The Married at First Sight UK final is just around the corner but before we can find out which couples are set to skip off into the sunset together and which very much aren’t, there was the final dinner party to sit down to.
Following in the footsteps of the Australian version, this year producers orchestrated weekly dinner parties where all the couples sat down for a chat with lots of booze, and it’s fair to say they’ve not been the civilised affair you’d expect of a grown-up soirée.
This week was no exception, with producers laying an ‘honesty box’ component to the evening’s proceedings, where diners could submit anonymous questions for others in the group, and Matt – who made history as one half of the franchise’s first gay marriage this series – has gained praise on social media for his take down of Essex girl Morag.
Morag has made no secret of the fact that husband Luke “wasn’t exactly what [she] ordered,” and has previously told him to “be more manly” and that he had “an image problem”.

But when someone anonymously asked, “Why wasn’t the ‘old Luke’ good enough for you?” Matt was quick to jump in to defend him.
“I really want to know. I really want to know that,” said Matt to his husband Dan, before pointing out, “Luke has got the purest heart of everyone I’ve ever met. You would make anyone the most amazing husband in the world, and you know what Morag you are lucky to have a guy like that.”
