SHOCKED Mafs UK fans couldn't believe their eyes and ears tonight as Eve thanked Polly for calling her wife a "bully".
Charlie was stunned and reduced to tears ahead of tonight's dinner party as a confrontational Polly criticised her behaviour towards Eve.
The troubled couple later left the room to have a heart to heart and Eve did her best to console her wife.
Though she admitted to telling Polly she felt she had been bullied, she insisted she'd told Polly not to say anything tonight.
Just minutes later in a one on one chat with Polly, Eve was heard thanking her for her intervention and looked gleeful as they shared a hug.
She said: "I really appreciate you doing that and I can't help but be so relieved, though I can't help but feel the timing was wrong."

She added: "Thank you, Polly. I really f***ing need you to stick up for me."
Viewers were aghast at the duplicity.
One wrote on X: "Seriously, why is Eve THANKING Polly. I would be launching her to Mars."
Another exclaimed: "Eve is so fake."

A third said: "Omgggg Eve is soooo two faced … telling Polly thanks for telling her she’s a bully but timing was you’re showing ur true colours!!!"
A fourth vented: "Eve literally said 'i told her not to speak' to Charlie but has just told polly thanks for saying something? she’s sick."
Later in the dinner party Polly and Charlie had another sit down chat, and the former apologised for her earlier accusations and not taking Charlie's feelings into account.
While Charlie accepted the apology, she said she didn't feel comfortable talking to Polly about her relationship.
The experts felt the tense exchange left a lot unresolved and were fearful of further drama.
The first honesty box of the series followed, with the couples answering personal questions in front of each other.
Caspar and Emma kicked things off by discussing their sex life.
Emma expressed that it was the biggest factor missing in their relationship so far and hoped they would get to a point of intimacy.
Later on, Charlie told Eve she was "serious" about the experiment and wanted her wife to grab the show by the horns and allow her to show that her intentions are genuine.
