Netflix’s hit reality series The Ultimatum made its explosive return with season two, however despite the initial excitement viewers were left disgruntled.
Lisa Horne sent shockwaves around the world after she was filmed hitting her boyfriend Brian Okoye across the face in front of the other contestants.
Their bitter row kicked off after he flirted with another woman before she found out she was pregnant which therefore prompted her shock exit from the show.
The new season which premiered on Wednesday 23, sees six couples temporarily break up and have encounters with other potential matches to put their love to the test.
However, the premiere took a disastrous left after the 31-year-old struck her partner.
Towards the end of episode one, Lisa became visibly upset after Brian hit it off with his new match Riah Nyree, and muttered he was ”sitting up there talking to the Hooters b***h.”
She then proceeded to interrupt their conversation to interrogate Riah, but when the model excused herself, Lisa and Brian got into an argument.
It was then Lisa lashed out: “You can go ahead and talk to the girl, I really don’t care,” before hitting Brian’s face.
Viewers were appalled to see the slap and took to social media with fury to slam her actions.

While @dubhltach stated: “The way Lisa put her hand in Brian's face. If that was the other way round he'd be thrown off the show.”
As @stephsenclair criticized the streaming giant and added: “Netflix is messy AF for letting Lisa stay on the show after she slapped her man in the face because if it was the other way around.” (sic)
Their argument continued outside with Lisa shouting: “We're done,' she said. 'F**k marriage, f**k The Ultimatum, f**k you.”
But before the credits rolled, co-presenter Nick Lachey revealed to the cast Lisa and Brian had quit the social experiment because she was pregnant.
