THE LATEST episode of Married at First Sight saw tensions flare yet again between one of the most combative couples on the show.
In a heated confrontation aired tonight, a groom accused his wife of playing up to the cameras when an argument between them left her in tears.
Alex and Holly have had a rocky relationship ever since they were paired up by the reality show’s experts.
In previous episodes of MAFS UK, Holly burst into tears after Alex told her in the real world he would have ghosted her.
Another dinner party saw her storming out after she tried to ask him about a comment he made to other grooms at the stag do.
When she asked why he said he would swap brides if he didn’t like his, Alex refused to respond on camera.
At the most recent dinner party, another row erupted between Holly and Alex when he spoke more to the new bride sitting beside him than to his wife.
Holly left the room in a huff and complained about the situation to one of her friends, but Alex got riled up about it and complained that she was overreacting.
When she tried to pull him aside to a private room for a conversation, he again said he would not discuss their problems on camera, insisting on doing it behind closed doors.
Ahead of tonight’s commitment ceremony, Alex complained that he feels Holly only brings up issues between them when they are being filmed.
As she cried over their most recent conflict, he groaned: “She’s doing it for the cameras”.
However, audience members have rushed to her defence, pointing out that Alex was inundated with abuse allegations when he signed up for the E4 show.
One person boldly stated: “I totally understand Holly not wanting to confront Alex without cameras there. He is intimidating. He is abusive.”
Another added: “‘Doing for the cameras’ or Holly is too intimidated to confront you privately Alex. He is dangerous.”
A third raged: “BRB Googling how to file an Ofcom complaint against Alex on MAFS.”
Someone else suggested the couple should have been split up by the production team.
