Carrie Bickmore has slammed Married At First Sight bride Gia Fleur for her ‘mean’ behaviour on the matchmaking series.
The radio host, 45, confronted the reality TV star, 35, in a tense interview on Friday morning during her Hit Network show Carrie and Tommy.
She told the disability support worker that she tells her own daughter to never mimic the behaviour Gia exhibits on TV when she fights with her fellow brides.
‘So, when my daughter popped through the room to the kitchen and I’m watching it and she looks up at the screen and she sees what’s going on, I’m going to be honest, I say to her, “Don’t ever grow up to be like that,'” Carrie told Gia.
‘And that’s me talking about you and Juliette [Chae Fava] and Bec [Zacharia] and all of you that are screaming and being mean to each other.
‘Watching back, do you look at that and go, “Oh, my God, what am I doing?”‘

Gia took the criticism on the chin, politely listening to Carrie before agreeing she was ’embarrassed’ by the way she acted on national TV.
‘Yeah, I mean, I’m raising a daughter and she’s going to be a grown woman one day. So, yeah, I watch that and I’m embarrassed by my behaviour,’ Gia said.
‘I see some of the things Juliette and I say and some of the language that we use and it’s embarrassing. It’s really confronting to see it.
‘Obviously, that is not how I act in normal life. I am not speaking like that around my daughter.
‘It’s hard to watch and I definitely wouldn’t be proud if she was doing that on a TV show.’
Carrie has three children: a son, Oliver, 19, from her first marriage to the late Greg Lange, and daughters Evie, 11, and Adelaide, eight, with her former partner, Chris Walker.
Meanwhile, Gia is mother to an eight-year-old daughter.
It comes after the ugly feud between rival brides destroyed another dinner party during a chaotic episode of Married At First Sight on Wednesday.

Bec entered the evening in a warring mood, still stinging after her disastrous couples retreat that saw Juliette call the controversial bride ‘a dumb c***’.
Bec let everyone know she meant business straight off by turning down an apology from Juliette in front of the group during pre-dinner drinks.
‘No, no, no… it is fake,’ Bec said during a reaction interview after.
The furious bride continued: ‘I want to hold her to account in front of everyone, and ask what I have done to you to deserve to be called such awful, awful, vile names over and over.
‘To be called a dumb c*** and dumb f***ing freak over and over for no reason – what have I done to deserve that?’
Meanwhile, Gia was still fuming at her former friend after Bec’s off-colour joke about Rachel and Steve’s sex life during the retreat.
At one point, the bride told Juliette ‘not to back down’ with Bec, slamming her for ‘wanting sympathy’.
After further back and forth between Bec and Juliette, Bec finally demanded an apology from the other bride, but the attempt fell flat, as Juliette tried to rationalise her attack.

Juliette admitted later that she only said sorry so: ‘Bec would stay away from me.’
But just as things appeared to turn peaceful at the dinner table, Gia attacked Danny and Bec, after the groom attempted to give a toast to the group in the name of better times ahead.
‘Where is my apology?’ the angry bride said in reference to her long-running feud with the couple, adding: ‘Did it get lost in the mail?’
Gia’s outburst set the scene for more drama, as she revealed to Chris and Juliette that she had DMs from Bec where the bride had attacked Alissa, Rachel and Stella.
‘I could ruin everything for [Bec] right now,’ Gia said, and threatened to show the screenshots she had saved.
