Married At First Sight 'to be rocked by huge affair as wife runs off with another husband'

Married at First Sight UK is now well underway and audiences have shared in the highs and lows of the couples as they, yes, got married at first sight.

While some matches were clearly a lot better than others, so far, the couples are all sticking with the experiment – even the ones who appear to dislike their chosen spouses.

But an insider has now revealed that the show will quickly be shocked by a major scandal, breaking apart two couples, when one of the wives runs off with someone else's husband.

The source told The Sun: "One of the wives decides to run off with another husband, and it will cause absolute chaos when the truth comes out.

"It's going to be a massive talking point, both on the show, and also amongst viewers," they continued, "It will blow the experiment wide open and be hugely dramatic. Fans won't see it coming."

The affair is said to be so explosive that it's set to make the drama with Megan and Bob last year look as boring as daytime shopping television.

"The fireworks after this affair will make the drama of last year look like an episode of Antiques Roadshow," the source asserted.

"It's up there with all the twists and turns fans love from the Aussie version of the show."

This is not the first time that this year's season has seen drama from infidelity, and April and George have already come to blows over her actions on their honeymoon.

He explained: "I woke up this morning numb and cold.

"Yesterday we ended up having a lovely evening. Then I went away for a short while, I came back and realised there had been an incident. I don't know if I feel comfortable doing this.

"It was heartbreaking and a massive kick in the teeth. She's been intimate with somebody else. I've been cheated on. F**k, sorry..."

It later emerged that the Miss Great Britain 2020 had kissed another woman in a hot tub, something she didn't think would bother her new husband.

The incident took place after April admitted to George, a father of four, that she was finding the experiment intense and said she needed space.

She said that the kiss took place during a game of truth or dare, and emphasised that it didn't mean anything.

The couple went on to seemingly patch things up.

Married at First Sight UK airs Monday to Thursday on E4.
