Melissa Akbay Spotted Alone Amid Troubled Marriage

Married At First Sight star Melissa Akbay has been spotted looking downcast in as her marriage continues to crumble.

After just one week into the Nine reality juggernaut, Melissa, 28, has already drawn the 'villain' tag from many viewers over her treatment of groom Luke Fourniotis, 30. 

The communications specialist, 28, was spotted during filming cutting a very forlorn figure as she did a spot of solo shopping.

Melissa cut a casual figure for the outing, stepping out in a loose-fitting pink cardigan that she wore over a white T-shirt.

She finished her look with a pair of wide-leg blue jeans with a flared hem and a pair of light pink sneakers.

Melissa accessorised with a black and white canvas bag that she slung over her shoulder and a pair of large black headphones over her ears.

The reality star was seen tucking into a small bag of chips as she strolled the streets with her groom nowhere to be seen.

She also popped into a local supermarket for an armful of groceries, most likely to be eaten alone in her Sydney apartment.      

Things got off to a very rocky start for Melissa and Luke with the groom arriving late to their wedding after he forgot the rings.

He also gave Melissa the 'ick' from the outset, chewing gum while his bride recited her vows.

Their Louth Island honeymoon did little to warm her heart either, with the bride forcing Luke to sleep on the couch.

She also expressed a distinct lack of interest in her betrothed to the other brides at the first dinner party on Monday night.

If that wasn't enough, she also crushed Luke even further during Tuesday's photo ranking challenge, where she placed him second behind Grayson McIvor.

'If someone was to describe who would suit me based on physicality, it would probably be him,' Melissa told Luke.
