MAFS UK star’s ‘pointless’ ring gesture is slammed by viewers after he reveals a last second detail.
Married At First Sight’s latest reunion episode treated fans to plenty of drama, awkward moments and tears.
Those braving the country retreat included Adam Nightingale, Amy Kenyon, Ella Morgan, Erica Roberts, Kieran Chapman and Kristina Goodsell.
Amongst them were Shona Manderson and Matt Pilmoor who have been going strong for over a year since their series of the E4 show.
Shona, 31, left the show because of her unhealthy relationship with Brad Skelly – whose behaviour was deemed controlling and manipulative by charity Women’s Aid.
But she found love afterwards with another star on the show – window cleaner Matt, 29 – who originally ‘married’ Adrienne Naylor.
In tonight’s reunion, Shona revealed the secret to her happy relationship with Matt was that the couple have never raised their voice at each other.
Later, at the end of the show, Shona took a question from the show’s box of tricks and asked Matt: “What do you love most about me?”
Matt replied: “Actually, I’ve prepared something.”
“Shona, one year and four months ago, we met.
“In fact where we met, is where we are sitting right now.
“You came at the most unexpected point in my life.
“You have been the most incredible gorgeous girl by my side, every step of the way.
“You have helped me through the hardest time of my life.”
As Matt got emotional, Shona leaned on him and gave him a hug as some of the other stars supported him with words of encouragement to carry on.
He continued: “With your special way to listen and speak and give advice.
“I can’t thank you enough. Shona, I want to show you how committed I am with this ring.”
Kristina’s mouth dropped open and there were cries of ‘Oh My God’ around the table as everyone got excited for what appeared to be a marriage proposal.
Matt added: “And to promise you the most amazing future.
“We never had a wedding during the experiment.
“So please take this as a vow that one day in the near future, you will be my wife and the most gorgeous mother of my children.
“You genuinely are my world and I cannot wait for our next chapter.”
Shona leaned in and the couple kissed while the table cheered and applauded the pair.
Matt then opened the ring box and said: “It’s a promise ring.”
Shona looked overjoyed as she showed off her new sparkling diamond ring.
Later she said: “I just feel like I am on cloud 9, I feel like I am floating.”
Fans however weren’t as thrilled and quickly voiced their thoughts on social media.
“F**g promise ring what are they 12” declared one fan.
“Ah so that’s why they’re there! A f****g promise ring… are these people 15?!” stated another.
A third said: ” A f****g “promise ring”?? Grow up you f****g Neanderthal.
“A promise ring is just a way to get your girlfriend to stop asking when you’re going to propose, without having to actually propose.”
“All that for a promise ring” added another.
Taking to Instagram after the reunion show had aired, Shona told fans: ” I said yes!! I’m semi engaged to @mattpilmoor 
hehe love my promise ring such a cute way to end our journey on MAFS.
“Matty’s speech was sooo cute & emotional but obviously you couldn’t see it all so I’ve left it here for you guys. Never stop believing in love. Love you all xxxx”
MAFS The Reunions is available to stream on Channel 4.
THE creator of Call the Midwife has suggested the show could soon take a break after 13 years on our TV screens.
It remains the BBC’s most watched drama so talk of any end to the medical show is sure to send shockwaves through the industry.
But, talking to the Radio Times, creator Heidi Thomas also hinted that any resting of the show might lead to some form of spin off.
She said: “Those of us who are most invested with the show, cast and producers alike, who have been there since the beginning, it is our lives.
“I don’t believe Call the Midwife will ever end. But I do think we might take a break at some point.”
She continued: “I’m not in a position to talk about things really.
“There is a sort of a rolling, ongoing conversation that we always have at this point every year, which is: is there an end point?
“What are we working towards?
“Increasingly, we do see opportunities to expand our storytelling world.
“So if we do take a break, it will be with a view to looking at other aspects of Call the Midwife.”
Asked if that might mean there was some kind of spin-off series from the show she simply replied: “Watch this space.”
Meanwhile cast member Megan Cusack also confirmed that she was leaving the programme, in a move that will shock devotees of Call the Midwife.
The actress, who plays Nancy Corrigan on the Sunday night drama, said: “Sometimes, you’ve got to step out of your comfort zone to grow.
“I’ve learnt so much, but I’m at the start of my career and I need to take a leap of faith.
“It’s bittersweet, really.
“I’ve made lifelong friendships there and I get to take those with me.”

EMMERDALE looks set to introduce a brand new character that could be about to spell a whole lot of trouble for Moira and the Dingle clan.
The ITV soap opera has cast a hunky new star to shake up the Dales with his outlandish antics and inherent charm.
Actor Shebz Miah will be playing the show’s brand new bad boy Kammy.
Kammy will make his debut screen appearance next month and will certainly make his presence known when he steals a quad bike from Moira’s farm.
With the bike missing, all fingers point toward Ross Barton but little do the residents know, there is a new bad boy stirring up trouble.
Kammy will soon find himself coming face-to-face with Sarah Sugden, played by Katie Hill, and it is clear there is a spark brewing between the pair.
As Kammy and Sarah grow closer, it becomes apparent that under his influence, she is ready to adopt the wild child Dingle lifestyle she has always longed for.
Kammy will introduce an element of danger, romance, excitement and above all else, his inherent charm, to both Sarah and the wider Dales.
Speaking of signing up for the show, actor Shebz revealed: “I’m absolutely thrilled to be joining the cast of Emmerdale.
“Everyone has been so welcoming and I already feel like a part of the family.
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better job – the character is such an exciting one to play and Kammy will definitely ruffle a few feathers, but he does have the gift of the gab so although he causes a lot of mischief, I think it will be hard not to like him!”
Sarah Sugden star Katie added: “I can’t wait for the audience to meet Kammy – he’s a really fun character and a great addition to the village.
“We might even see him and Sarah get up to a bit of mischief together… It has been great having Shebz join the cast and he’s been brilliant to work with!”
Emmerdale’s Executive Producer Laura Shaw went on to say: “We are delighted to be welcoming Shebz to Emmerdale as cheeky charmer Kammy.
“Charismatic, with a very playful spirit, but ultimately kind at heart, Yorkshire lad Kammy promises to bring both excitement and danger to the village.”
SOAP viewers are frequently left heartbroken after watching some of their favourite characters bite the dust.
Here is a list of the most devastating deaths that have taken place in soapland over the years.
