A body language expert has pin-pointed the exact moment that shows Married At First Sight UK star Charlie was apparently 'lying' in last night's explosive episode that left viewers well and truly shocked.
Previously, we saw viewers call Eve a 'gaslighter' and branded her and Charlie as the 'most incompatible couple' in show’s entire history.
Then, backlash following Tuesday's heated episode went on to leave a bunch of Channel 4 viewers so 'uncomfortable' they even called for her to be removed from the TV show altogether.

After that, MAFS UK viewers rushed to social media to hit out that Charlie didn’t deserve to be treated that way at all while pointing issue with Eve’s 'awful' behaviour after the pair became the first couple to leave this year’s experiment in last night's episode (2 October) in a dramatic commitment ceremony.
"I'm conflicted. Yes, it's the right decision but it's still tough walking away from people you have feelings for," Charlie told cameras.
"I'm leaving a heartbroken woman right now."
Since then, a body language expert has given Tyla the lowdown on Charlie and Eve's controversial exit interview.
Speaking on behalf of Spin Genie, Darren Stanton analysed that Eve showed 'an expression of contempt', adding there was 'also an element of sadness there, because the eyes are pulled together'.
"The chin thrust from Eve is interesting, as this shows there’s anger in there too.
"It’s a sign from people of arrogance, it’s a power gesture, and she is the confident one here," he noted.
He also spotted the exact moment Eve lied to her former bride after she wished her 'all the best'.
"She gives the most patronising fake smile, it’s fantastic footage demonstrating those micro expressions at work," Darren told us.
"We see a similar chin thrust gesture from Charlie, as well as raised eyebrows, which shows some anger too."
He carried on: "We later see a bilateral shoulder shrug. If you watch it in real time, [Charlie] says 'I wish you all the best in your marriages’, and she lifts her right shoulder, that’s a deception.
"When we want to appear indifferent or we’re not quite sure, we’ll shrug our shoulders."
According to the expert, when we’re trying to sell a lie unconsciously, our body 'doesn’t give a true answer, it will fabricate it'.
"It takes a second or so to kick in, so only one shoulder moves," Darren added.
"When she wishes them well, she really isn’t - that is a lie."
He also claimed Charlie felt 'disgust' here too as her head is slightly down, her nose is crinkled and her eyebrows are up which 'shows disgust of the whole situation'.
Married at First Sight UK airs every Monday to Thursday at 9.00pm on E4.
