It’s the moment Married At First Sight fans have been waiting for – the exact moment Mishel Meshes dumps husband Steve Burley.

For three months now, Steve has refused to be intimate with Mishel, not even a loving kiss – and she’s had enough.
On Tuesday night’s episode we watched her pour her heart out over the fact that Steve would not give her the affection she desired, while he insisted he was in love with her.
‘It’s time for a romantic kiss,’ Mishel told viewers, defeated. ‘If nothing happens, I can’t keep putting myself out there. I’ve done it too many times. This is a now or never moment for me.’
Now, pictures show the moment Mishel decided it was ‘never’.
Mishel can be seen standing out the front of her hotel with her bags packed, waiting for a cab.
Steve stands nearby, with tears streaming down his face.
After she bids him farewell, cameras capture the moment he holds his face in his hands. He’s been dumped after months of leading Mishel on, or, ‘cruising’ as his co-stars described it.
The defining moment for Mishel came on Tuesday night’s episode, when their final date ended with an awkward hug before bed.
The pair had shared Mishel’s bed the past few nights, but on the final evening, Steve offered to hug her for a couple of seconds before returning to his own bed. ‘Cuddle up to Roo Girl and go to sleep,’ he said, gesturing at the teddy bear he gave her. ‘See you in the morning.’
‘There isn’t going to be romance in this relationship… we’ll finish as friends,’ Mishel admitted to herself, defeated.
But by the looks of things, a friendship doesn’t appear to be on the cards, either.
