Married at First Sight UK 2021 latest – Fans demand Nikita AXED over ‘domestic violence’ amid Franky's 'awkward' speech

MARRIED At First Sight viewers are demanding Nikita gets the boot after her row with Ant appeared to turnphysical.

Nikita was left unimpressed with her partner when she met him for the first time on their big day.

And on the first night of their honeymoon she hurled a drink at him in a rage.

It left a bad taste in some viewers' mouths who said it was unacceptable 'domestic violence'.

And fans could barely watch Franky's cringetastic wedding speech in last night's show.

One after another of the ex-soldier's cliched gags were met with a painful silence from the reception guests.

  AMY’S WEDDING DAY DISASTER REVEALED

  Married At First Sight’s Amy Christophers suffered a huge disaster on her wedding morning that throws her special day into chaos.

  But there was no time to relax in her bridal robe with a glass of fizz in hand, as Amy, 34, revealed a water shortage at the hotel means she couldn’t take a shower before the ceremony.

  In tonight’s episode viewers saw the panicking bride telling her nearest and dearest about her ordeal.

  Amy was far from ready to walk down the aisle as she said: “It didn’t get off to the best start I went to turn on the shower and it wouldn’t turn on.

  “I went to call reception and they said ‘oh yeah we’ve got a bit of an issue there’s no water in the hotel at the moment’.”

  She added: “It may seem like I am calm and collected but I am totally freaking out, there’s not very long until I get married and because of the water situation I’m running late and the whole thing is making me anxious.”

  VIEWERS ACCUSE ‘RUDE’ NIKITA OF COPYING AUSSIE CONTESTANTS CYRELL AND INES

  Nikita became one of the first brides to tie the knot on Monday night’s episode, being paired up with Manchester-born Ant. 

  However, she immediately got into the viewers bad books with her ‘rude’ reaction to Ant, ranting that he didn’t match up to her high demands for looks. 

  She later swore at the altar, got sour-faced at the reception and seemed dismissive of her new husband, before finally warming up to him. 

  Her behaviour shocked viewers, who thought she was being too harsh on her mild-mannered Ant, with love expert Paul Brunson even labelling her ‘shallow’ to her face elsewhere in the episode. 

  But some viewers believe that Nikita has been studying up on the success of Married at First Sight Australia, taking tips from its divisive contestants to ensure she makes waves. 

  Taking to Twitter, one wrote: “Married At First Sight UK – Nikita inserted as the new Cyrell – so contrived.”

  The Veterinary nurse, 31, took to her Instagram last night to share a black-and-white photo of herself celebrating her debut on the E4 series.

  Standing barefoot on a booth, Morag revealed that she had thrown a party for her nearest and dearest who weren’t able to attend her wedding on the E4 series.

  Captioning the pic, she penned: “Had the best night celebrating with friends and family last night.🤍 the weddings we’re kept really small and couldn’t have all our loved ones there. So last night certainly made up for it 🥂”.

  The post got fans talking in the comments section and had many wondering if she was still married to Welsh fireman Luke.

  One follower penned: “Oh I love you two together I really hope you make it 😍” to which Morag simply responded with several fingers crossed emojis.

  “Does this mean that you are still together?” a fan directly asked.

  MAFS FANS WANT NIKITA GONE OVER ‘DOMESTIC VIOLENCE’ CLAIMS

  Viewers have demanded that Nikita is axed after her “aggressive” fight with husband Ant.

  Viewers were “disgusted” when the Geordie lass chucked a coffee cup at Ant and demanded her own room after an explosive rant.

  Fans of the show have called for Nikita to be given boot after her conduct was branded an act of “domestic violence”.

  One fumed: “We are not going to make excuses for Nikita. I’m so sorry we finna hold her accountable.

  “This attitude is leading to physical violence. She even threw a lil tissue or whatever in the dispute… Nope she needs to be removed.”

  In last night’s instalment, viewers saw Nikita storm off the beach after Ant said he was not happy with her constantly asking him if he thought she had nice boobs and a bum.

  She also asked his permission to sunbathe topless, with him replying he’s not the man to tell her she can’t.

  She later insisted it was only “banter” when they tried to make up but they clashed spectacularly and she picked up the nearest object, chucking a takeaway coffee cup at her husband.

  It was the final straw for Ant, who roared: “If you want to get it out, get it out.”

  She stormed off swearing and screamed: “Put me in a different room to him, I am not sitting with him.”

  ARE LIBRAS & SCORPIOS COMPATIBLE?

  Astrology is important to Amy who is a Libra and Josh is a Scorpio.

  But what does that mean? Is it a good or bad thing?

  Well on paper they shouldn’t work, but Libras love to be swept up quickly in relationships, while Scorpios are keen to get into a couple.

  Libras have strong libidos which are big attraction to Scorpios.

  But overall, once the initial passion wears off Scorpios will want more commitment than Libras can give and will end up getting really jealous.

  Scorpios tend to be stubborn and don’t compromise easily.

  So all in all, not a great match.

  MAFS VIEWERS FUME AT MORAG’S CUTTING REMARK TO LUKE WHICH LEFT HIM IN TEARS

  MAFS viewers were outraged tonight as Morag “emasculated” Luke on their honeymoon.

  The Welshman was left in tears after Morag called him a boy and not a man after he failed to make a move on her.

  She said: “I feel like you’re not treating me like I am your wife. I just want you to be a bit more manly. A bit more romantic.

  “I want to fancy you. I do. You’re lovely, but I just need more man than boy.”

  She was also critical of his appearance and style, doubting whether he was the man for her.

  Speaking to camera, Luke teared up as he said it confirmed his worst fear, that he wasn’t good enough for his wife.

  One viewer wrote on Twitter: “Ouch Morag #MAFSUK.”

  A second wrote: “How are you sitting here telling him you don’t fancy him, emasculating him and expecting him to want to rip your clothes off #MAFSUK.”

  MAFS EX-SOLDIER CAN SMELL WHEN SOMEONE IS A BAD PERSON

  Married At First Sight's Franky reckons he can sniff out when someone is a bit dodgy.

  The never before married Franky, 47, is this year's oldest contestant who works as a strength and conditioning coach in Dubai.

  Along with being a 'straight to the point' kind of guy, Franky also claims to have a special talent when it comes to figuring out if someone is a good person.

  "My Tinder tagline, 'fit, funny, positive'," he explains, before adding, "what you see on the 'Tin' is what you get."

  "I'm a very direct person, life is short, let's get to the point and to the matter quickly."

  He admits that approach has got him into trouble in the past, but he's a very traditional person.

  "I'm cut out of old cloth," he says.

  "From the military, I know when someone is not a nice person or when someone is a helpful person. I smell it in individuals."

  Franky's been paired up with 37-year-old mum-of-two Marilyse, who also works in the fitness industry.

  The post got fans talking in the comments section and had many wondering if she was still married to Welsh fireman Luke.

  "Does this mean that you are still together?" a fan directly asked. Playing coy, Morag replied with a lip-sealed emoji.

  The reality TV star was spilling any secrets and insisted, "sworn to secrecy".

  That's not all though as Morag replied to another viewer comment which read, "I hope you are still together, he is so lovely and you need to look beyond what you’ve ordered, or you’ll never find someone! xx".

  Tellingly Morag replied: "He is an absolute angel. And you’re not wrong. Everyday I’m learning and growing. Xx".

  MARRIED AT FIRST SIGHT VIEWERS OVER THE MOON AT FIRST SAME-SEX COUPLE

  One wrote: "Great to see a gay couple on #MAFSUK."

  A second posted: "Already love #MarriedAtFirstSightuk#MAFSUK & so happy they are having a gay marriage!"

  BRING THE MAFS DRAMA

  The reason that the UK has decided to copy Married At First Sight Australia this series is due to the drama that the Aussie version brings.

  In 2018, one contestant, Dean Wells cheated on the wife he’d been paired with, Tracey Jewel, with another bride – and they were all living under one roof.

  Of course, when the cheating came out, drama ensued and there was a huge argument over the dinner table.

  43-year-old creative director Dean even joked that he deserved royalties on seeing the new formula for the UK’s version of the show.

  With the couples all living together once they’re married, could this happen to the UK’s version too?

  We can't wait to see how it pans out.

    'WE WANT COUPLES TO HAVE SEX'

    With a young cast, the series feels like it has the potential to be similar to Love Island's Casa Amor.

    Relationship expert Paul Bronson admitted the couples are matched up in the hope that they'll want to rip each other's clothes off.

    Speaking to Closer, Paul said: "We all look for shared values, complimentary personality and presumed attraction.

    "We want our couples to have a physical attraction [and] intimacy. We want the couples to have sex – it's very important.

    "Sometimes, we come across couples who are fiery. That's great, because you should be passionate about love and your life and what your marriage stands for. But when it's inappropriate, we don't like it."
