While she hasn't had it easy since being paired up with 'hubby' Adam Nightingale last month, Married At First Sight star Polly Sellman has today taken aim at viewers of the show.
That's right - in a scathing statement posted to social media over the weekend, the on-screen bride accused 'disgusting' Channel 4 viewers of making her reality TV experience even worse.
To be fair to her, throughout the first few weeks of the 2024 series - which kicked off last month - Polly has had it rather rough.

Fans' hearts broke just minutes after she and husband Adam tied the knot, with her groom claiming he wasn't physically attracted to her.
In the weeks that followed, it looked as though the state of their marriage was going from bad to worse.
As well as once again giving Polly the cold shoulder - despite getting intimate with her during their honeymoon - Adam also told several of his co-stars that he couldn't get over his lack of attraction, saddening viewers at home.
Only recently have the pair gone on to build some form of romance - just in time for Polly to seemingly fall out of favour with MAFS UK viewers.
The last weeks' episodes have seen the 28-year-old bride embroil herself in several spats with her fellow co-stars.
As well as coming under fire from viewers earlier this month for 'unfairly' branding her former co-star Charlie Curtis a 'bully' amid her split from Eve, Polly has also butted heads with Alex Henry amid a fiery dinner party row, and accused Hannah Norburn of making inappropriate comments towards the other grooms.
Apparently, however, Polly has had enough of viewers having their say on her on-screen antics on social media.
Taking to her own Instagram account following Thursday night's bombshell get-together, she penned in a lengthy statement: "Guys can I just say all the comments on posts to me and other cast members are disgusting and so consistent I think you’ll find the script has reversed and you’re all not nice people, which is weird because you don’t like us but comment on our stuff…".
She went on: "There is absolutely no excuse for online bullying and fans should absolutely be encouraged not to send hateful messages to any of the cast members, no matter what is depicted on their television screens."
It seemed as though Polly was aware that many viewers have been finding her behaviour hypocritical following her on-screen tirades, as she continued in the message: "Yes we made comments to others when we were in there.
"But it was addressed, apologised and moved on from because it was months ago. The comments and messages we get are relentless and they seem to be from the same people over and over again."
Polly went on: "I think that’s what you’d call a bully. This needs to stop, it’s a f**king tv show man.
"It’s not that deep... You’d moan if it was boring and you’re moaning because there’s drama… we can’t win!"
I guess that's us told then...
