MARRIED At First Sight's Shona Manderson has hit back at trolls who branded her promise ring as "pointless".
On this week's MAFS reunion episode, fans were treated to plenty of drama and awkward moments - which included Matt Pilmoor "proposing" to Shona.
Fans were left cringing after Matt gave a heartfelt speech to Shona during the dinner party.
After he professed his undying love he the produced a ring - much to THE shock of his fellow MAFS stars.
He said: "I can't thank you enough. Shona, I want to show you how committed I am with this ring."
Matt added: "So please take this as a vow that one day in the near future, you will be my wife and the most gorgeous mother of my children."
The reality TV groom then opened the ring box and said: "It's a promise ring."
Some fans found this moment awkward, with comments like: "A f****g 'promise ring'?? Grow up you f****g Neanderthal."
Another said: "That proposal with a promise ring was so pointless!"
"All that for a promise ring" added this fan.
HITTING BACK
But Shona has hit back at the trolls and defended her promise ring.
Taking to Instagram, she shared a video and said: "Thank you for the lovely comments you’re all so supportive we appreciate you!
"The low vibes we will ignore nobody can tell me it’s pointless & I’m not semi-engaged!
"Celebrate every milestone life is for living we must enjoy the magical moments."
Continuing, Shona said: "Matty and I are so happy where we are in our relationship and we’re in no rush.
"Promise rings are so cute.
"I would love to know who else has a promise ring and the cute story behind it! Let me know in the comments."
MEETING ON MAFS
Shona and Matt have been going strong for over a year since their series of the E4 show in 2023 - even though they weren't paired together.
Shona left the show because of her unhealthy relationship with Brad Skelly – whose behaviour was deemed controlling and manipulative by charity Women’s Aid.
But she found love afterwards with another star on the show - window cleaner Matt – who originally 'married' Adrienne Naylor.
In this week's reunion, Shona revealed the secret to her happy relationship with Matt was that the couple have never raised their voice at each other.
MAFS The Reunion is available to stream on Channel 4.
