MAFS UK viewers desperate to see next episode after hearing snippet of Caspar's shocking comment to in-laws

Ever since Married At First Sight UK kicked off last month, groom Caspar Todd has consistently found himself in hot water with fans over a series of comments he's made about his wife's appearance.

And following a teaser for tonight's drama-fuelled episode, fans are predicting a fiery showdown between him and wife Emma Barnes following a remark he can be seen making about 'curvy women'.

The Channel 4 duo's romance suffered a rocky start, with Caspar claiming he didn't find Emma physically attractive when she asked him on their wedding day.

And days later, he reiterated his sentiment during their honeymoon.

"So, you didn't fancy me and you don't fancy me - right?" Emma asked him at the time, to which Caspar savagely replied: "Not currently, no, let's be honest."

Seething by this point, Emma went on to hit out: "If you didn't think I was sexy in my f*****g wedding dress and my gorgeous bikini today, I don't know what hope there is."

Since then, viewers have been praying that the couple's attraction could grow with time.

And while it initially appeared as though this may be the case - with the couple seemingly becoming more and more loved up by the day - a preview of tonight's episode (8 October) sees Caspar making a remark about his wife's physique during a conversation with her family.

In the clip, he could be seen telling them over dinner: "I've never fancied curvy women."

While Emma's best friend hangs her head and responds, 'No, no, no, no...', his bride then hits out: "That's poor delivery! You can't say that."

The BFFL then tells him straight, 'That's not a nice thing to say,' before another gal pal tells Emma: "Right now, I don't think he's the man for you."

Naturally, Caspar's comment has divided the opinions of viewers, with many slamming him for his views.

"Caspar is so immature, its unreal, who says that infront of there in-laws, 'i dont like curvy women', f*****g hell, where did they get men like caspar from, its just common sense you just cant say that infront of an inlaw,what is he thinking?" one hot-headed viewer penned on X.

Another hit out: "'I’ve never fancied curvy women' what an absolute t**t!"

Several viewers, however, appear to have jumped to his defence, believing there's nothing wrong with expressing preferences when it comes to physicality.

"Why do they find someone saying they don't fancy a curvy woman as insensitive? Most people have physical preferences, don't they?" one asked.

Another wrote: "FFS!!! Why should Casper feel bad about not fancying her?He doesn't fancy her cuz she's a 'curvy woman' even tho he's on the chubby side doesn't mean he should b attracted to fat women!!"

One thing is for sure - viewers cannot wait for tonight's episode...
