Sweetheart is an offensive term?When I use it, I mean it affectionately. An excerpt below from Australia's Married At First Sight TV programDuring Wednesday's episode, Mike faced a viewer backlash for describing Jessika Power as an 'attractive young girl' and calling Elizabeth Sobinoff 'sweetheart'.
Elizabeth was particularly affronted by the term, responding: 'Sweetheart? Um... '
Mike, 44, later apologised but was nonetheless roasted by MAFS fans on Twitter.
'If Mike calls one more of these girls "sweetheart" I'm going to throw something,' one person tweeted.
Another wrote: 'Calling a woman sweetheart... Am I the only one that finds that condescending?'
A particularly angry viewer said that Mike, who hails from the Gold Coast, sounded like a 'stupid old fart' by using the term.
