Fright At First Sight! - Poor Aimee's Marriage Disaster

The bride has been left devastated

When Chris Mansfield was axed from Married at First Sight last week, no-one was more shocked than his bride, Aimee Collins.

The platinum blonde who signed up for the show to find love and adventure was ‘wed’ to Chris, but both were cut from the Three show when it was revealed the groom has an outstanding arrest warrant for a domestic violence charge in the United States.

“The entire experience has been very, very traumatic for me,” Aimee, 34, says. “I’m really lost for words.”

Drama is a given on the reality show that sees six couples walking down the aisle to marry complete strangers. In both season one and two there were alliances formed, eye-rolls galore and full-blown shouting matches.

But this year things took a sinister turn when a former partner of Chris reached out to media to express her concern at his presence on the series. And then, upon further investigation, the outstanding warrant was discovered.

It is understood that the Christchurchraised 39-year-old moved to the US on a temporary visa in 2004 to play rugby, and stayed on for another seven years.
