Another commented: 'Please don't trivialise our identity. Makes me think one day, if I try reeeally hard, maybe I'll get a husband.'

Meanwhile, another enraged fan referenced the Nine show's decision to refer to Matthew as an 'ex-virgin' earlier in the episode. 

'Are they going to refer to her as 'ex-lesbian' now,' they ranted.

Earlier this month, viewers watched as Lauren and Matthew fell head over heels for each other after meeting for the first time at the altar.   

While other couples on the show struggled to hit it off, their romance continued to blossom after embarking on their honeymoon.

However, reports have suggested the golden couple have already broken-up.  

Channel Nine has apparently banned them from speaking to each other following an unspecified 'incident'.

On Monday, the claims surfaced on The Kyle and Jackie O Show, when producer Sonia Jahshan interrupted a discussion to reveal the pair were 'not allowed' to contact each other.

'Something weird is happening, we've been told that they are not allowed to talk to each other, Lauren and Matt. They used the word "banned",' Sonia explained on air.

Adding fuel to the fire, Lauren, 31 left the country to spend some time away in Europe without Matthew, two months after saying 'I do'.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Channel Nine for comment.

'She wants to meet up in the sauna!' Married at First Sight's Ines Basic (pictured) makes a move on Elizabeth Sobinoff's 'husband' Sam Ball by offering a steamy secret hook-up

Lauren's 'bombshell' wasn't the only dramatic moment from the explosive episode. 

Ines Basic 'cheated' on her 'husband' Bronson Norrish by sending a 'flirty' message to Sam Ball, asking him to meet her in the sauna. 

Ines began by testing the waters with a hello text, before quickly offering a secret hook up between them.  

Sam wasn't sure how to take the initial 'hello' message, which was accompanied by with a chicken and egg emoji, sent over Instagram. 

'Ines is more a girl I would go for in the real world. The temptation's there,' he admitted, staring at the message. 

Into it! 'Ines is more a girl I would go for in the real world. The temptation's there,' Sam admitted, staring at the message

He went on: 'I think Ines has definitely reached out 'cause we both said leave. So, she's probably just jumping on the opportunity to get to know me. I don't think Elizabeth's attracted to me.'

He agonised over replying, however gave into temptation.    

'She's actually quite close by. Wants to meet up in the sauna and [wrote], "Come over, bubba." I'm her bubba, apparently. 

Hey there! Ines began by testing the waters with a hello text, before quickly offering a secret hook up between them

 'So she wants me to obviously come over and... I don't know what to do about this situation. I don't know. She seems pretty keen, though,' he quipped. 

His TV wife Elizabeth Sobinoff arrived home before anything happened, and the pair embraced, making peace in their 'marriage' for now.    

However, a preview for an upcoming episode shows Sam and Ines spending time together, embracing in a doorway. 

 Wanted: Finding herself alone in the house, Ines found Sam on social media and began lusting after him

Earlier in the episode, despite going to couple's therapy with 'husband' Bronson, Ines admitted she was 'thinking about another husband'. 

'I'm definitely disappointed. I did come here to fall in love with someone, and I did make a commitment to Bronson. 

'But I have been thinking about another husband. Obviously, that's Sam. Like, he's hot. If Bronson can change his ways, I might stop thinking about someone else'. 

Happy days? 'I know Sam's unhappy, I'm unhappy,' Ines complained of her marriage

Finding herself alone in the house, Ines found Sam on social media and began lusting after him.  

'I know I said to John that I'm gonna take this opportunity and give Bronson a chance, but I'm still thinking about Sam, and I found him on social media. He is so hot! It's crazy! Like, he is stunning!' she said. 

After scrolling through pictures, she decided to send him a message. 

Oh dear! Bronson, while also moving into an apartment solo, said: 'At the moment I don't feel like I have a wife. Me and Ines is the most toxic relationship I have ever been in'

 'I feel like I was supposed to be matched with him. Like, I'm serious. Like, I think he would make me a lot more softer and just happier. 

'I know Sam's unhappy, I'm unhappy. So, I was like, you know, why not go for it? So, I sent him a message. So, hopefully he texts back, and, you know, we can get a bit flirty' she said with a cheeky grin. 

Earlier, the couples faced one of their greatest challenges as they moved in together in a shared apartment complex. 

Ouch: Bronson used a strong slur to describe his bride, and she says he 'humilated' her

Jules, 36, revealed she had not lived with anyone for ten years, but was really excited to set up home with her groom Cam. 

As they moved in together, Ning meanwhile worried that her partner, Mark, has commitment issues and fears she may end up being abandoned again. 

However, the couple have grown closer and Ning revealed she wished she could 'turn back the clock' and start over. 

Ines meanwhile revealed she was moving in on her own after she and partner Bronson clashed at the commitment ceremony. 

Bronson used a strong slur to describe his bride, and she says he 'humilated' her. 

As a result, the pair are spending time apart, and won't be moving in together for now. 

 Bronson, while also moving into an apartment solo, said:  'At the moment I don't feel like I have a wife. Me and Ines is the most toxic relationship I have ever been in'. 

He added that he was glad to be living alone as he feared 'waking up with a pillow on his face'. 

As he moved into the couple's apartment, Matt revealed that he was delighted to be living with a partner for the first time after losing his virginity on his honeymoon to 'wife' Lauren.  

 'This is complete uncharted territory for me. Living together is gonna be a total test. We've been in the honeymoon bubble,' he said. 

'And I feel like we're gonna probably see things about one another that we weren't expecting. I'm more scared about this than the wedding.'

Sam and Elizabeth began to bond in their new apartment despite the groom voting to leave the night before. 

 'She's showing me a side that is a bit more loving and caring, not just shouting at me or talking over me' he said. 

Ines and Bronson head to couple's therapy and try and work out the issues occurring between them. 

The Bosnian-born beauty told expert John Aiken that she has learned 'sorry is a word' and needs to apologise more, but refused to do so during the session. 

'I'm honestly not the type to say sorry unless I feel genuinely sorry. I'm not just going to say sorry just so we can, you know, get past it. It would be lying to Bronson' Ines said.

She went on to say she felt in no way responsible for what happened at the controversial commitment ceremony and insists, 'I don't regret anything'. 

'I'm honestly finding it really hard to empathise with this situation, because I feel a lot of it was Bronson's doing. He needs to be more responsible for his actions,' she said.

Things go very wrong for Cyrell and Nic after he refuses to hold her hand in public after dinner. 

The resulting argument became heated, and causes her to flee their apartment in the middle of the night.   

'He goes, "Well, why even bother waiting until the morning? Why don't you just f**k off now?" You think I'm gonna stay if my partner straight away is turning around and saying f**k off?' a furious Cyrell ranted when recounting the fight. 

Cyrell came back to the apartment several hours later, and Nic realised during the time apart that he realised he missed her. 

'Spending time apart makes you realise how you feel about someone. I don't wanna lose her, and I'm glad that she did come back' he said. 

The pair then revealed they had feelings for one another and had a cuddle to make up from their argument. 

Everything was going well for Jules and Cameron, who bonded over a cricket session. 

Cam was pleased that his new bride was willing to get involved in one of his greatest passions. 

Cyrell and Nic spend time bonding with a waxing session, with the buff bloke dropping his underwear to have his nether-regions waxed. 

Meanwhile, Elizabeth turns up to apologise to Ines, who is unimpressed, calling her a 'big noisy bird'. 

'I was an idiot, and, look, I'm all about female empowerment,' she said, trying to make peace between them, and offered Ines a block of chocolate.   

'I'm gonna eat this tonight in bed. I'll eat the chocolate and think of her husband' Ines quipped. 

Later, Ines makes her move on Sam with a saucy text message, and he appears conflicted but receptive.
