Married At First Sight UK’s Hannah Norburn has taken a subtle swipe at her new husband after the latest episode sparked backlash from viewers.
Earlier this week, we were introduced to the 33-year-old, who owns private health, fitness and wellness studios. She tied the knot to ex-Mormon, fitness coach and father-of-four Stephen Nolson, also 33.
Ready to 'settle down', Hannah explained: "I feel like like I've been giving out wifey energy to boys who don't deserve it, so I'm ready to give it to a husband."

However, things seemed off to a rocky start for Hannah and Stephen after having a blow-out during their honeymoon where the groom accused his wife of 'turning it into The Hannah Show' after she seemingly threatened to bring up a family secret he told her off-air.
"I told Hannah something about my family in complete confidence off camera and she was going to use it as ammunition," Stephen explained.
Meanwhile, the bride told the camera crew: "I felt completely and utterly attacked.
"My reaction was to fight back. Imagine someone sitting in front of, 'You're this, you're that'. You're f**king rude."
Channel 4 viewers also believe they've picked up on some behaviour being exhibited by Hannah that they seem to be considering a 'red flag'.
And the latest episode left MAFS UK fans sharing similar sentiments following a dinner party argument between Hannah and Stephen when they joined the main group.
One X user hit out: "The experts seeing Hannah and Stephen for 2 mins at the dinner party and thinking he’s the problem…"
Another slammed: "There should be a spin off show where they put Hannah and Eve in a room together and just see who storms off the quickest."
"Hannah, this man communicated to you that he needs time to think, the relationship needs to move forward slowly to get back to where it was, and before he can finish you have another meltdown," criticised a third.
"The level of immaturity is wild."
Hannah has since spoken out against the backlash sharing a tweet which quoted her and Stephen's interaction.
It reads: "'I'm trying to have a good time.' 'Yeah but you're not trying to have a good time with me because you're not talking to me'."
The X user rounded off defending: "That is a fair point. Hannah is CLEARLY trying."
In a follow-up statement about Kristina voting the bride and groom as the 'weakest' couple, the reality TV star assured: "Me and Stephen were not furious in any way. We were totally fine with Kristina voting us weakest.
"It was fair enough and she was super sweet about how she worded it."
She continued: "We absolutely owned it. SMILED, had a giggle about it and accepted it. Think we may have even high fived to try cut the tension from what I remember."
Married at First Sight UK airs every Monday to Thursday at 9.00pm on E4.
