Married At First Sight Australia fans were disappointed to tune into E4 to watch the show on October 4, 2021 when they found that they showed series eight instead of seven.
The latest series of the programme that was aired in the UK was season six which featured Cam and Jules and Bronson and Ines.
However, E4 decided to skip showing UK viewers series seven and go straight to series eight.
They have told The Sun they took the decision so that they can give fans the most up-to-date series of the show - as it only aired in 2021 in Australia.
In a statement they said: "Married at First Sight Australia is a hugely popular series on E4 and fans will get to see the latest series’ sooner after their Australian premiere, as we catch up with the Australian broadcast schedule with series eights, followed by series nine next year."
Series eight of the programme was filmed during the coronavirus pandemic in Australia and aired in the country last year.
There were strict rules quarantine rules in place across Australia at the time of production, meaning some of the couples could not have their closest family and friends at their nuptials.
Couple Beth Moore and Russell Duance weren’t even allowed to have a best man and bridesmaids at the wedding.
The series is bound to keep fans entertained as clips of the show teased it as being the most explosive season yet.
Fans took to Twitter to express their disappointment at the lack of series seven.
One fan tweeted: "Have we gone straight from series 6 to 8? What happened to series 7? #MAFSAustralia."
Another said: "Erm @E4Tweets what’s happened to series7 of #MAFSAustralia."
A third person questioned Channel 4 for the reason behind the lack of playing the show in the UK.
Some fans were sad to not be able to see series 6 star Elizabeth Stobinoff make a comeback for series seven where she found a long term boyfriend who have since split up.
One fan said: "Can you tell us why you've skipped series 7, with Lizzie's return, and are showing series 8 instead please? Thank you. #MAFSAustralia #MarriedAtFirstSight."
