Tuesday's episode of Married at First Sight UK was full of dramatic moments, in particular between Shona and Brad.
The couple, who wed at the beginning of the E4 reality series, were at the dinner party with the other couples when Brad made a speech about his feelings for his new wife before things took a turn which prompted him to tell his wife to "shut up."
Fans have had plenty of thoughts on social media about the pairing but are also curious to know more about Shona away from the show. Find out all you need to know…

Ahead of her wedding episode airing last month, she shared a photo of her filming on her Instagram with the caption: "As ready as I can be for tomorrow eeeek." Later, she posted photos from their big day, writing in the caption: "Newlyweds," along with some wedding-themed emojis.
She also wrote on social media: "So today is the day. You know what's mental & a little nerve-wracking is that when it goes live at 9 pm tonight that's the first time we as cast members see it too! I have no idea about the edit, but what I do know is that I applied for MAFS with pure intentions, I wore my heart on my sleeve & really tried to give my all to the process & my partner."
