A newly married couple got off to a rocky start on the Channel 4 programmeLeigh and Leah tied the knot on Married at First Sight(Image: Channel 4)<\/p>\n

Married at First Sight UK fans said they\u2019d \u2018be fuming too\u2019 after being left stunned by a bride\u2019s wedding day request.<\/p>\n

The couples on the Channel 4 programme<\/a> haven\u2019t had the best of starts following the launch of its 10th series.<\/p>\n

Sarah and Dean\u2019s <\/a>wedding day featured an awkward moment where the former was left unimpressed by his rapping just moments after tying the knot.<\/p>\n

Another couple not faring well is Grace and Ashley, with the latter threatening to walk out of their wedding due to him cracking jokes at the altar.<\/p>\n

Tuesday night\u2019s (September 23) edition of the programme <\/a>saw a new couple walking down the aisle without meeting one another.<\/p>\n

Leah, a 35-year-old business owner from Liverpool, was paired with Leigh, a 30-year-old from Romford, by the show’s dating experts.<\/p>\n

Seeing Leigh walking down the aisle, Leah appeared delighted and noted her match was \u2018definitely a bit of her\u2019.<\/p>\n

Sadly, Leigh revealed to the cameras that she didn\u2019t feel the same way, saying: \u201cShe’s absolutely stunning, but I’m not sure if she does have a masculine side, so am I going to fancy her? And in this moment I don’t feel like I do, s***…<\/p>\n

\u201cLeah does come across really feminine so I wanna get to know if she does have a masculine side to find that physical attraction, but I’m worried that that won’t come.”<\/p>\n

One awkward moment during the ceremony arrived when Leah was given a rose quartz, which she referred to as a \u2018stone\u2019 to an unimpressed Leigh.<\/p>\n

Things got even more awkward when the wedding officiant said they could kiss, which led Leigh to offer her cheek and Leah to question if she \u2018fancies\u2019 her.<\/p>\n

After the ceremony, Leigh snapped at the photographer when he asked if they wanted to have a kiss for the photo, pointing out she was already asked that during the ceremony.<\/p>\n

Having already brought up to Leah that she thinks it’s important for them to spend time on their own, Leigh later asked if they could spend their wedding night apart.<\/p>\n

Wheeling her bag out of their room, Leah said: “I respect her boundaries, but I think if it continued throughout the process I’d be like, ‘Right I’m gone’.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those watching the episode at home rushed to X, previously known as Twitter<\/a>, to have their say on Leigh asking to spend the wedding night in separate rooms.<\/p>\n

@emilyroseon said: \u201cFirst night after their wedding and Leigh kicks Leah out of the door and into another room and has the audacity to ask if she wants help with her suitcase!!!!! #MAFSUK.\u201d @vamplacey added: \u201cWhy is Leigh kicking Leah out of the honeymoon suite?
