Married At First Sight star insists she's 'not a sexual predator' and slams show editing

Gemma Rose has taken to Instagram to slam Married At First Sight UK and the way in which she has been portrayed on the E4 show.

The redhead hit out at the editing of the dating series and insisted she is 'not a sexual predator' in a string of comments shared on her Instagram Story.

Gemma decided to give her 17.7k followers the opportunity to ask her some questions on Thursday, and she did not hold back in her replies.

In response to one person asking: "How do you control your sexual thoughts?" she replied: "It's literally banter, I'm not a sexual predator.

"It was back and forth comments and i took it too far hence his upset but when you know what he said, you'll question everything," she added, referring to a scene between her and her husband Matt Murray - which saw him storm out of a restaurant.

During Wednesday’s episode, the couple had their first commitment ceremony with the experts - but it was explosive from the minute they sat down on the sofa.

Matt, 32, shocked everyone when he revealed the real reason for storming out is because he accused Gemma of touching herself inappropriately at a restaurant during their honeymoon.

Their fellow cast mates were left speechless as Gemma insisted it was just a "joke" and nothing more. She went on to reveal that she “doesn't know how to flirt” and uses innuendos to "beg for affection".

On her Instagram Story, when one follower urged her not to let the editing or "bullies" get her down, Gemma continued: "Thousands of comments. Definitely a matter for @ofcom.org.uk that I'm going to take further.

"Pauses that don't exist and footage used the wrong order," she claimed, seemingly referring to the editing of the E4 dating series.

When asked if she would do the show again, Gemma simply responded: "Never and I've cancelled all future work with them."

Prompted about whether or not she will go into detail about her experience in the near future, Gemma said: "When it's over. But I have to stick up for myself where necessary."

Gemma went on to claim that Matt was "making the same jokes" she was but says it hasn't been shown on the episodes so far.

When asked what she wished had been shown, Gemma replied: "His sexual banter on the wedding day."

The Mirror has contacted a representative for MAFS UK asking for comment.

Married At First Sight UK airs Monday - Thursday at 9pm on E4.
