MAFS Australia expert delivers hard truth to groom in reunion: "I felt sick in the stomach"
Married at First Sight expert John Aiken slammed the actions of Paul Antoine across the series, saying the groom made him "sick in the stomach".
Tonight's episode of the reality show, the final instalment in the 12th season, saw the various cast members congregate for the reunion party, with each party in the experiment updating the experts on their journeys.
Paul was partnered with Carina Mirabile during the experiment, with Carina opting to split up during the final vows ceremony following a controversial relationship in which she said Paul had "thrown [her] under the bus" several times.
As the pair discussed their relationship with the experts, Paul was told off by Alessandra Rampolla as she said it would be "appreciated" if he didn't interrupt her, with the couple's film shortly being shown after.
After Carina noted that the clip "reaffirmed" her decision to separate, Paul was asked about his own feelings, sharing: "I know I've made a few mistakes along the way but Carina has - though not as much as I have - said and done certain things that have made me feel uncomfortable."

John promptly interrupted the groom, saying: "Paul, I've had enough. I'm going to tell you the way it is. You have to stop playing the victim. And look at me when I'm talking to you, because I won't have another chance to say this to you straight."
"You need to change. I have seen a guy who has consistently broken his partner's trust," he continued, referencing the various incidents - including Paul's violent outburst - which had "betrayed the trust" of his former partner.

"Are you hearing me? Any way you look at it, it's bad," added the expert. "I don't like to sit here and see you blaming the other person. Frankly, it made me [feel] sick in the stomach. This must be a wake-up call to you."
Paul, who also embarked on a date with another potential match during the experiment, reflected: "I've done some terrible things. As much as it's hard to hear, I need to go away and work on myself and improve."

French Open 2025: Carlos Alcaraz dominates Tommy Paul in straight sets in quarterfinal match
Carlos Alcaraz did not give Tommy Paul room to breathe as he cruised to victory at the French Open quarterfinals on Tuesday. The Spanish star dominated Paul, 6-0, 6-1, 6-5, to advance to the semifinals on Friday. The pair met at Philippe-Chatrier in a clash of the No. 2 and No. 12-seed contenders. In the end, Alcaraz proved too much for Paul, who has shown incredible resilience at Roland Garros this year. Advertisement Alcaraz came out guns blazing and established a dominant 5-0 lead in the opening set. The early onslaught foreshadowed what was to come as he flawlessly took the first frame, 6-0. Paul struck first in the second set after going scoreless in the first. However, it was short-lived as Alcaraz quickly turned the American's 1-0 lead into a 6-1 turnaround. When the time came to finish the job, Alcaraz did not take his foot off the pedal and stuck the nail in the coffin. Paul put up a great fight in the third but fell short of containing the well-composed Alcaraz. Just as in the second set, Paul opened the scoring and established a 2-1 lead before they went neck and neck. The pair went 4-4 before Alcaraz put the match to rest. This breaking news story will be updated.

Wicked 2 debuts first clip of iconic song in new teaser ahead of trailer release
Wicked fans have been treated to a first tease of iconic song 'For Good' in an exciting new teaser clip. The anticipated second movie instalment of the hit musical, starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, arrives in cinemas this November and audiences don't have long to wait to see the official trailer. Universal Pictures UK revealed that the trailer for Wicked: For Good will drop this Thursday (5 June), sharing a new clip to tease the trailer release. The clip itself saw the Wicked cast appear in character to the tune of the film's namesake title - and one of the musical's beloved songs - 'For Good'. The song plays as a piano instrumental version, with Erivo and Grande's voices heard together for the famous lyric: "I have been changed." Erivo is the first to appear as Elphaba in the clip, followed by Jonathan Bailey's Fiyero, Michelle Yeoh's Madame Morrible and Jeff Goldblum's The Wizard. Related: Ethan Slater stars as Boq, followed by Marissa Bode who plays Elphaba's sister Nessarose Thropp. The clip ends on Grande as Glinda, who waves her wand and the film title appears. It's likely that the Wicked: For Good trailer will drop in the UK in the early hours on Thursday morning, which will work out as Wednesday evening (4 June) in the US. The second movie will see Act II of the musical brought to life on the big screen, with Wicked Part One ending on Cynthia Erivo's acclaimed rendition of 'Defying Gravity' (which coincidentally ends Act I of the musical). Related: 'For Good' is one of many musical numbers fans can look forward to in Part Two, with other anticipated soundtrack songs including 'No Good Dead', 'As Long As You're Mine' and the reprise of 'I'm Not That Girl'. Wicked: For Good will arrive in cinemas on 21 November. Wicked is available to rent now from , , and other digital retailers in the UK. Digital Spy's first print magazine is here!
