Married at First Sight UK star Erica Roberts has just made her first appearance on the E4 dating show, marrying a stranger as well as finally meeting her fellow brides and grooms. However, recent reports suggest that her time on the show might not have been all sunshine and roses.
Erica, originally from Edinburgh, is a dance teacher who was matched with Jordan, a personal trainer based in Sheffield. The couple's wedding was featured in a recent episode, along with fellow newcomers Bianca and JJ.
As is customary in the series, new participants enter the show, and the original couples have the opportunity to meet them at a dinner party.
Erica candidly discussed her experience of meeting the other contestants, revealing that she encountered a "bit of hostility."
She spoke with RadioTimes.com, admitting that some of her fellow brides exuded "mean girl energy."
Recalling the initial meeting, Erica said: "Me and Bianca came in on the same day, but we definitely didn't receive the same welcoming. The group seemed a bit taken aback, and there was a hint of territoriality regarding their space and the men. You know how girls can be when new girls enter the scene."
Erica went on to describe the presence of a "bit of mean girl energy" during the dinner party when she and Bianca arrived with their husbands.
"When I got in there, I thought, 'Oh, God.' You can literally feel the energy; it's so strange," she remarked.
The dance teacher also shared that some of her fellow cast members displayed different personalities off-camera. She recalled being cautioned about potentially becoming a "side character" by one of her co-stars.
Erica further elaborated, stating: "There are some people who are different off-camera, and actually, when watching it back, I think, 'You're so full of s**t.' It's so strange."
Meanwhile, on Thursday's show, MAFS fans were left less than impressed by newcomer JJ's underwhelming reaction to his new wife, Bianca.
During the wedding dinner, he told his friends that he 'wouldn't turn his head' if he spotted her in a nightclub.
To make matters worse, when he and Bianca took a moment to sit outside, he failed to return the compliment when she said he was attractive.
He then told her that his ex-girlfriend, who he lived with before she cheated on him, is a model – leaving Bianca looking a little taken aback.
But fans were not happy with JJ's revelation and his attitude, as many said that JJ was 'punching' with Bianca.
"JJ you’re punching when it comes to Bianca, I suggest you watch your mouth #MAFSUK," wrote one fan.
Another tweeted: "#MAFSUK JJ you complete A**E, have you looked in the mirror cause you are the one punching. Say you dated a Victoria Secret model, you need to wake up from your dream."
