MAFS UK viewers demand bride gives new groom 'apology' after reaction at altar shocked viewers

MAFS UK viewers think new groom Ryan Livesey might be due an apology after bride, Sionainn Carmichael's reaction to her new husband.

Tuesday evening's (8 October) episode of the dating show saw a brand new couple tie the knot, but viewers were pretty taken aback after they had a very awkward first meeting.

You can watch the cringeworthy moment below:

As Sionainn walked down the aisle to meet Ryan, everything appeared to be going well.

But off camera, she said: "Very pretty, I think potentially high maintenance. He looks like a f**k boy to me, all looks and no substance.

"Feeling very overwhelmed. When I first saw Ryan I immediately thought, 'he's going to be just like the rest of them'.

"He's good looking but is he going to be the kind of guy I can trust."

Ryan noticed Sionainn's reaction, admitting he felt 'awkward'.

And MAFS viewers at home felt that Sionainn was too harsh on Ryan, with many wondering why she 'judged' him.

One person wrote on X: "Nooo, she instantly judged him," while another said: "Why are they all judging Ryan, he seems so sweet."

A third added: "This reaction is so strong, he’s not even said anything yet."

Meanwhile, a fourth wrote: "Can’t believe she’s judging a book by its cover." And a fifth said: "I hope they all eat their words. I want an apology on his behalf.

"The least she can do is make it bearable until she gets a chance to get to know him."

Although viewers think Sionainn 'judged' Ryan too soon, the make-up artist from Glasgown seemed to be more at ease when she found out that Ryan has a six-year-old son.

"I found out Ryan has a son, I like a guy who has some responsibilities, I'm starting to realise he might be more emotionally mature than I thought," she said.

"... I've maybe been a bit hasty in judging Ryan, I've just been hurt so many times in the past that my walls went back up but I am going to keep an open mind to see where things go."

Despite the rocky start, Sionainn and Ryan did seem to grow closer during the reception, with Sionainn even admitting she felt they 'were a good match' after Ryan opened up on his battle with bladder cancer, which he went through at the age of 17.
