Married at First Sight UK's Thomas Hartley has issued an apology to co-star Sophie Brown and revealed he's had death threats following Wednesday night's explosives episode.

The mental health care assistant let rip at Sophie after she questioned his relationship with Adrian Sanderson and branded Whitney Hughes a 'liar and an adulterer' before storming off in dramatic scenes.

But following the angry backlash he received for his behaviour on the E4 programme, Thomas shared an emotional video in which he explained his actions, revealing that he 'really had enough' at the time of filming.

The scenes during a girls' night out saw Thomas explode at Sophie after she suggested he and Adrian had more of a friendship, as he seethed at her: 'you wouldn’t know that because you’ve only been here two weeks... don't make me come for you'. 

He then turned his attentions on the rest of the girls, ranting: 'I don’t care about 90% of the people here. I only care about Chanita and Jen and you [Kasia]. I don’t give a f**k about yous. Yous mean nothing to me.’

Lashing out at Whitney Hughes amid her new relationship with Matt, he then said: 'I don’t care what you say to me. You’re a liar and an adulterer.

'You’re a basic b***h and that’s all you’ll ever be!' before going on to storm off. 

Sharing a video to social media after the shocking scenes aired, Thomas explained: 'By the time we sat down to film that. I'd already left three times. I'd left three times, I didn't want to be there.

'I wanted to go home. I'd just got back from home stays, it's personal stuff going on which they all knew, as I've said before and I did not want to talk to those people.'

Referring to his explosion at Sophie, he said: 'I own the Sophie thing, it was just heightened too far, I've apologised and we're in a good place now. The other two [Whitney and April] I don't care.

'The language that I used was course and vile and I don't like it and that's me owning my s**t, I don't care what anybody else thinks. That's what I think.'

Further justifying his behaviour, Thomas concluded:  The point being is, I did not want to be there at that time. And if I had my time again, knowing what I know now, I would just not have gone.'
