MAFS UK viewers divided over Luke’s ‘class’ comment about salsa photo as furious Lacey hits back
Married At First Sight UK viewers have been left seriously divided over Luke’s 'class' comment about Lacey's controversial salsa photo.
Now, last night's episode of the drama-filled Channel 4 show proved to be pretty intense after Amy opened up to her hubby, Luke, about something that had been 'playing on her mind' to the experts and the rest of the contestants.
She explained that Luke had an issue with Lacey, who is with Nathan, dancing with Adam - who's married to Polly.
Take a look at the exchange below:

"You said to me, 'if that was you on that photo, we'd have to have serious conversations'," Amy told the experts.
Luke then explained what he specifically meant by the photo, saying: "So I received a photo of Lacey and Adam doing a salsa dance together, and I messaged Amy straight away, and I said, 'I'm really proud that that wasn't you like and this is why you always act with class and integrity'."
Lacey then interjected: "What, was I not acting with class? How's me dancing... we've [her and Nathan] got trust?"
After some back and forth, Luke tried to reassure Lacey: "That's not what I said. You're putting words in my mouth. You're saying that, I'm just trying to get a point because that's the message I sent."
Lacy then warned: "Well, use your words wisely."
MAFS UK fans have since rushed to social media to share their thoughts on the ordeal, with many agreeing with Luke's sentiments.
One Instagram user penned: "Ngl straddling another husband isn’t the classiest thing you can do."
"I love Lacey. But let's face it, it wasn't classy," a second piped up.
A third quipped: "Lacey thinks that she was dancing with class is the most hilarious thing of the show tonight. The level of delusion is high in this one."
And another echoed: "Luke is an old school and an old soul. He didn’t find it classy that’s all he was saying that’s his boundary and that’s ok. Lacey chose to take offence he wasn’t offensive. I like Luke."
Others, however, couldn't have disagreed with Luke more with one fan writing: "Everyone has different things that they find acceptable, it’s about knowing your partner and what the boundaries are.
"He worded it offensively towards Lacey I suppose, but some couples wouldn’t mind certain acts, whereas others would mind."
A second pointed out: "It’s OK for Luke to dance but not women. Double standards - disappointed that the experts don’t call it out, even with two women on the board."
"She can do what she wants she was only having fun," exclaimed a third, while a final Instagram user added: "I'm really shocked at the women on here slagging Lacey?
"It was a dance class and she was dancing. If you trust your partner it shouldn't be a problem."
