Married at First Sight star Hannah Norburn has spoken out after last night’s explosive episode, saying she’d needed to take things ‘slowly’ after watching back events of the retreat.
Hannah came under fire after co-stars accused her of flirting with two other grooms - Orson Nurse and Ryan Livesey - on the show.
But it was brides Holly Ditchfield and Polly Sellman who caused a stir with fans, having confronted Hannah about the situation.

During the retreat, Holly and Polly had revealed to the group that Hannah asked Orson to hold her hand to make husband Stephen feel ‘jealous’.
While Hannah was the source of anger among the group, online, many fans hit out at Holly and Polly for the way they confronted her – especially after Hannah later claimed the entire thing was a misinterpreted joke.
After the episode aired, Hannah took to Instagram to say she had ‘no words left’, posting a selfie video of her drinking a cup of tea with a smile to the camera.

But now, after some time to reflect, she’s addressed the episode further, thanking fans for their support.
“Woken up today to the kindest words of support and love,” she began.
“Thank you so much.
“I’m going to navigate today slowly because watching last night unfold and the way I was treated and spoken about behind my back has certainly not been easy to relive, especially when I had no idea I was being treated the way I was. But I am so grateful for all the lovely kind messages and I see them all.”

She also reposted a graphic that said: “Pay attention to who actually takes your feelings into consideration.”
Holly had also discussed the confrontation in an Instagram Q&A about the confrontation, where one viewer asked: "If you could go back, would you change the way you confronted Hannah?”
To which she replied: "I wouldn’t change nothing in my life. You live and you learn.

"I would have just liked to have been able to have that conversation with her before the girl’s day."
Polly also opened up about the episode to her followers on Instagram – apologising for speaking to Hannah in the way that she did, while also asking fans to back off after receiving a large portion of the trolling.
She said: "I am absolutely not defending any behaviour from last night despite the things Hannah said and done, because it was to be quite frank, disgusting.
"I’ll apologise for the delivery but no what was said.

"However, commenting on my posts and the messages I’ve received genuinely make you no better than me with being called a bully and the rest which is quite ironic that none of you think about."
