A BRAND new shock Married At First Sight UK feud has emerged with one former show groom launching a blistering attack on one of the brand new brides.
Adrian Sanderson, who appeared on the E4 reality series in 2022, has let rip having watched the first week of the programme.
Her fat-shaming comments to Dean have not gone unnoticed[/caption]
The star was married to Thomas Hartley on the programme but their marriage quickly crumbled.
But now Adrian is having his say on new bride Sarah and insisted he was “absolutely disgusted” with her following her horrific fat-shaming comments.
Adrian was referring to Sarah’s comments in which she insisted the only way she would find her new husband attractive was if he “lost some weight and got some tattoos“.
Ranting on Instagram, an enraged Adrian said: “When [Dean] sat her down to try and say how he felt and he was saying how he had drawn back to the kid he was in school and she’s just sat there, pulling these stupid, pathetic faces!
“I hope they don’t stay and I hope they don’t last a week so that poor man does not have to suffer that immature woman anymore.”
Adrian went on to further put Sarah on blast in the written caption for his social media post.
He said: “What I just witnessed is utterly shameful.
“And these days people think saying ‘I want to be honest, I want to be transparent’ gives them a pass to be widely and unfairly unkind.
“He was trying to explain how that made him feel and she wasn’t even concerned about him then.
“She was concerned about her responsibility coming back to bite her, pulling faces like a mean school girl while he has been transported to the unpleasant time of being unpopular school boy.
“I hope I’m wrong and I’ll gladly apologise. I just can’t see how.”
Fans had been threatening to complain to Ofcom in their droves over Sarah’s poor treatment of Dean.
MAFS BACKLASH
The backlash started in the opening episode of this year’s show.
It came when Sarah revealed she “didn’t fancy him”, and on their honeymoon she told her groom that she had never been out with someone as “big” as him.
In one episode, she was seen heard talking to the camera about what it would take to get a “spark” with Dean, to which she bluntly replied: “Get some tattoos, lose some weight.”
Dean also asked her a similar question: “Would it (the spark between them) be any different if I wasn’t as big?”
To which she replied: “Erm, probably.”
Dean was then seen looking devastated at her reply.

ADRIAN’S JOURNEY
Adrian saw his marriage crumble at one of the final dinner parties on the show.
During their final scenes on the show, his husband, Liverpudlian Thomas broke down in tears as he admitted it was “tough” seeing the other couples in love.
In floods of tears, Thomas said: “I’m looking round the table and seeing how happy everyone is and I just don’t feel like that.
“We’re not in love and it sucks really.”
Thomas pulled hubby Adrian for a chat outside and came clean on where his head was at.
Adrian told the group: “I would like to make a bit of an announcement that me and Thomas have had a chat and after making a phenomenal journey and coming from hell on earth with this chap and coming to the most amazing place where I actually adore this man and everything about him, we have decided that we will not be making it to final vows, and we will be bowing out gracefully.”
Thomas added: “And with the most beautiful man that I would never have asked for anything more in this experience.
“We’re going to be best friends forever but not husbands forever.”
Mafs couples that have stood the test of time
Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.
The pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam’s Doncaster home.
Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.
Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.
Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: “I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out – and excited for everything to come.”
Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.
Owen recalled: “I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.
“While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.
“The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if I signed up?’
“A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.”
Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.
Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna’s vegan lifestyle, the show’s first same sex pairing are still going strong.
They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.
Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: “We’re not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship.”
