Sacha Jones started off MAFS UK relatively drama free, with her marriage to Ross being really smitten and her coming across generally pretty calm and happy. As the pressures of the experiment have levelled up, she’s been in the midst of a lot of drama with other grooms as she stands up for what she deems right – namely with Alex, who has now left the show. But now Sacha is in more drama with MAFS UK groom Luke, and after a letter she wrote to him got called out by viewers she has responded to the criticism which saw her deemed as “vile”.
In an episode this week, the couples sat down and penned letters to another couple anonymously. Sacha and Ross wrote one to Amy and Luke – where they called out comments Luke specifically had made towards Lacey earlier in the MAFS UK episodes of the week.
This letter went down badly with some viewers, who felt that Sacha had been hypocritical for calling Luke out for getting involved in drama with other couples after she herself had had drama outside her own marriage. One viewer wrote: “Sacha saying Luke is too focused on what’s going on in other people’s relationships is the pot calling the kettle black because so has she.”
Another went on to say “Confused as to why Sacha suddenly hates Luke and saying he loves to be in the drama when he was good enough for her to hand pick out of the group at the spa so she could cry to me and hug him when her husband was just stood next to another girl in an innocent group photo”.
Never one to sit quietly and truly solidifying her place as the queen of calling out nonsense, Sacha responded on her Instagram story – saying “I love how everyone’s focusing in on like the negative. I know Luke’s a fan favourite so you people want to defend him and that’s fine, like it was an anonymous letter we was told to be honest and open.”
She continued to say: “That’s what’s a shame is people are focusing on that, more than the beauty of mine and Ross’s relationship. Everything that was said in that scene like, you can clearly tell there’s just so much love between us and we really do support each other. But people just want to discredit that and that’s a shame.”
Luke also spoke out against any pile ons to cast members, saying to his followers he wants to “keep our space positive, I appreciate your support towards me but let’s just not go down that same route that others choose to go. Let’s just stay positive and stay supportive and keep a good, friendly community on this space.”
I say it all the time, but the actual MAFS UK drama never happens in the episode – it’s always on social media after
