Married at First Sight Australia's Bronte Schofield's endometriosis sees Harrison blasted for 'fake' couch chat

Married at First Sight Australia's third commitment ceremony got underway on Monday, and amid all the drama from Adam and Claire's cheating scandal, we saw Adam and Janelle the latest to pack their bags.

Meanwhile, Jesse and Claire decided to give things another crack despite being embroiled in the chaos, likely due to Claire Nomarhas' patience and heartfelt apology to her husband following her 'drunken kiss' with Adam.

Panel expert John Aitken hailed marriage celebrant Jesse, 30, as "remarkable" for his handling of the scandal, adding that he "maintained a kindness that frankly at times has taken our breath away."

But another focal point of last night's episode came as John highlighted Bronte, 28, was unable to attend the commitment ceremony alongside her partner Harrison, 32, as she was feeling unwell.

It wasn't until Harrison sat on the couch and revealed his wife was suffering from endometriosis, something which we previously didn't know about the bride, and not much else was said about it up until this point.

And it could have potentially been one of the shortest couch sessions in history, as the builder by trade was promptly shut down by John.

Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows in other places, such as the ovaries and fallopian tubes.

Untreated endometriosis can cause significant pain, bloating, excess menstrual bleeding, and digestive distress. Over time, it can also affect a person's fertility and other organs.

"Unfortunately Bronte couldnt be here she goes through a lot more at her time of the month," Harrison started as he sat on the couch.

"I am not a voice for endometriosis but she's in a lot of pain and gets very emotional and crying and um...." he became flustered and the chat got awkward.

He continued: "And um, sorry. Its just really hard to see her like that. I'm going to try get through this as best I can, um, I'm a guy I don't know what Bronte goes through so I have to be supportive and do what I can."

But one person that wasn't buying his doting speech was John, who shut him down instantly and asked for the couple's decision so the show could abruptly move on.

"I am not getting the sense you're being real with us, stay or leave?" quipped Paul as Harrison confirmed both of them are staying within the experiment for at least another week.

Fans of the show were quick to jump on the bandwagon, also not believing a word the 32-year-old said. Harrison has been under fire since he appeared on the show over his "gaslighting and abusive" behaviour, whilst also being wrapped up in the drama of getting a girl's phone number.

He was even accused at his own wedding as he met Bronte at the alter of having "another woman on the outside" waiting for him when he left the show, with the woman in question even having helped him back his bags for his TV stint.

"FFS Harrison that performance was more painful than my endometriosis has ever been #MAFS #MAFSAU #MAFSAustralia," penned one fan as they shared a series of laughing faces.

Another added: ‘I’m not a voice for endo-de-metriosis’ You’re really not are you. #MAFSAU," as they mocked the builder.

A third quipped: "Everyone sitting there and straight up laughing at Harrison is 100% going down as the best moment in this show’s history #MAFS #MAFSAU."

Married At First Sight Australia airs Monday - Thursday on E4 at 7:30pm.
