MAFS UK viewers have slammed an 'uncomfortable' scene that aired in tonight's episode as the couples moved in to the real-life homes of their partners.

Dubbed home stays week, the brides and grooms had the opportunity to get a glimpse of how their spouses really lived outside of the experiment.

In scenes that aired tonight (October 31), groom Nathan was shown moving into his bride Lacey's home, which was also occupied by her sister Paige and mum Maxine. However, his experience got off to a tense start as Maxine brought up a clash they had earlier in the series, where Nathan's joke that her food looked like the "bottom bin".

Later on, Nathan and Lacey had a rude awakening as Maxine walked into his bedroom unannounced before jumping on the bed with the couple. Sister Paige and their dog also joined in, while Nathan looked on bewildered.

But it was while Nathan was tasked with doing DIY at the family home that viewers expressed their distaste over one particular scene. While he painted over some scuffs on the wall, Lacey's mum was seen touching the groom, tickling him and rubbing his shoulders, as well as offering him compliments while he tried to work.

"Mum, stop flirting with my man," Lacey could be heard shouting from another room, before her mother was seen telling cameras how "extremely lucky" her daughter was. "If she don't want him, I'll have him," she added.

"I feel like I shouldn’t be watching this," one viewer said, while another fan of the show added: "This mother in law is a bit full on…making me cringe."

"Could [you] imagine if it was a dad all over one of the brides like Lacey's mum was over Nathan?" questioned another. A fourth viewer said: "The lack of boundaries in Lacey’s household is act [sic] insane."

"What have I just watched at Lacey’s house?" asked another viewer. "That was INCREDIBLY uncomfortable with Lacey’s mum," said a fan.

MAFS UK continues on Monday night at 9pm on E4
