There's lots to be annoyed about watchingMarried At First Sight UK). And I'm sad that we haven't seen our favourite couple,Matt and Daniel{
When speaking about Nikita's now infamous outburst at Jordon, which happened because he has been treating his wife Alexis horrendously, Franky spoke to his wife, Marilyse, and told her just how unbecoming it was for Nikita to swear. As Marilyse said that Nikita was out of order, Franky added his two pence, saying: 'And a woman swearing like that, it's the ugliest thing.'
It's not just Nikita's language which has been criticised this series - Jordon has repeatedly said how vile he finds his wife Alexis swearing (when, being honest, a lot of the time he deserves somebody telling him to piss off).
As a woman who swears a lot, few things wind me up more than hearing a man speak about how vulgar it is when a woman speaks the way she likes. In fact, Jordon has been the ultimate hypocrite - while expounding on how much he hates Alexis swearing, he has sworn at her. So he obviously isn't that offended by the language himself - he just dislikes a woman using it.
It seems like a pretty minor thing - in terms of feminism - to be hung up on, but men still seem to have a monopoly over language; how you can speak, what tone you use, and what words you're allowed to say. A man telling a woman not to swear is just another way to exert control, in a way that's more socially acceptable than telling a woman you expect her to do all the housework.
The most annoying thing of all is you don't often hear men being told the same thing. Can you remember the last time you heard a man telling another man not to swear? I know I can't. It's ridiculous that it's never seen as shocking when a man swears - it's why male comedians and men like Gordon Ramsay have been able to make a career out of spewing profanities. Because men are supposed to be dominant and use the forbidden words, right?
Even growing up, I remember being shouted at by teachers to stop swearing, when the boys sat next to me - who swore even more - wouldn't be reprimanded. I also remember being told that the way I spoke wasn't 'ladylike', as way to encourage me to stop developing the mouth of a sailor. (It obviously didn't fucking work.) But now I'm older, I can see that - unfortunately - it's still an outdated attitude men, and some women, harbour. That to be a real, classy, dainty woman, you're not allowed to convey your emotions through swearing.
But swearing is wonderful. It isn't just a case of using bad words. You can use it to exclaim shock, for humour, to exaggerate. And, sometimes, to offend (only in cases somebody really deserves it). Telling women not to swear is limiting our vocabulary, and the way we're able to express ourselves. And you might have heard before the lazy explanation that people who swear aren't clever, but actually, there's been quite a few studies now that show people who swear are actually more intelligent, and linguistically fluent.
So to all those men who tell women off for swearing? A very kind f*ck off.

What Happened To The Couples From Married At First Sight Australia Season Six?
1 of 12Sam Ball and Elizabeth Sobinoff
Sam and Elizabeth might not have lasted, as Sam seemed far more interested in Ines. But Lizzie was the true winner - she was so popular with viewers she appeared on the next series of the show, finding love with Seb Guilhaus. But, sadly, they split earlier this month after a year together.
2 of 12Cyrell Jimenez and Nic Jovanovic
'Cyclone Cyrell' and Nic's tumultuous relationship was, sadly, not to last. But prepare for another reality TV crossover, as Cyrell now has a baby with Love Island runner-up Eden Dally, and Nic has just been praised for posting a sweet tribute to his ex.
3 of 12Lauren Huntriss and Matthew Bennett
One of the biggest storylines this season was about Matthew and his virginity, as he was repeatedly labelled as 'virgin'/'ex-virgin' Matt by the narrator. Anyway, Matthew was matched with Lauren - who, yes, he lost his virginity to - but it all went horribly wrong when Lauren heard Matthew telling the other guys at dinner that he wasn't sexually attracted to Lauren. AWKWARD. Lauren is still a make-up artist, we don't know if she's dating anyone. But on the other hand, self-confessed fitness enthusiast Matthew is loved up with a new girlfriend - who he met at a wrestling tryout.
4 of 12Mike Gunner and Heidi Latcham
Mike and Heidi's relationship was one which could have gone either way, but after the show, the pair split - announcing the sad news at the post-finale reunion special. 'Right after the final vows, Heidi and I went back to the Gold Coast together but it didn't take long and the wheels started coming off,' Mike explained. Heidi has said she hasn't spoken to her former husband since. From the looks of their Instagram pages, they still look single.
5 of 12Cam Merchant and Jules Robinson
Oh, Cameron and Jules. From the minute Jules and Cam had their first wedding dance without any music, we had an inkling they were in it for the long haul. And we were right! The pair now have a baby together, who was born in October last year, and tied the knot properly after the show. So, yes - sometimes this wild experiment does work.
6 of 12Melissa Lucarelli and Dino Hira
Probably the worst matched couple on the series, it isn't shock the pair called it quits on the show after Dino allegedly recorded a conversation Melissa was having with her sister about the wedding day. It appears both are still single.
7 of 12Martha Kalifatidis and Michael Brunelli
Martha and Michael were an extremely drama free pair (in comparison to everyone else) so it's no shock that they have actually managed to stay together. Yay!
8 of 12Ning Surasiang and Mark Scrivens
Eek. Another very up and down pair, Ning and Mark's relationship dissolved during the final commitment ceremony - with Mark dumping Ning, much to her shock. Following the show, Mark moved on with another former reality star, Bianca Chatfield – who appeared on home renovation show The Block. Ning also has a new partner, and has become a grandmother aged 35: her daughter has just given birth!
9 of 12Susie Bradley and Billy Vincent
Susie and Billy were one of the couples who married later in the experiment. From the get go, Susie kept on calling Billy awkward - even calling him a deeb at one point on their honeymoon. They split before the final commitment ceremony. Susie is now dating former rugby pro Todd Carney and they have a baby on the way. However, Billy appears to be single.
10 of 12Ines Basic and Bronson Norrish
We knew this relationship wasn't going to last from the moment Ines asked Bronson to take out his eyebrow ring. Ines went on to have an affair with Sam, which Sam has since claimed was faked by producers, and it all came out during an explosive commitment ceremony. Bronson is now a lot happier with girlfriend Hayley Wallis. And from her Instagram, Ines looks to be single at the moment.
11 of 12Jessika Power and Mick Gould
Major cracks started to show in Mick and Jessika's relationship, then Jessika went after one of the newly weds, Dan. Not a shock that Jessica and Mick didn't survive then…(Neither did her affair with Dan, btw.)
12 of 12Dan Webb and Tamara Joy
After these two fell apart thanks to Jessika and Dan's affair, Tamara was linked to Jessika's ex, Mick. The drama never stops.
