MAFS UK fans "gutted" as star skips final reunion ceremony

Married At First Sight UK viewers were left disappointed on Thursday (Nov 16) night as the season finale was missing a fan favourite groom.

The last episode of the series saw the cast reunite with the experts one final time as they looked back on their journey in the experiment and assessed what they’d learnt from their relationships.

However, fans were quick to spot that Laura was left alone during her chat with the experts as her former partner Arthur was nowhere to be seen.

While Arthur wasn’t successful in finding love in the experiment, it seems he did find a fanbase in the MAFS viewers as many were "gutted" to miss out on his entertaining personality and funny one-liners in the finale.

Flocking to X (formerly known as Twitter), fans were quick to share their thoughts on the absence of "King Arthur".

"I’m gutted Arthur isn’t there. He’s a scream! #MAFSUK," one fan wrote, with another adding: "Ahhh man!! Arthur not being there. We’re being robbed!!"

"Oh no Arthur? Gutted tbh #MAFSUK," a third fan commented.

"I love Arthur! It would have been nice to see him at the final reunion, but I guess he’s checked out & moved on," another MAFS viewer wote. "I just hope he finds someone who loves him for him, as he’s adorable."

"Honestly, I miss Arthur," a fifth fan remarked. "He would’ve given us a couple of gems tonight."

The Polish-born tennis coach was partnered up with finance manager Laura in the experiment, but unfortunately their romance wasn’t meant to be as they parted ways in the final vows ceremony.

While Arthur was willing to pursue their relationship on the outside world, his bride decided to hand back her wedding ring and end their marriage for good.

"I have to be honest and say I’ve been troubled by a nagging doubt," Laura explained. "I feel that I’ve carried this relationship forward by myself and worried that I’ve lost myself in the process."

After suffering the shock heartbreak, Arthur confessed he felt like "crap" but respected Laura's decision.

However, at least Arthur went out in style as viewers were loving his unusual fashion choice at the dramatic reunion dinner party.

While the rest of the MAFS cast donned formal attire for the occasion, Arthur decided to turn up in a black vest and blue jeans.

"THE BIG REUNION so the vest had to come out," Arthur wrote on Instagram, poking fun at his comically casual look.
