Some Married At First Sight viewers are convinced shy groom Josh White was subtly rebuking his wife Melissa Sheppard’s fixation with sex and dating ‘alpha males’ by wearing a wrestling T-shirt on Wednesday’s episode.

Josh’s purple T-shirt featured an image of Randy Savage, a legend of WWE‘s golden era in the 1980s, whose in-ring persona was of a colourful, hyped-up ‘Macho Man’.

Several fans suspected Josh wore the T-shirt because this caricature of masculinity is what his demanding wife expects of a husband.

‘I love that he’s wearing a “macho” T-shirt, while pouring his heart out and being a beautifully open, emotionally available man,’ one viewer tweeted.

‘But also, what a waste of a partnership. How gross of her [Melissa] to just thunder on and ignore everything he said. We get it, you like sex.’

Josh donned the shirt for Wednesday’s confessions letter’ task, during which Melissa, 41, revealed the sad reason for her obsession with sex.

The frisky divorcee’s love of sex became sore point for her conservative husband on their honeymoon, with things only getting worse during the first week of them living together.

Addressing her horny antics during a ‘confessions letter’ task, Melissa explained she had been starved of intimacy while married to her ex-husband.

‘Josh, I need to confess to you, so that you understand why I’m feeling this way, and why [sex] is important to me. My first marriage, it was a loveless and sexless marriage. So I left,’ she explained.

Melissa added that physical touch was her ‘love language’ and she fears getting back into another passionless relationship, before assuring Josh sex with him was ‘phenomenal’.

Josh, who previously expressed his reservations about discussing sex openly on the show, appeared baffled as Melissa read her letter.

He told producers he ‘still had some concerns’ about Melissa seemingly believing that sexual openness was a ‘defining personality trait’.

‘I’m really frustrated. There’s so much more to life than just having sex,’ Josh said, adding that partners have to connect on a deeper level for the relationship to work.

Later in the episode, Josh was left feeling uneasy after watching previously unseen footage of Melissa making sexually suggestive remarks on their wedding day.

‘He is Thor! I hope Josh has a big hammer. Let’s wait and see!’ she giggled, adding: ‘I’ve already sized him up from his shoe size, so he’s going really good so far.’ 

Speaking to producers after watching the footage, Josh said he was ‘shocked’ and disappointed by Melissa’s one-track mind.
