Controversy

Groom Andrew Jones shocked viewers when during a "boy's night" he made sexist and mocking comments about wife Cheryl Maitland's appearance and intelligence. During the Reunion, Andrew failed to apologise for his actions, insisting that his behaviour was acceptable.[8] Fellow Groom Anthony Manton was accused of bullying wife Nadia Stamp, with viewers labelling him as "arrogant" and "controlling" after he complained about a lack of intimacy in their relationship.[9]
