Married At First Sight viewers have been sent into a tailspin after spotting what appears to be a sex toy in the office of series expert John Aiken.
During Monday night’s episode, John, 54, called groom Eliot Donovan into his office for a discussion.
As Eliot chatted to John, what looked to be a pleasurable ‘love plug’ sex toy was seen perched on the shelf behind him.
MAFS fans were whipped into a frenzy over the shock discovery and took to social media to share their thoughts.
‘I just spat my tea out!’ one shocked viewer wrote.
‘Is it a left over from last season’s intimacy week?’ a second person asked.
However, another fan suggested there was a non-racy explanation as to what it was: ‘It’s one of those upside down cones that are for book ends.’
Elsewhere in the episode, John had some harsh words for the runaway groom.
The relationship expert confronted Eliot Donovan after he ditched wife Lauren Hall, 37, declaring her too old for him, and fled.
‘I was expecting to meet a cute, librarian-type girl that was younger than me,’ Eliot said.
‘And I ended up with what felt like a Kardashian sister. When we were talking about exercise, she had trouble running from one side of the tennis court to the other’.
Eliot again mentioned his strict age requirement, saying, ‘I want someone under 30!’
Giving the demanding groom some home truths, John did not hold back.
‘Let’s be honest: You’re here on this show because you’re 35 and single and you’ve been going out with young women and it hasn’t worked,’ he said.
Eliot looked taken aback but did not appear to heed the advice, instead continuing to rattle off complaints.
The business owner had blindsided his bride when he sensationally quit the show after throwing a tantrum and saying he wanted to be paired with a woman ‘under 30’.
Fans of the series praised Lauren on Instagram for keeping ‘calm’ as her groom stormed off set during their K’Gari Island honeymoon in Queensland.
Eliot broke his silence about his shock exit from the show, revealing to Daily Mail Australia the real reason he chose to walk away from his TV marriage.
He explained his departure wasn’t due to any major fallout or lack of physical attraction, but rather because he didn’t see a long-term future with Lauren.
‘I didn’t find love. I was there to find love, and I didn’t see a future with Lauren,’ he admitted.
‘Of all the reasons to leave, I think that’s a fair one. It wasn’t because of anything physically wrong with her or anything.’
Eliot went on to say he was open to receiving the experts’ advice in some areas of his love life, there were some things he just wasn’t willing to compromise on.
Sources close to production claimed Lauren was committed to making the relationship work, but Eliot struggled to connect on a deeper level and felt it was unfair to continue the experiment when his heart wasn’t in it.
As previously reported by Daily Mail Australia, Eliot is set to make a sensational comeback on the show as an intruder.
