MAFS UK Premiere Draws Backlash as Honeymoon Tensions Rise and Davide–Keye Win Support

Viewers’ reactions sharpened after the Maldives episode, with social media shaping the early narrative of the new series.

Overview

  • Monday’s episode followed Sarah and Dean on their Maldives trip, where she challenged his habit of breaking into song and viewers urged him to stop.
  • Sarah previously told Dean she had never dated anyone as “big” as him, prompting online accusations of fat‑shaming and leaving him saying the remark made him feel empty.
  • Responding to criticism, Sarah posted a pointed Instagram Story directed at “trolls,” while Dean thanked audiences for messages of support.
  • Davide and Keye emerged as early favourites, and Keye’s Instagram reflection on carrying the memory of his late brother into the ceremony drew widespread encouragement.
  • The series continues to introduce new couples, with a preview showing a bride walking off in tears, and producers reiterating that the celebrant‑led ceremonies are not legally binding and are funded by the show.
