Married At First Sight UK's Dean breaks silence on most awkward in-laws moment
Dean Vary's bride was unable to offer an interesting fact about her new husband and it's not the only time things have turned awkward on Married at First Sight UK
Married at First Sight UK groom Dean Vary has addressed the awkward moment his new wife struggled to name an interesting fact about him after meeting his new in-laws.
After last week's friends and family visits, he has broken his silence on the cringe moment. Team builder Dean, 31, has been matched with recruitment consultant Sarah, also 31, for the E4 experiment - and things turned a little embarrassing for the couple that fans think appear doomed.
Dean is a jack of all trades, having worked as a darts darts player, stand-up comedian, magician, cruise ship host and team building course leader, which has helped him to become confident in front of the ladies - but so far, things don't seem to be working out for him.
The duo have struggled to connect from day one, with Sarah admitting she wasn't physically drawn to her new husband on their wedding day. Things didn't get much better and at the first dinner party where Sarah "chatted" about her partner to fellow participants, prompting Paul C Brunson to pull her up on it.
Another of the experts, Mel Schilling, also had words with the Scottish bride after she openly eyeing-up a MAFS producer attractive in front of Dean. Their relationship hit yet another stumbling block during friends and family week when Dean's mate James put Sarah through her paces.
Whilst chatting about their honeymoon, Dean insisted the newlyweds had learned "a lot about each other." This led James to question Sarah: "Tell me one interesting fact you learned about Dean." The bride hesitated before responding, creating an uncomfortable silence in the room.
She finally answered: "Maybe magic tricks, I feel. You can do magic tricks." But her long pause didn't go down well with Dean's pal of over 25 years. James later admitted to producers: "I am a bit shocked that Sarah couldn't think of anything interesting about Dean, one of the most charismatic people I know. Anything that she had learned about him would have been an interesting fact."
Now, Dean has responded to the awkward moment on TikTok, report OK! The E4 personality shared his reaction on Sunday (October 12), listing a host of fascinating details his spouse could have mentioned. These ranged from his juggling abilities to his former role as a redcoat entertainer at Butlins, amongst other talents.
Whilst audiences were left gobsmacked that Sarah faltered on the question, Dean seemed to take it all in his stride in his response clip. During another part of the in-laws encounter, James voiced his worries about Sarah and Dean's relationship after discovering Sarah had previously described her husband as giving her the "ick".
He raged: "Ick is a horrible word. It came as a shock. He could be getting made a bit of a fool and disrespected. That makes me worry. F****** muggy!"
Fans were also left stunned when the pair went for an intimate dinner on the beach, and behind the scenes, one of the producers asked Sarah: "Is there anything that Dean could do to ever get a sexual spark?"
"Get some tattoos and lose some weight, maybe?" she replied to the producers, which left many fans outraged. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan penned: "What's Sarah's deal with Dean's weight? He's not very big. Get tattoos and lose weight?! Rude.
"Noooo pls tell me Sarah has not just said she’d fancy him if he lost weight n got tattoos.. on national television?? Girl are you okay ???" a second questioned.
"Now if Dean told Sarah to lose weight, the experts would step in," said a third.
