MARRIED At First Sight UK fans were left in shock last night as TWO couples split and left the show in a dramatic episode.
After the couples headed to their commitment ceremonies, two of them admitted they had issues they felt they couldn’t move past.
Fans were left in shock at who decided to leave last night
Jess and Pjay were among the two couples to walk away
Viewers were shocked as Jess and Pjay, 31 – who were married on the E4 dating show earlier this month – decided they would not continue.
Despite admitting she enjoyed Pjay’s company, Jess, 31, told the experts she was struggling to see him as more than a friend.
As she was quizzed on whether there was anything worth fighting for, the dental nurse told the MAFS UK panel she wanted to leave her marriage as she broke down in tears.
Richie, 51, and Lara, 49, also decided to walk away from the experiment after several bumps in the road with their marriage.
Lara simply explained that she believed Richie was not the man for her, and decided to walk away, leaving Richie “heartbroken”.
Fans were expecting a THIRD couple to walk away but were left in shock when unlikely Whitney and Duka, 31, vowed to stick together during the commitment ceremony.
The couple had an explosive row earlier in the week where the PA accused her husband of being “fake” and refused to move in with him.
The bride was branded a “vile bully” for her behaviour towards Duka as she “humiliated” him in front of their co-stars.
However, the pair appeared to have turned a corner last night as they both said nice words about each other and their marriage.
The sudden change of heart had fans in shock – as they were certain the couple would be the third marriage to end.
“Whitney and Duka??? What is going on????” one wrote on Twitter, as another chimed in: “I don’t get it. How are they being nice?”
“How have Whitney and Duka gone from the most problematic couple to the least problematic couple?” a third asked.
As a fourth agreed: “Is it just me that feels like we missed an entire series of Duka and Whitney because I’m not understanding what happened or is happening.”
While a fifth said: “Not Whitney and Duka going from pure chaos to happy and chilled in breakneck speed.”
Divisive bride Whitney has been dubbed “the new show villain” after arguing with another bride and mocking her groom’s Yugoslavian name.
She also threatened to pull out of the wedding at the altar and rolled her eyes when Duka said his vows.
Whitney tried to get a reaction out of her husband on the honeymoon as she branded him “fake” and claimed she’d lost her wedding ring.
Fans were certain that Whitney and Duka would leave
