Mafs Australia viewers slam bride for ‘disrespecting’ new groom as she makes sensational return to the show
MARRIED AT First Sight Australia fans have hit out at Lauren Hall as she returned to the E4 show tonight.
Lauren – who had an unlucky start with husband Eliot Donovan, before he quit the process – was back for a second chance at love.
She walked down the aisle, but this time to former golfer Clint.
After meeting each other for the first time, Lauren admitted she was close to cancelling.
She struggled to crack a smile as he read out his vows and described them as “too long”.
Before arriving at the ceremony, Lauren told the camera: “Eliot’s vows were all lovely and great but none of it was actually true.”
Clint then confessed to Lauren during his vows that he has two kids.
But a stony-faced Lauren replied: “What kind of breeds are they?,” referring to his pet dogs.
He laughed and said: “I’ve got two samoyeds.”
An unhappy Lauren said: “The vows were very very long.”
She added to the camera after the ceremony: “It was hard to make eye contact, it was very very awkward.
“I felt bad for him, I do have a resting b**** face.”
Some fans thought Lauren was being “disrespectful” to her new groom.
One wrote: ” Lauren you’re such a cow. This is his first time have a little respect!”
A second posted: “Lauren, don’t take what happened the first time around out on Clint. Please.”
Another added: ” Why is Lauren projecting her bad time with Elliot onto Clint!!!! so disrespectful.”
Married At First Sight‘s most controversial groom Eliot‘s relationship with Lauren never got off to the strongest of starts.
He threatened to walk out on his brunette bride, 37, on their wedding day, while also being left annoyed at her sister Tamara’s explosive conduct.
Even before the I Do moment Eliot, 35, had caused a stir as he told experts he didn’t want a “judgmental control freak” or a woman who indulged in “crass behaviour.”
Yet after not feeling the partnership, he quit the show in a fiery outburst, claiming he wanted a bride “under 30.”
Eliot also returned tonight as he tied the knot with personal trainer Veronica.
Viewers, who previously hailed him a “walking red flag” after quitting two days into married life, are annoyed his brutal conduct has secured him more airtime.
In a new Reddit thread, both Eliot and Lauren’s return as “intruder” bride and grooms is revealed.
In a separate Instagram post, salon owner Beth, golfer Clint, business manager Teejay and PT Veronica are also revealed.
The caption read: “Introducing (and reintroducing) the rest of this year’s #MAFSAU brides and grooms!”
One fan kicked off the fury at Eliot’s return and wrote on Reddit: “Did anyone see the MAFS aus advert for next week??”
A second said: “Ugh why are they rewarding Eliot for throwing a tantrum.”
Another put: “Drama loving me can’t wait, but moral me hates that they value jerks like Eliot with guaranteed car crashes over genuine people like Katie with chances of success.
“Guy made it clear he had no respect for the process before it even began.”
Another warned: “Just keep at it, it gets worse!”
Yet one seemed supportive and put: “Makes sense!
“Both of them had a lot of screen time to have then just leave immediately.”
CALLED OUT
Earlier in his MAFS Aus journey, business owner Eliot from Queensland was seen packing his bags and storming out just hours after meeting his new bride.
During the explosive scenes, he fumed: “There were definitely things on my non-negotiables, right?”
“I wanted someone that was younger than me, preferably someone under 30.”
He went on to take aim at his new wife’s style, branding her “superficial” after spotting her love for designer bags.
He said: “There’s some superficiality there, you know, I’m not into like luxury luggage,” ignoring the fact he rocked up to the wedding in a fancy tailored suit.
Atomfall is a brilliant dystopian survival RPG which sees England’s green and pleasant land overrun by radiated nutters
WHEN you first stagger out of a dark bunker into the world of Atomfall all dazed and confused, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’re actually off on a lovely stroll through the English countryside.
There are lush green fields, woodlands, birds chirping, fresh air, cobbled streets . . . and, of course, a classic red telephone box randomly plonked on the pathway in front of you.
All that’s missing are some fish & chips, cream tea, a nice long queue, and a cuppa (actually, that one does pop up later).
But don’t let the tranquil setting fool you.
Because Atomfall is not a glorified episode of Countryfile – it’s actually a post-apocalyptic romp where England’s green and pleasant lands have been overrun by mutated beasts, violent gangs and psychotic, flame-throwing bots.
It’s how Emmerdale would look, post-watershed with a few radiated nutters thrown into the mix. Atomfall is a delightfully British attempt at an end-of-days video game that takes you on a good old-fashioned Armageddon adventure. Though in this case, it’s more Farmergeddon.
Inspired by the true events of the Windscale nuclear fire of 1957, Atomfall is set in the alternative universe in the Lake District where the disaster has turned much of the North of England into a radioactive quarantine zone.
Which is where you start the adventure. You play the classic doomsday survival protagonist – waking up in a bunker without a clue as to how you got there.
Chaos soon ensues as you’re tasked to uncover the truth behind the Windscale accident.
It’s a very quick tutorial which introduces you to basic equipment making concepts (cloth + alcohol = bandage) plus the decision making mechanics – save the scientist who will give you a keycard needed to escape, or just kill him and take it.
And then you step out into the lush lands of Slatten Dale. So far, so Fallout. But the comparison with Bethesda’s humongous affair isn’t a fair one to make.
For a start, there’s no horrific wasteland strewn with death and destruction laid bare in front of you. Indeed, Slatten Dales offers up a lovely landscape of rolling hills bathed in glorious sunshine.
And, unlike Fallout and co (think Metro 2033 and The Witcher III), Atomfall is smaller in scale. And that’s much to its benefit.
This belter from Rebellion doesn’t force you to follow the bog-standard post-apocalyptic gaming map.
There’s no specific route you need to take, no main path to deviate from – you remain wonderfully confused as you wander from place to place, soaking up little clues and hints as to where you might head next.
And instead of one massive world, there are lots of smaller, interconnected areas which all link to the main storyline.
There are plenty of side missions – or leads – to distract you but essentially you’re left to work it out for yourself. Which is how a survival action adventure should be.
The unsuspecting nature of the environment soon lures you into areas of unwanted chaos and destruction. And trouble seems to be round every corner.
Atomfall maintains a nerve-wracking atmosphere throughout. It’s incredibly easy to kill or be killed – a desperate scramble to survive.
Most post-apocalyptic games don’t really have that fear factor . . . you eventually find a way to dispatch the enemy. Whatever guise it takes.
Atomfall, however, forces you to think really hard about whether or not you want to engage in battle. A lot of the time, the best bet is to turn back, hide and get well away from the bad guys, even if there’s just a handful of them.
This in turn leads to carefully planned takedowns when you do enter the carnage – often you sit patiently, out of sight, waiting for a straggler to leave their gang so you can go in for a silent kill and loot some much-needed ammo.
Weapons range from rusty pistols to pristine Enfield LMGs. There is also a quintessentially English arsenal too – the cricket bat offers a wallop and there’s a homemade poison bomb, which you craft using a pint glass from the boozer.
And if you get injured or raise your heart-rate? Well, a decent cuppa will fix that obviously. It’s a very brutish, sorry, British affair.
But the key to success for me was to go silent and violent. Stay hidden in the long grass and take out your foes with a bow. This helped me save on ammo and the quiet kills resulted in less attention.
The melee and combat is a little clunky and inconsistent at times but not enough to distract from the joys of the game.
The skills tree is basic but enough, with each section – ranged combat, melee combat, survival, conditioning – offering up a handful of perks.
You can focus on your damage increase for kicking or boost weapons for a better kill at distance. Again, you shape the game as opposed to the game shaping you.
The enemies range from a doomsday cult to occupying military brutes and psycho killbots. The druids also come with heavy Wicker Man vibes.
It’s not a long game (maybe around 17 hours) but there are multiple endings and plenty of replayability.
Atomfall is a brilliant game. Although it might not sit on the top shelf alongside bigger apocalyptic action RPGs like Fallout, it certainly deserves a spot in the same vault.
It’s an organic adventure with more shock and awe than a Gandalf fireworks display in The Shire.
A proper doomsday delight.

‘New force in Irish media’ – Kathryn Thomas among top stars to launch radio brand Onic with host of digital products
IRELAND’S top radio hosts and chiefs came together to launch the country’s newest media brand today — Onic.
Q102’s Kathryn Thomas was joined by Onic commercial chief Brian McCarthy, FM104’s Zeinab Elguzouli, Cork 96FM’s Lorraine Murphy and Onic MD Sean Barry.
But Morning Show host Kath was upstaged by herself at a later launch — when a bus flew by with her face on it as she was being interviewed.
She laughed: “The first I knew was everybody pointing out the window at me on side of the bus. My first job tomorrow will be finding that driver.
“They drove past at just the right time. You could not have scripted that!”
Onic — formerly Wireless — brings together Ireland’s best radio stations with sales house urbanmedia.
These include Dublin’s FM104 and Q102, Cork’s 96FM and C103, Live 95 in Limerick, LMFM and U105 in Belfast.
Onic also confirmed the launch of 10 new services on the DAB+ trial across the broader Leinster area, a suite of new digital streams, an expansion of talkSPORT Ireland and newly refreshed websites.
Onic has also invested heavily in visualised studios and is delighted to announce new POD and VOD offerings under the Onic Originals banner.
In the coming months the group will launch the Onic App and Player, a space where it will bring all the group’s live audio, podcast and visualised content together in a single destination.
MD Sean Barry said: “Every day our audiences welcome us into their lives and allow us to share their day. Individually and collectively, at home or on the go, we are their trusted companion, connecting in a deep and meaningful way. We never take this for granted.
“Onic is a new force in Irish media, building on a brilliant heritage, setting the standard for audio and video content in the years to come.”
