Married At First Sight groom Danny Hewitt has apologised after footage emerged of him slamming the show’s experts for pairing him with Bec Zacharia.

The British real estate agent has been absent from social media since Stan’s After The Dinner Party posted the clip of the 34-year-old saying he could have found a better wife at Coles.

He also said Bec’s behaviour on the show would have been acceptable if she was a 15 out of 10, but he said she was not that attractive.

Unsurprisingly, the comments shocked Bec and she was left in tears after seeing it.

Danny has now commented on the “horrendous” remarks.

“I am sure most of you hate me, I don’t blame you,” he said in a TikTok video.

“I hate myself so join the club. I wanted to jump on here and apologise for some of the comments, or all of the comments, I made on the Stan’After The Dinner Party show.

“I am so ashamed of myself.”

He specifically apologised for the way he spoke to and about Bec and fellow bride Stephanie Marshall, who was married to Tyson Gordon on the show.

However, Danny added that he had a “dry sense of humour” and it can “come across wrong” to people who don’t know him.

“But I’m not here to make excuses or blame it on a sense of humour or anything like that. I’m here to own up to my mistakes and apologise,” he said.

“I’ve probably got a lot of soul searching to do.”

He added that no matter what people say to him or about him, he is thinking worse of himself at the moment.

Yahoo Lifestyle has reached out to Danny for comment.

What is Danny apologising for?

The controversial comments were aired on Stan’s After The Dinner Party right after the final episode on Monday night.

Before the footage played, host Laura Byrne told Bec it was going to be an “incredibly hard” watch.

“You’re telling me that’s the best you’ve got? You ought to be ashamed of yourself MAFS,” Danny said to the camera.

“I gave up my life to be here and I could roll in Coles right now and walk up to aisle four and there’s a bird in there and she’d be better than Bec.

“It can’t be worse. It’s impossible.”

Danny then said the Channel 9 staff were “s**t” at their jobs and demanded they “bring him better women”.

Bec had a visceral reaction on the couch, with fellow bride Rachel Gilmore comforting her.

“I don’t want to cry,” she said.

Laura said that when she and fellow hosts Brittany Hockley and Jules Lund saw the clip for the first time, they were “actually horrified”.

“All of it was revolting,” Laura said.

It left Bec wondering whether Danny had other motivations for coming on the Channel 9 rather than for love.

“He’s come on for fame,” she said. “If that’s how you feel about me, why did you sit there for three months straight?”

She said as soon as those cameras left that interview, Danny told her he was falling in love with her.

“He said, ‘I’m falling in love with you, I’ve been telling the cameras this for a week now,'” she said.
