Married At First Sight UK viewers are divided about this contestant’s shocking remarks.

Married At First Sight UK viewers were taken aback when they saw loved-up groom Luke make a joke about his wife Amy’s appearance in an old snapshot. Homestays week continued on Sunday night’s edition of Married At First Sight UK (which aired Monday, November 4th), with Luke paying a visit to Amy’s home in Blackburn. Stopping to stare at a picture of Amy on the staircase, Luke angered his wife with harsh remarks, telling her, “I prefer you now.” Is this before the glow-up? “Thanks” she answered sarcastically.

“You look lovely there, but much more so here. “You look thinner now than you did before,” he said. “You seem thinner than you did in here. In here, you appear… swollen.” Married at First Sight UK is nearing the end of its current season, and several of the initial couples have already split up. Luke and Amy had a solid start with mutual interest, but they’ve subsequently started arguing secretly.

Married At First Sight UK viewers have since resorted to X (previously Twitter) to express their thoughts on Luke’s words, and the results are divided. One Channel 4 show viewer defended Luke, writing, ‘Nah, I don’t blame Luke. He has trouble reading the room and exaggerates a little too much, yet they’re acting like he’s an onlyfans superstar ffs.

While another said, “Good.” Amy is horrified. She did not believe Luke would go. The sad part is, I believe @PaulCBrunson and co. will not hold Amy accountable; instead, they will just remind Luke that he was wrong to put a ring down. Meanwhile, another person asked, ‘What are your plans with Amy? What about her father? And they are intended to be married. We are not dating. I can understand why Luke feels set up.

And another, who had previously defended him, said, “To be honest, I think Luke has been the loveliest husband all season.” He may cringe and cannot express his love through acts, but he strives to do it through words. He is simply expressing his desire for a passionate marriage, and this is suddenly considered a crime? Sacha dogging him for no reason is quite uncomfortable.
