MAFS star Polly branded 'embarrassment' by groom in explosive rant on 'double standards'

Controversial star Alex Henry seemingly branded his co-star a 'national embarrassment' in an online rant.

Polly was matched with Adam Nightingale in this series of the E4 programme, with the two struggling with intimacy in their relationship. They slept with each other when they first got married but didn't try again in the weeks after due to Adam's lack of attraction to her.

He even told her that he usually went for petite women with brunette hair. Meanwhile, Polly has been sharing her concerns to the experts about their lack of intimacy after weeks in the experiment. Fellow co-star Alex, since joining the series, seemingly hit out at Polly in a post shared on social media.

Alex wrote on his Stories: "Imagine going on national TV and practically begging a man to sleep with you for weeks. Embarrasment to yourself and your family. Have some class and self worth and just leave." He went on to rant about double standards and said: "If the man was to do that, and the experts were making tasks that are trying to get you to be attracted to him and sleep with him.

"What would everybody say about said man? What would he be labelled as? But the woman doesn't get labelled as anything. Lol. Society for you. The words desperate and beg on toast come to mind." Meanwhile, viewers have pleaded with producers for Alex to be removed as they slammed his behaviour with wife Holly Ditchfield.

He's been a divisive character over the weeks so it wasn't a surprise when fans asked him how he's feeling when he took part in a Q&A session on .

The user asked how he's been feeling mentally with 'all the backlash and allegations'. He said: "If you think the internet affects my real life ur mad. Half these people don't even like themselves that's why they got so much time to talk about me. I'm in real life having a ball. I'm getting mad love out here!! People stop me for pictures everywhere."

During the commitment ceremony, he claimed she only 'acted up' in front of cameras but the recent episode saw her admit she was "intimidated" by him and his facial expressions. Alex claimed he "can't help" his facial expressions but Mel Schilling stopped him to say: "You can help your facial expression, that's behaviour."
