After news broke last week that Luke Worley had been removed from Married At First Sight UK due to a 'physical fight' with co-star Jordan Gayle, viewers have been patiently waiting for the shock scenes to air.

With tensions rising between the two over the last few weeks, mainly thanks to Luke disagreeing with the way Jordan has an opinion on other people's relationships, things reached boiling point on Monday (30th October) night's episode, in scenes which left viewers 'embarrassed'.

Viewers witnessed Luke bang on Jordan and wife Erica's door, before he pushed Jordan, leading to the pair to be involved in a pushing match, leading them to be separated by production and their wives Jay and Erica.

Although Luke later revealed he'd take full responsibility for his actions and apologised, expert Paul C Brunson confirmed Luke would have to leave the show as he instigated the physical altercation, meaning Jay would also have to leave.

Despite viewers not condoning Luke's behaviour, many believed it was unfair that Jordan and his wife Erica were allowed to stay.

One wrote: 'I don’t support violence but the couple who cause the trouble should be asked to leave also'.

Another added: 'Erica and Jordan should have gone. If there is any drama, you can be sure they've started it'.

A third then wrote: 'Erica and Jordan should of gone give Erica an Oscar for her performance🥱', with a fourth writing: 'I'm all for not allowing violence but what Jordan and Erica are doing is mentally abusing cast members and that is worse 👌🏽'. (sic)

Another commented: 'Erica and Jordan aren’t the victims here, they play a part and sh-- stir'. (sic)

Despite Luke and Jay being forced to leave the experiment, it seems the drama between Luke and Jordan isn't over.

As well as the pair constantly slamming each other on social media over the last few weeks, mainly with parody videos insulting each other, Luke posted the words: 'Someone give them an Oscar' to his Instagram Story following Monday night's scenes.

Clearly not happy with the insult, Jordan re-shared the post, writing: 'Says Mr remorseful who said he was in the wrong. Yet all he's done since is brag about it'. (sic)

Although the cast aren't allowed to reveal if they are still together until scenes have aired, Luke and Jay have dropped a huge hint they stayed together after the experiment.

Following last night's show, Luke took to Instagram to write: 'What an experience! We may be leaving on controversial circumstances but we leave as a team!

'I couldn’t have wished to do this journey with anyone else, even if you never did tell me off @jay_howard 😉

'@jay_howard I just want to say how proud I am of you, as I have seen you grow from strength to strength. Your confidence is amazing and you now believe in yourself, which makes my heart burst. When you walk into a room it lights up and it always will ❤️

'Now let’s go rob that bank together and get away with it 🤦🏻‍♂️😂🏦'. (sic)

Jay was quick to comment on the post, adding: 'I couldn’t have done this with anyone else @lukeworley1 ❤️'. (sic)
