MAFS UK viewers baffled over groom's shocking decision after criticising wife in bizarre comment

Married at First Sight viewers have been left fuming following the treatment of one bride by her new groom.

Last night's episode (25 September), showed Adam Nightingale, 33, and his wife Polly Sellman, 28, embarking upon their honeymoon together.

Red flags have been rife with the pair, with Adam telling the cameras after his nuptials: "The initial attraction's not 100 percent there. She's not my usual type. 10 out of 10 for me would be petite, brunette, dark features, tan. She's not what I expected."

When confronted by her best friend, Alfie, Adam admitted he's usually attracted to brunettes... but can appreciate Polly's 'bubbly personality'. Ouch.

Now that the pair have said 'I do' and are living as a newly married couple, the reality series saw them jet off to enjoy marital bliss.

It was revealed that despite Adam and Polly getting intimate on their first night as man and wife, Adam has once again started to give Polly the cold shoulder.

Adam told the camera crew: "Oh, the wedding night it did get a bit intimate. Thinking about it, I realised that maybe I shouldn't have done it just because I don't know where my head's at."

Polly then revealed: "There has been intimacy with me and Adam. It happened really naturally and it's been really nice because I feel like, again, that really helped us be where we are."

The two being clearly on different pages eventually dawned on Polly who took the opportunity to try and get a clear message from him while they visited a spa.

She asked: "So how are you feeling now? You've said that you're, like, a bit of a slow burn. Like, how do you feel, like, now? Has the candle… has it been lit?"

Adam avoided the question and began to stumble over his words, responding: "I've just gone all giddy. My mind's gone blank. Erm… I was trying to wing it, and I need to actually think, don't I? Like, there's loads of pressure on me now."

Polly then admitted to the camera: "It's making me feel a bit worried, cos I think that he should have been able to answer straight away."

Viewers are now furious with Adam for sleeping with Polly on their wedding night despite being avoidant with whether or not he's actually interested in her.

One person wrote on X: "Polly is giving Adam too much power. He fancied you enough to sleep with you. Tell him you ain’t got time to waste and you don’t have to wait on him either."

Married at First Sight airs every Monday to Thursday at 9.00pm on E4.
