E4 Married At First Sight UK star Duka reacts to fans pleading with him and Chanita to get together and reveals he's no longer single

Married at First Sight UK star Duka Cavolli has addressed fan calls for him to date co-star Chanita Stephenson after both of their marriages broke down on the E4 reality show. Fans of the E4 matchmaking show were shocked as they tuned in to watch Monday night's reunion dinner party after the couples had made their final vows.

There were gasps as Chanita walked into the dinner party without her husband Jordan Emmett-Connelly after they had made it to the end of the process. It was a shock to viewers watching at home and to the relationship experts after they had been dubbed the 'golden couple' of this series.

But the surprise soon switched to amusement as Duka, who had been married to Whitney Hughes in the social experiment before she dumped him for Gemma Rose's husband Matt Murray, sat beside Chanita and offered some bolstering words to his newly-single friend. Jordan was then seen planting himself between the pair and turned to chat to his ex.

@PriPetty tweeted: "Duka and Chanita though. I can see it." @amira_amodu messaged: "Duka and chanita look good together." And @Claire_Coe66 said: "Ok hear me out.. Chanita and Duka... yes!!!!"

@emtaywrites wrote: "Jordan planting himself between Chanita and Duka? No thank you. You didn’t want the girl. Let her move on." But Duka later shut down fan pleas on his Instagram story and revealed that he's no longer single.

He wrote with a string of laughing emojis: "Also you guys need to stop it!!!!! @jordanemmettconnelly @chanita_x Are both good friends! I'm a taken man and it's not any of the cast members."

Duka left the process early when Whitney chose to pursue a relationship with Matt. Remaining together throughout the experiment, Chanita and Jordan were fan favourites and appeared to be the strongest pair.

However it was revealed they had chosen to go their separate ways. In emotional scenes Chanita broke down in tears at the dinner table as the show's honesty box was brought out to pose pressing questions.
