Married at First Sight UK viewers have been left cheering after an explosive argument between Sacha and Alex popped off.
The latest episode of Channel 4's MAFS UK has proved to have been a little tense, with the aforementioned pair butting heads over Alex’s alleged misogynistic comments towards women.
Fans were reeling during the 22 October screening, which has definitely topped the scale of what is the most drama-fuelled scene.
I mean, okay, so we had the whole Hannah and Orson 'lipsed' thing going off last week, which led to both sets of couples deciding to leave the experiment.

But Tuesday’s episode saw Alex, who is coupled up with Holly, getting put in his place for his comments to Rochelle for allegedly 'talking sh*t.
He made scathing comments to both Rochelle and Lacey for blowing open the Hannah and Orson affair, and wasn’t best pleased with Rochelle for telling the experts that Orson and Hannah were having a double date with him and Holly.
Sacha, who's married to the show's first deaf contestant, Ross, then took it upon herself to call out Alex for his behaviour after it was clear that none of the grooms were planning to check him.
Despite his thoughts on Sacha, who didn’t even have her husband to back her up, viewers are all on her side and are saying the same thing: that it's about time Alex was put in his place, and they're glad Sacha is the one to do it.
Viewers of the episode took to X, formerly Twitter, to air their support for her refusing to back down against Alex.
One person wrote: “Sacha the littlest woman in this experiment having to be the one to stand up to Alex while all the men sit and watch him antagonise the women is really f*cking me off.”
Someone else said: “Yessssss Sacha. Call out that misogyny!!! Show Alex for what he is!!! Amazing woman.”
Another penned: “Sacha is 100% correct. Stand up for her especially when Alex spoke to her like sh*t.”
One person scathed: “Alex is an absolute wind up merchant he knows how to trigger people.”
A user saw through Alex, clear as day: “Oh we’ve all had an Alex at some point in our life that we have been f*cking glad to be rid of. Sach - don’t rise to it. Don’t meet that level of narcissistic behaviour. The ‘F*ck You’ was justified. What a c*nt Alex is.”
The argument saw Sacha say to the angry groom: "Don't do that to me Alex, I don't think you need to turn to Richelle and say, 'you're talking f*cking sh*t' and turn to Lacey and say 'you're a snake', there's certain ways of addressing things calmly."
Sacha continued: "You don't need to attack, attack, attack. I've sat here and watched you attack the women either end and it's f*cking me off because I didn't like it Alex."
Alex told the cameras after the incident: "Holly's annoyed, I've told Lacey that I think she's a snake and now you've got Sacha coming at me, just be quiet, your voice is going straight through me.
"If I was Ross, I would be telling my wife to pipe down, not everything needs your two pence."
