Explosive MAFS finale

Last night, Adam stormed off after Polly accused him of being dishonest during their relationship.
The barber was left shell-shocked by her claims, telling the camera: “I’m a good liar? Absolutely baffled me. I’ve been honest with Polly since the get go.”
As he made his exit Polly, dressed in a white wedding dress, yelled after him: “You’re walking away again, you’re a f*****g joke. You’re embarrassing.”
Sacha fumes over final vows edit

But Sacha has now revealed that there was a part of the scene that has been cut - as she dropped a major spoiler.
Sharing her frustration on social media, Sacha wrote: "OMG already fuming with the edit for final vows."
She then shared: "I can't write here now why I was crying but it was to do with them ruining a surprise I had for Ross.
"As if they've done me that dirty."
She also captioned her post: "Absolutely disgusting they'd do that to me."

Polly Sellman flaunts two-stone weight loss
Married at First Sight's Polly Sellman has proudly shown off her incredible two-stone weight loss, slipping into a cut-out swimsuit.
The 28-year-old careers adviser had previously faced cruel comments from her MAFS UK groom, Adam Nightingale, who told her she wasn’t his type and usually prefers "petite brunettes."

Credit: Instagram MAFS sparks 200+ Ofcom complaints
Married at First Sight UK has stirred up controversy, with over 200 Ofcom complaints lodged over alleged bullying after explosive clashes between cast members.
The drama reached its peak during the November 7 episode, where the brides and grooms gathered separately for Girls' and Boys' Nights, setting off a series of feuds that left fans divided.
Tensions first surfaced earlier in the series during a retreat, when brides Holly and Polly accused fellow bride Hannah of making inappropriate remarks toward the other husbands. Holly, in particular, believed Hannah had crossed a line, suggesting she was flirting with her own husband, Alex.
"How many husbands have you run off with since leaving the experiment?" Holly fired at Hannah, referring to how she expressed an interest in Alex earlier on in the series, and had become friendly with another groom Orson.
Holly then kept hammering the question: "How many are you linked with?" A visibly distressed Hannah then said: "Honey I am not going to be spoken to like sh**."
Ofcom has since confirmed that a significant portion of the 237 complaints were related to Holly’s treatment of Hannah, adding yet another layer of controversy to this season’s reunion.
Ross in on a break?
The couple endured an emotional roller coaster on the show, arguing over where to live.
Their final vows saw them bringing it up again, and Sacha stormed off in floods of tears.
However, in dramatic scenes he made a U-turn and said he'd move to Walsall to be with her.
Weeks after the experiment ended, Ross left Sacha heartbroken by ending their relationship.
He's also gone public with a new girlfriend.
Death at a Funeral
Amy was dressed for the occassion when she told Luke their marriage was over.
She ended their relationship in savage fashion in a funeral outfit as she told Luke: "I don't believe a word that leaves your mouth.
"I know my worth and you aren't worthy of me. This marriage is done, dead, deceased. I stand here in front of you today wearing black to mourn its death. RIP."
Luke appeared to cry in a display of emotion, after she accused him of being an actor and fake throughout the experiment.
Do Nathan and Lacey tie the knot?
Lacey and Nathan committed to one another in their final vows after ending the show on a high.
After a rough patch early on, when Nathan thought he was marrying her sister, and lacked interest on their honeymoon, they appeared to become one of the strongest couples in the experiment.
Despite displaying a picture perfect relationship in the last few weeks of the experiment, Lacey and Nathan have in fact split since the show, as revealed by The Sun.
When Adam left Polly...
Adam left Polly - and viewers - shocked when he quickly confessed that his bride wasn't his type on thier wedding day.
After weeks of stormy rows, bedroom antics, and brutal rejection for Polly, the couple made it to the end of the experiment when it was expected they'd say their final vows.
But Adam didn't really get a word in, as Polly had a lot to say and she accused him of lying about his feelings throughout the show.
He eventually stormed off, but as he made his exit Polly, dressed in her white wedding dress, yelled after him: "You're walking away again, you're a f*****g joke. You're embarrassing."
Who is still together?
Married at First Sight UK reached its dramatic climax last night as the couples faced their biggest decision yet.
Of the four couples who made it to the final vows, some have already gone their separate ways.
In the opening week viewers were introduced to brides Holly Ditchfield, Kristina Goodsell, Lacey Martin, Polly Sellman, Charlie Curtis, , Richelle Cade, Sacha Jones and Emma Barnes.
They were joined by grooms Alex Henry, Kieran Champan, Nathan Campbell, Adam Nightingale, Orson Nurse, Ross McCarthy and Caspar Todd.
A few weeks into the experiment they were joined by "invader couples" Hannah Norburn and Stephen Nolson, Sionainn Carmichael and Ryan Livesey and Amy Kenyon and Luke Debono.
Remember when …
Married At First Sight bride Emma Barnes revealed the reality of her relationship with husband Caspar Todd during their luxurious Jamaican honeymoon.
Caspar rudely told Emma that he rarely goes for “curvier women” and admitted he didn’t find her sexy.
Speaking to the programme’s official podcast, which is hosted by Chloe Burrows, Emma admitted it was far from the love-in she’d dreamed of. Ouch …
Adam Nightingale ‘swoops’ for Amy after MAFS drama
Adam Nightingale has sparked rumours that he's moved on with another bride after the latest episode of Married at First Sight.
Following a week of couple swapping, viewers have started to notice some undeniable chemistry between Adam and Amy Victoria
From the moment the couple swap took place, Adam made it clear that he wasn’t attracted to Polly, leading to ongoing tension throughout their marriage.
During the swap, Adam was paired with Amy, who was originally married to Luke Debono.
The two seemed to hit it off, and fans quickly picked up on their growing connection.
After the final vows aired, Adam, Amy, and fellow castmates Holly Louise and Alex Henry gathered to watch the episode together.
The group posted a snap on Instagram that had fans talking: in the photo, Adam is seen getting down on one knee, while Amy strikes a pose in a white dress, adding fuel to the rumours.
Sacha's tears take centre stage
Married at First Sight viewers have slammed Sacha as "selfish" after she appeared to force Ross to choose between her and his daughter, Blue, during their final vows.
The dramatic moment unfolded just hours after the Brummie bride accused E4 bosses of "doing her dirty" with the edit of their relationship.
Earlier in the experiment, Sacha had made it clear that their marriage would be over if Ross didn’t move to her hometown of Walsall.
However, Ross was hesitant about relocating, as his daughter lives in Manchester, and he didn't want to be too far away from her.
Fans were left fuming when Sacha broke down in tears during the final vows as Ross expressed his desire to stay close to Blue. Before he could finish his thoughts, Sacha stormed off, visibly upset and crying hysterically.
Explosive MAFS finale
In an explosive series reunion on Married at First Sight, Polly doused husband Adam with red wine after their final vows ended without a clear decision.
Last night, Adam stormed off after Polly accused him of being dishonest during their relationship.
The barber was left shell-shocked by her claims, telling the camera: "I'm a good liar? Absolutely baffled me. I've been honest with Polly since the get go."
As he made his exit Polly, dressed in a white wedding dress, yelled after him: "You're walking away again, you're a f*****g joke. You're embarrassing."
A timely reminder
Things were a little awkward when Adam met his bride-to-be last early in the series..
Polly approved of him, saying he was attractive and confirmed she fancied him – but Polly’s best mate was quick to notice Adam paid his bride no compliments at all when they met.
This was later confirmed by Adam, who admitted the initial attraction was “not 100% there, as she wasn’t his usual type since he goes for petite brunettes”.
Neither looked particularly sure.
Ratings success
MAFS UK is a ratings success, averaging two million viewers per episode last year, thanks to the mix of high-stakes romance and awkward introductions.
Remember this awkward moment for Nathan and Lacey?
Earlier in the series, viewers ripped into one of the new grooms over his shocking reaction to his bride’s heart-breaking personal tragedy.
Lacey Martin, pictured below, and Nathan Campbell headed for The Gambia and the couple appeared to be hitting it off after a couple of awkward moments during the ceremony.
But Lacey was left unimpressed during a conversation with her new husband about why she chooses not drive.
After Lacey explained that she lost two close friends after they were involved in car accidents and also experienced a collision herself, Nathan didn’t have the best response.
The engineer from Somerset simple nodded his head and muttered: “Cool.”
Nathan later apologised for his blunt reaction but fans were still furious.
Writing on social media, one said: “Their emotional incompatibility will break them first, also because he’s a moron.”
Another added: “He is not worth sitting through a “honeymoon” in the Gambia. Just no, walk away.”
