MAFS star Hannah Norburn has left her social media followers dumbfounded today after lifting a lid on a move that TV producers attempted to pull following her and Orson Nurse's shock departure from the show.
Earlier in the week, the pair walked away from the on-screen love experiment after being caught cheating together.
Married At First Sight fans have to endure more head-spinning drama in the last week than on the month-long series so far.

Viewers were completely blindsided during last night's episode to see one of the strongest couple - Kieran and Kristina - torn apart after he locked lips with another bride.
And days earlier, hope was almost lost for Ross and Sacha after they became embroiled in a heated spat, following their involvement in other couples' relationship woes.
Amongst all the bombshells dropped and tears shed in the last seven days, however, the most shocking moment has to be the news that Hannah and Orson had been secretly cheating with one another behind their respective partners' backs.
Orson was previously coupled up with Richelle, though cracks began to show within days of married life, after she made a series of controversial comments about his sensitivity.

Hannah, meanwhile, was paired with Stephen, though the duo were ceaselessly at logger-heads.
After fans suspected chemistry growing between them, the pair shocked their cast-mates by revealing that they'd secretly locked lips behind the scenes in one of this year's biggest scandals.
The two broken couples have since left the series, with Hannah since sharing several snaps alongside her newfound love interest, alluding to the fact that she and Orson have been making a go of things in the outside world.

Now, however - in an unexpected twist of fate - she has also taken to social media to reveal that Channel 4 producers actually invited her and Orson back to the show following their departure.
She added, however, that neither of them wished to rejoin their disgruntled, former cast-mates - even if they could have formed a new couple together.
Sharing a snap alongside her new beau - as well as a handful of the series' bosses - she penned in the caption: "Throwback to our cute little filmed date night that didn’t make it on the show but we had a great time drinking wine & chatting about life @orson_nurse.

"(Getting my amazing honeymoon crew back aswell for my final scenes was also super special!)"
She then revealed: "Despite being offered the opportunity to re enter the experiment together Orson & I decided jumping back into that stressful environment after all that had happened just wasn’t the right thing for either of us to do.
"I will always be so grateful for the loyalty, support & respect Orson showed me from day 1 and every day since - he’s a real one for sure and I’ll always appreciate him finally bringing my smile back after such a tough time."
Many fans have since inundated Hannah and Orson with their well wishes, with many claiming they wished that they had returned to the dating series as a new couple.

"He didn't look at this wife the way he looked at you," one penned in the comments. "I personally think you should have gone for it."
Another wrote: "Ahh damn it wanted to see you both more".
Others, however, thought it best that the two continue their romance away from the cameras.
"Good on you both and good luck moving forward," one gushed.
Another continued: "Well done for not going back to the circus! Hope you find true love".
"Oh it would have been so lovely if something good came from it for both of you," a third went on. "But I think your decision not to go back was spot on."
Channel 4 declined to comment when contacted by Tyla.
