Oh, hello there, honies!
Previously... Oh, my God!

..the whole group reunited
for one final Dinner Party...

Are you going to say hi to your
ex-wife? BLEEP that.

..where they discovered
which marriages had thrived...

Oh, my God!

..and which marriages
had floundered.

Oh! Oh!

She's by herself. Sorry.

You know you said
you were falling for me?

I don't think you were.

As old feuds reignited...

I love you so much.

I've had to watch you two being,
like, cuddly. What the BLEEP?

When you told me that you loved me
and you didn't have any feelings.

It's so deceitful to do
that to someone.

..new tensions came to a head.

All I'm asking for is for you to
tell me how you BLEEP feel.

Whatever. As a shocking rumour...

Was it the blonde or the brunette
that Jordan kissed? Jordan kissed?

Oh! ..threatened Erica and
Jordan's marriage.

No, she didn't kiss me before that.
That's what I mean!

But it was the return of
the Honesty Box...

I'm not having it any more.
I'm not having it any more.

..that fuelled the biggest
flare-up of the night.

I can't do it.
So, there is a photo, Jordan.

And you've got your arm around
her like a dickhead!

I haven't done BLEEP all wrong.

Can you get that away from me?
I don't want to do this. Please.

Tonight...

You made it!

..the group face the experts in
one final reunion ceremony.

Hello, you two.

For some, it's an outpouring
of joy and emotion.

I am falling in love with you.

You're actually the most
wonderful person I've ever met.

He is the first guy
to ever have accepted me.

And that means so much.
While others...

I'm so happy for the ones
that have found love.

..address the downfall
of their marriage.

I was just really struggling
to get that emotional connection.

I've been love-bombed by this guy.

There it is. It's always your
feelings, Adrienne.

It's always you.

It's difficult to explain.

It's a day of reckoning for Jordan.

I've not heard you once say,
"You know what?

"I BLEEP up."

And Jay seeks answers from Luke.

I've never tried
so hard in a relationship

than I have with this one.

Excuse, excuse, excuse.

I'm not chasing somebody
that doesn't want to be chased.

It's BLEEP embarrassing.

Well, welcome, everyone.

You made it! Yes, yes!

Yes.

A few months ago, you did
something truly remarkable.

You agreed to put your fate
in our hands and be matched

with a complete stranger.

Marrying someone you have never met,
with the hope of finding

true, everlasting love.

Before we dig
into the relationships,

we just wanted to say thank
you to each and every one

of you for letting yourselves
be open and vulnerable

throughout the process.

We know that this can be really
tough, but we hope, regardless

of whether or not you're sitting
here tonight with your soulmates,

that you have personally benefited
from the graft that you've put in.

Now, Arthur and Nathaniel
can't be with us today, but we wish

them both all the best.

Judging by the drama of the dinner
party last night, there's

a lot to discuss.

But before we get cracking, let's
remember where this all began.

I think I'm having a heart attack.

I'm a complete and utter
hopeless romantic.

I want to love someone intimately,
and I want to be loved

like that as well.

I want my happy-ever-after.

I want to feel secure.
That safety net.

Somebody that says, finally,
"I've got you."

I'm counting on it to work
and to last.

This is it for me.

SHE LAUGHS

Rock! Wow.

Hi. What's your name? I'm Erica.
Jordan.

I love you.

LAUGHTER

I'm so nervous.
I'm in the same boat.

I'm feeling this.

I will. That was keen.

LAUGHTER

You may share your first
kiss, or peck on the cheek.

What would you like?
Isn't it obvious?

LAUGHTER

I feel like I've found what
I've been missing.

Porscha, are you OK?
You found that a bit emotional?

Just... Just a little bit.

What was it that really got to you,
darl? Just watching it back.

Just remembering how much
hope I had on the day.

The hope? It's just... Yeah.
It's hard.

I've not always got on with everyone
here, but just watching you guys,

I'm so happy for the ones
that have found love

and found their person.

Like, it's just I've always
wanted the best for people.

Like, I wish everyone well,
and the ones that have made it,

like, honestly, so proud of you
guys. Like, rock on.

Like, you're inspirational.

Oh, no, we don't need to do that.

LAUGHTER

But really, Terence, what has this
journey taught you about yourself?

I actually feel quite proud of
myself, and actually me and Porscha.

We've gone through it. We move on.
What's happened has happened.

I've learnt for myself,
actually, do you know what,

I feel proud of the man
that I've become.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Right. Let's crack on.

First up to the couch,
Rozz and Thomas.

Woo! Yeah!

Hello, you two. Hi.

Can I say this? I have to say this.
Thomas, look at this.

We see the guns.

The bis are popping.
APPLAUSE

Really! The triceps, the tan.

He looks good!
Yeah, you do look good, Thomas.

Second compliment ever.
MEL: Second!

There is no doubt the two of you
have been on an incredible

roller-coaster. It did crash.

Oh, no. Off the rails!

But before it crashed,
there were a lot of ups and downs.

So let's take a look at
where it all began.

She seems so lovely, and I'm just
so excited to get to know her.

Yeah, he's a nice-looking guy,
but...

I don't know.

So we did consummate the marriage
last night, and then today

I just felt totally ignored.

You haven't even looked at me.

I thought, inside,
I'd feel something.

I feel terrible that
I've made him feel that way.

But I am going to keep trying.

Oh. I feel better.

Are you ready for me to come out?
Oh, I'm ready.

LAUGHTER

Yes!

I can't keep my hands off you. Let's
go.

He's an attractive guy,
and the attraction is growing.

BUZZING

Yeah? Is that...? It's what you
think it is. It's Mr Buzzer!

Wow!

Oh, my God!

Yes, Thomas!

Over the past few days, something
in my heart doesn't feel right.

Oh, no. Home stay.

I feel like I've come home
and my heart's just not in it.

You need to make a decision
whether you want to keep going,

you want to keep trying,
or you want to say, "I'm not ready."

I think now that I'm back
home, like,

I think I am checking out.

Well, look, I'll pack my bags.

I just feel gutted.

Yeah.

Oh, sorry, Thomas. Wow.

So it was tricky to begin
with, wasn't it?

You both were just
not quite connecting.

But then you found your groove,

and you found your groove!

We're watching
you at the Dinner Party.

We've got some,
"Bzzz, bzzz! Ah! Ah!"

Wow! You found it.

And the two of you did build
something really great from nothing.

And you've chosen to walk
away from that.

What happened?

I just think I freaked out.

In life generally, if anything
gets too difficult, like, I do

just want to crawl under the rock
or I just want to turn the other

way or I don't want to,
like, face it.

And...yeah.

I worry, like,
how can I change that?

Part of the process of building
that courage is actually taking

a courageous step, doing something
different from how you've done

it before - breaking a pattern.

I think until I'm truly, fully

ready to give someone 100%,
it's not fair.

Tom, Rozz's decision to end
the relationship must have hit

you for six. It would have been
easier if you were nasty,

but you're actually the most
wonderful person I've ever met,

so I can never say a bad word
about you, you know?

Thomas, do you still have
feelings for Rozz?

I do, yeah.

But...

..I don't want...

..to make her feel guilty or push
her away and lose her from my life

just because my feelings
are still there. I do still want...

..you know, a relationship,
even if it's just a friendship.

It's hard, you know. It's hard.
Yeah. It's hard. Yeah.

I don't think I rooted harder
for any two than...

..you two. It was painful to see
the demise of the relationship.

I feel worried that like...

..I won't, like, ever...

..truly, fully fall in love again.

Like, I'm worried for it, because
I'm worried that I'll never let

myself get there or, you know...

Yeah.

You know what?
You have control over that.

You've just got some work to do.

Look, there's something
really special here.

Even on that friendship level.

The two of you, the connection
between you, the fun

that you have together is really,
really special.

I am grateful that I was matched
with Thomas, because I don't think

anyone else could probably put
up with this crazy, emotionally

unstable person like me.

So thanks, Thomas.
Well, you're both still laughing.

Yeah. We have so enjoyed the two
of you and the whole journey

that you've been on.
Thank you, guys. Thank you so much.

Good luck, guys. Thank you.
I wish you both the best.

APPLAUSE

So emotional.

All right.
Next up, Erica and Jordan.

Well, obviously, last night was
rather drama-filled for

the two of you, and we will get
to that in a moment. Mm-hm.

But we would love to go
back to your Final Vows.

And what changed? What has happened
between then and now?

So, like, literally from
Final Vows up until

48 hours ago, it couldn't
have been any better.

We went on holiday.
Jordan came up to Edinburgh.

I've been to Sheffield.

We spent like two-and-a-half
weeks with each other,

like, constantly.
And it was amazing.

We literally had the best time ever.

And we've literally just been going
from strength to strength.

Up until...now.

Right. And so did you feel that
your bond, your relationship was

deepening over those last few weeks?
Oh, definitely.

We always look at each other
and just smile and like, say,

"We can't believe how
lucky we are and stuff."

And we've said some really
special things to each other.

And, um, it's...

It's such a shame
that we've come here and all

that, like, positive stuff has
kind of been overshadowed

with this, like, incident that,
like, has taken over.

So maybe we'll start with you,
Erica.

From your perspective,
what has happened.

When we went into the mixer,

there's a rumour going around
he'd kissed a girl.

Jordan was like, "I've got no
idea what they're on about."

But then, as the night goes on,
I start finding out more things,

that there's a picture of Jordan
and this girl in the back

of the taxi, which I have seen,
and they're like...

She's, like, cuddled into him.
Jordan's got his arm around her.

Later, the boys said that a girl
had kissed him and Jordan

had pushed her off of him.

Been on one night out and
I hear this, when I thought

that we were, like, so secure.

Do you feel that Jordan
has cheated on you?

If what they're saying is true,
that she kissed him

and he pushed her away, fine.

But he had the opportunity
to tell me that before coming

into the mixer, and just give me
a heads-up to know

what I'm walking into.

Instead of me having to go in there
and feel like an absolute idiot

in front of everyone.

So to be clear, from your
perspective, it's not even

so much about the kiss.

It's about his lack of openness
with you about it.

So let's go to you, Jordan,
and let's

understand your perspective.

When I found out this rumour could
surface, I should have explained,

"OK, maybe this is where
it's come from.

"A girl tried to kiss me
and I pushed her away."

The photo, it doesn't look good.
I understand that.

I understand why Erica feels the way
she does about it, but in my eyes,

I didn't kiss a girl,
because I pushed her away,

and I didn't cheat on Erica.

I missed out details...
But that wasn't a detail.

That was the truth.

You know that something
had happened there.

That was your opportunity to
then say, "This is the real story.

"I'm going to be honest
with you here."

I've not heard you once say,
"You know what?

"I've fucked up.

"I'm really, really sorry."

You haven't said that. I...

I should have gone into more detail.
I didn't.

Again, these are not excuses.

You didn't apologise yet.

I should have gone into more detail.
I didn't.

Again, these are not excuses.

You didn't apologise yet.

Er...

I would do anything for you
to trust me, and for you

to believe me and stuff.

I'm sorry that I didn't tell you
when I heard about the rumour.

And I'm sorry that I didn't...

I'm sorry that I didn't
make you aware of everything

that happened that night.

And I hope deep down that you know
that I'll never, ever hurt you.

Erica, how does that sit with you?

I mean...

Obviously, it's what...
it's what I want to hear.

Everything he's saying
is what I want to hear.

But in the past, whenever
I've given someone a second chance

in this situation, they've always
shown me why I shouldn't have.

And that's wise.

There's definitely something
about, you know, learning

from past experiences and bringing
that wisdom into new relationships.

But equally, I think it's really
important not to tar a new partner

with the same brush.

I think you're such a beautiful
couple.

You've been through so much.

It would be a shame that
this one incident

threatened this relationship.

I want to trust you.
I want to be how we were.

But you have...

..hurt me.

I'm not going to be able
to just bounce back

and be who I was with you.

Like, you have to understand that

my guard is going to be up
a bit more now.

I will need that little bit extra
from you moving forward.

Maybe not forever, but just for
a while, until I have

that trust back for you.

I know that I need to do that.

I will do whatever it takes.

You've made the decision
to accept Jordan's apology

and move on together.

And I think it's pretty
exciting, isn't it, to watch

how this relationship is
going to develop?

Thank you so much to both of you.

Thank you.

APPLAUSE

Well done. Thank you.

And next up on the couch,
Ella and JJ.

Oh, fuck. Woo!

Well, watching the two of you
together last night,

you looked pretty comfortable.

But, of course, we know that
at your Final Vows,

you both made the decision
not to stay together.

So what changed?

Are you going to go?
No, you go. OK.

I just felt we were quite different.

We were different people looking
for, like... Not looking for

different things, but, like,
we wanted different things

in the relationship.

When we're around each other,
it's flirty, like, there's kind

of always going to be that
something there.

But if I'm realistic with myself,
like, I don't think that marriage

would be right for Ella and I.

Is this the way you see it, Ella?

Obviously, there's this connection,
but it's done, and we are friends.

Yeah. OK. Well, look, clearly
there's a lot to unpack here.

The two of you came into
the experiment both matched

and married to other people.

Yeah. But you found your way
together as a connection

started to bloom.

So why don't we take
a look at how that all

came to be? Oh, no! Dear Lord!

Oh, God!

Who would you want to kiss
in the group

who isn't your partner? JJ.

Yeah, buddy.

Probably Ella. Oh!

Shit.

I feel like maybe he's still
attracted to more like the girls

he used to go for.

Ella's fit. She's my type.

The feeling's mutual. Good.

Just feels like there's this spark,
and it's more than flirting.

I'm really confused.

I'm not 100% sure where
this is going.

So you are in the friendship
zone at the moment?

Yeah. Of course,

I just want someone to, like,
make it really clear to me

that they fancy me
and they're all over me.

I've been one of the nicest guys
on this table, and looked

after this girl, and find out
that she's been trying to canoodle

with JJ down there.

Is it reciprocated with Ella?

There's like a genuine connection
and something that I feel,

and I think Ella feels, too.

You're a fucking liar,
and you're a fucking liar.

So you can both go fuck yourselves.

I don't want to be here
with anyone else.

I know. I don't blame you.
Give me a kiss.

CHEERING

Are you all right? Oh!

I wasn't expecting that.

There's like a reoccurring argument
that Ella and I have had.

It's around when Ella would
drink and become sort

of disrespectful to me.

I've been forced to ask myself
if you're the right woman for me.

I'm ready for that special person
that I can spend the rest

of my life with.

But I don't think
that person is you.

I did feel pressure to be, speak and
act a certain way to impress you.

I wanted it to be you.

But it isn't right now.

I'll never forget you and
what you've done for me,

which will change my life forever.

I may not have found the one in you,

but I have found myself
and my worth.

VOICE FALTERING: I'm going home as
a strong, independent, proud woman.

I'll always have so much
love for you.

You OK?

I'm always going to be here for you.

Thank you.

ELLA SOBS

I mean, that was obviously
very emotional

for you two, watching that.

Yeah, obviously, seeing it
back is hard.

Obviously, seeing
Ella upset is awful.

What's going on for you, Ella?

He is the first guy to ever
have accepted me.

And that means so much.

No-one else understands that,
because I've face my whole life

just being judged.
Just looked at as...

..just this trans girl,
and not ever seen for me.

And JJ is the first guy in my life
that has ever just accepted me.

Didn't give a shit, didn't care
about the label, and I think that's

where I find it hard,
like, watching that.

ELLA SOBS

It's all right.

ELLA SOBS

Thank you.

Bianca, I'm just wondering
how all of this is feeling

for you, listening to this
conversation play out tonight.

I just wish them the best.

And like, I've got no hard
feelings to them whatsoever.

And I'm just gutted for them
they didn't work out.

You've managed yourself with such
dignity and just sassy womanhood.

Thank you for being here tonight.

APPLAUSE

All right, you two.

Look, it's absolutely been
an incredibly unique journey

for the two of you, hasn't it?

Different from anyone
else's experience.

And I'm just wondering what have
each of you learnt from this process

about yourself and about
relationships?

I need to be more open
with my feelings.

I think I do keep a lot
in about how I feel.

I think a lot of people said
that I'm quite hard to read.

Yeah. OK. What about you, Ella?
What have you learned?

JJ's made me see that in
a relationship, I can be accepted.

A straight guy can, and will, be
proud enough to be like,

"Yeah, I'm with her.
That's my girl.

"She might be trans, but..."

And that is the biggest thing that
I've taken away from that.

And I've never
felt that with anyone.

And that's why I think we've got
this special connection.

I am trans, and it's a label
that I love, and it's made me

me, and I'm so special.
I deserve the best.

APPLAUSE

Well, you really should be
proud of yourself.

And we certainly are, too.

And, of course, thank you for
being the first trans woman on

Married At First Sight.
Trailblazer right there!

CHEERING

Thank you to you, JJ,
for being so open.

And I know that's hard
for you because this is one

of your personal challenges,
but we've really seen you step

up and start to grow into that.
So, good on you.

Keep doing that. Thank you, both.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Hey!

OK. Next up, Matt and Adrienne.

Come on up.

APPLAUSE

Nice.

How are we doing?
Look at that. Good.

Thank you, mate. Hello.

So, you two walk into the mixer,
and we are all shocked.

Shocked that you walked
in separately.

And then, things definitely
got heated. All right?

So, to help us understand,
take us back to Vow Renewals.

What happened from that point on?

Went back to reality.

And I remember us saying
in the apartments, you know,

we were in this amazing bubble.

And Adrienne said,
"I just don't want it to pop."

And I completely agreed.

And I was like,
"But, you know, it's going to pop."

And we've both ended up going
back home, back to our jobs

and stuff like that. And...

Yeah, it's not as easy
as we thought.

Getting back to reality and back
to work and back to the harsh truths

that you've got going on at home,
it's a lot to deal with.

Yeah, I feel like the spark just...

..diminished. But surely you knew it
was going to be tough doing this?

Yeah, obviously I knew it was going
to be tough doing this.

So, who then broke up with who?

It was mutual.

So, what... Yeah, it was mutual.
But I was willing to try.

I was absolutely smitten,
head over heels for Adrienne.

I truly wanted to make things
work on the outside.

I think the minute she got home,
she probably checked out.

No, Matt. I thought
my expectations were too high.

But your expectations...
I asked for basics.

Matt, can you be specific
about what she expects of you

that's just too high?

She expects a certain energy.

Ultimately, we have different
wants and different needs

in a relationship.

We both have different wants
and needs, but there

must be something else.

Ultimately, we have different
wants and different needs

in a relationship.

We both have different wants
and needs, but there

must be something else.

There was nothing else.
I was going through a lot at home,

I've been really struggling,
and back-to-back meetings at work.

There's all that going on.

My life is very complicated, too.

It's not a competition.

What are...? Just because it's
always your feelings, Adrienne.

It's always you.

I'm sorry, but it is.

You're trying to prove a point,
and I'm not here for that.

My life is complicated enough
without having to deal with that.

It's just...

It's just difficult to explain.

It's a shame it's ended like this.

We both had genuine feelings
for each other.

Matt. Mm-mm?

You're hurt. Yeah.

Why are you hurt?

I genuinely thought it was going
to work, and now I'm sad

and disappointed, but I've had
one of the best times.

We've had a great experience.

I wouldn't have done it with
anybody else. Mm-mm.

And we've been on
this incredible journey

and we've had an amazing experience.

And I do hope that Matt does
find somebody, because I think

he's an amazing person.

He's just not my person.

OK, fair. Well, I'll tell you what.

On that note, we'll agree with you.

Matt, you're a hell of a guy.
Cheers, man.

And we wish you all the best
going forward. Thank you.

And, Adrienne, you're amazing.
Thanks. You're amazing.

We wish you all the best
going forward.

Cheers, guys. Thank you.

APPLAUSE

Now, Laura, Arthur couldn't be
here tonight.

But from your perspective,
what would you say

has been the greatest learning
that you've experienced

throughout this process?

I've learned that, like, no matter
how much you think you want

something to work, if it's not
for the right reasons,

and if it's going to hold you back,

then you need to cut it off.

The second that I saw that
the work that I was putting into

the relationship didn't mean
as much to Arthur,

it was time to leave.

And so, yeah, I'm very proud.

And I've got my girls. Mm-mm.

Thank you. Good for you.

Now let's move on to Mark and Sean.

Sean, what will you say
that you have learned

that you'd like to take on
into your new relationships?

I definitely think I've learned
that I need to be 100% in myself

and work on myself a little bit,
and I think

I want firstly to apologise to you,

like I've probably tainted
your experience

because I wasn't ready.

And, you know, I'm not...

And I'm sorry.

Thank you. Thank you, Sean.

And, Mark, what will you take
from the process?

I was very nervous about coming in,
opening up about myself to Sean,

putting my guard down.

But actually being with these guys,
like, you're all going through it,

it's actually made it easier.

And I already feel so much happier,
more confident in myself

since leaving this.

So, I think it's really
helped me a lot.

Fabulous. Thank you, guys.

All right, next up, if we could
have Jay and Luke.

Yeah! Come on.

Welcome, guys.

Hi, guys. Welcome, welcome, welcome.

Now, I'm really saying welcome back.

Now, we know that, Luke, you were
removed from the experiment

due to your altercation with Jordan.
Yeah. Right.

And you left as a strong couple.
Yeah, yeah.

Would you say it was a strong
couple? Yeah. Yeah.

So what happened?

Do you want to say your point?

Yeah, we left and it was real
strong, like we went on holiday.

We spent some nice time together,
like we went out for really nice

dinners and it was a really, really
nice time, to be honest.

And I went up to see Jay.

That dreaded journey. Met her mum,
which I was really nervous about.

Got on really well. Yeah, I did,
your mum was really sweet, actually.

Like, she's really, really sweet.

But, for me, the turning point,
if I'm honest,

was when Jay went back to work...

..she sent me a text saying, like,
I wasn't

showing her enough, like, affection,
like I wasn't

messaging Jay enough and showing
her... Like, I wasn't attentive

enough to her.

I felt like there were no toing
and froing.

I'd ask a question.

I wouldn't get a reply for hours
on end.

OK, so you're saying that you didn't
feel like

the communication was there?
No.

I was being more attentive
than I've ever been.

I'm not asking for blood.

I'm asking for bare minimum.

Do you know, like, just back
and forth communication?

Maybe I don't communicate
as much as what you do.

I tried to have the conversation,

I told him exactly how I felt
about him and I asked him,

"Do you see a future with me?
Do you want to be with me?"

And he kept skirting around
the question, and I were like,

"I've asked you now and you're not
giving me an answer."

And he were like, "It's best
off if we're just friends."

I put a lot, a lot into this.

The fundamental reason why
we're sitting here

like this right now is
the distance.

Distance is something that I always
call BS on,

cos you can always
close the gap on distance.

If I said, Paul, if I said Tasha...
I know. ..was 20 hours away,

I bet you that man would crawl
over broken glass.

I know that's right!
I probably would.

LAUGHTER

Because that's what you do.

The distance,
that's an excuse.

The communication, the text,

that's an excuse. Excuse,
excuse, excuse.

You know what would be great?

If someone just said, "You know
what?

"This is the real reason why
I don't want to be with

"you, or this is the reason why."

So give us the why.

The distance, that's an excuse.

The communication, the text,
that's an excuse.

Excuse, excuse, excuse.

You know what would be great?

If someone just said,
"You know what?

"This is the real reason why
I don't want to be with you,

"or this is the reason why."
So give us the why.

I'll be honest, Jay basically
said that it's not working.

Do you think that she wanted
to continue

to have the relationship with you?

If I'm honest, I don't know.
You know that I want you.

She's obviously in love with you,
and she doesn't know where it's at.

But she's the one who's ended
this relationship.

Yeah, but then I went back on it
straight away and I went,

"I'm only saying this because
I don't want to get hurt."

And I were absolutely devastated.
But you said that cos

I didn't chase you. Cos I didn't
chase you. Yeah, because

you just agreed with everything
that I said.

You were like, "Yeah, no problem.
I do agree that we are better

"off being friends." It wasn't like
that at all. Yeah, you did!

We're gutted for you because I felt
like there was no fight from you.

You could have easily text back
saying, "No, Jay, I really like you.

"I want to make this work."

I think sometimes people can say
things and maybe there's that hope

there that their partner will say,
"But, no, you mean the world to me.

"Like, I really want this to work."

What stopped you from saying,
"I don't want to lose you"?

Well, I didn't say them words,
no, but...

I'm just getting the vibe
that you're not as into me as much

as what I'm into you.

Is that really true, Luke?

What? That...? Is Jay more into you
than you are into her?

100% not.

If anything, I actually thought
I was more into her than

she was into me, if I had to
choose someone. I knew

she's been into me.

But then when she ended
it, I'm like...

..was she ever into me?

Jay, is it fair to say that you
didn't really want to end

it with him? No, I didn't.

She didn't.

How many times have I said,
"I want to be with you"?

Loads of times. You've never
said, "I want to be with you".

You've never said that. You said,
"I'm willing to make it work

"and give it a try."

I have said to you I've wanted
to be with you.

I've said that.

You've never said... I honestly
believe you block things out.

I honestly believe you block things.
I don't. I don't block things out.

You just hear what you
think you're hearing.

No. Because I honestly believe
I've never tried so hard,

on my mother's life,
in a relationship

than I have with this one.
Never. Never.

That's how I feel.

Let's stop talking about past tense.

Let's talk about right now,
this moment.

Is there any fight left?

No. None? I'm done now.

There you go.

One thing that's clear as day
to all of us here

is she still has feelings for you.

It's not going to work
cos I can't change how I am.

I'm not that sort of guy,

and that would be changing me
to do that. Right.

And that's what you should do.
That's what we do.

That's what maturity is.

Yeah. That's what manhood is, right?

It's about constantly changing,
constantly becoming better.

The question is - do you want
to change?

You have an opportunity to choose.

Am I going to stay Luke? Stagnant,
this is who I am.

Or am I going to choose Luke,
I'm going to grow,

I'm going to evolve, right?
I'm going to become better.

I'll be honest, I ain't changing
for no-one.

I've changed as much
as I could change.

I feel like there's no fight in you.
There's nothing, like...

But there weren't before. I just
feel like there has never been

any fight in you. I'll be honest...

I'm not chasing somebody that
doesn't want to be chased.

It's fucking embarrassing.

We won't resolve this.

You two not being together
is a shock.

And I believe that what we did
is we delivered someone

who was exactly the person
that you needed.

It just wasn't realised.

Luke, I think you didn't mean
what you just said in terms of,

"I'm not going to change for
anyone." You have to.

You will change.
You will become better.

We all need to become better.

Jay, thank you.

Thanks for having me, guys. You may
not feel it, but I guarantee,

you will reflect back
on this moment.

You will be appreciative of
the lessons that you've learned.

And on top of that, look at all
the friends you've made.

We love you. Friends for life.

Come here, my baby girl.

It's just sad.

You know, you think that you...

Yeah.

It's just sad, cos I know that
I'm not going to see him again.

OK, next up to the couch,
Peggy and Georges.

Right, let's do this. Come on, you.

Hello, beautiful couple. Hello.
Hello. Hello, looking amazing.

Thank you. So are you. Thank you.

Before we chat a little bit
about what's been going

on between the two of you,
let's have a look at your journey.

I'm going to get married
to a stranger.

Up your fucking bollocks you are.

Hello. You look... Wow.

So do you. Oh, my God,
you're just my type.

Mummy!

My family are number one,
and they need to approve

of my husband.
It's that simple, really.

I can't see any future.

I'm not buying it, babe. Sorry.

It's clear my mum has some concerns.
Yep.

And my mum is always right.

I'm putting everything on
the line for you.

Everything.

Peggy, the future does not
work without you.

Looking to the future,
I see a successful marriage.

A family, two kids and happiness.

I may not trust easily,
but I trust myself.

And I also trust that you'll prove
everyone who doubts you wrong.

Come here.

Oh!

How are you both feeling
seeing that?

Throughout the experiment,
I thought that we would never work.

But watching the Vow Renewals,

I feel exactly the same as I did,
if not stronger...

..now than on that day.

It confirms to me that what
we have is special.

And a lot of people give up
at the first hurdle.

And in life, it's not about
having a perfect partner,

it's about finding someone that
you're willing to make it work with.

And I want to make it
work with Peggy.

So, yeah, going back to that,
it was incredible, really.

I think what's really clear,
then, is that you're in

a really great place. Has your
family kind of embraced Georges now?

My mum had a very differing
opinion about Georges.

And that was apparent during
Home Stay, and I kind of felt

like I went against my family.

But I trusted what I see in Georges

and what I believe that Georges
is as a person.

Now they love him, they love him.

And, yeah, he is the...
Georges' face.

Approval. Yeah, I think, you know,
my nieces have my brother,

but I think Georges is their
favourite uncle. Aw.

So, yeah, he's... Yeah. Yeah.

Good start. A really good start.

And Georges, what has that been
like for you to be accepted

by Peggy's family?

Very, very important, first of all,

cos I know how much
Peggy's family means to her.

And I want to make sure
I make that effort.

But, like, with Peggy,
it's effortless

cos I want to do it, and it's easy.

You know, I want to put in the time

to get to know her family because
it's everything to her.

Yeah, you stayed at mine since.

And my mum's cooked for him,
you know, we're on the sofa

watching programmes with my mum
with a blanket on, you know?

THEY LAUGH
Yeah.

So, what would you say is
the next step for the two of you?

Where does this relationship go?

I mean, I'd quite like to move in
together at some point.

You know? That has to be
the next step for us.

It has to be the next step.

Yeah, be able to spend more
time together. Yeah, I think...

It doesn't scare me any more.
It doesn't scare you? No.

I feel safe with Georges.

Georges is my biggest supporter,

and I've never had that with
any other partner.

They've always tried to put me down,

whereas Georges tries to pick me up,
where he's so confident in himself.

He's like, yeah, it's lovely.

Georges, I've seen you go
from boy to man,

from immature to mature.

And maturity, to me, is when your
words match your actions.

And your words throughout
this experiment

have matched your actions.

And I think we've seen you, Peggy,

you've gone from an almost
co-dependent relationship

with your family,
to now you stand alone. Yes.

Also, what we've seen is how
a good woman inspires a good man.

You know what I mean?
That's what we've seen right here!

Very true! And I like that.

I totally agree.

I do feel very grateful for
what Georges and I have found,

and super grateful for you
guys finding us.

Second that motion. Yes!
I am falling in love with you.

And I just can't wait to be in love

for the first and only time
with you.

Thank you, babe.

Thank you guys.
We wish you all the best.

Thank you very much guys.
Thank you. Thank you.

Nice.

APPLAUSE

Thank you.

Thank you, babe.

You OK? Yeah. Good.

Fucking hell, that video got me.

OK, next up, Brad and Shona.

Oh.

Good to see the two of you.
And you guys. Good to see.

Now, of course,
the last time we saw you,

there were some negative things
going on in the relationship.

And so, it was decided
that you would leave.

But I think what's really clear
is that there was a really strong

physical connection
between the two of you.

So, help us to understand what
happened after you left

in the relationship.

Physically, it was just magic.

You know, I was infatuated by her,

but I was just really struggling to
get that emotional connection.

I've tried, and I wanted it
to run its course,

to give it the opportunity
to try and find that

without just cutting it off.

And then, yeah,
so we just ended up...

We separated, didn't we?

That's it really.

And Brad, was it yourself
that ended the relationship?

No, it was mutual on it, wasn't it?
It was literally...

So, I remember I was in my bedroom.

Bradley rang me - you were on a
night out, weren't you, a bit drunk.

He was like, "Shona, my feelings
for you are so mad."

But I think I told you
I loved you too soon.

I didn't love you, I lust you.

The two of you did say that you
loved each other quite early on.

Yeah. I think this is quite ironic,

because Bradley has told me,
obviously, that it was lust.

But also, what I'm finding quite
difficult to comprehend

is that Bradley said that he never,
ever had any emotional attachment

to me whatsoever.

Surely there's some
kind of feeling inside.

Sometimes it can be blinding,
when the physical side

of it's that strong.

You know, you can get carried
away with it very easily.

And I thought I just needed
to be honest, really.

I just find it very deceitful
because he was like, "My wife,

"my beautiful wife," introducing
me to everyone in Grimsby.

"Love of my life,"
all this bullshit.

And then, literally was
belittling me, patronising me.

Just, like, listing things that
he doesn't like about me,

but then, telling me how
much he loves me.

And I felt, if I'm truly honest,
like, you were putting on a show

in the experiment. OK.

And I was like, "Oh, my God,
I've been love-bombed by this guy."

And he's, like,
literally just been...

There it is. Yeah. Yeah.

I'm so glad you came to
that realisation. Yeah.

That's exactly what this has been.
Let's call it for what it is.

It was textbook love-bomb.

Intense feelings of love followed
by you being devalued, right?

And it always stems from someone
who's not necessarily narcissistic,

but someone who's insecure.
Yeah, yeah.

No, definitely, yeah.

I think that you just have an
overly-inflated view

of your emotional intelligence.

And then, what you do
is you weaponise it.

You show up with good intention...

..but the actions are terrible.

They're terrible.

I think that you just have
an overly-inflated view

of your emotional intelligence.

And then, what you do is you
weaponise it.

You show up with good intention...

..but the actions are terrible.

They're terrible.

And, with respect, Brad...

..you're a smart guy.

You have emotional intelligence.

This is the opportunity
to self-reflect.

Do you have any thoughts about
what both Paul and Mel

have said there?

No, just agree, really, and
completely take it on board,

and it's something for me
to work with,

d'you know what I mean? So, yeah.

I respect her as a person,
and I do want to be friends.

I do wish Bradley all the love
in the world.

He has a good heart,
like, a really good heart.

But I don't want to be your friend,

because there's that line
which is like unhealthy.

If the option was there to be
friends, then great.

But if you don't want to,
that's also fine.

Like, I respect that.

WHISPERS: Don't need more friends.

Yeah, she's like, "I don't need any
more friends." Got loads of friends.

For me, I think you guys had all
the recipe for success.

You just didn't harness it right.

And I think you too can look so,
so good together,

but be so wrong for each other.

And I actually am so glad that you,
Shona, have decided not

to be friends, because you're
not going to be friends.

Y-You're not.

I was ignoring all the red flags.

And then, now I've removed
myself from the situation,

I feel a million times better.

I feel like I'm me again.

Never, ever, ever again
will I ignore red flags.

And that's, like, such a journey
that I've been on, and...

And why do you think it was
that you ignored the red flags?

I really wanted this to work.

I was like, "I'm going to give
this everything I've got.

Yeah. Yeah. 100%.

And you came in with a lot of hope.
Oh, my God, so much hope.

So much optimism.
SHE CHUCKLES

Yeah. Yeah.

It really is quite refreshing,
Shona, to see that you're really

creating a boundary for yourself.

"Sex might've been good,
but I'm not going there again."

Have loads of good sex
with someone else.

THEY LAUGH

Look, the two of you have been on
an incredible journey together,

and my sense is that things
have happened between you

that have created some incredible
moments of self-awareness.

And I think that's really,
really powerful, and really want

both of you to take that away
into your next relationship.

Thank you both so much for coming
into this with your whole selves.

Yeah, cheers, guys. We send you
with love to your next relationship.

Thank you very much.
Thank you guys. All the best.

All right, last up here
on the couch,

Tasha and Paul.

Come on up!

Good to see you both.

Now, before we find out
what's happened to you two since

leaving the experiment,
can we remind ourselves of...

Yes, we can, Tasha!

..of your Married At First Sight
love story.

Take a look right over here.
SHE SCREAMS

THEY CHEER

SHE LAUGHS

Oh, my gosh. What's your name?

My name's Paul.
Nice to meet you. I'm Tasha.

Nice to meet you, Tasha.

When I saw her smiling,
my nerves just went away.

I just felt so calm.

It was wild.

Paul, I give you this ring
as a symbol of our commitment

to each other.

HE WHISPERS

Argh!

THEY LAUGH

I think I've got too small...

It's on!

It is the wrong hand.
It's the wrong hand? Oh!

THEY LAUGH

Paul is amazing.

I've got so much to be happy
about right now.

SHE LAUGHS

I've never, ever experienced
anything like this.

I'm lost for words.

You actually look so good.
Thank you, so do you.

I can dress up somewhat for once.

Please don't break it. Ha!

LOUD SNAP
Oh, shit!

So, you're falling for me?

Yeah!

Give me a kiss, then!

THEY LAUGH

I'm falling in love with Tasha.

OK, OK!

THEY CHEER

I choose you now,

tomorrow, and forever.

Tasha, I love you,

and I can't wait to continue
our journey together.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, it was so nice!

Tasha, how does it feel
watching that?

I just feel a whole heap
of emotions right now.

Like, we've come a long way,
a very long way, and changed

each other in good ways.

And just seeing that, it's put
a smile on my face, put it that way.

So now, what happened
after leaving?

I stayed at yours...
Came up to Leeds for a bit.

Yeah, had a good time in Leeds.
Then went on holiday.

Tasha dropped the L-bomb.

And I know she gets a bit cranky,
so I was like,

"I'm going to stay calm."

I'll just sit there, face forward,
not make her feel awkward -

but in my head, I was screaming
and she was like,

"You can celebrate a bit."
I was like, "Yeah!"

So, I was buzzing, yeah.

How did it feel to be able to say
something so important to someone?

It felt right.

And that's why I said it.

It didn't feel right at Vows,

cos I needed to see how Paul and I
were outside of the experiment

for me to be confident enough
to address my feelings.

But in that moment...
it was the right moment.

So, when you think about the future,

what does the future hold,
you think, for the two of you?

Ooh. Well, Paul.

Erm, probably us moving somewhere,
isn't it?

Moving in is one thing.

Kids still on the table?

Yeah, definitely. Definitely?
All right, well.

THEY LAUGH

Definitely, definitely. OK.

Tash, what would you say
that you've really learned?

Whether it was in the experiment,
or once you'd left?

Probably that I can deal with
my emotions, and I don't...

..need to be this big, loud,
bad character all the time.

I can be vulnerable, I can be
emotional, and I can open up to

the people I love.

So, they have been the best
supporters from day one.

Because it seems like the
entire group has embraced you.

And the reason why is because it
was so clear that you two

were going to make it.

For me, they've definitely
been great.

Like, say I've had issues.
I could go to them guys.

Poor Thomas has heard me,
like, rant and rave,

or even JJ, just ramble on.

It's good to have that
support system.

This is clearly an example of
two people who feel safe

and secure with their partner.

And I think this is the beauty
of love, because this is love.

There's - this is undoubtedly love.

And what love does to you is it
allows you to become your best self.

And this is what we're seeing.

You're becoming your best selves
as a result of trusting each other.

Smashing it. Yes.
THEY LAUGH

Oh, my God. Yeah, you are!

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, I tell you,
it's your last opportunity.

Last up here on the couch.

Is there anything that you
would like to say?

I just want to say thank you
for accepting me for me,

and loving me for me, and you just
appreciating me as a person.

Never had someone that's
respected me the way you do.

And I just want to let you know
I appreciate you.

Well, that was actually nice.
Yes. It was beautiful.

Er...oh, I don't know how
to go after that one.

I think it's the first time
I'm struggling to talk.

But I want to say, like,
you've actually been amazing,

and I'm glad you've been
willing to change.

Not even change, like...
Compromise. ..compromise.

And I think you've helped me see
things in different ways.

You do it because you care about me,
and that you like me, and,

yes, we have bickers,
but it's just because

we actually love each other.

You want the best for me,
and want me to improve.

And I'm happy you've done
that for me.

So, you've been amazing.

Yes. Thanks. Yes.

Nice.

APPLAUSE

So, Tasha, Paul, what we've
just witnessed, I think,

is a masterclass in a relationship.

Thank you for inspiring us.

Thank you for giving us hope.

And thank you for showing us what
the power of love looks like.

Thank you, guys.
Thank you, you guys.

Thank you.
APPLAUSE

Well, guys, that's it!

What a conclusion to an amazing
experiment with you all.

We want to thank you again for
your honesty, for your commitment,

and your hard work.

Now, this process is no picnic,

but we hope the support that you've
experienced and the lessons

that you've learned
continue on your paths

on the outside world.

We're wishing you all of
the luck in the world.

Our class of 2023!

One time for you all, yes!
CHEERING
