MAFS UK viewers were 'filled with rage' after they spotted some 'chilling' behaviour from groom Alex Henry during Monday's (28 October) episode.
The penultimate commitment ceremony came to a close with Alex and wife Holly sitting down in front of the experts to discuss a tumultuous week.
It all kicked off between the couple during last week's commitment ceremony, when Holly was unhappy with the way Alex had spoken to some of the girls, including Lacey, who he called a 'snake'.

And things went from bad to worse, after Holly felt Alex wasn't being sensitive about the fact she'd been missing her two children.
In the end, Holly decided to leave the show for a few days to see her kids, leaving Alex to take part in the activities on his own.
She returned to the group during this week's dinner party, but the pair were unable to reconcile their differences and ended up writing leave during the commitment ceremony.
It wasn't the only moment during that Alex's behaviour came under the microscope.
When Sacha and Ross sat down with the experts, they unpacked a tense moment between Ross and Alex, in which Ross asked Alex to apologise to Sacha for the way he'd spoken to her.
Alex refused, which led to Ross storming off.
When expert Paul Brunson Ross if he was now 'at square one' with Alex, he said: "No, he can f**k off. He took it too far."
Alex, meanwhile, could be seen smirking, later telling experts: "I'm sorry for what I said to Sacha. Whether she accepts it or not, that's another story."
Viewers watching at home said they were 'filled with rage' over Alex's smirking, with one calling it 'chilling'.
One viewer wrote: "That alex on #MAFSUK is the most horrific man I've ever seen his smug smile fills me with so much rage."
While another said: "The red mist that comes over me when Alex smirks."
And a third added: "Sorry but Alex’s smiling face is making me crack up cz he knows it aggravates people but also they look mad shouting at him if he’s just smiling."
And a fourth added: "Oh my alex’s facial expressions are so patronising he clearly has no respect for women and it’s so infuriating."
Meanwhile, a fifth said: "There’s something EVIL about the way Alex smirks after verbally attacking the girls."
And a sixth said: "Alex's fake smile is chilling."
