EXCLUSIVE: Married at First Sight UK groom Reiss Boyce has claimed that a key scene from his wedding day was cut from the E4 show, which may have changed the way viewers see him
Married at First Sight UK groom Reiss Boyce has revealed a crucial moment from his wedding day that E4 viewers didn’t see.
The reality TV newcomer opened up to the Mirror about his journey on the dating experiment, where producers matched him with Edinburgh bride Leisha Lightbody.
Whilst their final vows have yet to be shown, the pair have endured their fair share of turbulent moments throughout the process.
They even appeared incompatible on their wedding day, but 33-year-old Reiss insists the programme’s editing didn’t show the full story behind their first meeting, reports OK!.
“There were definitely stages where I wasn’t happy with the edit. They sort of cut bits out and you can be perceived as the bad guy but that’s not exactly how things went down. Some things can be twisted a little bit,” he revealed.
Reiss then highlighted an uncomfortable moment from the big day, when Leisha mistakenly read aloud a direction in her vows that instructed her to ‘pause’ – rather than actually taking a break in her speech.
The bride and wedding guests erupted in giggles, whilst Reiss appeared stone-faced on screen.
However, the groom also found Leisha’s gaffe amusing, but claims his laughter was edited out completely.
Reiss explained: “When me and Leisha got married and she was saying her vows – she said the word ‘pause’. I actually laughed, when she said ‘pause’, I found it funny.
“But the edit cut that bit out and you just see me shaking my head and just looking in a bit of a huff and a puff. But that’s not actually how it went down.”
He added: “If I was watching someone else do that when his missus has just said ‘pause’ out loud instead of just looking at the word, I would look at him and think ‘That means he’s quite boring, he’s not up for a laugh.'”
The Essex lad then claimed that the early scenes in the show “tried to paint me like I wasn’t into it at all,” but insisted that he was genuinely interested in the relationship.
Reiss is now embarking on a completely different venture from the E4 show.
The reality star will be making a guest appearance in the adult panto Sinderella, penned and directed by Big Brother celebrity Simon Gross.
The ‘naughty’ show is an adult twist on the fairy-tale classic, featuring popular tunes such as Dancing Queen, Electric Dreams, It’s Raining Men and Never Going To Give You Up.
The show debuts at Scala London on Friday, December 19, with Reiss set to make his cameo appearances on December 21 and 22.
Sinderella is at Scala London from December 19, 2025 to January 11, 2026.
Married at First Sight UK continues on E4 tonight at 9pm
