Those braving the country retreat included Adam Nightingale, Amy Kenyon, Ella Morgan, Erica Roberts, Kieran Chapman and Kristina Goodsell.
Amongst them were Shona Manderson and Matt Pilmoor who have been going strong for over a year since their series of the E4 show.
Shona, 31, left the show because of her unhealthy relationship with Brad Skelly – whose behaviour was deemed controlling and manipulative by charity Women’s Aid.
But she found love afterwards with another star on the show – window cleaner Matt, 29 – who originally ‘married’ Adrienne Naylor.
In tonight’s reunion, Shona revealed the secret to her happy relationship with Matt was that the couple have never raised their voice at each other.
Later, at the end of the show, Shona took a question from the show’s box of tricks and asked Matt: “What do you love most about me?”
Matt replied: “Actually, I’ve prepared something.”
“Shona, one year and four months ago, we met.
“In fact where we met, is where we are sitting right now.
“You came at the most unexpected point in my life.
“You have been the most incredible gorgeous girl by my side, every step of the way.
“You have helped me through the hardest time of my life.”
As Matt got emotional, Shona leaned on him and gave him a hug as some of the other stars supported him with words of encouragement to carry on.
He continued: “With your special way to listen and speak and give advice.
“I can’t thank you enough. Shona, I want to show you how committed I am with this ring.”
Kristina’s mouth dropped open and there were cries of ‘Oh My God’ around the table as everyone got excited for what appeared to be a marriage proposal.
Matt added: “And to promise you the most amazing future.
“We never had a wedding during the experiment.
“So please take this as a vow that one day in the near future, you will be my wife and the most gorgeous mother of my children.
“You genuinely are my world and I cannot wait for our next chapter.”
Shona leaned in and the couple kissed while the table cheered and applauded the pair.
Matt then opened the ring box and said: “It’s a promise ring.”
Shona looked overjoyed as she showed off her new sparkling diamond ring.
Later she said: “I just feel like I am on cloud 9, I feel like I am floating.”
Fans however weren’t as thrilled and quickly voiced their thoughts on social media.
“F**g promise ring what are they 12” declared one fan.
“Ah so that’s why they’re there! A f****g promise ring… are these people 15?!” stated another.
A third said: ” A f****g “promise ring”?? Grow up you f****g Neanderthal.
“A promise ring is just a way to get your girlfriend to stop asking when you’re going to propose, without having to actually propose.”
“All that for a promise ring” added another.
Taking to Instagram after the reunion show had aired, Shona told fans: ” I said yes!! I’m semi engaged to @mattpilmoor 💕💕💕 hehe love my promise ring such a cute way to end our journey on MAFS.
“Matty’s speech was sooo cute & emotional but obviously you couldn’t see it all so I’ve left it here for you guys. Never stop believing in love. Love you all xxxx”
