In a recent episode teaser for Married at First Sight UK, contestant Kieran, a 28-year-old mechanic, decided to play a controversial prank on his bride, Kristina, at their first meeting at the altar. As Kristina walked down the aisle, Kieran wore a set of fake, exaggerated buck teeth, hoping to test her sense of humor. However, the prank did not go over well, as Kristina was visibly shocked and unimpressed by Kieran’s attempt to lighten the mood. Her reaction, captured in a voiceover, was blunt as she questioned, “These teeth. What the f**k?”
Kieran explained to the show’s producers that he was nervous about the prank but wanted to see if Kristina could be playful and share a laugh. His intention was to gauge if she was “fun” and could match his sense of humor. Despite his explanation, the prank sparked a backlash on social media, with many viewers criticizing the joke as being inappropriate for a first meeting and not taking the marriage seriously.
Social media reactions were divided; some viewers found Kieran’s joke in poor taste and labeled it as “nasty” and “immature.” Others, however, thought it added an element of drama and entertainment to the show, calling it “the perfect amount of drama needed in reality TV.”
Married at First Sight UK continues to draw viewers with its dramatic twists and turns, and this latest prank has certainly stirred up conversation ahead of its upcoming season premiere on E4.
