MARRIED at First sight’s ‘most hated’ bride Hannah Norburn has opened up about the stigma of being vilified on the E4 show.
In last night’s episode she clashed viciously with her co-star Holly who publicly accused her of flirting with Sionainn Carmichael's husband Ryan Livesey, after she’d made a shock return to the show.
Holly Ditchfield seemed to voice what the rest of the group were thinking when she said: “Look what the cats dragged in.”
But now Hannah has shared her side of the story on Instagram.
She said: “Holding my head high and my middle finger higher. Sometimes in life you’re presented with people who you just don’t click with - but as mature adults you always have two options in this scenario…
You can establish that you’ll never be friends, you can steer clear of them, let them do their own thing & show them respect & decency from a distance without letting anything they do bother you because let’s be honest they’re quite irrelevant to your life…OR…
…you can do the complete & utter opposite and you can go out of your way to try to make them feel as belittled, disrespected & embarrassed as you possibly can.”

The MAF bride admitted that she watching the episode back, she still feels traumatized by the experience .
She said: Rewatching this night back was just as hard as living it at the time. Even after leaving the experiment I still can’t enter a room without feeling so nervous, on edge, guarded & so scared of what I’m entering into with this group but here I am again (maybe more fool me) going into everything with optimism & a continued effort.”
Bride Hannah and groom Stephen Nolson were late arrivals to the MAFS UK process and it wasn't long before she was at loggerheads with the ladies.
After an epic bust up with contestant Polly Sellman, Hannah blames her telly husband for stirring up trouble on the show.

In an instragram live chat with Kane Brown recently she said: “I instantly cliked with some of the boys more than girls. The girls had their backs up from the very beginning.”
According to Hannah, husband Stephen, spread bad feeling about her among the fellow cast members.
She said:
"I then found out he went to the boys and said ‘you need to be very careful of Hannah, she’s dangerous, she’s here to play a game and she’ll f*** everybody over’.
"The boys didn’t know me so they’re going to believe the one person who knows me, I understand that.
In tonight's episode, after she and Stephen quit the show, Hannah made a shock return. But she's not welcomed back with open arms, and a spoiler the episode showed Holly Ditchfield saying: "Oh, look what the cat has dragged in."
Motormouth Holly then directly addressed the claims about Hannah the husband stealer by saying: "How many husbands have you run off with since leaving the experiment."
Holly then kept hammering the question: "How many are you linked with?" A visibly distressed Hannah then said: "Honey I am not going to be spoken to like sh**."
She finally answered "none' before Sinead jumped in and accused her of lying. She said: "you've been meeting up with Ryan."
A horrified silence fell upon the group, as Hannah looked noticeably guilty.
But then Hannah hits out at the group for failing to support her throughout the process.
She says: "You're all in a whatsapp group, you've all had the support from each other and I haven't." But then Holly delivered the blow by saying, "you've got zero girl code, youve got no respect for women. You'd rather get your pie filled than be friends with them."
