Married at First Sight UK's Luke Debono has issued a plea to fans after Amy Kenyon revealed his 'real' reaction to her vows.
Amy and Luke have had plenty of ups and downs during the show, but during their final vows on Tuesday's episode (12 November) Amy delivered a 'savage' speech in which she ultimately ended their relationship.
Arriving at their final vows dressed in black, Amy called their marriage 'done, dead, deceased' after admitting she 'didn't believe a word out of his mouth'.

"Luke, I joined the experiment to find my forever person. You were my Prince Charming, you showed me you were a gentleman. There's never been a dull day and we've had so many laughs and you've taught me a lot about myself," she said.
"However, I've tried so hard to let my walls down but the continuous lies have stopped our marriage moving forward.
"Marriage is based on trust and you've pushed me to a point I don't believe a word out of your mouth.
"I know my worth and you aren't worthy of me. This marriage is done, dead, deceased. I stand here in black to mourn it's death. RIP."
Just moments before, Luke had expressed his hopes that the pair could continue with their relationship outside of the experiment, so when he heard Amy's thoughts on the matter, he seemed pretty taken aback.
It was a jaw-dropping moment for viewers at home, too, who were about as shocked as Luke appeared after the 'brutal' vows were delivered.
After the episode aired, Amy took to social media to issue a statement, explaining: "Some may call it savage, others may say it was justified.
"Just know that I will never apologise for my actions and I want you to know that what I did at final vows was for many reasons, things I had to deal with behind the scenes that you don’t know and probably never will."
A few hours later, Amy also revealed Luke's actual reaction to her outfit choice as well as her vows, assuring fans it was taken all in jest, adding: "Ps just to let you know Luke said 'well done' to me after my vows and proceeded to say 'I almost burst out laughing when you said deceased' as that was a personal joke between us to say when something was funny."
Following the hate Amy has been receiving online, Luke took to social media himself to urge followers to be mindful with their words.
"Please don't be nasty to Amy or other people. It doesn't do you, me or anyone any good," he wrote.
"I have received a lot of love. I appreciate it all. I will get back to everyone slowly but surely.
"Amy and I have shared this story together, and we will always be connected through this experience."
Married at First Sight UK airs every Monday to Thursday at 9.00pm on E4.
