This Morning fans not impressed with Married At First Sight expert's dating advice

Some This Morning viewers were not overly impressed with Paul Carrick Brunson's dating advice on Monday.

The US star appeared on the ITV show alongside hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby to answer people's dating dilemmas.

Holly and Phil invited several fans of the show to speak to the Married At First Sight expert live, but not everyone was content with his responses.

As one woman called Pam explained that she's having no luck on dating apps, Paul tried his best to boost her confidence.

As well as telling her to start using 10 dating apps, instead of just two, Paul also suggested that 50-year-old Pam should start "sliding into DM's".

He also advised her to make the most of friends and family and ask them to play matchmaker too - but this seemed to spark a reaction with some fans of the show.

Taking to Twitter, one viewer wrote: "Make your friends and family choose your partner ??? Think not … #ThisMorning."

Another posted: "this guy on #thismorning who is giving dating advice.... really really shouldn’t be. please don’t go through your friend’s instagrams messaging random good looking people lmao."

A third person asked: "You seriously asking friends to introduce you to someone on dm ???? Awkward #ThisMorning."

And a fourth added: "If my family or friends chose my partner I’d end up with a right scruff, no bloody thank you #thismorning."

Someone else tweeted: "Friends and family hooking you up , my friends and fam have the worst taste in people #ThisMorning."

Paul is currently appearing on the 2021 series of Married At First Sight UK and guiding a group of couples as they navigate married life with someone that they only just met on their big day.

Earlier this month, Paul felt the need to defend the E4 reality show after some viewers slammed it on Twitter.

One Twitter user wrote to him saying: “@PaulCBrunson I feel so disappointed with this years series. All fame hungry. No real people. All stick thin, slapped up women -- boring!

“It's an interesting experiment but choosing these types of people is just for the drama which down plays the experiment. #mafsuk,” they added.

However, Paul was quick to retweet the post and added: “I hear you and get your thoughts given all the opinions around the show but know this, most of this cast came into this experiment wanting to find true love.”

He then urged: “Stay with us until the end, you just might be surprised with the results. #MAFSUK.”

This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV.
