ONE of Married At First Sight's most popular contestants has called out the reality series after being snubbed from the reunion episode.
The explosive follow-up, which aired on E4 last night, saw a slew of cast members from across the years team up for one very rowdy dinner.
The Married At First Sight alum braving the reunion included Adam Nightingale, Amy Kenyon, Holly Ditchfield, Lacey Martin, Nathan Campbell, Kieran Chapman and Kristina Goodsell.
They were joined by other series nine contestants Hannah Norburn, Orson Nurse, Sacha Jones and Sionnain Carmichael.
In addition, a number of 2023 stars were also in attendance, with the likes of Ella Morgan, Erica Roberts, Tasha Jay, Paul Liba, Matt Pilmoor and Shona Manderson.
Lacey Martin came in for the harshest criticism after her ex partner Nathan Campbell claimed she wanted a "showmance".
Meanwhile, Hannah Norburn was the first to break down in tears as her arch enemy Holly Ditchfield walked through the door while Erica shared the news that she had kissed Kieran in Edinburgh.
In a more romantic moment, Matt surprised Shona with a "promise ring".
There were some notable absences and, despite the bulk of the attendees coming from the 2024 season, Emma Barnes missed out.
The Bristol lass swiftly became a fan-favourite last year as her rollercoaster relationship with Caspar played out.
Yet after being snubbed of a reunion invite, she took to Instagram to post a signature witty video.
It saw the TV show play out on a screen behind her with a cut out of Emma's head.
It said in a cartoon voice: "I am having a party in there its gonna be brilliant."
Mimicking another separate voice she said: "Do you want to come," as the first voice said: "Maybe."
The first voice then said: "You can't cause you're NFI," before it explained: "Not flipping invited."
Emma posted the scenes with the caption: "Heheh xx"
Gardener Caspar did go on to find love since leaving the show.
On social media he wrote: "Who knew that 2024 would find me the love of my life?
"So happy to have you in my life and moving in to live with me next month. Happy New Year, 2025 is looking amazing."
Emma previously told Yahoo of her reunion omission and said: "They didn't need me anymore. I still don't know why I was cut.
"There were some storylines that they wanted to follow, the producers, and yeah, someone must have taken my seat, right, so someone got called up to get back on there. But yeah, not me!"
She added: "There was certainly an uproar from a lot of my friends that I wasn't gonna be there — I don't know whether that's just my friends though!
"I know I'm a big personality and I definitely could have brought some laughs to the table... It's a shame."
NOT INVOLVED
As well as Emma, Polly, Luke and Ross from last year's show also missed out.
Yet after the new show, fans were quick to slam show bosses for bringing series eight stars back for yet another reunion.
Yet Emma might not have missed out too much - as one star revealed the boozy scenes took three days to film.
