MAFS UK contestant issues statement after ‘rude’ behaviour in controversial episode left viewers in shock
Last night's Married At First Sight UK episode was beyond intense, after one bride, Polly Sellman, was called out for her 'rude' behaviour' which left viewers in utter shock.
Now, the episode in question saw all the couples gather round at the dinner table to discuss their respective relationships and, let's just say, Polly was not afraid of speaking her mind.
The 28-year-old career advisor has addressed Eve and Charlie's marriage, which Channel 4 viewers will know has been quite the controversy online.

"Eve and Charlie, I don't have high hopes for them at all. It's giving toxic," Polly said, before Holly chipped in: "It actually upsets me because Eve has such a big heart and she genuinely just wants to be loved."
Polly then described Charlie as 'mean' and 'a little bit of a bully', which led to an explosive argument and Charlie leaving the room.
She also had a bone to pick with her hubby, Adam, about getting out of the friend zone, prompting the fellow couples attempt to chime in and help to which she told them all the 'shush'.
Her behaviour has clearly shocked many viewers at home leading the MAFS UK contestant to confront the backlash.
She since shared a series of statements to her 22.8k followers on Instagram.
The first reads: "Just a message about tonight's episode...
"Please remember to keep an open mind with things on TV.
"We saw a lot of Eve most days and nights as she was always with one of us, and Charlie hardly ever while we were in the apartments.
"Naturally, being closer with one party, you do believe what someone's saying to you about their partner if they're nowhere to be seen and you haven't spoke to them about anything."
She continued: "It's really upsetting to see how blindsided we all were with this situation but please know I (and the other girls) did apologise profusely to Charlie
and we are all good and speak daily."
The second statement added: "Also I get very get very overstimulated in certain stressful situations with a lot of alcohol and emotions involved.
"That's a me problem."
After receiving criticism on social media, Polly warned: "Guys if you're gonna troll me at least don't be in my requests where you're not seen and backing me cos I will start to out people.
"The support has been incredible for saying I took accountability and owned what I said and apologised, the other half have fallen into being hypocrites themselves with what they're saying to me but about others."
She continued: "I see everything.
"No but seriously thank you for all the support and I'll call it 'constructive criticism'.
"I'll take being a villain for an episode, gotta take the heat off Adam for a bit
haven't I."
And then, earlier this morning, Polly posted one more Instagram statement after posting an array of support from her fans which reads: "Christ alive, good morning everyone.
"Thank you for everyone supporting last night saying how difficult it is also being told different things by someone who's good at concealing the truth."
The reality TV star then hit back: "Everyone else coming at me for sticking my nose in is actually hilarious and insane to me, because if you're telling me you've never got involved in your friends relationship and put your advice is sometimes when it's not needed, in the words of Davide, LIER.
"I took accountability for what I said to Charlie and apologised which is probably more than anyone's ever done when they've done and said something they shouldn't have."
"Have a lovely day," Polly signed off.
Married at First Sight UK airs every Monday to Thursday at 9pm on E4.
