Viewers of last night's instalment of Married At First Sight UK were devastated to see another couple bite the dust, leaving the experiment for good in a shock exit.
In a heart-wrenching confession that left both the cast and fans at home in tears, the formerly loved-up pair called it quits for the final time.
Despite the series only having kicked off in September, we have already bid adieu to a staggering six MAFS UK couples.

Following a fiery first few days - which saw Eve Reid branded a 'manipulator' for accusing wife Charlie Curtis of 'bullying her', the pair sensationally sacked off the show in week two, with the former having seemingly gone public with a brand new love interest.
It took a few weeks for us to say goodbye to any other contestants - and then, all of a sudden, three couples left in one week.
Week six saw a bombshell 'cheating' scandal come to light, which saw Orson Nurse, who was previously coupled up with Richelle Cade, and Hannah Norburn, who was originally paired with Stephen Nolson, caught locking lips behind their partner's backs.
The two sets of couples split, but thankfully Hannah and Orson have since found a romantic spark with one another away from the cameras.

Viewers were heartbroken last week to see fan-favourite Emma Barnes depart from the series, after her husband Caspar Todd appeared unable to get over his lack of intimacy towards her.
And following a heated confrontation on the famous green sofa, Alex Henry and Holly Ditchfield called time on their marriage last week. Though, have since been papped snogging on the streets of Manchester - so, who really knows where they stand?
As we say, however, tears were shed by viewers last night (5 November) after one of the strongest couples from the 2024 series ended their relationship in a heartbreaking moment.

Sadly, it was much-loved stars Kieran Chapman and Kristina Goodsell who parted ways.
Leaving both audiences at home and fellow MAFS contestants teary-eyed, Kieran told his bride: "I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving this your all.
"I just genuinely wish you the best for the future. Don't change for anyone."
Kristina then told Kieran: "Thank you for the most magical, amazing day of my life at our wedding.

"I'm gutted but I do only wish you the best. You'll be in my life. Don't worry."
For those in need of a refresher of their romance, the pair instantly fell head over heels for one another when they first tied the knot, with Kieran setting his new bride into a fit of laughter by wearing a set of rotten false teeth for their nuptials.
Since then, their marriage went from strength to strength, with a loved-up honeymoon sealing the deal.

Their meetings with one another's families went down a treat, and after moving in together, it looked as though nothing could stand in their way.
A few weeks into the series, Kieran and Kristina endured their first bump in the road when Kristina opened up about her battle with PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder) - something her husband admitted he wasn't sure he could handle.
Then, things went from bad to worse when Kieran jokingly kissed another bride, leaving Kristina gutted, before admitting he had doubts about their future as a couple, fearing he might be 'wasting' his time.
And sadly, the pair were unable to make it through to the other day - much to the devastation of viewers.
"Not Kristina & Kieran. Love these guys!! So glad they have stayed friends. Was rooting for them," one fan penned on X.
Another gushed: "Kieran has known for weeks how he feels about Kristina.
"He's just finding it hard to admit it to himself, Kristina, and his friends and family."
A third added: "Not sure Kieran knows what he wants anymore. This PMDD has really put him off and he’s making every excuse under the sun not to just say it’s that. Kristina deserves better."
Married at First Sight UK airs every Monday to Thursday at 9.00pm on E4.
