Nathan, who has ADHD, was seen marrying Lacey in a fairytale ceremony and initially it appeared they would be a good match.
However, things got off to a bad start on their big day when he caught the eye of her mum.
She was quick to gush over the handsome manufacturing engineer from Somerset - but some fans said it was "inappropriate".
Lacey's mum repeatedly told Nathan that she thought he was handsome and said he had got her approval.

She exclaimed: "Wow, wow, oh my god. Can we swap?"
"Oh wow," she added, before gasping and holding placing her hands on her face in shock.
Nathan later told the camera: "I think her mum might fancy me you know."
Sitting in the front row, Lacey's mum shouted at Nathan: "Mummy's got the approval, she likes.

"Very handsome man, very very handsome man."
But some fans were baffled by her behaviour.

One wrote: "Genuinely think I would die if my mum acted that way around my husband."
A second posted: "No this mum is too much."
"Nah this mum needs to calm down," a third said.
While another added: "Totally inappropriate comment from Lacey's mum."
Nathan nerves seemed to get the better of him while waiting for Lacey to make her big entrance at the altar.
As is tradition, Lacey's arrival was preceded by her bridesmaids including her sister Paige.
When she glided up the aisle in a plunging pink dress Nathan turned around and let out a huge gasp and a "wow", believing that Paige was his bride.
Wedding guests quickly corrected him, but Nathan couldn't take his eye off Paige.
When it was Lacey's turn he looked disappointed and could only muster up the compliment "you look nice".
Rubbing salt into the wound, he then forgot Lacey's name while saying their vows.
A tearful Lacey told the cameras that she wanted to feel "good enough".
While it remains to be seen how the couple will recover, the wedding became one of the most talked about moments of the series so far.
One viewer raged: "There’s absolutely no way you can marry someone that said wow to your sister and told you, 'you look nice'. It’s your sister he wants, not you!"
"Imagine the outright embarrassment of reacting like that to the sister, compared to your actual bride," one viewer said.
Another said: "I’m no wedding expert but giving it the big coooooar at your brides sister is not a great start."
At the reception, Lacey's mum cornered Nathan, and said: "We have to address the elephant in the room. Nathan, what bride wears hot pink?"
Lacey also pulled him to one side at the end of the night to check that he hadn't fancied her sister more.
He told her that he "froze" and added: "It wobbled me, it threw me a little bit.
"Maybe I've got a little bit of a barrier up. I've had one long term partner, she left and I went into a downward place."
She replied: "That's good to know, if you've got my back I've always got yours."

Lacey added to the cameras: "From what I've seen today I'm still not one hundred per cent sure he is for me but I'm excited to see more."
This isn't the first dating show that Lacey has been on.
