Married at First Sight Australia star Steven Danyluk was left worried during his honeymoon

A Married at First Sight Australia star has been left “concerned” after spotting a problem just minutes into their honeymoon.

The 13th series of the popular reality programme returned to E4 this week, with a new batch of singletons joining the renowned matchmaking experiment in the hope of finding their soulmate.

The fresh hopefuls first encounter one another at the altar, where they exchange their vows during picturesque wedding ceremonies. They then take the plunge to discover their happily ever after as they embark on luxurious honeymoons, before moving in together.

Alongside managing a new relationship, the participants also attend dinner parties with other couples and reconvene at commitment ceremonies, where they reveal how they’re feeling about their marriage.

The second pairing arranged by the experts – Mel Schilling, John Aiken and Alessandra Rampolla – were Rachel Gilmore and Steven Danyluk, reports OK!.

35-year-old team leader Rachel hadn’t been in a serious relationship for 14 years, and had never been with a man who made her feel attractive. Marine technician Steven, aged 34, similarly found the dating scene challenging, and has struggled to find his ideal partner.

The duo appeared to connect after meeting at the altar, but Rachel soon identified a concern after her new husband failed to compliment her throughout the day. She later raised her concerns, with Steven promptly apologising and expressing just how attracted he was to his wife.

During Wednesday’s (March 11) episode, Rachel and Steven set off on their honeymoon to a luxury eco-glamping resort in Mudgee, New South Wales. However, Steven quickly spotted a problem after entering their shared accommodation.

“I’ve got a tummy ache, not feeling well. It’s a bit of a concern, it’s really bad timing,” he told the cameras.

After discovering that the toilet didn’t have a door, a worried Steven then said: “I am really concerned about this.”

He added: “The bathroom is not really private. It’s not so much the view, it’s the sound. We’re all human and we make sounds. Look, this early into the relationship, I don’t want Rachel hearing my bowel movements.”

It appears Steven managed to navigate the issue, as the pair were later spotted sharing a kiss whilst admiring the stunning Australian sunset.

Yet it seems the peace isn’t destined to last, as a preview for Thursday’s (March 12) episode shows the couple caught up in a massive row, with Rachel tearfully telling her husband: “You’re putting me down, it’s hurtful.” Will the newlyweds manage to resolve things?

A Married at First Sight Australia groom made an unexpected joke during his wedding vows

A Married at First Sight Australia star has been left in floods of tears after her groom’s “arrest” speech.

The popular dating programme has made its comeback to E4 for its 13th series, introducing a new batch of brides and grooms seeking romance.

The show tracks singletons from around Australia as they entrust their romantic futures to experts Mel Schilling, John Aiken, and Alessandra Rampolla. Each couple meets for the very first time at the altar, and following their “I do” moment, they’ll find out whether they’re genuinely compatible as they navigate their new relationship.

Over multiple weeks, the newly married couples will go on their honeymoon, before setting up home together and participating in numerous challenges.

Four ceremonies have taken place already, with lots of explosive moments unfolding in the opening two episodes. The most recent episode aired on Wednesday (March 11), with two more couples getting matched by the experts, reports OK!.

The first pair consisted of 35-year-old account manager Bec, who characterised herself as a social butterfly who’s never afraid of commanding attention.

She had previously been engaged, but called it off four months ahead of the ceremony, describing it as the most difficult decision she’d ever made, though she felt proud for leaving a situation that wasn’t suitable.

Bec was paired with 34-year-old businessman Danny, who has called Australia home for 12 years since relocating from the UK. Danny was searching for his “ride or die” partner, a strong woman who ignites passion within him and never fails to make him laugh.

Upon meeting at the altar, Bec and Danny appeared pleased with their pairing, with Bec even sharing a joke with Danny’s stripper best man, Will. However, the atmosphere quickly shifted as Danny began his vows.

Danny started by expressing his devotion to his family and promised Bec he would care for her. He then quipped: “I’m looking for a Bonnie and Clyde type of love. With that being said, if I ever get locked up in prison, I’d like you to bail me out.”

Bec immediately pulled back after hearing Danny’s remark, telling cameras: “He seems like a really lovely guy, but I’m a just bit nervous to be honest with you. I think he may have mentioned in his vows if he gets arrested and what not. I know I can be quite wild and fun, but I really want to settle down and it makes me worried.

“I want to be matched with someone that’s serious about being with their forever person, not someone that’s out getting hammered, acting a fool to the point of getting arrested. I’ve given up everything and you’re mentioning getting arrested in your vows. I wanted to come on here to find love and I don’t know whether or not he wants that.”

Bec then broke down in tears, adding: “I just want something serious. I don’t want to be with anyone that gets arrested.”

She later confided in a producer: “I can just feel it, it’s not going to work. He’s not my husband, no way.” After seeing a different side to Danny during the reception, Bec later apologised to her new husband, with the couple sharing a passionate kiss.

A one-off reunion episode brought back a number of stars from the tenth series months after the E4 show ended

The stars of Married At First Sight UK’s tenth season reunited for one final time in an explosive reunion episode that aired this evening (March 1).

The dramatic season concluded back in November last year, and while a number of couples made it to their final vows on the show, nearly all of them separated after filming ended. Just one couple from the series are still together, Abigail Lindsay and John Shepherd.

There was no shortage of tears and clashes as the cast got back together, and there was even an unexpected new feud. So what were the biggest revelations that came during the episode?

Bailey had a fling with April’s best friend

April and Rebecca were frosty with each other from the start following the revelation that Rebecca’s ex, Bailey, slept with April’s best friend at a music festival.

Rebecca claimed April had broken ‘girl code’ by not informing her about what had happened straight away. After April pulled Rebecca for a chat to attempt to smooth things over, the conversation took a sour turn.

April was left in tears after Rebecca told her: “I don’t dislike you, I would just never associate with someone like you,” elaborating: “I’m treating you like the opposite of a girls’ girl, which is what you are.”

Bailey ended things with Rebecca

Fans had long questioned who had ended things with who when news of Bailey and Rebecca’s split was made public. The pair had been loved-up on the show and were even planning a huge move to be together permanently, with Rebecca planning to uproot her life in Liverpool to join Bailey and his daughter down south.

Rebecca revealed that she was on the verge of moving when Bailey ended things with her following a tense holiday to Dublin. She admitted she had been actively in conversation with an aesthetics clinic as she prepared to move her business.

Bailey recalled he had tried to split up with her twice before they finally parted. He said: “I couldn’t breathe without her telling me off for doing something.” He claimed it felt like “she was sabotaging the relationship.”

Rebecca was texting her ex

Bailey reluctantly revealed at the dinner table a private conversation that he had with Rebecca in the car ride home following their final vows on the show which he felt caused him to change afterwards.

He told the group: “Why did I change? I changed because after final vows I feel like you lied to me because of what you told me in the car on the way home.”

He continued: “You said ‘I’m so sorry I’ve got to tell you something. During the show, I was messaging my ex’ – and you didn’t tell me until after final vows.” Rebecca insisted the messages were never flirty, and that her ex simply didn’t know she was on the show.

Maeve and Julia-Ruth are civil

Maeve and Julia-Ruth had one of the fiercest feuds on their season, especially after Julia-Ruth got a matching tattoo with Maeve’s ex. Despite their past, the pair were smiling and laughing together as they met at the reunion.

Both decided to bury the hatchet and found common ground in navigating life in the public eye.

Dean is dating again

Viewers were delighted to see Dean giving up on his unrequited love for Sarah and moving forward with his dating life. He shared that he had been on a couple of dates since the series wrapped, and he still shares a solid friendship with his former flame.

He even had the support of Sarah who danced as he delivered a signature rap at the dinner table, despite her previously considering his rapping an ‘ick’ when they first met.
