The wife of a New Forest man has questioned whether they’ll ever find love after tying the knot on television.
Caspar Todd, 34, a gardener at a private estate in the New Forest, married his bride Emma in the first episode of Married at First Sight UK 2024.
The E4 show pairs two singletons before they quite literally marry at first sight, having not met before their wedding day.
After first showing signs of doubt as to whether he could truly love his bride due to similarities with his twin sister, Caspar and Emma – a 31-year-old investment sales manager from Bristol – honeymooned in Jamaica.
Things went from bad to worse for Caspar, after he confessed to Emma that he didn’t find her attractive, saying: “I have rarely gone for the curvier person.”
Married at First Sight UK sees honeymoon turn into nightmare

“I’m probably sugar-coating things and working on small targets rather than a happy ever after,” said Emma.
Caspar said: “I’m frustrated because I don’t know how I ended up here. It’s just a bit much, I don’t feel comfortable with me and that’s playing out in my relationship.
“I noticed on the wedding day that Emma has a few of the same character traits as my sister, that’s weird.
“You’re looking at your wife and your twin sister and they’re very similar. I’m struggling to see how the match process has paired us together.”
After attending two couples’ commitment ceremonies – where each couple confirms whether or not they want to continue on with the process – both Caspar and Emma agreed to do so, despite Emma’s obvious concerns.
She said: “I’m struggling with intimacy on any level, I can’t see it happening and it scares the life out of me.
“I’m quite on edge about the physical affection thing. If we get there, we get there. If we don’t, we don’t.”
