Married at First Sight UK returned on Wednesday night as the first four couples enjoyed their honeymoons in some exotic locations after getting married and meeting at the altar for the first time as sparks were flying for some of the newlyweds.But for one couple in particular it was a honeymoon from hell, as trans bride Ella and her partner Nathanial went from having an "instant connection" on their wedding day to butting heads as they attempted to enjoy their break in Mexico.Ella, 29, previously admitted she needs a lot of reassurance from a partner and her worst fear when dating is rejection as she opened up before her vows on men "keeping her a dirty little secret" due to her transition.But her need for attention from the 36-year-old marketing manager soon started to put her new groom "off" as he said she was "playing up for the cameras" which resulted in an explosive argument between the pair."I feel like Nathanial has touched a nerve with me, there's no intimacy and he's making me feel friend-zoned.

"Nathanial f*** off, you're a showman.
