‘Can we clearly ban the MAFSAU experts from today, they clearly know sweet FA,’ one wrote.
Another added: ‘I’m a fan, but the lack of successful couples this season might be because the experts actually didn’t offer any expert advice. To me they just wanted to know if they were intimate’.
While another commented that he had little faith the judges could successfully match him next year.

Since leaving the show, Tash has repeatably called for more diversity to be included within the ‘expert’ panel.
Taking to Instagram last month, Tash insisted that lesbian couples on the show would have more chance of success if they were matched by ‘queer’ experts.
‘Don’t you think lesbians or queer people should have matched the lesbian couple?’ she said while doing a Q&A with fans.
‘I just feel like lesbians would have done a better job matching the lesbians and then both of us would have been happier…’ she added.
