MAFS UK fans accuse Polly of sabotaging couple’s relationship as her marriage to Adam falls apart
Polly and Adam imploded tonight
MARRIED At First Sight fans have slammed Polly and accused her of trying to sabotage another couple after explosive scenes at last night’s dinner party.
The infamous honesty box returned to the E4 show last night, with the couples answering personal questions in front of each other.
And Polly was branded a “mean girl” by Married At First Sight fans after she took sides in another couple’s relationship.
Polly took Charlie to one side and told her she was being a “bully” in very awkward scenes – but viewers accused her of “ganging up” on her co-star.
Viewers also said that Polly was determined to take down another couple after her own relationship hit the skids.
One furious MAFS UK fan wrote on Reddit: “Just because Polly is in a garbage relationship she wants to destroy someone else’s!”
Another echoed: “The way she spoke to Charlie (on tv no less) without even asking about the situation from her viewpoint, is really s****y. Nevermind SOOOO much projection.”
A third chimed: “She hasn’t got a relationship so needs to stir it for other ppl.”
The first honesty box of the series sent shockwaves through the group, with the couples answering personal questions in front of each other.
Caspar and Emma kicked things off by discussing their sex life.
Emma expressed that it was the biggest factor missing in their relationship so far and hoped they would get to a point of intimacy.
Later on, Charlie told Eve she was “serious” about the experiment and wanted her wife to grab the show by the horns and allow her to show that her intentions are genuine.
It was Polly’s turn to read her question to Adam.
She asked him: “Adam, what do you think you should do to prevent us from being stuck in the friendzone?”
However, he doesn’t take well to being asked this question and starts to get annoyed.
Adam replied: “If we’re stuck in the friendzone, that’s because I’m not ready to take it to the next step.
“And if I take it to that next step and then in a couple of weeks’ time say I’m not feeling it still, that would upset you and hurt you.”
Polly responded: “But I feel like you’ve dodged that question because that’s what you say to that every time you’re asked it.”
Adam said: “But that is the truth. That’s not really dodging the question.”
She then repeated the question, so that he can understand what she was saying better, but this angers him further.
Her fellow co-stars try to clarify the question but Polly tells them to “shush”, leaving them shocked.
Adam said: “I feel like you’re speaking to me in a tone I’ve not heard before,” with Kieran piping up and saying: “You’re overthinking that in your head.”
Others also tried to jump in, but Polly wasn’t having any of it and said: “Everyone just shut up for a minute,” leaving the cast stunned.
Lashing out at his bride, Adam says: “You’re speaking to me like s**t!”
He then concluded by saying: “I knew they were going to be s**t questions anyway.”
She was left in floods of tears and fumed: “You’ve made me look like a d***head in front of everyone.”
She then yelled at the group to be quiet again, before storming off and walking out on the dinner party.
Mafs couples that have stood the test of time
Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.
The pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam’s Doncaster home.
Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.
Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.
Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: “I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out – and excited for everything to come.”
Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.
Owen recalled: “I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.
“While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.
“The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if I signed up?’
“A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.”
Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.
Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna’s vegan lifestyle, the show’s first same sex pairing are still going strong.
They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.
Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: “We’re not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship.”
