MAFS UK fans beg Whitney to leave as she screams at 'fake' husband in 'toxic' row

Married At First Sight UK viewers were not impressed following heated scenes during Wednesday's episode, with them desperate for one contestant to leave the show.

Couple Duka and Whitney clashed after frosty scenes between them, as everything came to a head - but Whitney's reaction to her losing her wedding ring left her partner shocked.

They didn't have the smoothest of wedding days, and things were awkward from the off - sparking a big reaction with viewers.

Things didn't change on the honeymoon either, and after a series of awkward moments it all got very tense - with Whitney accusing her groom of being "fake" as she screamed at him in the latest episode.

One scene saw the pair go on a safari ride, where Duka told his new wife: "I wouldn't necessarily class myself as a colourful person," as Whitney replied sarcastically: "Really?"

"No I wouldn't," Duka said bluntly as Whitney commented: "Yeah you're a bit, you know, glitter and gold. You like to put on a show."

Duka responded by saying: "When someone says to me, 'you're colourful', you would assume that they're high maintenance or they're a bit too much."

Whitney then asked him: "Why are you getting all aggy about it?" to which he quickly replied: "I'm not."

Speaking away from Duka, Whitney told the camera: "I poke him and prod him with like our conversations because I'm trying to draw him out of himself so he can really show who he is.

"But the boy will not let that mask slip. He's determined to keep that facade."

Cutting back to them in the car again, Duka said: "It's like you expect me to be annoyed because you think colourful means one thing and I think it means another thing..."

"No I just think as soon as the cameras are on, you're another person," she snapped back as Duka asked: "Really? So how differently am I when the camera's not on?"

Whitney told him: "You act like as if you're Vicky Victim, and as if you're Perky Pete."

Speaking alone, Duka said: "Being told that I'm very different off camera versus on camera is very annoying because off camera, I'm the same person as I am on camera. We're supposed to be on honeymoon and it's almost ruining the experience."

Things reached "breaking point" later though when Whitney refused to get a replacement ring, after losing her wedding band on safari.

As Duka revealed he'd been holding a lot of things in, she continued to make jibes at him about not being genuine so he made it clear he would be himself going forward.

Things soon exploded though as Whitney screamed: "You are just talking s**t! Stop being fake, just be you."

Viewers watching the scenes unfold were horrified and begged Whitney to "leave the experiment", saying Duka could "do better".

Taking to Twitter, one wrote: "This Whitney is utterly vile, what a derogatory way to speak to anyone, I can feel rage watching it… get in the bin."

Another agreed: "Whitney needs to go… probably the most toxic person I’ve seen on married at first sight."

A third added: "Whitney needs to leave. She is rude," as a fourth said: "That Whitney is a horrible person, get rid of her."

This was backed by another tweet that read: "Can we kick Whitney off #MAFSUK poor Duka.. They got it soooo wrong with those two."

Meanwhile, show dating expert Paul Carrick Brunson has hinted the pair could turn things around in a tweet to a viewer.

As the viewer questioned why the show paired them up in the first place, he replied: "I completely understand your perspective, but I ask you to give them time. We have a long series ahead."

Married At First Sight UK airs weeknights at 9pm on E4.
