Married At First Sight UK slammed with more Ofcom complaints from furious fans in row over ‘gaslighting’
MARRIED At First Sight UK has been slammed with Ofcom complaints from viewers in a furious row over "gaslighting".
Last month MAFS UK fans branded Alex Henry "heartless" after a bitter row with bride Holly Ditchfield.
During one of the dinner parties Alex wasted no time in making a beeline for late arrival Amy Kenyon - leaving Holly seriously unimpressed.
Things didn't go well when she tried to explain to her husband why she was upset.
Angry fans have now contacted broadcasting regulator Ofcom, with the E4 show receiving 56 complaints.
Ofcom confirmed the complaints "related to alleged gaslighting behaviour by Alex".

Despite Holly's attempts to explain why Alex's behaviour upset her, he insisted she was "acting up for the cameras".
At the time viewers rushed to social media to have their say, with one writing: "Alex’s gaslighting is on another level.
"He chats up another woman all night but Holly has to shut up because she’s ruining the evening by being upset by it!?!?"
It came as no surprise to fans when both Holly and Alex chose to quit the experiment during a commitment ceremony.

But this week the couple confirmed they are still together when they were snapped packing on the PDA during a night out.
This year's reunion episodes have been confirmed but The Sun told yesterday how Alex won't feature in the special shows.
A source said: "Alex didn't film either of the two reunion episodes, which seemed really odd to the rest of the cast.
"It was unclear whether it was Channel 4's decision or his own, but there was a lot of chatter about it amongst the brides and grooms who expected him to be there with Holly."
