Married At First Sight UK's Emma breaks down in tears as her husband Caspar makes another jibe about her figure while meeting her friends

As a dedicated follower of reality TV shows, I’ve seen it all – from love at first sight to heartbreak in the blink of an eye. But this latest turn of events on Married At First Sight UK has left me shaking my head in disbelief.


As a lifestyle guide, I find myself deeply empathizing with Emma Barnes of Married at First Sight UK, who once more found herself shedding tears on a Tuesday, this time due to Caspar Todd’s seemingly insensitive comments regarding her physique. The delicate dance of a new relationship can be challenging, and it’s crucial to approach one another with sensitivity and understanding.

Earlier, the gardener, aged 34, acknowledged that he didn’t experience a romantic attraction towards Emma, who was 31 at the time, when she donned a bikini during their honeymoon in Jamaica for the first time. He expressed his preference for a smaller-framed woman instead of a more voluptuous size 14 figure.

In a sneak peek for the upcoming “In-Laws Week” episode, prior to its broadcast, Caspar can be heard echoing remarks he made earlier.

Speaking with Emma’s best friends he says: ‘I’ve never fancied curvier women.’

‘Oh no, no, no, no,’ Emma’s pal exclaimed in response.

Her words were not well-phrased, and it seemed unfair for you to make such a statement,” she gently expressed, holding back tears that soon trickled down her cheeks.

Her friend commented, “I don’t think that was particularly kind,” then went on to tell Emma, “At this moment, I believe he’s not the right match for you.

Caspar previously accused the E4 show of ‘f***ing with his life’ by pairing him with bride Emma. 

While on their honeymoon, he confided in Emma, “I haven’t experienced the passion I’d anticipated… I usually prefer women with more curves,” followed by a response of “No” when she questioned, “Do you find me attractive?

Apart from admitting his feelings towards Emma, Caspar mentioned that he found her reminiscent of his twin sister, Daisy, in terms of character and behavior, which ultimately left him uninterested.

However, he’s now pointed the finger at E4 producers, claiming they arranged his failure, emphasizing that he and Emma have numerous differences.

During their initial commitment ceremony, Caspar vocalized his annoyance about being paired up with Emma when speaking to the show’s dating advisors.

He expressed: ‘On our wedding day, Emma confided in me that I was her type, but I wasn’t attracted to her. I haven’t found her appealing, and I’ve noticed similar behaviors with my sister. I attempted to express this tactfully, but I fell short. If telling a white lie would have spared feelings, perhaps it would have been a better choice?’

As a lifestyle guide, let me share my thoughts: “I find myself at a loss, puzzled over how our paths crossed, given the vast differences between us. It leaves me baffled, bewildered, and it’s incredibly frustrating because this journey you’re guiding me through is my life.

He was quizzed by Charlene Douglas, Mel Schilling and Paul Brunson over his cruel behaviour and the dating gurus questioned whether Casper was truly concerned with hurting Emma’s feelings. 

Charlene asked: ‘But can you see how hurtful it might be say to your partner that I’m not into curvy girls, can you hear how that could land?’ as Casper admitted: ‘Yes, obviously, yeah.’ 

During their honeymoon, Emma gently advised Caspar, who had been bluntly honest to a fault, to examine his motivations for joining the dating experiment and reconsider his criticism of her looks.
