The series premiere got off to a rough start with one participant saying: “This is the worst thing I’ve ever done in my f**king life.”
In the show, the brides and grooms see each other for the first time at the altar on their wedding day with their families and friends in tow.
Whitney Hughes, a PA from St Albans, admitted she had high expectations for her partner, and was left discontent with Duka, Cav, a recruitment HR coordinator from Birmingham.
She remarked: “I wanted a man who’s a man that’s towering over me, like massive, like a brick house. Compared to a house, maybe he’s a shed.
But added: “But there’s no patches in his beard, so I’m not going to knock his beard.”
She continued: “I’m in between maybe saying the vows, or maybe, just like, run.
“This is the worst thing I’ve ever done in my f**king life.”
Viewers took to Twitter to criticise her reaction. On tweeted: “Whitney is just so rude! Why take on the show if your not prepared to try! Feel so sorry for Duka #MAFS.”
Another user said: “Why is Whitney acting like she didn’t just sign up to a show about getting married at first sight #MAFSUK#MAFS.”
Another viewer commented: “Why does Whitney think she is above Duka?? Rolling her eyes lol she knew what she signed up for #MAFSUK#MAFS#MarriedAtFirstSightUK#MarriedAtFirstSight.”
