THIS is the shock moment a Married At First Sight Australia groom sensationally quits the show in a fiery outburst after being paired with a bride just two years older.
The drama kicked off when Eliot Donovan, 35, was matched with Lauren Hall, 37, in the series Down Under.

But he was having none of it, declaring in a shocking rant: “I wanted someone under 30!”
In a preview for an upcoming episode of MAFS, the business owner from Queensland is seen packing his bags and storming out just hours after meeting his new bride.
He fumed: “There were definitely things on my non-negotiables, right?”
“I wanted someone that was younger than me, preferably someone under 30.”
He went on to take aim at his new wife’s style, branding her “superficial” after spotting her love for designer bags.
He said: “There’s some superficiality there, you know, I’m not into like luxury luggage,” ignoring the fact he rocked up to the wedding in a fancy tailored suit.
Viewers defended Lauren, who also runs her own business in Queensland.
Many called Eliot a “walking red flag” and fans have already labelled him the show’s biggest villain, slamming him on social media for his shallow attitude.
One said: “If this Elliot came in with all those high standards and controlling attitude. Why was he picked?.”
Another said: “Why do guys like Eliot even sign up for the show? He’s embarrassing himself.”
Earlier, Eliot’s best man Jordy was extremely nervous about the wedding.
“I’ve got huge concerns that he may not be into her. If he smiles, happy days. If he’s not smiling then it’s huge red flags,” he said.
Lauren said she wanted a man that is masculine, chivalrous, and takes the lead when she applied for the show.
And the experts noted that they both had expectations about traditional gender roles.
“In some strange way, we’ve got a very compatible match,” relationship guru John Aiken said.
