The pair are one of the most controversial couples in the show’s history.
Bryce and Melissa’s divisive relationship attracted hundreds of negative headlines and prompted a Change.org petition calling for Nine to formally apologise.
Outraged viewers even filed multiple complaints about the show to the media watchdog, singling out radio announcer Bryce, 32, for his problematic behaviour.
Throughout the show, Bryce repeatedly told ‘wife’ Melissa, also 32, that she wasn’t his type because she didn’t have blue eyes.
