Married At First Sight UK viewers were left cringing last night (September 2), as Franky delivered an awkward speech to wife Marilyse.
The couple appeared to hit it off after meeting for the first time on their wedding day on the E4 show.
However, viewers weren’t as convinced during their reception ceremony.

Before getting married, Marilyse said: “I would love to go through to the experiment to the very end and still be with the guy.
“That is what I want to happen and what I expect to happen. I will be a bit disappointed if it doesn’t happen, but we’ll have to wait and see.”
Thankfully, the mum-of-two appeared thrilled as she met Franky at the alter.
But during their reception, the ex-soldier went on to give an awkward speech.
He began by saying it last time he was going to be able to speak without being interrupted by his wife.
Franky then joked: “I’ll thank you in advance that you’re going to get up on our honeymoon and make me breakfast.
