A MARRIED At First Sight bride was left squirming in her underwear during a brutal start to intimacy week.
The sexiness of the E4 matchmaking series, set in Australia but aired weeks later in the UK, was ramped up as a MAFS expert set a specific challenge for the couples.

Clinical sexologist Alessandra Rampolla, who is one of the show experts and has more than 20 years experience, asked the newlyweds to “create for your partner your ultimate fantasy night.”
The show voiceover then explained how it was the brides who were “calling all the shots.”
A clip then panned to Jacqui – who suffered an awkward mishap on her wedding day when groom Ryan, 37, dropped her.
She was seen standing in front of her man in racy black lingerie, and, taken aback as to what to say, he uttered “mm mmmm.”
He then said: “Yummy,” before taking a huge swig of Prosecco.
The voiceover explained: “Jacqui and Ryan’s attempted intimacy takes a dramatic turn.”
In a piece to camera, the blonde bombshell bride said: “I think Ryan struggles with words on how to complement a woman.”
Then, direct to her spouse, she was seen challenging him on the bed.
Sh stripped to a flesh-coloured bra and thong set with cut-out panels and a red trim and asked him: “How hard is it to be like ‘hey, I made a mistake, you’re gorgeous?’”
Yet in a sign of huge issues to come, he dealt out a brutal reply and said: “Cause that would be a lie, that’s right.”
Ryan was then seen walking out as the clip wrapped.
MARRIAGE ISSUES
Jacqui’s comments referred to a segment in a previous episode when they took on a Comparison Challenge.
Instead of ranking his bride top, he chose Rhi, which understandably left Jacqui irked.
Yet she fought fire with fire, and promptly told him her ex had the “body of a God.”
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.”
Further issues aired on the show have included her getting annoyed when he watches TV and leaves his shoes on the bed.
Meanwhile, Jacqui’s ambition seems an issue for Ryan, and he was less than impressed when she claimed she wanted to earn $500million in her lifetime.
The Intimacy Week mishap also came shortly after viewers had branded Ryan a “walking red flag.”
They made their comments – and confessed he had given them the “ick” – after he reeled off a list of his qualities.
It came after he was accused of “ruining everything” after dropping his spouse on the floor during their first dance routine.
Jacqui was then seen in tears – claiming his “hurtful” remarks had left her upset.
The new series of MAFS Australia is currently airing in the UK, but has been broadcast Down Under weeks before.
MAFS AU continues on E4 and Channel 4 Streaming.
