MAFS UK viewers make major U-turn on groom after his actions towards ‘bullied’ bride

Married At First Sight UK viewers have quickly changed their once-negative opinion of a particular groom for the way he behaved towards one of his co-stars in the latest dinner party.

Now, we already know by now that last night's episode was extremely explosive, packed full to the brim with drama.

A lot of the drama centred around Polly who branded Charlie a 'bully' following comments her bride Eve made about her.

The ordeal sparked a lot of outrage with Channel 4 viewers at home but, interestingly, the heated series of events led many to rethink their opinions on groom, Caspar.

Now, the 34-year-old gardener, who was matched up with 31-year-old Emma Barnes, hasn't been the most popular amongst audiences for how he handled his pairing.

Things were immediately off to a rocky start for him and Emma, and it only got worse when he shocked fans of the programme due to his 'disgraceful' behaviour towards her.

But public opinion has seemed to have shifted, as MAFS UK fans are now rushing to social media to praise Caspar for how he defended Charlie after Polly came for her.

One fan wrote: "In a turn of events my respect for Polly went down and my respect for Caspar went up."

Another penned: "Can I just say that I really appreciate [Caspar] tonight with the way he was checking in with Charlie and told Polly, a lot calmer and less harsh than I would have, that maybe she doesn't have all the facts and that Charlie isn't getting the same support as Eve."

They continued: "I had gone right off him but last night he seemed to be getting a bit better and tonight he's the main one who supported Charlie and I think he should get props for that. Good man."

"I can't believe Caspar was the only one who vocally had Charlie's back. How did no one else intervene?!" hit out a third.

Another defended: "A good reminder just because people aren’t good at intimate relationships doesn’t mean they can’t be good friends or decent people."

"Caspar is awful in a relationship, but he's a good person," penned a final viewer.

"For some people, those two traits together are hard to understand. It's unfortunate he's gone to this sort of show in terms of his relationship skills, but he's a solid friend and someone many of us would want in our corner."
