Married At First Sight’s Vanessa Romito and Chris Nicholls have barely appeared on the show since their wedding aired over three weeks ago.

‘After their wedding they just faded into the background compared to the bigger personalities,’ a source told Daily Mail Australia.
‘There wasn’t any arguments or drama, they just took things nice and slowly while getting to know each other, which isn’t particularly interesting to watch on TV.’
A second source added that the couple’s only drama – a huge fight – happened off-camera during an 11-day production break at the start of October, but there was ‘no footage’ for producers to incorporate it into the show.

Boring TV? When asked about their lack of air time, one source told Daily Mail Australia, ‘After their wedding they just faded into the background compared to the bigger personalities’
The insider added: ‘Everything was going great, filming was then halted for a week or so, and once the cameras started rolling again they couldn’t stand each other.
‘Producers couldn’t understand what had happened. There was no footage showing them fall out, and their explanations struggled to provide context for viewers.
‘It’s as if bosses just thought it’s easier to downplay their entire appearance on the show all together and edit them out as much as possible.’
