Laura Vaughan’s MAFS diary: ‘Polly shouldn’t be intimate with a man she doesn’t trust – Adam is doing the bare minimum’
Click on the above video to find out what Laura thinks about this year's series of the programme
MARRIED At First Sight's three new couples had their first ever dinner party last night - and despite being very nervous, it went quite well for two of them.
Hannah and Stephen, Amy and Luke and Sionainn and Ryan were introduced to the gang during Thursday's instalment of the E4 show.

While Sionainn and Ryan's relationship appears to go from strength to strength, and Amy and Luke's chemistry continues to grow... things reached boiling point with Stephen and Hannah.
It was no surprise that they were voted the weakest couple because all they did was talk to each other through other people and make passive aggressive comments.
Hannah even stormed out during their blazing argument at the table.
All appeared well between the others, apart from Polly and Adam and Caspar and Emma.
More on MAFS
And as I mentioned in yesterday's MAFS diary, I've got plenty to say about Adam and Polly's 'toxic' relationship, now that they've taken their bond to the next level.
If you are as obsessed as Married At First Sight as I am, you need to keep reading, as I've got some thoughts...
Polly and Adam are now in the friend's with benefit zone
7
Adam has come out and he has moved them out of the friend zone but in my opinion he's moved them from the friend zone into the friend's with benefit zone.
Adam and Polly are being more intimate now but I don't actually see them being anymore emotionally intimate.
Most read in TV
We also saw that polly was not happy with new women coming into the dinner party and she clearly doesn't trust adam around them.
So my question for that relationship is if you do not trust your husband, why are you giving him access to yourself in that way in the bedroom.
MAFS viewers brand groom 'heartless' as he slams bride for 'acting up to cameras' and to 'stop speaking'
"We should not be giving bare minimum men access to us like this!"
There was a strategic move from production last night...
7
Alex and Holly met up with Stephen and Hannah prior to the dinner party which is a first for Mafs.
I can't help but think that this was a strategic move by production just to make sure there was concern floating around the girls who are feeling quite insecure about their relationship.
Orson... why are you not standing up for yourself?
7
We also saw Richelle's character assassination of Orson during the dinner party saying he's not strong enough, he's not the man he needs, he's not sufficient.
I cant help but thin that with the terminology she's using now.
She's doing it on purpose to try and provoke a response.
But Orson just sits there and takes it.
Your wife doesn't respect you, she's saying your not the man that he needs.
Why are you still there and why are you not standing up for yourself?
Alex has a "concerning amount of control"
7
I get that Alex is a private guy so I give him the benefit of the doubt but sorry you have gone on a very public TV show to go through the ins and outs of your relationship.
Therefor you are going to have to talk about things on camera!
I don't like the level of control he's having over their relationship and how he determines what they can and cant talk about on camera.
That is a concerning amount of control.
I feel sorry for Caspar!
7
Dare I say it... I'm starting to feel sorry for Caspar.
I see where he's coming from.
Emma was so hurt by the comment he made about not fancying curvy women that she's now using that as an excuse to not do any work in the relationship himself.
We also saw him hulk out behind the scenes on set, he was throwing things around.

Mafs couples that have stood the test of time
Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.
The pair couldn't keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam's Doncaster home.
Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.
Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.
Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: “I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out - and excited for everything to come.”
Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.
Owen recalled: “I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.
"While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.
“The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if I signed up?’
“A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.”
Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.
Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna's vegan lifestyle, the show's first same sex pairing are still going strong.
They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.
Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: "We're not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship."
