TONIGHT’S episode of Married At First Sight Australia saw one bride burst into tears after her new husband’s “banter” went terribly wrong.
Series 13 of the show premiered on E4 this week and viewers have already seen Steven Danyluk and Rachel Gilmore tie the knot with one another.
In Thursday’s instalment, the new couple went on their first date as they enjoyed wine at a vineyard.
However, as they tried to get to know one another, things suddenly went from bad to worse for the pair.
He asked her what she likes to do for fun in her spare time and she told him she enjoys going to watch the football.
She expressed: “So growing up, my dad supported Collinwood, so we would always go to Melbourne as a family and watch it and I love it.

“There’s something about being a part of a group of people who are all passionately cheering on a game. It gets me really excited.”
He responded: “Don’t take this the wrong way, it’s not something I see in females that often, especially football.
“So see how you’re being all ladylike now, and I’ll say it out loud,” before shouting like a hooligan to imitate football spectators.
“Do you turn into that?,” Steven asked as she set him straight and said: “That’s not what I’m like and I don’t want you to paint a picture of me.
“I’m sitting here telling you that’s not what I’m like so please accept that, I’m telling you how I am.”
As she began to get tearful, Steven said: “I’m sorry you feel that way but it is just bantering.
“I was having fun with you, we’re having wine and I said, ‘I can see you out there’, I was expecting you to be like, ‘I’m not like that, you’ve gotta come to a game with me Steve, you’ll see what I’m like’.”
Rachel continued: “I’m telling you I’m not like that, that’s why I brought it up because it’s hurting my feelings.”
As she began crying and wiping away tears, he attempting to make things better.
Steven expressed: “The way I feel now is horrible, I’m a dork, I’m out there, I’m wild, I like to have a laugh, I like to joke.
“But even now I’ve learnt that if you don’t like that sort of bantering, flirty,” as she interjected: “It doesn’t feel like banter or flirtiness, it feels like you’re putting me down.”
After going back and forth, eventually Rachel stormed off as Steven walked in the other direction.
“It’s just hurtful,” she said directly to the cameras as she cried uncontrollably.
This isn’t the first time the pair have clashed since getting hitched.
Shortly after the wedding, Rachel told the cameras she was disappointed that her new husband hadn’t complimented her on her bridal look.
She later shared her frustrations with him as he apologised for the oversight and told how beautiful she looked in her dress.
