What happened between Caspar Todd and Emma Barnes on Married at First Sight UK? Details explored

The episode featured Caspar chatting with his bride, Emma, a day after their wedding. She initiated the conversation by sharing that her first day after getting married was "fabulous". She then asked Caspar to share a bit about his state of mind.

He shared that he had been "struggling" and hadn't felt "the spark" that he expected to feel. Emma didn't quite understand what he meant, so she enquired further. She wondered whether she had done anything that resulted in such a change in behavior from Caspar.

The Married at First Sight UK star talked about some of Emma's "actions" from their wedding day, specifically when he saw Emma talking with his sister.

"Watching you and her (Caspar's sister) laugh together, there's an element and sort of mannerisms - I'm equating one with the other, and it's not good."

Emma asked him what his "usual type" was. He responded that he had "rarely" gone for a "curvier" partner, to which she responded with the following:

"Do you think I look sexy tonight? But you don't think I'm sexy?"

Caspar struggled to answer, and with marked heavy breathing, said, "No."

To make things clearer, Emma asked him whether he "fancied her."

"No, currently no, let's be honest," replied Caspar.

Emma, referring to his views, told him that he needed to work on his "outlook" before "judging women."

"If you didn't think I was sexy in my f***ing wedding dress and my gorgeous bikini today, I don't know what hope there is."

On their wedding day, Casper confessed to the cameras that he sensed some similarities between his sister and his bride, Emma. He mentioned how Emma had a "big smile" and was full of "energy." He also referred to his newly married bride as a "beautiful, dazzling woman."

Meanwhile, Married at First Sight UK star Emma could be seen confessing that on their wedding day, Caspar "ticked every box" she wanted.
