Married at First Sight UK descended into drama during the episode that aired on Wednesday, August 31. The first honeymoon of the series saw newlyweds rocked by cheating claims.
George Roberts and April Banbury were one of two couples to tie the knot in Tuesday's episode, alongside Thomas Hartley and Adrian Anderson. But while they appeared to have chemistry during the nuptials, things quickly changed once they had jetted off.
Groom George found out new wife April had been "intimate" with someone else after the pair decided to give each other "space", which she laughed off as "a dare." The fallout was teased at the end of Tuesday's episode when George told cameras: "I've been cheated on. F**k."

On Wednesday's episode viewers got the lowdown, with George telling cameras: "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..."
George then began crying and walked away, unable to continue on camera, reports The Mirror. As April went to see him, she brought him a bottle of drink as a peace offering before asking why he stormed off.
April then claimed it was a game of "dares" and she kissed a girl in a hot tub as part of a dare, with her seeming baffled as to why he was so upset. She told him: "We were all mucking around, playing dares and stuff, having a laugh."
This led to George asking if she had kissed more than one person, to which she replied: "No of course not, I'm really sorry if it has upset you but I didn't even think anything of it. It really was nothing, it wasn't."
Viewers were stunned by the moment just days into the show, and the pair's marriage, after they seemed to get on well during their ceremony.
Many fans were divided over who was in the wrong, with one writing: "Goodness me, April kissed someone else on her HONEYMOON, she doesn't think it's a big deal and George is the one who apologies??"
Others backed April though, with one writing: "Sooooo April kissed another girl for a dare???? Was that all???" For more showbiz and television stories, get our newsletter here.
