MAFS UK’s Sarah finally gets ‘intimate’ with Dean after branding him a ‘care bear’ in body-shaming comments.
The controversial bride, who has openly admitted she doesn’t feel attracted to husband Dean, attempted to take things to the next level with a massage.

This all comes after Sarah was called out for ‘disrespectful’ behaviour towards Dean.
The slightly awkward moment, which came as part of an intimacy exercise during Wednesday night’s episode, seemed to be enjoyed by Dean, who branded it a “step in the right direction”.
But bride Sarah seemed a bit off-put during the oily encounter, making awkward grins to the camera as she massaged Dean’s back.
She asked him: “How’s that?”, with Dean replying: “That’s nice”.
“Good”, Sarah responded, while visibly cringing during the massage she was giving him.
Dean seemed more positive about the encounter though, and said to the cameras: “I feel like this is a step in the right direction.“
He added: “I’ve been waiting a long time for this, Dean giggled, it’s been worth the wait.”
Sarah then said to the cameras: “I want to be Dean’s biggest cheerleader – I want for things to go in the right direction.
“But um, it was a bit funny, isn’t it?”
It comes as she faced serious backlash from viewers following the way she’s handled her marriage with Dean – who she previously admitted she had “no spark” with.
On her wedding day, Sarah admitted Dean wasn’t her dream man, calling him “over the top” and confessing she didn’t “fancy him” or want to “rip his clothes off.”
During their honeymoon, she dropped another bombshell, confessing she’d never dated anyone as “big” as Dean – a huge blow to her new husband.
She even told cameras that for her to feel a “spark” with him, Dean would need to “get some tattoos, lose some weight.” Viewers slammed her “cruel” delivery.
And after the first commitment ceremony, where expert Paul C. Brunson called Sarah’s words into question, Dean has now broken his silence on the fat-shaming.
Dean shared a TikTok video, and said: “Hello you lovely lot. I wanted to send a message to say thank you for all your kind words and support.
“A lot of you are saying don’t change, be who you are and stay true to yourself.
“I can’t lie, yesterday was a tricky one, it was tricky to watch, but your love and support has been very well received and it has helped to put a smile on my face.”
Dean continued: “I’m usually sunshine and rainbows all the time as much as I can be. Sometimes you can’t be, but you try to be when you can.
“I know you guys are definitely helping to put the smile back on my face so thank you so much.
“I’d much rather be a care bear than a bad boy any day of the week, so don’t worry I won’t go changing who I am, and thank you once again for all the kindness and the love.”
Dean finished by saying: “There’s too much meanness and not niceness in this world, so just keep being positive and happy, and keep smiling.
“Life at life before life laughs at you. That’s what my granddad always used to say.”
Meanwhile, Sarah has been keen to show fans another side of their relationship.
Posting a string of sunny snaps from their Maldives getaway, she told followers: “TV gave you the drama but here’s the real Maldives… fun, drinks & a lot of laughs.”
Dean cheekily jumped into the comments, writing: “See you did laugh at my jokes sometimes.”
Sarah has already been forced to defend herself from furious viewers.
Earlier this season, she posted a pointed message on her Instagram story reading: “So many people inspire me to be nothing like them.”
Adding her own sting, she captioned: “This one is for the trolls… x”
She’s become one of the show’s most controversial brides to date after fat shaming Dean, saying he isn’t her usual type because he’s bigger.
