MARRIED At First Sight fans were stunned after Adrian Sanderson exploded at Matt Murray during a huge showdown.

The Manchester native, 37, was hailed "King Adrian" by many adoring fans on Twitter for his outburst – and putting relative newbie Matt in his place.

Usually mild-mannered businessman Adrian, who has fought hard to make his relationship with mental health worker Thomas Hartley, 31, succeed in the project, let loose in dramatic scenes aired on Tuesday.

The Married At First Sight bunch – who are on their final stages of the matchmaking experiment – headed on their last ever dinner party.

The events have never been drama-free and this was no exception, with Adrian becoming irked when Matt and new partner Whitney commented on their relationship.

The new duo – who ruffled feathers when they were allowed back in the experiment after cheating on their original partners – flagged the lack of intimacy between the duo.

Emotions were already running high between Adrian and Thomas.

Thomas called his spouse for a private chat in which he told him he did not think they should continue the experiment.

Thomas had been struggling with their lack of intimacy and had intended to quit last week – before he gave their marriage one last chance.

The conversation left Adrian in tears – but he was not willing to take any flack.

As they returned to the dinner table Adrian, dressed in a stylish baby blue bomber jacket, joined his spouse as they told their co-stars they would be leaving the experiment.

This promoted much signature scoffing and eye-rolling from Matt and Whitney.

Matt said: "Who the f**k do you think you are? You’re a f**king joke!" before Adrian left fans beaming with pride with his comeback.

He told the tattooed barber: "If there’s any person in this world who’s going to tell me I didn’t work my arse off at this marriage, it most certainly will not be someone who didn’t give his a day.

"My relationship has been on the table for everyone to see. If I was faking a relationship, it would have been a good one!"

This prompted Whitney to pipe up: "Who put 2p in his f**king box?!"

Adrian then turned his attention to her as he told her: "I have literally respected you so much throughout this all thing and you show me none… so actually, you're done!"

His spouse Thomas interjected: "I'm so done with this whole experiment!"

Adrian then leapt off his chair and shouted: "F**k off!” to Whitney, before leaving the table.

Fans were quick to take Adrian's side, with one taking to Twitter to remark: "Adrian is, without a doubt, the best person I’ve watched on TV a for a very long time. Absolutely L-O-V-E him #MAFSUK #MAFS."

A second put: "Matt looking genuinely smug at the idea of Adrian feeling threatened/intimidated by him for being a bigger lad shows what a vile piece of work he is, if he speaks like that to a man in a public setting, I dread to think what he’s like with a partner in private #mafsuk #mafs."

A third then gushed: "And we thought we’d only get one King this year. The UK loves you Adrian #MAFSUK #MAFS."

Another added: "Adrian speaking on behalf of the whole country. The fact Matt the lout and predator George think they are on the moral high ground is as laughable as the scribbles on Matts leg #mafs #mafsuk."

One then concluded: "King Adrian just popped off and it is the best TV moment of 2022.#MAFS #MAFSUK."

Meanwhile, during their emotional decision not to renew their vows, Thomas said: "Just because we love each other, it doesn’t mean we need to be together."
