Married At First Sight UK made a welcome return to TV screens on Monday, 16 September.The E4 reality show got off to a explosive start as the grooms came to blows just minutes into the first episode of the series, following a controversial comment about a 'wife swap'.
Despite having not met his wife yet, groom Alex could be seen questioning what would happen if he wasn't attracted to the woman he'd been matched with and found himself interested in somebody else during the experiment.The other contestants weren't impressed with Alex's comments and tension soon rose between them all behind the scenes.
Alex, 28, who has been single for seven months, said: "What if I am not totally attracted to my wife? And there is another lady that I am attracted to?" Fellow groom Kieran then said: "Come in with your wife and if you are going to leave, don’t leave with someone else's wife.
Wife swapping shouldn't even be coming into someone’s head right now." "For me the idea of walking into this process and having that in my mind, that I might want someone else’s wife and then see what happens, that’s just ludicrous," Caspar said.
