Married at First Sight fans were left in disbelief as groom Adam Aveling did not offer a single compliment to his bride Polly Sellman when they met at the altar for the first time.

In the latest instalment of the E4 series on Thursday (September 19), viewers saw Adam, 33, eagerly anticipating his wedding day. Yet, despite the beauty of his bride Polly, 28, he offered no words of flattery upon meeting her.

Despite her own nervousness, careers advisor Polly didn't hold back in her praise for Adam, describing the barber as "very attractive" with a "beefy" build and a "nice haircut" before confessing: "I do fancy him," Unfortunately for Polly, the admiration wasn't reciprocated.

Adam later confessed to the camera: "The initial attraction's not 100 percent there. She's not my usual type. 10 out of 10 for me would be petite, brunette, dark features, tan. She's not what I expected."

Polly's best mate Alfie was quick to pick up on the lack of compliments from Adam and took him aside for a chat, reports OK!.

Nevertheless, Adam brushed off Alfie's concerns and acknowledged that although Polly might not fit his typical preferences, he appreciated her "bubbly personality".

Audiences didn't miss the tension and raced to social media to share their dismay at Adam's less-than-chivalrous behaviour, with comments such as "Alfie clocked Adam from the get-go" echoing throughout the viewers' community.

A second viewer tweeted their frustration, saying: "More I see Adam, more I get annoyed ngl tbh. #MAFS #mafsuk", and a third added their voice: "Adam can't say a single nice thing about Polly #mafsuk."

Another viewer was sceptical of Adam's compliments, commenting: "The first thing you noticed about her was her BUBBLY PERSONALITY give me a break Adam #mafsuk".

Meanwhile, another fan expressed disappointment in the pairing: "Nah not liking this match at all. Adam. #MAFSUK."

Married At First Sight returns to E4 tomorrow night at 9pm.
