MAFS UK’s Steven Springett has hit out at the show after it was revealed he was using a dating app during his marriage to Nelly Patel.
In last night’s episode of Married At First Sight UK, Steve was exposed by Nelly’s friend Lucy for being on Hinge.
Now he’s taken to social media to have his say, insisting things between them were “done” by the time they got to the home stays part of the experiment.
He wrote: “Understand that my ‘home stay’ was very much ‘back to normal’.
“Back to normal life, back to working life, back to dad life, back to being ‘me’.
“A reminder that things you’re about to see are all for the ‘story’ and for the ‘audience’ at home to see how that story goes.”
Steve continued: “The last supper was a ‘do we have to’ moment when the book was very much closed after a certain swap.
“What I got up to at home was because things were done elsewhere.”
But he was clearly still unimpressed when his behaviour was exposed on the show, later taking to Instagram again to hit out at the show.
He wrote: “Not watching #MAFSUK tonight.
“I saw this episode on Thursday.
“So, there’ll be no posts about it after the show this evening. I’ve said my part pre show and I’ll leave it at that.”
During last night’s episode Steven flatly denied being on Hinge during his marriage to Nelly.
Her friend insisted that she knew it was true and took out her own phone and asked the pair if they would like to see.
Nelly stated: “I would love to see it.
Her friend then passed Nelly the phone – with Steven’s profile active on a dating app.
She added that Steven was on the dating app that day.
