MAFS UK fans slam ‘evil producers’ as they claim they ‘set up awkward wedding moment’ with bride’s sister

MARRIED At First Sight viewers have blasted the show's producers for 'setting up' a drastically awkward scene between one groom and the bride's sister.

Fans of the E4 reality series were left cringing at the programme when one groom made an epic error on the show.

24-year-old Nathan was left looking a little embarrassed when he wrongly identified his bride at the altar.

In an incredibly cringe-worthy mishap, Nathan believed that his bride Lacey's twin sister Paige was the one he was actually marrying.

Having stood with his back to the altar, the groom turned around and was left gushing over stunning Paige as she strutted down the aisle in a hot pink dress.

When she glided up the aisle in a plunging pink dress Nathan turned around, and let out a huge gasp and a "wow", believing that Paige was his bride.

As she took her seat in the venue, Nathan quickly realised that it was not Paige that he was due to marry.

But fans have hit out at show-makers and claim that the scene was clearly pre-planned given that Paige strutted into the venue when everyone else was already sat down.

Usually, the groom turns around to view his bride when everyone else is already in position but as Paige entered seemingly late, he turned around to glance at her instead.

Writing online about the scene, one viewer said: "Love a bit of over-produced drama for the sake of it."

Another added: "Why did they do that to him?"

A third fumed: ";Complete set up having the sister walk in when everyone else is already seated."

Before a fourth went on to say: "Evil production blatantly sent the sister down the aisle early to fool him."

As a firth went on to write: "It's a bit like bullseye with the sister...'here's what you could have won'."

The 24-year-old was paired with Lacey, 27, on the marriage experiment show and they had a memorable day, but for all the wrong reasons.

It led fans to claim that their pairing and subsequent wedding was a "disaster" as more embarrassing moments continued to flood the show.

When Lacey eventually made it down the aisle, he looked disappointed, and could only muster up the compliment "you look nice".

Rubbing salt into the wound, he then forgot Lacey's name while saying their vows.

A tearful Lacey told the cameras that she wanted to feel "good enough".

At the reception, Lacey's mum cornered Nathan, and said: "We have to address the elephant in the room. Nathan, what bride wears hot pink?"

Lacey also pulled him to one side at the end of the night to check that he hadn't fancied her sister more.

He told her that he "froze" and added: "It wobbled me, it threw me a little bit.

"Maybe I've got a little bit of a barrier up. I've had one long term partner, she left and I went into a downward place."

She replied: "That's good to know, if you've got my back I've always got yours."
