Fans of Married At First Sight were left puzzled when intruder groom Reiss disclosed his rather unusual requirement for his future wife.
The painter and decorator shared with the experts what he looks for in his ideal bride.



However, viewers were taken aback when Reiss revealed that he is specifically looking for a woman with a certain way of walking.
In his video testimonial, Reiss stated: “When people first meet me, they think I’m flashy because of my appearance. I consider myself to be quite attractive.”
He continued: “When I’m interested in a woman, I first notice her teeth and smile.
“I get a little silly and start observing her walk, ensuring it’s appealing as well.
“An attractive walk for a woman is when she walks one foot in front of the other, not side by side.”
He then demonstrated the type of walk he desires for his future wife using his fingers.
Yet, E4 viewers were left confused by this requirement.
One viewer commented: “What does Reiss mean by a woman’s walk? The only way to walk is one foot in front of the other. Otherwise, it’s just shuffling.”
Another posted: “What does Reiss mean by ‘I don’t like side by side walking’? He seems a bit odd, but I was hoping he would be ‘nicer Steven’.”
A third remarked: “I hope Reiss demonstrates the crab walk he dislikes. I want to make sure I walk correctly.”
This person commented: “What is Reiss talking about? How many women walk like crabs!?”
Another said: “Where did they find him? At least I now know how to walk,” while another viewer added: “Leisha better crab walk down that aisle.”
“An attractive walk for a woman involves legs moving straight, one at a time, not side to side. Either the women from his background are constantly intoxicated or have some other issue,” another shared.
This individual stated: “She better walk down the aisle in a confident…one foot in front of the other manner.”
While another viewer remarked: “Reiss seems to think he’s a gift to women as long as they don’t walk like a crab… okay then.”
Another added: “How does he expect women to walk?”
Reiss, who owns a painting and decorating business, mentioned that he enjoys getting his hands dirty and is not afraid of hard work.
Reiss shared: “I’m very close to my family; my nanny Linda is like an angel to me, she’s my rock. I love playing chess with her.”
“My nan and granddad have had a loving relationship for many years, and I hope mine will be similar.”
The Essex native described himself as a romantic at heart and believes he has learned from the best, so he is now ready to settle down.
Reiss, who previously dated Towie star Dani Imbert, also spoke about his most recent breakup.
He stated: “I miss being in a relationship. It’s hard to beat that connection.
“I’m not sure if I’ve found the complete package.
“I tend to choose the wrong partners. My last relationship unfortunately ended because the arguments became too frequent.
“I’ve experienced heartbreak in past relationships. When a girl leaves, I feel abandoned and lost.
“Marrying a stranger will work for me because I’m willing to do anything to find the perfect one.”
Yesterday, E4 viewers witnessed the couple meet for the first time at the altar.
Reiss was seen turning around to greet Leisha, who was already laughing heartily.
The overly enthusiastic bride seemed to overwhelm Reiss within moments.
In one scene, she was seen bending her knees and excitedly screaming at the ground.
Reiss appeared visibly uncomfortable as he looked on.
Speaking to the camera, Reiss expressed his concerns, saying: “She’s moving at 100 miles an hour.
“Let’s hope it doesn’t escalate to 1000 miles an hour.”
Still clearly thrilled about her wedding day, Leisha told the camera: “Buckle up because he
