MARRIED at First Sight UK stars Amy Kenyon and Adam Nightingale are facing backlash from fans who accuse them of pretending to be a couple for attention.
The pair, who tied the knot with other people on the Channel 4 show — Amy with Luke, and Adam with Polly — have been inseparable since filming ended.

But viewers aren’t buying their “just mates” routine, claiming the whole thing is a desperate bid to stay relevant.
One said on Reddit: “Amy’s just milking it for attention because she was the most boring person to ever be on TV.”
Another agreed, ranting. “There’s no way she’d go near (him). He’s been begging it since the couple swap episode, blissfully unaware he’s about 7 leagues below her in looks.”
Another fan piled on, slamming Adam’s behaviour: “It’s ridiculous.
“Amy felt uncomfortable with Luke because he was so keen, but Adam just about dribbling on her is perfectly fine? Sweet even? Make it make sense.”
The backlash kicked off after the pair started posting endless cosy snaps together online, with some fans cringing at their interactions.
“They’re actually horrendously cringe,” another viewer fumed.
“Like 12-year-olds pretending not to be in a relationship. Even when they opened the honesty box, no one looked like they gave a crap. So dull.”
Despite the criticism, Amy and Adam continue to share their time together on social media.
But some fans are losing patience.
“It’s never gonna happen,” another wrote. “She’s using him to stay relevant, and he’s desperate for it to happen. It’s boring now!”
In this week’s explosive reunion episode they were asked about their relationship status, with Adam replying: “There’s been no kissing… so far.”
Speaking in a confessional with Adam, Amy said: “I’m not sure what the future holds for me and Adam. I don’t think the book is fully closed.”
But her jaw dropped when Adam replied: “Maybe some little mini Adams could be on the cards… or maybe we could just practice.”
Adam originally tied the knot with Polly Sellman, while Amy’s show groom was Luke Debono.
And Adam recently insisted he isn’t ruling out a relationship with Amy in the future.
He told The Sun: “I feel like there is chemistry between me and Amy. We do flirt a lot, there’s a lot of flirt banter.
“Whether something progresses, who knows.
“I like how it is at the minute, we’re friends that flirt.
“Who knows? Amy’s single. I think everyone is just too busy with their careers at the moment.”
