MAFS UK viewers were furious last night after the show appeared to edit out an important commitment ceremony scene.
There was high drama when it was Charlie and Eve’s turn to face the music and be critiqued by the relationship experts.
Charlie called out Eve for ‘spying’ on her when she was caught listening in to her confessional to camera.
Despite viewers having seen Eve get caught in the act, the under fire wife denied any wrongdoing.
Her refusal to accept responsibility left Charlie shaking and tearful, but, much to her relief, Mel Schilling came to her aid and told the room that Eve had lied.
However, that was as far as the intervention went, at least on screen anyway, with no further mention of the incident.
It left viewers angry and confused.
One wrote on a fan forum: “My jaw was on the floor after the “experts” witnessed Eve gaslight Charlie right in front of them and they still wanted them to resolve things and stay together!”
Another said: “Yeah why did Eve not get questioned on listening in at all.”
A third said: “Completely brushed past her lying! What did cut out,? The editors have a lot to answer for. Eve has not been shown to have been challenged on her behaviour at all.”
A fourth said: “I was fuming, I don’t know they can call themselves ‘experts’ with a straight face. I thought when we had had nearly 20 minutes left they’d go in on Eve but it was such a nothingburger.”
Eve and Charlie hit it off immediately after meeting for the first time on their wedding day.
But cracks started to show when they headed off on their honeymoon – which ended in lots of tears, arguments and sleeping in separate rooms.
Their relationship didn’t appear to improve when they got back to the UK – and Eve even refused to move in with Charlie to their new apartment.
Tensions reached boiling point last night when Charlie revealed that Eve had been listening in on her interview after the dinner party.
Charlie fumed at Eve: “You went into my safe space, put your ear against the door in my interview, that you should not have done.
“You took that upon yourself to do that.
“To listen to my interview, after the dinner party, and got your back up because of an action you took.”
Eve asked: “What did I say?”
“You sat in that room and you glared at me like I had done the worst thing in the world,” Charlie replied.
Eve said: “That’s not true.”
Charlie fumed back: “You literally listened into my safe space, MY interview. You took that upon yourself to do that.”
Eve denied this, prompting a frustrated Charlie to ask: “Why is it always my fault?!
“Take some accountability for the mistakes and issues that you’ve made.”
Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.
The pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam’s Doncaster home.
Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.
Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.
Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: “I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out – and excited for everything to come.”
Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.
Owen recalled: “I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.
“While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.
“The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if I signed up?’
“A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.”
Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.
Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna’s vegan lifestyle, the show’s first same sex pairing are still going strong.
They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.
Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: “We’re not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship.”
Eve told Charlie to “stop telling lies”.
Expert Paul Brunson told the pair they were going to get to the bottom of what happened.
Charlie started crying hysterically and expert Charlene Douglas told her to breathe.
Expert Mel then told the pair: “Eve, with respect, you’ve lied on the couch today.”
The couple left the experiment shortly after when they both decided to walk away from the relationship.
