Married at First Sight fans fume 'not liking this match' moments into wedding


Married at First Sight viewers were left shocked after a groom failed to compliment his new wife as they met for the first time at the altar.

During Thursday's episode of the E4 reality show (September 19), Adam Aveling, 33, waited patiently to see Polly Sellman, 28, for the first time as he was excited to finally be getting married/ But when he met his stunning bride he failed to compliment her.

However, Polly, a careers advisor, wasted no time showering barber Adam with praise for his looks.

Speaking to the camera, excited Polly raved about her husband-to-be being "very attractive" with a "beefy" physique and "nice haircut". She then confessed: "I do fancy him," but the feeling wasn't mutual.

Adam then admitted: "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."

Polly's best friend Alfie noticed the lack of compliments and wasted no time in speaking to Adam.

But the groom shrugged Alfie's concerns off and admitted he normally goes for brunettes, although Adam did express his gratitude for Polly's "bubbly personality".

Viewers watching the drama unfold wasted no time in taking to social media to share their disappointment with Adam's comments: "Alfie clocked Adam from the get-go", added one person.

"The first thing you noticed about her was her BUBBLY PERSONALITY give me a break Adam #mafsuk", added another.

While another echoed: "Nah not liking this match at all. Adam. #MAFSUK."
