlight, deactivating her social media accounts and choosing not to participate in the show’s reunion.
A cast member told Daily Mail Australia that “no one has heard from her.”
‘Maddy didn’t really make any effort to get to know anyone and didn’t have any friends on set. “To be honest, I’m not surprised it didn’t last long,” they said.

Melbourne-based Ash (pictured) was seen checking into the Skye Suites apartment, where the show will film only on September 6.
‘On my wedding day I was boarding the Titanic’
Meanwhile, Ash compared his ill-fated marriage to the Titanic and said it was “doomed to fail.”
Recalling his time in the experiment, Ash said that when the couple attended the first dinner, he was “emotionally exhausted from the honeymoon.”
‘I was practically at my wits’ end. So I thought, ‘You know what? I want to see the other couples. I just want to get in touch with the other couples. And he asks: ‘Am I going crazy here? Am I really going crazy? What’s going on?” he told Daily Mail Australia.
“I had absolutely no chance with Madeline.”
Ash openly admitted that he felt like he was ‘boarding the Titanic’ on his wedding day, hinting that he was in for a doomed voyage.
‘She was never going to give me a chance. She didn’t know why she was in the experiment.
And yes, as far as I’m concerned, obviously my wedding day was when I got on the Titanic. I simply had no idea it would be doomed to crash and burn.
Ash did not hesitate to express his suspicions about Madeleine’s behavior in front of the cameras.
“She can turn it on very well… She’s very good at turning it on when the cameras are on.” Ash’s doubts grew when she learned of Madeleine’s past as an actress.
