She’s the virtue signalling bride who took it upon herself to attack Dean Wells over his comments at the controversial boys’ night.
And while Charlene Perera has been pretty chuffed with herself, viewers of Married At First Sight have labelled the manager a ‘hypocrite’ for continually telling her ‘husband’ Patrick Miller to ‘be a man’ while also crusading against chauvinism.
The 33-year-old has complained for weeks that Patrick’s sensitive side had been a turn-off for her, but she admitted on Sunday that she’d become more attracted to him after seeing him ‘man up’ and confront some of the other grooms.
