A body language expert has revealed exactly what a Married at First Sight UK thought the bride after her groom played an embarrassing prank at the altar.
Channel 4 released a controversial teaser ahead of the new season’s release in September – and a clip of it went viral.
The video shows a 28-year-old mechanic named Kieran patiently waiting at the altar for his future wife, but viewers noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with his teeth.
He turned to the congregation and presented them with a series of hideous false impertinences to see whether his bride was in a mood for a laugh or not.

Speaking to viewers in the teaser, Kieran said: “This could end really badly.
“I just want to know if this girl is fun.”
And it didn’t burst so quickly at first, as the blushing bride Kristina burst into laughter.
But things took a turn for the worse when she noticed: “These teeth.
“What the hell?”
Viewers have been dying to know more about the fate of the soon-to-be-wed couples, and luckily, a body language expert has deciphered everything we need to know.
On behalf of Spin Genie, expert Darren Stanton gave us a real insight into everyone’s mind.
Kieran looked nervous
The prank did not seem to go down particularly well with Mrs Kristina. (Channel 4)
Although the seemingly hilarious prank was committed by the groom, Stanton said, it was he who displayed certain anxious tendencies.
He said: ‘He was sweating, looked visibly tense and had all the classic signs of concern on his face.
“His eyebrows were knitted, his forehead was wrinkled and he was sweating profusely.
“When his bride Kristina came in, she started laughing in his direction and I think she actually got the joke right away.”
But then things took a bad turn…
He continued: “When Kieran said, ‘What are you laughing at?’ it turned to horror and shock because she must have thought she had put her foot in it.”

He said of Kristina’s first impression: “Instead, she put on a totally fake smile of embarrassment and changed from outgoing and cheerful to rather reserved.
“She hunched her shoulders, which is what people do when they’re nervous – they make themselves as small as possible.
“All in all, it was quite immature behavior that did not go down well with the bride.”
He did not get the seal of approval from his in-laws
And Stanton noticed that the in-laws were not particularly impressed by Kieran’s impractical joke.
He noted: “We can see the mother-in-law lowering her head, which expresses shame, and she also shows a hint of disgust – she is not happy.
“I think the groom realizes that not everyone was happy about it and seems to be ashamed himself.
His final impression was that he doesn’t believe it’s “a lasting relationship.”
