All language subtitles for Married At First Sight UK S10E30 (5 Nov 2025) - UKTV5 (720p, h264)

I'm staying.

Previously. I've chosen to stay. At the
final commitment ceremony, the strongest

bonds were revealed.

I decided to stay.

I can't imagine my life without you.
Stay.

But behind the smiles, doubts remained.

Alicia is 100 % into you and you're 80 %
into her.

Probably you.

Throughout the relationship, we have had
a lot of unnecessary drama.

Just like a dagger to the heart.

Well, for April and Leo... I don't know
you.

How is that possible? In seven weeks,
how do I not know you?

The cracks finally became too big to
ignore.

As sad as it is.

And an explosive accusation... I found
out he was busy swiping on a dating app.

That is Stephen's profile, which is
verified.

That is not me.

It's your fate. I had feelings for you.
My feelings were real. Marked the brutal

collapse of Nellie and Stephen's
marriage.

Leave. And leave as well.

I'm so gutted. It's just not how I
wanted it to end.

Tonight. Oh, my God.

Bye. The couple head off on their final
date.

This is stunning.

For some, it's a fairy tale come to
life.

The connection we had instantly is the
same connection that we have now.

But for others, the magic fades as
reality sets in.

And a

rollercoaster of emotions... I hate it.
We're just not on the same page.

...sends Leisha and Reece's marriage
completely off the rails.

I was trying to be nice to you. You were
in a mood.

I don't know if I'm the one for Leisha.
Am I or not?

Is that it for us?

I don't know what else you need from me.

Are you

ready for today? Yeah.

The remaining couples are heading off on
their final date.

I've got a surprise for you today.

I'm feeling really excited about Abby
and I's final date. I really like

surprising Abby.

So I've written her a letter. It just
adds to the air of mystique. I think

Abby will be so pleased with where I've
chosen to go today.

I just can't wait for the most fantastic
day with my wife.

Hello! Before leaving on her date with
Rhys, Leisha wants to reflect on last

night's commitment ceremony.

How are you?

Good.

Yesterday's commitment ceremony was
tough.

I do feel a little bit deflated about
the 80 to 100 comment. I just need a

little bit of advice.

When you know you're at 100 and they're
just not quite there yet, it's a bit of

a bitter pill to swallow.

It does hurt.

Obviously, last night I got emotional.

Yeah. On the couch.

About the 80 to 100.

It was just, I don't know, it just felt
like a bit of a realisation.

I was just kind of like, oh.

Yeah. Do you know, he's not gave me the
reassurance that I need.

to be like, yeah, no, we're going to
work.

I know at that moment you wanted him to
be like, yes, like, at the same level as

you, but, like, his feelings have grown
massively and they will continue to

grow. I'm just scared that when we leave
here, it will regress back.

So, like, when we're here, we're growing
every week because we're always

together and I feel like when we leave,
like, if you're going to stay 80%, I

feel like I'm giving somebody my heart
and soul and they could easily...

crush it if they wanted to I just need
to hear a little bit of reassurance to

know that he does see a future with me
and that when we do end this experiment

that it isn't the end of the road for us
I don't really know what to do because

I am I do I do love him like I can't

now imagine my life without him

But I'm scared to tell him because
obviously I know that I'm probably not

to hear it back.

You guys just take it at different
paces. We've known from the beginning to

wind, fall, force. I think with Ruth, he
just takes that much slower. It doesn't

mean he's not going to get there.

Because obviously he doesn't like
pressure.

But I think by you saying you love
someone, that's not putting pressure on

You're just expressing how you feel.

I'm just scared because I feel like once
you say it, then he's got full control

of my heart.

Because I said it. Really hoping when
the words come out of my mouth that Rhys

respects my heart.

I just hope he reassures me that he does
see potentially falling in love with

me. Am I going to get reassurance? I
don't know.

I love this date idea, by the way. Do
you?

Well done, you.

I've organised these dates today because
me and Leah are always in better

spirits when we're having a fun date.
She's always wanted to do pottery, so I

thought, what a better place to take her
for our final date.

Why is yours moving round like it's
about to shoot up?

Yours is like, I don't want to be here,
I don't want to be here.

That's really on the wonk, that.

I feel like we need this, don't we?

Yeah, I like having more fun dates.

It sort of, like, makes you realise,
like, wow, we're still here.

I do always enjoy your company, though.

Yeah, same.

I'm feeling a little bit up and down
about the relationship after the

ceremony. Lee and I both know there's a
lot more than friendship there, but

there's always a massive thing around
trust issues, and I think that's

we really need to nail down and be
serious about over the next few days.

Yours is lovely.

I've given it a good go.

I think I need help.

Yeah.

Let me get down there.

Let me get... I'll sit on your knee. Go
on then. Shall I?

That's it.

That's it.

Right, and get your thumbs in.

Oh, yeah.

Despite the fun that me and Leah have
had today, I am still questioning the

longevity of our relationship and what's
going to happen beyond the experiment.

When we have these moments, it does make
me feel really happy to be in the

situation that we're in.

Oh, sorry.

But it's just, if that's enough.

Where do you think I'm taking you?

Hopefully somewhere with animals.

There's a couple of pigeons, if that
helps.

I cannot believe this is mine and Rhys'
final date in the experiment.

Hopefully it's something very thoughtful
and romantic. I'm excited to find out.

Have a look. Voila.

Where are we?

The ping pong.

Oh.

What do you reckon?

Yes.

He took me to a theme park.

It just wasn't what I was expecting.

I feel a little bit gutted.

Oh, God.

I'm getting frustrated because I feel
like, you know, what I need from Rhys is

just effort.

You know, he... We're just not on the
same page, and I'm scared that when we

leave this experiment, it's going to be
me making all the effort and me getting

hurt at the same time.

Oh, no.

Don't want to do that one. You'll be all
right. I'll be silly.

I don't know.

She ain't impressed at all.

I don't see the problem.

That's gorgeous.

I'm so excited. I can't wait to see what
John has in store for me today.

Me and John have had such an incredible
journey.

It's just going to be so nice to reflect
on how much growth we've had and how we

found the one.

I'm really excited for this final date
with Abby. I put a lot of planning into

this.

I love the bones of her. I'm just hoping
that at the end of our date, Abby

understands how much she means to me.

I just thought our marriage is such a
fairy tale that it would be fitting to

the final date at a palace. Oh, I love
that.

Thank you so much. This is beyond any
expectation I had.

You are my prince charming.

This is something else. This is
incredible.

Being here today at a palace on our
final date, it is a dream come true.

Isn't this beautiful?

Look at that view.

I know, right?

It's the perfect place.

I had to pull out all of the stops for a
final date.

Well, you definitely did.

It's gorgeous.

And look at this tree here.

It's called the Cedar of Lebanon.

Really? Yeah.

Seriously? Yeah.

It's on the Lebanese flag.

It is. Yeah, yeah. Oh, that's
incredible.

Oh, is that why you picked it here?

Yeah.

Oh, God, I love that.

I want you to know that I recognise your
Lebanese heritage.

Oh, that's so thoughtful.

I want to engrave our initials on it,
but I don't think that would be allowed.

Just when I think I can't love you
anymore, I do.

I'm just excited to do life with you. I
came here wanting to find, you know, my

forever person.

And, you know, I have found you.

And that just makes me the happiest
woman in the world.

Not. I did have high hopes for today,
but it hasn't gone to plan.

You've got the answer.

Yeah.

Yeah. It's been a frosty atmosphere
because he took me to a theme park. It's

just not for me at all. I just want a
little bit more of an effort from me.

I feel like I'm just not good enough.

Are we just going to ruin the whole day
then?

You're acting, like, horrible towards
me.

What are you talking about? It's you
because you're in a fucking mood.

Not nice. You're the one who started it,
Leisha, actually. I was trying to be

nice to you.

Honestly, she's absolutely talking a
load of shit.

I'm not making an effort.

I don't even really know what I need to
do to reassure her now, like. She's

raring me because I'm not the person who
she wanted me to be. I can't help that.

I'm just getting a bit sick of, like,
just all this drama.

Everything just gets blown out of
proportion.

If it's going to be an atmosphere all
day, I'm just going to go, because I

it. I fucking hate it. I hate it.

And you're the one who caused it. You're
doing it.

I'm just, no, I'm just worried that when
we leave here, like, are you going to

leave here and then, like... And then,
like, what?

Like, is that it for us?

No.

Any of your feelings, like, your
feelings, do you want it to end, or what

want from this?

But I want it to end.

Yeah. Do you?

Well, obviously I fucking don't. Of
course I bloody don't.

I don't understand, like, what I'm
doing. It's like not allowing you to

You obviously move at a different pace
to me.

Let's not put this on me. Let's just
talk about you.

Let's not just put it on me because I'm
happy with my pace. I don't know what

else you need from me.

See, like, if we're not on the same page
when we leave here or if the feelings

aren't as strong, it is a massive
commitment.

The only way it would work is if, like,
you were, like, really strong feelings

for me.

Because if not, it's too easy just to be
like, oh, well, do you know what, I'll

just go with somebody that, like, lives
closer.

It feels like there's pressure getting
added because you're coming to an end.

What she wants me to do is just not how
I would be.

Like, I can feel that extra pressure
getting piled on like it was in the

I don't know if I'm the one for Leisha.
If she's saying she needs more than what

I'm giving her, am I enough?

I can't. We have these doubts all the
time. I've been honest with you. I

haven't, like, said you no bullshit.

But listen, like, there's things that do
make me think, do I want that for the

rest of my life?

My worry is that the more arguments we
have, the more it pushes Bruce away and

he'll just leave me at the end of this
process.

I just thought I'd feel more secure at
this point, and I just feel like he was

on the road. I don't feel secure at
home.

When you really like someone, it's just
normal.

It's the same thing. It's the same path.

You feel like you just keep pushing them
away. You don't really know what to do.

I am going to push them away. Yeah, I'm
going to push them away.

Love this.

Shall we get the door for you? Thank
you, my honey.

The final dates are in full swing.

Oh, my God. We're going up. There you
go. And Bailey has organised a surprise

outing for Rebecca.

What is it?

It's a slide.

I love slides. Oh, God, it's harder than
I thought, though.

Got an action -packed day planned for
Beck.

I've booked the orbit, you can see, all
across London.

And then they've got the world's biggest
slide.

You don't like it? I know, I'm panicking
now.

Come on, let's go. All right, come on.

Let's have loads of fun, loads of laughs
and loads of being silly.

I'm excited for this. Oh, these steps
are a bit... They're see -through.

Oh, that's so weird. I'm absolutely
terrified of heights.

Does that not freak you out a little
bit? Look, we're about 500 foot in the

Look. It's fine. Oh, no, that's weird.

Don't know why I've booked this.

My legs have absolutely gone.

They're like jelly.

God, look how high it is.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Babe.

Mate, I'm all right, actually. I'll
probably just lay up here again.

All I can hear is her screaming like
she's being murdered.

Oh, my God.

My bottle was absolutely gone.

Oh, my God. Honestly, it was comedy
gold.

Oh, my God.

Are you okay?

No.

This date has been so much fun, so if
you've got nothing planned for the rest

the day, that's fine by me, because I've
had such a good time this morning.

I loved it.

I'm not okay.

Three cheers to the highs and the lows.

Yep. Cheers to that.

This whole marriage has been a
rollercoaster.

Yeah, it's been a journey. I'm really
looking forward to my final date with

Leah. It's like our last chance to be
able to have some serious conversations

about our future moving forward. There
are so many positives to me and Leah and

we're having so much fun at the moment,
but I know that there's bigger questions

that need to be answered.

You know what the mad thing is about me
and you? In this experiment, we've been

through so many challenges, but we
somehow end up coming out OK at the end

it. But I think now we need to try and
really be honest with ourselves.

I think all the reasons we have been
matched are so aligned.

We are so aligned, yeah.

Do we align enough to take it to the
outside world?

Difference. Elements of the experiment
have been really difficult for us.

But then we've had the best homestay.
That's bummed my head again about me and

you because I'm like, there are so many
reasons here why we do have so much

potential.

Let's think about our feelings. If we
were to depart each other tonight, go

separate ways, how would you feel?

I would be gutted because I feel like I
would really miss you.

We'd both regret it. Yeah, I do think
I'd regret it.

I think the big question for us now is,
do you 100 % trust me?

I mean, I know that would be something
that we would need. I feel like I'd be

lying if I said yes.

I don't 100 % trust you.

If it was going to work on the outside
world, I'd need you to 100 % trust me.

Yeah, you need that.

Do you think you'll ever trust me?

I don't definitely know the answer to
that question.

Where do I go from here?

It's really hard because there is
feeling there. There is a lot of

but there has to be trust there.

I'm trying to be patient with her.

I've been wearing me down.

Is it going to work?

I don't know.

Oh, what a beautiful setting.

I love how we've matched the aesthetics
of the house. Did you plan it as well?

It looks beautiful tonight to sit down
with my wife and think about how far

we've come and then thinking about the
future just feels so good.

I've just loved every single part of
this process.

It's just been so easy and it's just
been so natural from, yeah, the

to then we have the homestays as well.

Homestays made me realise about...

being excited for the end of the
experiment.

You know, like, we were so good in each
other's home environment.

I do agree. Like, I feel like our lives
just kind of matched effortlessly.

You know, I do feel so comfortable in
Bournemouth. I want you to feel really

comfortable in North Wales.

And yes, of course, we will have to make
a decision on where we finally settle

down because, you know, we want the
house, we want the children, we want the

pets. And, you know, that can't happen
in both of our little apartments. It

needs to happen in our family home.

We all make that decision together.

This is the next step.

If this is what can happen in a short
space of time, imagine what we can do in

lifetime. I know.

I'm so glad I'm doing it with you.

Thank you for the most magical day. I
love you. I love you too.

Oh good, a dark space.

You know how much I love them.

Alright.

Hi. Hello.

I love Keir. From the moment I met him,
he made it easy to fall in love with

him. And today, I have a surprise for
Keir. He's going to be very special. I

think it's the perfect way to end Final
Date.

Let's see if he likes it.

Stop!

Don't! Don't!

Look at it.

Hello.

I'm so nervous.

Hi, David,

nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

How are you? Good.

Very, very, very nervous.

I can't shake you off. Sorry.

You got this, you got this, you got
this.

We're good, we're good. We're dancing
off, we're dancing off.

Yeah, we got this. You're fantastic.

All fairy tales end with happily ever
after.

I guess we're meant to live our own ever
after now.

And like the rest of those fairy tales,
we have no idea what happens next.

For something great to happen, we must
close our eyes and jump.

But today, that's what we're here to do,
committing to staying together through

and through.

Just know that I will hold your hand
right up to the edge and won't let go as

dive into the journey ahead.

Do you want a high five there, or can I
kiss you?

I got

you,

I got you, I got you, I got you.

I feel like a princess.

How happy we are.

Come in.

Shall I leave?

I'm enjoying you.

Same. A lot. Yeah. Yeah. 100%. Yeah.
Yeah, we do.

Have we changed?

No, we're the same.

We've grown and we understand each other
more in conflict and stuff, but the

connection we had instantly at meeting
is the same connection that we have now.

Yeah.

It means everything that David has done
this for me. I could not be prouder of

the progress David and I have made.
Despite going through highs and lows in

relationship, we're still the same
couple we were the first day we met. I

have found my person, and we're going to
have a really, really, really good life

together. This being our last date
together in the experiment,

I have got you a gift.

Okay.

What?

Where did you get me?

Shall I wait for you to open it and then
explain?

Okay.

Oh, my God, we adopted an otter!

So, obviously...

It was a really special experience for
us to feed the otters together.

So what better way to end the final date
than with adopting two otters.

Do you know their names?

Kiwi and Otters.

Oh, my God.

I absolutely love this gift. It's
something that's connected us so much

It's really cute.

Just like me and Kiwi.

This is just the beginning of him.

I'm excited to meet these women and
start life together.

Yeah. We'll have lots of new stuff.

Yeah. Yeah.

Whatever life throws our way, we'll fix
it together.

Today was very, very important.

It taught me a lot about my relationship
with Kia.

Kia is my family.

Today just meant it even more.

that me and Kia are supposed to be
together.

This day is going to stay in my mind for
the rest of my life.

Did you have a good day today? It was
all right. What do you reckon?

After their argument at the theme park,
Leisha and Rhys are out on a dinner

date.

This morning at the theme park, it was a
bit rocky. It kind of drained me a

little bit, to be honest.

If we row again tonight, then it will
put that to my head.

I hate drama so much.

They don't want to give you drama. Like,
I don't like drama. I'm not a drama

person.

Today has been one of the most emotional
days.

I am feeling a little bit apprehensive
of the conversation that we're going to

have tonight at dinner, but I am just
going to be open and honest and

with Rhys, and hopefully that pays off.

How are your feelings towards me now?

We obviously, we have been trying,
but...

I don't know, we're obviously doing
something wrong. I don't really know

the answer is.

Yeah.

Unless we can actually get over that
hurdle, I wouldn't be able to continue

relationship, going through life like
that. I couldn't do it.

For me, it's like building that trust.

I think once the trust is there, anybody
that I've dated or been with... The

more secure they make me feel, the less
pressure I've put on it because I feel

like, oh, well, I know that I'm all
right.

Like, I know he's not going to run off.

I don't think that is it. It's not
because you think I'm going to run off

you cause these dramas. I'm feeling
insecure, though, but that's where it

from. It does come from that because
we've had big discussions. We've been

trapped in an apartment with each other
for the last God knows how long. It's

not like I'm going to run off.

But it's coming towards the end now.

Yeah, but it's not like this isn't just
coming up towards the end. We've had it

for a while.

I do deserve somebody that makes me feel
like I'm the number one and I'm their

priority always.

Would you not think I'm giving you
enough?

No.

You never really tell me your actual
feelings.

I want to know how you actually feel
about me. Like, I want to know your deep

-down intention.

Me saying to you, after the experiment,
I want to continue our relationship,

would you need more than that?

Yeah.

I just hope that I am the person that
you want, but I feel like I'm maybe not.

I hope Ruth's feelings are strong enough
because I love this boy. I just need

honest and open communication.

It is only Ruth that can push things
forward.

If he doesn't tell me that he wants to
make this work, I honestly don't know

what I'm gonna do.

I just hope that I am the person that
you want, but I feel like I'm maybe

not.

Of course, like...

I want to keep going with you, but them
feelings are not there yet.

What would you say until you get to that
part where you say, oh, listen, I love

you, or whatever? Just be like, I've got
really strong feelings for you.

I would definitely... I may not have
said I've got really strong feelings for

you, I haven't said that, but I said to
you, I've got feelings for you.

Yeah. That's me telling you how I, like,
at what stage I am.

I express with actions rather than
words. I know you do.

Like, I've said to you, I don't want to
come visit you, you come visit me.

We've discussed it, we've made plans
about it.

I am just a bit panicked by it, but,
like, now I've got the reassurance, now

that is enough.

Is it enough? It is enough. Are you sure
you don't need to be reassured

tomorrow? No.

Are you sure?

Yeah. OK.

It's just, obviously, I can't help but
have those emotions, and it's only

because I care about you so much.

Sometimes I just want to be given the
reassurance that I need.

However, I need to respect the fact that
Rhys just isn't like that, and the less

pressure I put on him, the more things
will just flourish.

Let me... OK,

let's see.

Lovely.

Oh!

Oh! Oh, husband and wife!

Oh, I love that!

Oh, that is my favourite photo of us.

Oh, thank you so much. I love that.

That is so cute.

Risha! Yeah.

That is so cute. Look at that.

I love that.

I've had, like, the best experience with
you. You're everything I ask for. Like,

that was so important for me, to find
someone that was, like, driven, who's

lazy, somebody who's, like, sporty,
adventurous, and just truly wanted to,

like, start a family and have, like, a
partnership.

Ah. And just, yeah, I feel like this
whole experience wouldn't be the same if

wasn't for you.

And you. You've made the experience for
me so special. So we're so lucky to

have, like, had each other.

You're perfect in my eyes.

And, yeah, I just... Like, I do
obviously love you.

It's very brave of you to say that.

It takes some balls to come out and say
it to me.

I've told you, I've got very strong
feelings for you.

Yeah.

And I know one day you'll be hearing it
back.

Yeah. And I know when I do hear it back,
it's going to be so special. It's going

to come from the heart. It's going to be
the truth.

Come in.

I've got feelings for her.

Care for the girl. I'm giving it as much
as I can.

I was just a bit, like, scared for her
that I wasn't at that stage to really

it back.

I definitely feel like we're going in
the right route to me saying it.

Eventually, I will get there, I believe.

That's very true.

I've told him how I feel. I can see that
he's really softened up.

My heart is just burst with happiness.

I'm just so glad that we've made up and
we're just going to enjoy the next few

days with each other.

All about you today, girl.

It's all about you today, baby girl.

While the other couples continue to
enjoy their final date... In

London... Hi, guys.

Hi, Grace. Come on in.

Grace. Hello. Hello, Ash.

And Ashley have each been invited to
meet with experts Paul, Mel and

As both opted not to attend the final
commitment ceremony, we've invited

and Grace to meet with us individually
to explore any issues they feel are

unresolved and to get some sort of
closure on their time in the experiment.

It's really lovely to see you. How are
you doing?

I'm very up and down.

Sometimes I'm very sure of how I'm
feeling, sometimes less so.

I really, really wanted it to work and I
wanted kind of that magic, but...

It was obviously challenging parts with
me and Grace just being, I think, just

different people.

After a turbulent partner swap week.

I just feel like you've seen me in such
a bad light and I just don't get it.

And an intense recent dinner party.

I never really feel listened to or
resolved or I just always feel like

off.

This isn't going to go anywhere. I don't
know what we're trying to work through.

The couple spent homestays apart, both
coming to the same conclusion.

It's just over, over.

Yeah.

You're still wearing your ring.

Are we going to take it off? Are we
there?

What was behind that decision for you
not coming to that last commitment

ceremony?

Well, most of the time at the commitment
ceremony, whenever I tried to speak

about what was happening...

I felt like Asher was quick to deflect.

I did find that he would be revisionist.
I think I mentioned it at commitment

ceremonies before, like he's very fluid
with the truth and I lost my voice

almost. I just didn't feel confident
anymore in what I was saying.

Which must have been so incredibly
frustrating.

Yeah. I feel like from even the wedding
day, Grace had me pegged as this.

misogynistic, not great guy.

I was just thinking, just give me a bit
of time with her. I know who I am. I

know I'll treat her like a princess
anyway.

It'll kind of come round.

But then it started to come round and
then it would go back.

I just felt like there's not much more I
can do here to try and get her to see

who I am.

And then as soon as I started pulling
back, she changed. And then it went from

me trying to prove to her that I'm a
good person to her actively trying to

me as a bad one.

And I felt like...

It just wasn't a great place for me to
be. I felt like I had to prove to Grace

that, no, I'm in this, you can trust me,
it's fine.

I think what we have to try to figure
out here is how the trust was broken

between you and Grace.

So, it's so frustrating because so much
of it is about private stuff that I had

wanted to avoid talking about.

One morning, like, Ash really wants to
be intimate.

I put my head in the room and I went,
ooh, like in a joking way.

And she laughed and smiled at me. So I
went over and I grabbed her and I put

on the bed.

And then we rolled around and kissed.

I said, no, not for it. He continued,
pursued.

And I said, you're like a dog with a
bone today.

What's going into you?

And he said, there's a half -naked woman
in front of me with a good body. What

do you expect?

She replied and said, so if it was any
woman, you'd feel the same. I was like,

why would you come back with that? It's
me and you in the room, you're half

naked, and I've given you a compliment.

Why would you do that? I stopped and I
was like, I don't understand how you

can't take a compliment.

And to me, that's basically saying, oh,
my animal instinct is overtaking me.

You're just a piece of...

Me or like you could be anyone standing
in front of me.

Ash kept saying, I want to talk about
this compliment.

I was like, we don't need to talk about
the compliment.

He was saying, you ask Leah, you ask
Rebecca, they'll tell you it's a

compliment. I was saying, I don't need
to ask them. It was a compliment for me.

Yeah. And I'm telling you, it didn't
land. And that's all it has to be. But

didn't it land? Let's unpack it. Let's
get the, don't need to.

I remember we spoke to him about the
fact that if it doesn't land well to the

person you're sending the compliment to,
then that needs to be acknowledged.

Do you feel that he took that feedback
on board? I don't think he ever took any

of the feedback from the commitment
ceremony.

He acknowledged when I was saying it,
but he didn't actively do any of it

himself.

I think what's fair to say is that
communication for the two of you was

going in two different directions.

Would you say that's kind of a fair
analysis of your relationship? I would.

like everything I was kind of doing to
help the situation was making it worse.

I've got so many... I know maybe
examples aren't the right thing, but one

things that I didn't really speak up
about, I would go to the toilet and lock

the door, and Ash would get something
from the kitchen, I guess, and unlock it

from the other side. And I'd be like,
no, no, no, like, stop, stop.

Really, like, panicking.

What was the intention there? Was he
wanting playfulness? I think he wanted

kind of marriage where it's, like,
really, like, familiar.

But we were strangers, so for me, maybe
that would come later, but hadn't

yet. And this was happening when I was
in the shower sometimes.

One time he even said, like, I don't
know why you keep locking this door, I'm

engineer.

That happened once.

I personally don't even feel like the
reaction in that moment.

Because if the reaction was, like,
really bad or shouted or did something,

be like, OK, wow, like, sorry,

I messed up.

Like, I'm very accountable if I do
something wrong.

In my mind, I was doing it playfulness.

Like, we'd been intimate, we'd seen each
other and we're married.

It's not a big deal. They don't do it
maliciously. Going in there would always

be playful.

She said that you got a utensil from the
kitchen to open the door and you said,

I'm an engineer, I can pick the hole. I
did it with my nail.

So you picked the lock while she was
having a private moment? When you say

I completely understand what you're
saying. You're right.

To me, it was a silly little... We were
married and I just thought it was a

funny thing to do. You keep saying,
we're married, that is not a permission

to cross boundaries.

Yeah, that's not what I'm saying. It
was, like, really just confusing. It was

impossible for me to navigate.

So some real issue there around
boundary.

All right, so this is how I look at a
boundary.

Rules are a two -way street. Boundaries
are a two -way street. When I'm looking

at this, that's an area where I see that
you could have stepped up and said, you

know what, enough is enough. I've set a
consequence, and enough is enough.

Yes, I fully agree.

If I'd have been stern with Ash, if I'd
have been really firm, he would have

said, you think I'm a bad person. And he
had this blanket statement of, like,

you just don't see me for who I am.

You only see me a certain type of way.

It's not lost on me now, but the best
week Ash had, quite openly, it was the

week at the retreat where I was avoiding
conflict and I just stopped asserting

myself. And the things he was doing that
made me uncomfortable, I just stopped

saying. And he's like, it's the best
week we had. It's the closest I've felt

you. And to me, I'm like, that is so...
He doesn't want to be accountable and he

doesn't want to point it out and he
doesn't want to change.

My argument to Grace was always, how
come everybody else can see me for who I

and see that I'm working at this, that
I'm really trying, and then the person

I'm putting most time, effort and energy
into, and you still can't? How come

everyone else can see it and you can't?

What about just accepting, listening and
trying to understand her perspective?

I think when your partner is saying to
you they don't feel heard, it's really

important that you do say, OK, I hear
you, I respect where you're coming from.

Yeah.

You know what's so interesting to me
about this? I think about the

that I have with my wife.

I think everything that you've done with
Grace, my wife and I have done.

But I think the difference is that I've
been married for 23 years, and we have

built a level of undeniable trust.

And I think what you did is you went
into this marriage saying, we should

each other.

Yeah. Just because.

And Grace said, no, you have to earn my
trust.

And you started off on a different page.

Yeah. Would you agree with that? 100%.
Yeah.

Like these things, I know when you're
saying it now when I'm here and I'm

thinking, yeah, I fucked up. But I've
done them in the past and it's always

okay. The challenge, though, is that
when you cross a boundary from Grace's

perspective, you then...

take on the role of a bully.

Right. It's always about being aware of
where the boundary is and calibrating

around that. And you seem like that was
definitely a challenge for you. Yeah.

You saying it out loud and saying that
makes me feel shit. It makes me feel

awful.

I summarize it. I came in and married a
stranger.

Ash came in and married a wife.

Magnificent. I just want to acknowledge
something here for you. When we first

met, I really got how serious you were
taking this experiment. Yeah. And I

really do believe that you were ready to
start dropping your guard and opening

up, and we saw you do that. Yeah. And
that's where vulnerability lives.

And you opened that door, showed some
vulnerability, but the way that he

that with you is what's been
disappointing.

Yeah.

Ash, it's become clear that whilst there
are many great traits that you both

share, there are some fundamental
differences between you and Grace.

It's absolutely fine to be different,
but if a partner is saying to you that

they don't feel comfortable with
something that you've done, if your

dismissive, you're likely to get another
reaction from them, which will mean

that the conflict continues.

I think oftentimes partnerships want to
feel validated.

And I think I completely agree with you.
Things coming out of it, questioning so

much more now.

Going into this, I wasn't really
questioning it at all. I don't think

thing. I think it could be a positive
episode.

I appreciate it. Thank you so much, Ash.

Thank you so much for sharing your
experiences with us. Hopefully you have

really heard today.

Thanks, Greg.

Thanks, guys.

I've never had a date this extravagant.
You are very welcome.

Don't think that every date's going to
be like that.

Honestly, this journey has just been
amazing.

And this is just the start.

The fact that we're visualising the rest
of our lives together is amazing.

And to be honest, Abby, it's not
something that I thought I would get

experiment. Like, you know, I feel like
my future's so certain now.

And then we're going to have such an
amazing time together. I've got an

excitement back for life.

Aww, I love that. And for once in my
life, I'm not worried about the future.

excited because not only do I love you,
but I feel like for once, like, I love

myself again as well.

There's nothing more certain than our
future together.

What a true story.

No.

I've got you a gift.

Aww.

Another surprise. Another surprise.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Oh, that's gorgeous.

Oh, my God, it's so beautiful.

I love that.

That's been named after you.

Good.

That's beautiful.

Thank you so much.

I loved my gift from John.

I haven't grown his name after me. How
magical is that?

I'm like Beauty and the Beast, except
you're not a beast.

I'm like Prince Charming.

It just shows how solid our connection
is and how our love is lasting a

lifetime.

I couldn't be happier.

I'm feeling so loved.

Abby is really in love with me, and I
just feel absolutely ecstatic.

And I'm just so thankful that she's my
wife.

I love you. I love you too.

Bailey! Happy?

Today's been absolutely incredible.

Started with loads of laughs.

Oh, my God.

But tonight, it's all about a bit more
romance.

We've got a slap -up meal, beautiful
sweet.

I wanted her to feel appreciated. I
wanted her to feel special.

I'm pulling out all the stops.

Wow, this is bougie.

I never expected something quite as
beautiful as this.

Only the best for my girl.

This date for us is going to be so
memorable.

So, what do you think your highlights
have been throughout the entire process?

Oh, God, the whole thing.

Walking into the first dinner party with
you was one.

I remember just thinking, I'm just so
happy.

The other one for me was, like, I think,
yeah, when I first fell in love with

you, like, I knew you weren't there yet,
but I just, I don't know, it felt like

quite a, like, it was such a big moment.
I feel the same.

I remember feeling, like, in the right
place at the right time then.

Behind closed doors, you are so soft
and, like, you're very, very open with

emotions. It's such an attractive
quality for a man like you to have.

I honestly couldn't love you any more
than I do.

I love you so much. I love you too,
though.

I do. I love you so much.

I think one of the really special times
for me as well was moving in together. I

desperately wanted to move in with you.

Throughout this whole experience, it's
given me happiness to, like, have made

our apartment home to us. But, like,
home for us feels like each other.

Yeah. You know what I mean?

That's what worries me the most about
being outside.

It's going to be so hard. Like,
honestly, it's going to be hard.

Just the distance and hard.

It's everything.

I know.

We have this huge obstacle in the way.

Huge obstacle.

You've got Bluebell and I would never,
ever...

put pressure on you to leave her or to
be anywhere away from her that would

jeopardise your time with her.

She's always going to be first, and she
is.

I feel like I'm torn apart at the
moment.

If I could go anywhere with Bluebell,
I'd just be with you.

I know. I would move up to Liverpool in
a heartbeat.

It's just something that we can't change
right now, isn't it?

I never thought I'd come into this
experiment and have this problem at the

I don't know what I was thinking, that,
like, if someone would be closer.

I thought being left is what it is.

Yeah.

I don't want anything to change.

This is how I would want to feel for the
rest of my life.

Can't be without you. Like, I don't want
to spend time without you.

Um...

Sorry.

I can't speak.

I'm honestly dreading the day when...

Bailey and I leave the apartments and
leave each other.

I just know how I'm going to feel
leaving him.

It's so frustrating that we've found the
right person.

But we live miles away from each other.

Bailey has changed my life.

Forever.

I can't imagine my life without him.

Next time.

Hey! She is gorgeous.

A day apart from their spouses.

For me, it shouldn't be this hard.
Exposes fears for the future.

Can't just up and leave. We don't know
what forever looks like.

Alicia told me she loved me. Was it
that?

No, I didn't. But it's the return of
familiar faces.

She's back!

That sends their reunion into chaos.

Your behaviour, disgusting.

Who instigated that?

We'll find out now. Was it you or was it
him?

What the fuck?

Is that Lion Toad?

Have you slept with him?

What's the actual fuck?
