Married at First Sight star Matt Murray has been at the centre of the drama after ditching his wife Gemma Rose for new love Whitney Hughes. Matt, a latecomer to the E4 social experiment show after being matched with Gemma, fell for Whitney who was already paired-up with Duka Cavolli.
The show sees experts Paul C Brunson, Mel Schilling and Charlene Douglas scientifically match couples who marry on their first meeting as they walk down the aisle. This series was thrown into chaos when Matt and Whitney found they had eyes for each other despite getting married to other people.
Sparks initially flew between Matt and Gemma but the pair didn't see eye to eye beyond their wedding day. Meanwhile Whitney had shared her wish to leave the experiment after weeks of unsuccessfully trying to bond with her husband.

Then, during a tense mini break for the couples, Matt and Whitney shared a heart-to-heart with Whitney picking up on a "cute" vibe between them. As suspicions spread through the group, the truth was exposed at an explosive dinner party.
Gemma was devastated and hit back at Matt, claiming he "never tried" with their marriage and a huge showdown led to Matt storming off. Whitney and Matt then met alone on a bridge and shared a passionate kiss, which resulted in them spending the night together.
The pair were allowed to stay on in the process, which ruffled feathers in the group. They looked smitten as they re-joined the others at their first dinner party as a couple, and Matt looked unrecognisable as a throwback snap of himself before the muscles and tattoos was unearthed.
Fans have been commenting on pictures shared by the barber side-by-side on his Instagram. The first was a old snap before he became a regular at the gym as a calisthenics athlete, strength training which uses the person's own body weight.
In the old picture he sported a side-parting hairstyle with no visible tattoos. He also had a lip piercing and an earring. He captioned the post with an inspirational message to his followers and said: “The years pass, regardless of action or inaction. DO something. Or don't... I can't tell you what to do."
He added: "I can tell you that you'll be happier if you do! Do the f****** work on yourself first before you do the work for other people.” harracksinghmarisa told him: "What an incredible transformation." edwardian_edit said: "Wow! What an inspiration!" And bowesjulie wrote: "Definitely suit the newer look,than the older one Matt."
Matt has also been sharing with fans how he creates his trademark line patterned hairstyle. The secret behind his look is a wide-toothed comb and pomade. He wrote: "Comb all your hair to one side - pull the comb back to front, in one clean smooth motion."
loochee123 applauded: "The nation's question has been answered." nikki_v_l said:"Love this! Wondered how you got your hair looking that good." And kerryb691 commented: "Tbh I thought it was tiny dreadlocks."
