MAFS UK’s Keye Defends Cat Café Reaction as Fans Turn on Favourite Couple

A cat café visit during homestays triggered backlash over pet preferences.

Overview

  • In Monday’s episode, Davide surprised Keye with a cat café visit that left him “uncomfortable” and joking he would have preferred a dog café.
  • On camera, Keye described the setting as “overwhelming,” while Davide asked if he could warm to his pets, prompting a tense exchange about expectations.
  • The scene unfolded during homestays, which test day-to-day compatibility for couples previously viewed as among the series’ strongest.
  • By Tuesday, Keye posted that he “won’t apologise,” saying much of his commentary was tongue-in-cheek and citing claustrophobia and the cats’ connection to Davide’s ex as context.
  • Viewer response turned sharply critical on social platforms, with posts branding him “pretentious,” while the couple’s longer-term outcome remains unconfirmed on air.
