Former Liverpool footballer Jermaine Pennant and model-wife Alice Goodwin credited a British dating reality series for salvaging their relationship. Jermaine, 36, and Alice Goodwin, 33, who got married in 2014, had split earlier this year and now are thanking the dating show for helping them work out their issues.

"It was really helpful for us. Lots of positive things have come out of it. Our marriage has been out of the public eye for a long time. We wanted to show people it's normal to have issues," Alice was quoted as saying by British gossip portal, Female First. While Jermaine told British tabloid, Daily Star: "Alice has calmed down a lot. She has her moments but she's toned it down a bit."
