The controversy with this season’s MAFS UK cast just keeps coming. While every season of Married at First Sight UK has its issues, this season’s cast has suffered from more than its fair share of break-ups and cheating scandals.
First Brad Skelly left the experiment after he was accused of abusive behaviour towards his wife Shona Masterson.
Then, Luke Worley was asked to leave the show after a brawl between him and Jordan Gayle.
The latest controversy surrounds Peggy Rose, who fans have accused of belittling and gaslighting her husband Georges Berthonneau.
As Peggy and Georges struggled to understand each other, viewers tweeted an onslaught of comments accusing Peggy of constantly trying to change her husband.
The pair encountered differences at every stage - including Peggy having an issue with Georges' squatting habits on live stream and the lack of intimacy in their relationship. Georges, who noticed the backlash against Peggy, recently released a statement on his Instagram account urging fans to take it easy on his wife.
Paul C. Brunson, who is one of the experts on the show alongside Mel Schilling and Charlene Douglas, has now defended himself and the other MAFS UK experts. He tweeted, “It’s important to understand that the couples sit on the couch for up to 60 minutes. You only see about six (or less). We give extensive advice. So, just because you don’t see it doesn't mean it didn't happen.”

Paul explained, “It is a powerful story because she ends up offering me a job to co-host a television show with her on her brand-new network off of this YouTube series that no one was watching but Oprah, my mother and like two other people.
