“I am shocked Mika is engaged and happily in love with a man who boldly declared on National TV that he doesn’t see himself with a Black woman.”

The pair had seemingly been getting on well in the pods, but things soon changed when Jurriaan, a 32-year-old sous chef, asked Mika, 26, a functional specialist, for her surname.

Mika told him that revealing her last name would give away something about her identity, which prompted Jurriaan to press further.

He explained that her surname was "pretty important" before Mika asked whether there was a particular type of person he wouldn’t be attracted to.

Mika questioned his comments, reminding him of what he had previously said about falling for someone based on their personality.

"Babe, didn’t you say you fall for the person?" she asked.

"Yeah, that’s what matters," Jurriaan replied.

Speaking in a confessional afterwards, Mika shared her thoughts on the interaction: "It hits me pretty hard because I’ve been rejected for that in the past, that people might have had a certain prejudice against me, maybe they had a certain idea because I have a different skin colour – and that doesn’t work for me."

Mika appeared reassured by his explanation, and despite the conversation that has viewers at home lost for words, the pair ultimately chose each other to marry.

Meanwhile, another wrote: "Not 'women of color' – he said BLACK. He didn’t say Asian, he didn’t say fair-skinned but Spanish/Latin, etc.

"Let’s not soften it to 'WOC' because being anti-Black is very specific. And she’s a fool for agreeing to his proposal."
