We can all agree that this season of Married at First Sight UK has been jam-packed with endless bombshell revelations, jaw-dropping scenes and a whole load of relationship chaos.
The latest drama sees JJ Slater, 30, and 29-year-old Ella Morgan being allowed to return to the show after 'cheating' on their previous respective spouses.
JJ was originally paired up with Bianca Petronzi, 29, but their marriage soon crumbled after his alleged affair with Ella was revealed.
Meanwhile, Nathanial Valentino, 36, who was married to Ella, also chose to leave the Channel 4 experiment after their infidelity was uncovered and it's now crystal clear that fans are absolutely raging after the pair rocked up as a brand-new couple. Have a look:

In yesterday's episode (25 October), viewers tuned in to watch the shock return and have not held back with opinions on the matter.
Many have taken to X, formerly Twitter, to voice their verdict, with one hitting out: "I’m sorry but how is Ella allowed back? Can they not bring Bianca back with a decent man who will treat her the way she should’ve been treated from the start?!"
A second claimed: "I'm sorry, but if Ella and JJ were actually genuine about getting to know each other, they'd do it on the outside.
"They're clearly just here for their five minutes of fame."
"Once upon a time MAFS was about matching genuine couples. Now it’s about viewing figures," penned a third. "Really angry about the reintroduction of Ella and JJ. What a joke! Experts should be ashamed of themselves."
A final X user echoed: "What a joke letting Ella and JJ back."
Yikes.
Ahead of last night's episode, MailOnline previously claimed that Ella cheated on her hubby with a groom that entered the series at a later date.
According to the outlet, the pair were given permission by the show's relationship experts to re-enter the series as a new couple, to the surprise of their fellow co-stars.
A source reportedly told the publication: "Ella and Nathanial tried to take their relationship to the next level but agreed they were better off as friends.
"Nathanial was so disappointed by Ella's actions, he thought they had a mutual respect for each other and kissing someone else in the process went against his values."
The source added: "Ella loved the attention she received from JJ because it's what she missed in her marriage to Nathanial.
"After initially leaving the show when their marriages failed, Ella and JJ were given permission by the relationship experts to come back, which certainly ruffled feathers among the cast who have taken the process seriously from the beginning."
Tyla has reached out to Channel 4 for comment.
