MARRIED At First Sight’s Sacha and Ross have baffled fans with their ongoing issue about where to move.
On Monday night’s episode, the home stay week continued with Sacha bringing Ross to Walsall to visit her family.
Sacha was determined to show him the highlights of the area in a bid to make him move there from Manchester.
However, Ross has reservations as his daughter, Blue, is currently living in Manchester and he didn’t want to be too far away from her.
With Sacha wanting to remain closer to her family, it seems the pair have hit a roadblock in making their relationship work.
However, this came as a bit of a shock to viewers – especially when they discovered that Walsall and Manchester is only about an hour-and-a-half drive down the motorway from each other.
As a result, some are accusing them of playing up the issue, wondering why they don’t move somewhere in the middle to make things work.
They also thought they were blowing the issue way out of proportion.
Speaking on X, one fan wrote: “For a bit of context, Walsall and Manchester are a 1 hr 40 mins drive apart – I drive 1 hr 20 mins (each way) to work, twice a week. It’s really not the dealbreaker they are making it out to be!”
“Being from the North of Scotland, I thought the distances Ross and Sacha were talking about were enormous!” said another,
“Then I googled it and realised Manchester and Walsall are a 1 hr 40 min drive apart! That is absolutely nothing!”
“Get a grip, it’s literally down the road… it’s not another country Sasha!!!” said a third.
A fourth joked: “Last time I looked Manchester was 90 mins from Walsall. Not 3 flights, a visitors visa and a malaria injection away.”
“For the love of God it’s like 70 miles from Manchester to Walsall. This is NOT A BIG DEAL,” said a fifth.
“Why don’t Ross and Sacha get a place in between Manchester and Walsall (like Stoke on Trent)?” noted another.
“Then they’d only be an hour from each place. That’s doable, no?”
The pair’s marriage hangs in the balance of the decision, with the final commitment ceremony coming up quickly.
Currently, it looks like nearly all the couples are hanging on by a thread, with Kieran and Kristina returning to their homes alone, and Polly and Adam spending the entire time arguing.
Things didn’t look much brighter for Luke and Amy, who seem to be unable to get through a single conversation without triggering an argument.
A dinner with her friends resulted in Luke declaring himself “a single man” much to the anger of Amy.
Nathan and Lacey appear to be the only couple who could go the distance at this moment in time, with the pair getting closer by the day to the approval of Lacey’s mum.
Married At First Sight UK continues tomorrow at 9pm on E4.
