A MARRIED At First Sight bride was left shocked as a groom sparked a 'race' row after a show challenge.
This week fans have watched as the MAFS couples moved in together, putting their relationships to the ultimate test.
During an episode Jake and Ashleigh were tasked with ranking their fellow brides and grooms based on appearance.
But Jake left Ashleigh shocked when he revealed he dates only Caucasian women.
He told her: "Not gonna sound like... I'm not racist or nothing but I do like Caucasian people mainly, mostly."
Speaking afterwards on camera, Ashleigh said: "Hell no, I'm pretty shocked at Jake's words, to be honest.
"Like 'I'm not racist but I normally date Caucasian looking girls' do you think it's ok to verbalise that?"
She added: "How dare you say these unhinged things about these gorgeous women.
"Just like, just how he kind of delivered it with each girl. Like it can be honest without being hurtful, nasty.
"I thought it was a bit nasty."
Fans flooded social media with comments, with one writing: "This man has been rejected a lot in his life."
A second said: "What is this OGRE of a man on about? All of the girls are a beaut!"
"Is that rasist? Honestly, I dont think it is, it is just a preference," said a third viewer.
While a fourth commented: "Is she trying to get air time because they may be a little dull?"
Married at First Sight continues on E4.
