MARRIED At First Sight’s Whitney Elizabeth has defended herself to fans of the show who called her ‘spiteful’ and ‘fame-hungry.’
Viewers were left gobsmacked as bride Whitney slammed her groom Duka as they met for the first time.
PA Whitney, 31, came face-to-face with her new husband on last night's new series of the E4 dating show.
After rolling her eyes at him and giving him the cold shoulder, MAFS fans quickly turned on her.
Whitney, who shared her heart-breaking personal story that she was still grieving for her mother who was her best friend who had passed away suddenly, has now spoken out against her critics.
Posting a shot from a gym work-out, the St Albans star said: "Everyone likes to talk about protecting people's mental health and stopping bullying but apparently if someone is on your TV we are fair game."

She added: "All I can say is this was an intense process for me. I went into the experiment unfiltered and exposed my truest thoughts and feelings.
I go on a MASSIVE journey and I'm proud of the woman that I am."
The new series of MAFS premiered on E4! last night.
Fans were left stunned when Whitney then told her new hubby that she was tempted to run out the door when she saw him.
Speaking away from the camera, she said: "This is the worst thing I've ever done in my f***ing life."
Whitney later insulted Duka's height, calling him "small" and refused to hold his hand or kiss him.
