A Married at First Sight Australia participant has been left in tears following her husband’s “arrest” joke.

The popular dating programme has returned to E4 for its 13th series, introducing a new cohort of brides and grooms seeking romance.

The show follows singletons from around Australia as they entrust their romantic futures to experts Mel Schilling, John Aiken, and Alessandra Rampolla. Each couple meets for the first time at the altar, and after exchanging vows, they will determine whether they are genuinely compatible as they navigate their relationship.

Throughout several weeks, the newlyweds will go on their honeymoon, before living together and participating in numerous challenges.

Four ceremonies have taken place already, with considerable drama unfolding across the opening two episodes. The most recent episode aired on Wednesday (March 11), featuring two additional couples paired by the experts, reports OK!.

Bec and Danny were matched

The first duo included 35-year-old account manager Bec, who characterised herself as a social butterfly who’s never reluctant to be the centre of attention.

She had previously been engaged, but called it off four months prior to the ceremony, describing it as the most difficult decision she’s ever made, though she felt proud for leaving a situation that wasn’t suitable.

Bec was paired with Danny, a 34-year-old businessman who relocated to Australia from the UK 12 years ago. Danny was seeking his “ride or die” partner, a resilient woman who ignites his passion and keeps him laughing.

Upon meeting at the altar, Bec and Danny appeared pleased with their pairing, with Bec even exchanging a joke with Danny’s best man, Will, who works as a stripper. However, the atmosphere quickly turned awkward as Danny delivered his vows.

Danny started by expressing his devotion to his family and promised Bec he would care for her. He then quipped: “I’m looking for a Bonnie and Clyde type of love. With that being said, if I ever get locked up in prison, I’d like you to bail me out.”

A woman in a wedding gown and veil is standing outside, her face partially obscured by her hand, appearing to wipe away a tear. She is positioned in front of a building with brick walls and large windows, suggesting the setting might be a wedding venue.

Bec immediately reacted negatively to Danny’s comment, confiding to cameras: “He seems like a really lovely guy, but I’m a just bit nervous to be honest with you. I think he may have mentioned in his vows if he gets arrested and what not. I know I can be quite wild and fun, but I really want to settle down and it makes me worried.

“I want to be matched with someone that’s serious about being with their forever person, not someone that’s out getting hammered, acting a fool to the point of getting arrested. I’ve given up everything and you’re mentioning getting arrested in your vows. I wanted to come on here to find love and I don’t know whether or not he wants that.”

Bec then became visibly upset, stating: “I just want something serious. I don’t want to be with anyone that gets arrested.”

She later confided in a producer: “I can just feel it, it’s not going to work. He’s not my husband, no way.” After seeing a different side to Danny during the reception, Bec later apologised to her new husband, with the couple sharing a passionate kiss.

Married at First Sight Australia airs Monday to Thursday on E4 at 7.30pm
