Married At First Sight viewers have been left furious after the show teased the return of JJ Slater, 30, and 29-year-old Ella Morgan.

Fans of the series witnessed JJ's marriage to Bianca Petronzi, 29, crumble after his affair with Ella was revealed. Nathanial Valentino, 36, who was married to Ella, also chose to exit the process after their betrayal was uncovered.

JJ and Ella were then told by experts Paul Carrick Brunson, Charlene Douglas and Mel Schilling that if they wanted to continue their relationship, they should do it outwith the process.

However a preview for tonight's episode has hinted that both Ella and JJ will be coming back to MAFS as a brand new couple.

Viewers were quick to air their thoughts on this dramatic twist, taking to X, formally known as Twitter, to discuss the pair's comeback.

One user said: "Well it looks like Ella and JJ are coming back as a couple. Totally disrespectful #MAFSUK #marriedatfirstsight"

Another added: "If Ella and JJ come back then this show is actually a farce #MAFS."

A third commented: "Tomorrows ‘surprise’ on MAFS better not be Ella and JJ, like who actually cares about them as a couple."

During the Live, the groom was asked whether he and Ella were still in a relationship. The 30-year-old responded to the questions, saying: "I can't answer if I'm with Ella or not."
