Shocked MAFS viewers praise woman’s perfect response after husband’s comments about her ‘curves’

Viewers have been left completely dumbfounded after watching one Married At First Sight contestant admit he isn't a fan of his new wife's 'curves' - with her response being praised across social media.

34-year-old gardener Caspar Todd was paired up with Emma Bourne, 31, and all seemed to be going quite well... until he opened his mouth.

Following their ceremony, during which they both said 'I do', the two embarked on their honeymoon, during which Emma wore a bikini.

Speaking directly to the camera, MAFS star Caspar said: "She's a very confident person in herself and her body, but first time seeing Emma in a bikini, I'm not feeling sexual sparks that I was hoping to feel. Liking a more petite woman generally is something I have always fancied more than curves. That's just my preference."

Later on in the episode, Emma asked Caspar: "Do you think I look sexy tonight?"

Caspar didn't respond, prompting Emma to say: "You don't think I'm sexy?"

After what felt like a lifetime, Caspar said: "No."

That's when things really started to kick off.

Emma questioned: "So, you didn't fancy me and you don't fancy me - right?"

Caspar replied: "Not currently, no, let's be honest."

Emma then ranted: "If you didn't think I was sexy in my f*****g wedding dress and my gorgeous bikini today, I don't know what hope there is.

"But what we're here to do is look beyond that and what you need to do is look beyond that because my personality, my confidence should help you be more confident and you should see qualities bigger than my clothes size.

"You need to work on your view of women."

The mic drop moment has delighted viewers on social media.

One person wrote on X: "The respect I have for Emma."

Another added: "This clearly isn't gonna work between Emma and Caspar... I hope she finds someone she deserves and who loves her for who she is."

A third said: "Caspar was so rude, to be told your partner does not find you remotely attractive and mentioning her size literally 2 days into the marriage would be enough for me to call it quits. If he doesn’t fancy her now then he never will. She deserves better and she’s gorgeous."

While someone else praised: "Emma is absolutely fierce and fabulous!"
