Married at First Sight fans pleaded with Polly to "take the hint" after she and husband Adam had another row about their relationship.

The pair were matched up on the E4 show but their marriage has been an uphill struggle, with Adam making it clear from the moment they met at the altar that the "attraction" was missing and that Polly wasn't like the "unreal" brunettes he usually dates. The newlyweds stuck it out and worked on their connection, and made it to the final dates segment on the instalment on Wednesday, 6 November.

But things went wrong when Polly started quizzing Adam about how he felt about her. He repeatedly told her he wasn't the type to keep dishing out the compliments and reassurance, moaning that he was "bored" of the row and complaining: "The old Polly is slowly creeping back."

In the episode, the pair went for an off-road drive before having a picnic, where they gave each other romantic gifts and discussed their time in the social experiment. It got off to a strong start when Adam presented Polly with a thoughtful memory box full of mementoes of their time together.

But things took a turn when she returned to old ground, quizzing Adam about how he never complimented her or discussed his feelings for her.

"You are not very romantic, you don't tell me I'm beautiful, and you don't talk to me about how you feel about me," Polly told Adam, who looked unimpressed.

"But I am s*** at compliments, I always have been, I probably always will be," he replied. "I have been telling you since day one, that's not me," he said.

Polly also asked Adam how he felt about her now, compared to how he felt about her on their wedding day. He didn't come up with a response, muttering "Um..." before falling silent, which left his wife apparently fuming. "You're not giving me what I want," she said.

Speaking to camera, Polly stormed: "If you liked someone it would be so natural but for him it isn't." Adam then said in a separate interview that it was time for him to think about where he and Polly went next in their relationship.

Many fans of the reality show are convinced the pair are not compatible and said it was time for Polly to forget Adam and move on with her life. As the programme aired, several people posted messages on social media urging her to leave.

One posted on X: “Polly. Just a small tip. HE DOESN'T BLOODY LIKE YOU, LOVE! GIVE UP!”

“Polly PLEASE do not force a man to compliment you - if he doesn’t want to and it’s something you feel that you need, LEAVE,” said someone else.

Another remarked: “Oh here we go again Polly get the memo, he just ain’t that into you.”

Somebody else wrote: “Polly, what satisfaction will you get from Adam lying just to tell you stuff you wanna hear? If it's not happening, TAKE THE HINT. How long have we been banging the same drum now? Weeks & weeks & weeks.”

“’If you liked someone, it should be natural, but for him it isn’t’ - yep, Polly, he’s been telling you this every single day - for 6 weeks,” another viewer commented.

"It's obvious Adam doesn't fancy Polly! Why can't she see it?" Asked one viewer.

Another said: "All now nearing the end of the series Adam can’t tell Polly she’s beautiful? The second hand embarrassment is radiating out of the television."

"Not really a fan of Polly BUT she really needs to leave Adam, he has never really been into this process (or her) sadly," posted someone else.

Married At First Sight airs on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings at 9pm on Channel 4.
