MAFS UK fans set for most explosive episode yet as wife walks and strongest couple crack

Married at First Sight UK fans should steel themselves ahead of tonight's episode (October 22) which promises to ramp up the intensity following Monday's fiery commitment ceremony.

In the previous episode, fans witnessed escalating tensions when Hannah and Stephen decided to end their stormy marriage. At the same time, Richelle disclosed that her husband Orson had been developing a secret relationship with Hannah, leading Lacey to reveal that it had turned physical in the form of a kiss.

Lacey's bombshell did not sit well with Alex, who branded her a 'snake' for meddling. He also confronted Richelle for suggesting he and his partner Holly had participated in an off-camera double date with Hannah and Orson.

The drama escalated further when Sacha, annoyed by Alex's tone, accused him of targeting the women in the group. This sparked additional conflict between Sacha and her husband Ross when she challenged him for not supporting her during her heated discussion with Alex, asserting "my drama is your drama."

Ross's stance of staying out of the fray seems to signal the demise of their union. A sneak peek of tonight's show hints at growing strife between the pair, reports the Mirror.

Sacha is seen telling Ross, "I am not comfortable with you being in this apartment", adding: "I am going to struggle to recover from this. F***** up my head." In response, Ross gets up and declares "I'm going".

Recounting their relationship's breakdown to OK!, Sacha revealed: "I actually end up piping up at some point, somebody puts 20p in me, and all of a sudden I end up having a disagreement with one of the other male cast members."

"It does end up getting between me and Ross and causing a little bit of friction between us, because he is friends with one of them, and it all goes t*ts up from there."

Ross has recently made his new relationship public, confirming to fans of MAFS UK that he and Sacha did not last beyond the show. Although they reached the final vows and are said to have briefly lived together after filming, their romance concluded shortly thereafter.

In tonight's episode, dubbed Love/Hate week, couples will be laying bare their feelings about each other in no uncertain terms. Additionally, viewers can expect a startling confession from Holly, who, amidst tears, tells Lacey she's "going home" and demands of the cameras "get me out of here."

MAFS UK continues tonight at 9pm on E4
