MAFS UK fans stunned as Luke calls wife Amy ‘bloated’ in shocking move
MARRIED At First Sight UK viewers were left stunned after Luke took a swipe at Amy’s appearance in an old photo.
This week, the remaining couples of the E4 experiment are on homestays, with each visiting their loved ones and local areas to see how they fit into each other’s lives.
However, with Luke and Amy already struggling, it appeared the couple went from bad to worse when Amy brought her new husband home to Blackburn.
Showing him around her home, Luke stopped when he saw an old photo of Amy on her staircase wall.
Amy beamed that the picture was from when she went with her family in Ibiza, but was left far from pleased with Luke’s comments.
Shocked, Amy asked him to repeat himself, causing him to say she looked “bloated” in the picture and was “skinnier” now.
“I prefer you now, is this before the glow up?” he asked, causing her to sarcastically say “thanks”.
“You look stunning there, but you look stunning here more. You look skinnier now than in there,” he continued.
“You look skinnier now than in here. In here you look… bloated.”
“I’m absolutely fuming right now. Luke’s saying i basically look hideous in this photo,” she told cameras.
“Nothing’s changed I just had my teeth done. Bit of filler in my lip. That’s it. Glow up? Bloated?!”
Viewers were stunned at his comments, and believe that Amy has begun to “check out” of the relationship after multiple arguments with little change.
“Luke is 100% being petty now comments about her ‘pre glow up’, the mould in her room lmao,” one fan wrote on X.
“Lol Amy and Luke need to call it a day,” said a second. “How he communicates and how she receives said communication are polar opposites. They shouldn’t even finish the week together.”
A third noted: “Luke just verbalises every single thought he has. He needs to take a moment and think about what he’s about to say before he says it.”
“Brother, Luke, please, just stop,” said a fourth. “I mean, you’re hilarious but come on man, you’re not helping yourself.”
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.”
Things went from bad to worse for the couple, with the next morning not making things any easier.
While he got on like a house on fire with her beloved dog, it seemed he and Amy were not on the same page when it came to communication.
He later pointed out the mould in the corner of her bedroom, prompting yet another argument between them.
Prior to their Blackburn visit, the couple had already had a barney at Luke’s house, when he was caught out lying about cutting up a photograph he had on his wall.
When Amy asked why half a photograph on his wall was missing, Luke initially said he “wanted it to be a portrait photo”.
However, Amy didn’t buy it, and he eventually admitted that there was a woman in the photo he had since cut out.
Fans think that this is the beginning of the end for the couple, with nothing seeming to get them on the same page.
“Why is Luke just digging himself holes left right and centre hahahah just tell the truth big man,” one wrote.
While another said: “Amy’s checked out and wants Luke to do something bad enough to justify her dumping him.”
“Amy and Luke are done, she’s checked out,” noted another.
By the end of the episode, Luke had declared himself a “single man” to her friends, saying that he felt “disrespected” and was “being portrayed in the wrong way”.
Married At First Sight UK continues tomorrow at 9pm on E4.
