The couples all met up one last time with Paul C Brunson, Mel Schilling and Charlene Douglas as a group.

On Monday's episode, all 20 participants reunited for the final dinner party, but it was very frosty between Jordan, 29, and Chanita, also 29, after it was revealed that the pair had secretly split after Jordan "stopped making an effort" to see his TV wife and "cut her off".

Last night the former couple sat down in front of the experts and Paul confessed that they were "shocked" that they had showed up to the party separately.

Jordan explained to them that after filming had ended he realised that something was missing and couldn't see a future with Chanita.

Mel went on to ask him: "Have your feelings switched off?"

"No I've still got feelings of course I do. 100 per cent I've still got feelings," Jordan replied.

Mel added: "There is no evidence here that this is a relationship that can't work."

Paul asked Jordan if he agreed with her statement.

He went on to say: "Is it that you've maybe scared yourself a little by thinking so far into the future. Is this the person I want to lock myself in with forever... Did that get a bit scary?"

Jordan replied: "I think that's maybe right."

Paul then said that his decision to end the relationship was impulsive.

Viewers watching at home didn't the way that Paul and Mel were trying to persuade him into thinking he had made the wrong choice.

One said on Twitter: "IDK mahn but I feel like the experts were pressuring Jordan a bit?"

Another added: "I feel like the experts are pressuring Jordan into a decision he doesnt want to take, and it will ultimately end up hurting Chanita #MAFSUK #mafs."

"Why is the experts and i say.that loosely begging Jordan to stay with Chanita snd why would Chanita want to stay with someone the experts have to beg to stay with her #MAFSUK," a third added.

A fourth chimed in: "The "experts" way of toying with Chanita's and Jordan's decision was insensitive, disrespectful and bloody awful to watch."

"I think the experts persuading Jordan to give it another go with Chanita is quite unfair. I feel like it's just giving Chanita false hope," a fifth tweeted.

It comes shortly after Chanita broke her silence after being dumped by her TV husband.
