Married At First Sight UK was thrown into chaos on Monday night as two couples dramatically decided to leave the experiment and one husband admitted to kissing another wife. 

The shocking Commitment Ceremony episode saw both Hannah and Stephen, and Richelle and Orson, walk from the show after the ongoing cheating scandal erupted.

It came to light that Orson and Hannah had shared a kiss on the last night of the couple’s retreat, which was plagued by a series of fiery arguments.  

As they sat down on the sofa to speak with the experts, Stephen explained: ‘All I’m hearing is she’s trying it with everyone’s husbands. It’s just making me completely check out even more.

‘I will never deny the fact that our wedding day was special but no. Last week, before I wrote leave I was still in the mindset of “I don’t think I can be the man you need”.

He continued: ‘But my mindset is very much now, I don’t want to be your man. I don’t think you’re in it for me, I think you’re in it for… I don’t know what the reasons are and why you’re here. So for those reasons, I’m going to leave.’

Agreeing to call it quits, Hannah chimed in with:  ‘I think this is probably my opportunity to try and leave this process as amicably as I can with everybody. 

‘As much as whatever’s happened, happened, I do think deep down you are a good guy and you’ll make someone happy. It’s meant to be about marriage and ours hasn’t worked so I am going to leave.’  

Later in the chaotic episode, Orson dropped the cheating bombshell, admitting ‘On the last night of the retreat me and Hannah were speaking and we shared a kiss. There was a little connection there. I’m not going to lie.

‘What I had was done, I knew what she was in was done so honestly I didn’t feel like I was walking on anybody’s toes or disrespecting anyone.’

Mel asked: ‘What impact did you think that had on Richelle?’ to which Orson fired back: ‘If I’m being totally honest Mel, and this might come across wrong, I didn’t really care about Richelle in that moment.’

The intense scenes got more heated when Richelle gave her verdict on the marriage, claiming she can sense ‘desperation’ from Orson and that he wants to stay in the process by ‘any means necessary’.

She angrily quipped: ‘He saw an opportunity with Hannah to recouple and stay in the process. He jumped at it. You’re an embarrassment to yourself at this point.’

Revealing his decision, Orson announced: ‘I feel like I was trying and trying and trying. It was just like squeezing blood from a stone.

‘Just get me out of here please,’ he swiped, after writing on his piece of paper: ‘Leave now’.

Richelle hit back with: ‘Before I came into this process I asked for a strong, intelligent man who has a bit of integrity and I haven’t found that in Orson at all.

‘I find him quite weak-willed, you really aren’t as sharp as you think you are. It’s pretty obvious I think to most people that you’re a bit simple. He definitely lacks any shred of integrity.

‘So, one week too late, but it’s obvious – leave.’

The jaw-dropping episode comes MAFS stars are reportedly being threatened with a five-figure fine to ensure they don’t reveal their relationship status before the show’s finale airs – despite a few slip-ups already creeping through.

Show bosses want to keep viewers who have been intently keeping up with the newlyweds on their toes, meaning they’ll have to wait until the reunion episode to find out whether their favourites made it all the way.

A source told The Sun: ‘Production have told all the brides and grooms that they will be fined 10k if they are seen in public with their TV spouse before the show has finished airing, as they don’t want to ruin the end reveals.

‘The show is filmed so many months in advance that producers are always worried about leaks.’

They added: ‘So they put this big clause in to make sure the participants don’t give the game away.’

MailOnline approached E4 for comment, and a spokesperson denied the claims.
