Heartbreaking moment Married At First Sight’s groom admits ‘the spark is gone’ with wife – and marriage hits the rocks
A MARRIED At First Sight UK couple hit the rocks tonight after one groom admits the spark in their relationship has gone.
The drama on MAFS takes a heartbreaking turn in the latest episode as Kieran confesses his feelings for his bride Kristina have disappeared, leaving their relationship teetering on the edge.
The emotional confession comes after an explosive dinner party incident where the Newcastle mechanic, 29, kisses fellow bride Polly as a joke, igniting a fiery argument with Kristina in front of the group.
In a private conversation with his co-star, Kieran then opens up about the growing distance between him and Kristina.
“I feel like the spark is gone,” he admitted, his voice heavy with regret.
“Things just aren’t the same anymore.”
Kristina, who was still visibly hurt from the public kiss with Polly, has been struggling with Kieran’s lack of affection.
Kieran’s revelation came after weeks of tension between the couple, who have yet to be intimate.
While Kieran insists the kiss was harmless, Kristina struggles to move past the public embarrassment in Thursday’s episode.
She says the mechanic hasn’t even kissed her yet because of his “coldsores”.
And she appears to be shaking with anger, saying: “Oh my god.
“Did you just kiss another wife on your lips? I should think not Kieran.
“Remember respect with your wife, please.
“You’re not even at that level with me let alone one of my best friends in here.”
Some of the other brides and grooms exchange uncomfortable glances as they sit in stunned silence, unsure how to intervene.
The experts agree with Kristina though, with Paul Brunson saying: “It’s because of Kristina feeling rejected that of course she is going to feel that in that moment.”
The camera returns to Kristina, who said to Kieran: “Think of my feelings, please.”
He refused to answer her at first, but then he nodded and said: “Yeah, I hear you.”
The damage was already done, and Kristina turned away from Kieran in a sulk.
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.”

Watch EXPLOSIVE MAFS row erupt at dinner party as furious Sacha screams at ‘abusive groom’ Alex
MAFS UK descended into chaos again tonight when one bride lost it and hurled insults at a groom.
The pair had unfinished business, having previously clashed during a spa day in an earlier episode.
They also butted heads during a commitment ceremony last week with neither backing down.
Sacha saw red when Alex refused to apolgise following their latest spat tonight.
She turned the air blue at the dinner party, screaming: “You’re a f*****g baby who throws his f*****g dummy out of his pram. You’re a f*****g p**** …”
Alex laughed as she continued: “I’ll call that man a p**** over and over again for the way he treats women and speaks to women.”
The under fire groom held his tongue, perhaps after being slammed by his co-stars for comments he made on the spa day.
Polly was also expecting an apology from Alex after they clashed at the spa.
Alex told her that Adam was faking his feelings for her, and insited her husband wasn’t attracted to her.
Tension had been building for a while after the last commitment ceremony where Alex and Sacha also tore strips off each other.
Earlier, Ross took Alex to one side to ask him to apolgise to Sacha, saying: “I’m actually f*****g raging about that.”
Alex refused, with Ross snapping: “You can get the f**k out then. Selfish little p***k mate.”
Speaking in a confessional to the cameras, Alex said he was ready to back himself tonight.
He said: “There are a few issues which are actually laughable.
“Sacha and Polly were both coming for me.
“Unless I’ve asked for you advice, I don’t need it. My wife is not here, I’ve been through a lot.
“I’m going into tonight’s dinner party defending my marriage.
“Sacha loves to put her nose into other people’s business.
“If it comes down to it, I can handle myself.”
Alex, from Birmingham, previously came under fire from a group of women who clubbed together to petition Channel 4 to axe him amid “abuse” allegations.
And Women’s Aid condemned his involvement in a lengthy statement, saying the decision to feature him is both “disappointing and concerning.”

Emily Atack looks sensational as she poses in a bikini on Rivals set and reveals behind the scenes glimpse of show
EMILY Atack looked sensational as she posed in a bikini for behind-the-scenes Rivals. snaps
Based Jilly Cooper’s 1988 novel, Rivals launched on Disney+ on October 18.
Former Inbetweeners star Emily, 34, plays the character Sarah Stratton.
Taking to Instagram, Emily shared on the on-set bikini snaps with the caption: “What ep are you on?”
One fan replied: “Episode 6…second viewing!!!! So good I’ve had to watch it all twice!”
Another commented: “Watched all of them. We need a second series.”
Set in the Eighties in the fictional county of Rutshire, long-held grudges bubble to the surface as the characters vie for business and each others’ affections in the cut-throat world of telly execs.
Rivals’ all-star cast also includes David Tennant, Danny Dyer, Aidan Turner and Katherine Parkinson.
Less a month after its release, the Disney+ show’s future has already been confirmed.
Early screenings were said to have impressed bosses at the streaming giant.
A TV insider said: “The feeling is that there is still so much more in the story that could easily be made into a sequel.
“Disney+ appear to be on board, even though they haven’t announced an official commission yet.
“Bosses at the streamer can see there is a huge amount of anticipation for this show, and having seen the episodes, they know it won’t disappoint.
“So going for a follow-up is a no-brainer, though these things take money and time, particularly as they have to try to align the very busy diaries of Rivals’ star-studded cast.”
It comes as fans were left raving over the raunchy new series.
Taking to social media, one wrote: “I f*****g love #rivals on #DisneyPlus so glad it hasn’t disappointed me as it is my favourite book ever (and no I’m not embarrassed to admit it).”
Another added: “Episode one done. It’s magnificent! Well done @DisneyPlus and Dame Jilly. #Rivals.”
A third chimed in: “#rivals everything I expected and more! 80s hair, music and debauchery! I love it!”
While a fourth remarked: “Im loving this show!!! #rivals #hulu.”
Rivals is streaming on Disney+.

Sarah Jessica Parker shares presidential endorsement less than two weeks before 2024 election
Sarah Jessica Parker made reference to her Sex and the City character Carrie Bradshaw as she announced her support for Kamala Harris in next month’s presidential election.
Parker, 59, posted an image of herself holding up a “Harris/Walz” placard on Instagram.
In the caption, she listed 31 reasons why she intends to vote for the Democratic candidates, writing: “For the climate, For hope, For friends and loved ones in the LGBTQ+ community, For freedom, For science, For affordable healthcare, For our union members, For democracy, For my daughters, For my son, For all of our children…
“For equality, For dignity, For hope, For the constitution, For me, For love, For choice, And for a certain childless cat lady I play on TV.
“With an abundance of joy, optimism and pride I am voting for Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz. X, SJ.”
Her reference to a “certain childess cat lady” was not only a nod to Bradshaw, but also an apparent dig at Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance.
The Ohio senator complained in a 2021 interview that the country was being run by “a bunch of childless cat ladies” – including Kamala Harris – “who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too.”
Parker is the latest Hollywood star to endorse Harris for president and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for vice president. In recent weeks, actor Anne Hathaway and lifestyle guru Martha Stewart have each revealed they’ll be voting for Harris on election day, November 5.
“In case you didn’t know, I am voting for Kamala,” Hathaway said during a Broadway for Harris fundraising event. “Is anyone else here voting for Kamala?”
“America is a very big place and not everybody is decided, especially in an election like this when passions are rightly so intense because the stakes couldn’t be higher. It’s still very important to remember that you have to meet people where they’re at,” she continued.
“We thought that it might be nice to make a little space tonight for the undecided voter and contemplate a question that they might be struggling with,” Hathaway said, before breaking out into Queen’s “Somebody to Love,” which she performed in the 2004 film Ella Enchanted.
Meanwhile, Breaking Bad actor Bryan Cranston publicly endorsed Harris at a recent Democratic campaign rally in Phoenix, Arizona – joining the likes of Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Stevie Wonder, and Bruce Springsteen.

The Penguin: Batman’s Falcone actor criticises HBO spin-off show
The Penguin might be one of HBO’s biggest hit of the year – but an actor who appeared in The Batman isn’t a fan.
In the crime drama, an unrecognisable Colin Farrell reprises the role of Oz Cobb, which he originally played in Matt Reeves’s 2022 film The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson, Zoë Kravitz and Paul Dano.
It’s a new take on the comic book character played by Danny Devito in Tim Burton’s 1992 sequel Batman Returns.
The successful series, which was developed by Lauren LeFranc and produced by Reeves, is set two weeks after the end of The Batman, in which Cobb plays the Falcone and Maroni families off against each other in a power grab following the death of mob leader Carmine Falcone.
Carmine was played by John Turturro in The Batman, and the character shows up in flashback form in The Penguin – however, Turturro has been replaced by Mark Strong,
It was previously unknown why the character was recast, but Turturro has now said he turned down the chance to return in the spin-off series as “there was a lot of violence towards women, and that’s not my thing”.
Turturro told Variety he found it acceptable to play Carmine in The Batman as his violent actions “happen off-screen”, which he said is “scarier”.
The actor added: “I did what I wanted to with the role.”
Turturro also suggested his role in the second season of Severance, which starts in January, might be coming to an end.
Severance follows employees of a shady biotech company called Lumon that “severs” its employees’ memories using a medical procedure, dividing their work and home lives completely in a daring experiment to find a work-life balance.

While praising showrunner Ben Stiller, the actor said: “I didn’t like being in that office – the light there drove me insane. I did my second go round, but I feel like I’ve had a full meal.”
Severance is available on Apple TV+ while The Batman, which also stars Cristin Milioti, Michael Kelly, Clancy Brown and Rhenzy Feliz, is on NOW in the UK.

Hallmark ‘wanted to replace old talent’ like Lacey Chabert and Holly Robinson Peete, claims new lawsuit
AN age discrimination lawsuit has claimed that a Hallmark exec made a comment about casting “old talent.”
According to the lawsuit, Holly Robinson Peete and Lacey Chabert were given as examples.
Hallmark’s former casting director Penny Perry, 79, who worked with them for nearly a decade, filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court on the 9th of October.
She accused Hallmark executive VP of programming Lisa Hamilton Daly, Senior Vice President of Programming and Development Randy Pope and Vice President of Human Resources Paul Hodgkinson of age and disability discrimination, as well as wrongful termination, retaliation, defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
In a goal to find “new talent” Perry has alleged that Lisa Hamilton Daly decided she was “too old to work her position,” and “manoeuvred to push her out of the company.”
Perry, who has been a casting director on movies and television shows since the 1970s, alleges that she said: “We need to bring in someone who knows more young talent. Our leading ladies are aging out.”
Allegedly, Lisa Hamilton Daly specifically referred to Teri Hatcher, 59, Holly Robinson Peete, 60, and Chabert, 42, as “old talent” as well as several more.
She also allegedly said: “Lacey’s getting older and we have to find someone like her to replace her as she gets older,” and that “no one wants” Robinson Peete.
Adding: “She’s too expensive and getting too old. She can’t play leading roles anymore.”
In a statement to Variety and Deadline, Hallmark has denied the allegations.
The statement read: “Lacey and Holly have a home at Hallmark. We do not generally comment on pending litigation. And while we deny these outrageous allegations, we are not going to discuss an employment relationship in the media.
Perry claims she was abruptly fired in April after receiving strong annual performance evaluations.
She alleges that she was replaced with a younger man after being fired, after being told she was “too long in the tooth.”
Perry also alleges “vile and ageist conduct,” and says it’s “straight from Hallmark’s playbook when they sought to push out other employees in their 60’s and 70’s because of their age.”
