The biggest MAFS UK 2025 villains so far, ranked by how much I want them off my screen

Your fave groom is a walking red flag


This season of MAFS is already stacked full of people who just shouldn’t be on the show anymore. Whether it’s couples who constantly bicker or people who might be on for entirely the wrong reasons, here are the biggest MAFS UK 2025 villains.

5. Ashley and Grace

Yes, I’m putting these two together. They’re both pretty likeable when they’re on their own, but together, they bring out the worst in each other. Grace just obviously doesn’t like Ashley, which is part of why she nitpicks basically everything he says.

Ashley seems to like her a bit more, but the way he talks to her comes across as super condescending sometimes, and his impatience with her is kind of a red flag. I think these two have had enough screen time as is.

4. Reiss

Reiss and Leisha are already clashing like mad. But last episode, where he was dismissive after his new bride got bitten by a dog on their honeymoon, was a major red flag. Leisha having to ask him to come to the hospital with her, while they’re alone in a foreign country together just doesn’t sit right with me.

3. Dean

Dean is starting to feel like the classic “nice guy” villain – unsuspecting at first, but as the season goes on, it’s getting pretty annoying. He talks about being “friend-zoned”, which in the year 2025 is pretty toxic, just because you’re nice doesn’t mean girl has to like you.

Sarah and Dean are clearly not into each other, and forcing it for the sake of the experiment is getting painful to watch. Let’s wrap it up by the end of the week, please.

2. Steven

Calling your wife an “idiot” is just another level of low. Nelly and Steven’s constant arguments and clashes was good drama at first, but now I’m just getting bored of watching them try and work things out. Plus, with all the rumours about what was going on in Steven’s private life while MAFS was filming, it’s hard to take any of it seriously.

1. Sarah

I don’t think my top pick will be very controversial. Even with all the issues I have with Dean, I think Sarah’s comments about his appearance were vile. It’s perfectly fine to have a preference, what’s not okay is to communicate that in a harmful way. It’s hard to feel sorry for her when you remember she could just leave the show. Why force something with someone you clearly can’t stand? Hard watch all around.
