You are everything that we could
have wished for him.
Previously...

This is a perfect match.

..while home stays deepened bonds
for some couples...

There's so much about you
that I love.

..it exposed worrying fault lines
for others...

I'm not sure if I could leave home.

I can't move.

If we can't come to an agreement,

then we're both going to
end up with broken hearts.

If she ain't perfect, mate,
maybe she's not for you.

..and a shocking revelation...

If you're married,

do you think it's appropriate
to be on a dating website?

I'm not on anything. Yes, you are.

..dealt Nelly and Steven's
marriage a death blow.

Why have you wasted her time
in this experiment?

She deserves 100 times better.
I'm going to take this off.

This marriage is over.

I want nothing to do
with Steven any more.

Tonight...

I can really see myself moving here.

..the home stays continue.

We're here.
We've arrived at Bournemouth!

Welcome home. Thank you.

While family approval comes easy
to some...

He told me that he loved me. Woo!

..others face tougher questions
from loved ones...

I want you to be really happy.
But I want you to be happy here.

I can see she is falling.

I need to have that gut feeling
that you're the same.

I can't help my doubts.

..and as Grace and Ashley
spend time apart...

Is he the person
that everyone else thinks he is?

Have I got this wrong?

You're still wearing your ring.

Part of you is trying not
to give up.

..they face a crucial decision on
the future of their marriage.

I can't do any more to prove to her
who I am.

And now we're in Harlow. Yep.

We're coming up to where I went
to school, actually.

This is my primary school. Is it?

Was you a bit of a goody
two shoes in school?

No. No? Absolutely not.

Come on, let me give you the tour.

A bath big enough for two. Yes!

A shower big enough for six.

See, look, you could easily stack
six people in here.

Why would you...? No, I'm not going
to ask that question.

It is amazing seeing
Davide in London.

And I'm so excited to show D
my home and my little world.

It is cute, I love it. Really?
I do. I do.

Honestly, it's beautiful. Yeah!
Gorgeous.

Can you see yourself spending
time here? Definitely.

That's my gaff right there.
Oh, is that your house?

Yes. I can really see myself
moving here.

You can? Yeah.
I like the neighbourhood already.

Oh, OK. I'm getting good vibes.

There's a play park up there,
like a kiddie one.

That's like two minutes.
I noticed that.

Slow down, young buck.

Coming into home stays,
me and Reiss are

in a really strong position
at the moment.

How's it feel to be in Essex?
Love it.

I can...

..smell the Essex air.

I'm so excited
that we're seeing his family.

I know how much they mean to him.

Welcome. You need to say,
"Honey, I'm home!"

Hopefully I'll fit in.

Because Essex feels like home,
baby. I feel at home.

So, yeah, take your jacket off.
Nice! Yeah.

Mi casa, tu casa. I thought it would
be a lot of grey. Really?

Yeah. I knew it would be like
a bachelor pad.

I didn't think there'd be like
a little pop of colour in there.

Hang on.
Grey is a proper colour. No.

Best case scenario, for me

and Leish whilst we do
home stay is no bickers,

no drama. Everyone gets on

like a house on fire.

And here. Voila!

This is where the magic happens,
yeah? Kinda.

I knew you would have
crushed velvet!

I can't wait to put some of
my touches.

Like what? Loads of photos of me.

Just you? Well, us. Oh, us.

Just looks like you're here on your
own, which you are, but...

Yeah. ..not any more.

You've got a wifey for lifey now.
Yep.

I'm going to zhuzh it up, right?
I'm going to have some plants.

I'm going to have photos of me,

lingerie photos of me everywhere.

We're going to have wedding photos
of me everywhere.

We're literally just
going to have Leisha.

People will know this is,
"My howse, my rules."

Is that not how you say it
in a Essex accent?

It feels so weird being here.
Does it?

I like it, I love the neighbourhood.

Like it seems like a good area
to, like... It is.

Bring up kids. Bring up kids.

What are you excited for?
Your family.

They're everything to me.
If I don't get your approval,

I'm buggered.
Yeah, you are, to be honest.

Really excited to meet his family.
But I know for a fact

if I don't get the approval

that I'm looking for,
I'm out the door.

Bye-bye, Essex.

Are you ready? I'm ready.

I've decided to bring Leah
ice skating today

during my home stay,

because I wanted to bring
the fun back in our relationship.

Come on, then, Bambi. Let's do it.

She loves an activity, so this
is going to be right up her street.

If you... If you pants me and pull
my pants down!

I'll just pull your jeans down.
Whoop!

Go faster. I can't, Leah!
Move your legs!

Oh!

Leah, stop!

Silly cow!

Come in slowly for a kiss, ready?
Oh!

Ah!

PAINED LAUGHTER

I've seen Leigh be a lot softer.
I'm loving this side to her.

Why did we not have fun like this
from day one?

I know. We would have been
in love by now.

Do you reckon? Yeah.

Do you know what it is? I like
seeing you in your environment.

In what way? Well,
you're a cow at the apartments.

You're more softer here.

Sad that you haven't seen
that part of me more. Until now.

Yeah.

We've had a very good week.
We have, haven't we? Yeah.

I feel like we're back on track.

We were skating on thin ice,
weren't we?

Like that one?
Lovely. Well done, Leah.

Bom-ba-dum-ssh!

Us having fun has reignited
something for me.

So who do you think's
the better skater, then?

Don't really want to say. Oh!
I love things like this.

Yeah. I feel like this
is more your cup of tea, innit?

Yeah. Home stays for me
has definitely been

the best week.

I have seen a different side
to you on this week.

We haven't deeped everything
too much. It's been fun. Yeah.

And this has been my favourite date.

Has it? Yeah. OK.
Good to know. Mm.

Can you imagine, the beginning of

the week I weren't even coming
to Liverpool.

I wasn't sure where our relationship
was even going to go.

And now we're on the ice,
skating around,

kissing in the middle of the rink
like we're Torvill and Dean!

At the beginning of home stays,

I wasn't even sure
that I wanted to go to Leah's home.

So the fact that we're here now,
we've made this much progress,

it couldn't get better than this.

Should we do one more lap?

One little lap. Come on, then.
Give us a smooch.

We're excited? I am.
Nervous, but I'm excited.

Why are you nervous?
It's your family and your friends,

so it's obviously natural
that I'm nervous.

I'm nervous about seeing his friends
and his family.

It's important that we get along

because I'm going to be a part
of their life, too.

Yay!

I don't know!

OK! I don't know where to go!

Hi. How are you?

Nice to see you, man. How are you?
Good to see you. How are you, guys?

I really hope things
go well today between D

and my friends and family,

because they're a huge part of
my life,

and each of them represent different
aspects of my London life,

and I'd want them all to get on.

Ah! How are you? We're really good.

I want to know social events.

Is this normally what you guys
do every weekend?

It depends on the person he's with.

It could be 4am we're in Soho.
Or it could be going

for a long walk and coffee.
Love that.

We're just telling the truth here.
I'm aware!

To be fair... You could have
at least sugar-coated it!

We're going quite far back here for
the 4am's. It's more like 3am now.

I think we should hear from James.

We have very wholesome kind of
weekends. Yeah.

We go for coffee,
we go for walks. OK.

We've been to a couple of museums.

Oh! Thank you for being here, James.
I really appreciate you.

I love you so much. I was going to
say something nice, too!

You're my favourite cousin.

Brunch isn't always
a out partying brunch.

A brunch is going to a nice

restaurant along the riverside.
Yeah!

And having brunch with a coffee
and a smoothie. Yeah.

It does also sometimes mean

that we then barhop afterwards...

We can be spontaneous.
..and are out until like 5pm

and then pass out at home.

But, like, it... But it's not always
that type of brunch.

What is life like in Horsham, then?

It's very slow-paced
because I'm a flight attendant.

I'm literally like from city
to city to city,

and when I work, when I come home,
I like a bit more tranquillity.

How often are you away for work?
Four times a month.

But my trips,
the minimum would be three days.

Having that sort of balance between
the two is important.

I find it important to me.

You do have a busy life
and you do like your social events.

I don't want to take away from that.

He will always make time for you.
Yeah, that's what I mean.

I just wanted to know
if you'd have time

for me when I'm here.
Of course. always.

I wanted to make sure that I'm not
going to take away

from your life and your events
and your lifestyle.

No, but you're going to be part of
them. When I'm home,

I'm not always going to have
the energy... That's fine.

..to, like, be at events.

And he'll have to learn
to compromise with that as well.

I don't go out
and drink every weekend.

It's not my thing.
So it's going to be very important

for him to understand
that my home time,

my life is way slower than his,

and we're going to have to find
that balance

in between his events and me resting
and being able to be home.

Now that you guys are together,

he'll probably calm down a little
bit and it'll be a different life,

won't it? Yeah.

I don't think Davide has anything to
worry about. I'm married now.

I want to be curling up and watching
movies together

and ordering takeaway.

I cannot wait for Davide's
home stay,

to see how he lives
his everyday life.

Hopefully this should all just be
a really, really positive week.

I think we're going
to be more than fine.

It's taken so long today. Yeah.
But I think

we just got unlucky with
the traffic.

I'm sure it's not going to be like
that all the time.

Rebecca and Bailey are on their way
to Rebecca's hometown of Liverpool.

I think it's about four hours
usually,

but it took us about six today.
Maybe more. Maybe more,

I think today. I just can't wait
to get out the car and get home.

Hopefully it wouldn't be like this
because

you couldn't do it
if it was like this all the time.

It's made it feel further away.
Yeah.

Home, sweet home.
Yeah. Feel weird to be back?

Being in Hove our bubble has burst.

Because Bailey has the anchor
of Bluebelle,

it does put the pressure on me to
make the big decisions

around moving.

In we come. Right, come on in.
Oh, this is nice.

This is my living room.
The size of this! Here it is.

This is where I'm comfortable.

Like, I've built this house
from the ground up.

I'm really proud of
what I've got here, and it's mine.

This is my kitchen.
This is nice. You like?

Yeah. And it's so different to
where Bailey lives,

a really small flat above
a fish and chip shop.

And that's not what I have here.

Got a little fridge here for, like,
milk and things.

Oh, and wine. Wine.

And then I've got a bigger
fridge over there.

You've got two fridges?
Two fridges. Go on, girl.

It's a very picturesque home.
It's like a show home.

There's a reason that I am here.
Because I know for my future,

this will work really well
when I have a family.

Your house is really nice.
Thank you.

Lovely. It's going to be bloody hard

to get you to move out of here.
I know.

But you can see why I wouldn't want
to leave.

Yeah. It's peaceful here.
Honestly, it's beautiful.

Bec's house is gorgeous.

So I can see why leaving something
like this would be hard.

This whole location decision

is going to be super tough
for the pair of us.

We've both got things
that are pulling us to our areas.

So we'll go to...
This is one of my guest rooms.

This is nice. Nice, isn't it,
in here?

This would be a cute little room
for Bluebelle.

This is my bathroom. Bloody hell.
How many sinks do you want?

Well, it's his and hers.

You've got more sinks here
than I've got in my whole house.

This is where I work.
This is my little clinic.

Oh, this is cool. You'll definitely
be the biggest person

to have ever sat on there.
All right, love. I'll have

the full works, please.

It doesn't matter how nice
everything is here.

Permanent residence couldn't be

up here for me because it is just
so far away from Blue.

I can't make Bec move.
It's not fair

for her to be the only one
that has to consider moving.

This situation is really
a tough one.

Being back home is overwhelming.

Like, it's overwhelming to see you
in my house. Is it?

It's mad.

I am worried.
You're in love with someone,

you want to be with them,

but you just don't have an answer
as to where you can both live.

I'm struggling, really.

Being in Hove and now coming

to Liverpool has dropped us
into our reality.

Yeah. Like, this is
what life would be like.

We still need to sort out
what we're going to do future-wise.

I feel like we're lumping pressure
on ourselves

a little bit with
the whole distance. I do.

I feel a lot of pressure. Yeah.

We do have an elephant

in the room all the time
when it comes to distance. Yeah.

We spend so much time together
and our relationship

gets better and better.

I don't want to let go of what we've
got currently. Let go of it.

Yeah. Yeah.

I honestly don't think
Bailey would ever move from Hove.

He has Bluebelle, so that means that
the pressure's on me.

But I don't feel like that's fair.

I don't think all of the pressure
should be put on me

to leave a life
that I've established in Liverpool.

My business, my friends, my family,
everybody that I love is here.

So I don't want to leave my home.

Come on! This is exactly
what I like.

Yeah? A bit of nature.

Is this a bit of you?

Very much a bit of me.

Right. Come on, then.
Teach me some Cockney slang.

All right, so we've got apples
and pears.

Do you know what that is? Stairs.
Bees and honey?

Money. Jack and Danny.
What's that? Fanny.

Yep.
As home stays continue...

Are you excited?

Yeah. To show me your hometown.
I am, I'm excited

to show you, like,
my day-to-day life,

like how much I, like, slow down.

Davide is taking Keye to his home
in Horsham.

Hopefully you'll be spending a lot
of time here.

Shall we? Let's do it.

Keye's lifestyle is completely
different from mine.

London is fast-paced.

I want Keye to understand
what my routine is.

I want him to understand how much
I slow down when I'm home.

It's important that he enjoys it.
There's a lot on the line right now.

This is home. Yeah!

Friend?

Friend!

Hi, friends! Hi!

I'm really excited for this week,

just to get more on
what his everyday life is like.

Good. How are you? I'm OK.

There is a lot riding on this.

I think it's really important
that I can fit into his life.

Welcome home. Thank you.

Thank you for welcoming me to
your home.

How's things? Oh, great.

Yeah. Brilliant.

Aw. No, we've been good.
It's very like, "Yes, affection."

Love it. I'm really excited
to be here.

I'm really excited to be
in your home.

And thank you for welcoming me in.

And I can't wait to get
to know you both.

I'm excited to show you around.
There's not much to do around here.

But it's very quiet, slow.

Well, they have a Greggs
and we have a Gail's.

We're going to leave you guys.

I'm just going to show him around
the house.

Show him the bedroom.
Ew! Oh, yeah.

Let's go.

I know.

Right, this is my bathroom.
Cleaning products.

Just in case you have an accident.
An accident? I don't know.

I'm not quite sure why Davide's
pointing out the cleaning products.

Everyone in London has a cleaner.
We all do.

Oh! Oh, your mattress is
really hard.

This home, it is very different
to my big, glass,

modern apartment with a wine fridge
and a Thames view.

Your home is very cosy, homely.
Yeah.

I want it to be cosy and homely.

It's slightly anxiety-inducing
to see how D lives.

I couldn't live the lifestyle
that I love here.

I'm nervous. I'm a bit nervous.
Are you?

I am nervous for today.

It's so important for me
that today goes well.

Like my mum, she's a very
big part of my life.

I won't say it to Leisha,
but silently the pressure is on

for Leish to get on with my mum.

Shall I tell her I'm pregnant?

I don't think that'd be the best
impression.

OK. Let's not do that.

Oh, here she is. Hi. Hello.

Hello? You all right?
Yes, darling. Mwah.

You OK? I've missed you. All right?
Hello. How are you?

Oh, and I've got your flowers.
Thank you.

Oh, you're welcome.

Meeting Reiss's mum today,

I know how much she means to him.
And if I do not get her approval,

I'm out the door.

I'm going to quiet my voice
and not swear too much.

Hopefully she does love me just
as much as I love her son.

How are you getting on?
Yeah. We're going good,

for starters.
He's like my best friend.

Well, that's a really,
really good start. Yeah.

When Reiss is not there,
like on the wife swap week,

I was like, "Where's Reiss?" Like...
Yeah.

At the beginning we had a couple
of, like,

silly little barnies.

But since we've been
getting on like

a house on fire. Oh, nice.

Each day we're getting closer
and closer.

And, like, we just get on so well.

And we've got baby names on the go.

Oh, dear. My word.

I was not expecting Leish to bring
up children.

So you're talking
about having children already?

Yeah. I think you've got to leave
it a while.

Yeah. You can't rush anything...
No.

..as serious as having children.
Yeah.

I think it's far too early

for Leisha to be talking
about children.

We want a stable relationship

before we even start
discussing children.

I wouldn't want it
to happen straight away.

I need to pop three out, so...
No, you don't,

for goodness' sake!
Reiss wants three!

Yeah, but not straight away.

Darling, I'm 32 this year.

I'll be popping those sprogs out
in a year.

Are you happy? I am, yeah.
Yeah? Any problems?

Leisha was very fast-paced
with her emotions.

I go a lot slower than Leisha.

She wasn't happy at the pace
I was moving in.

And I was like saying, like,

"Listen, with you, like,
saying that to me,

"you're making me go even slower.

"I feel like I was getting
pressured with you."

You don't do needy, do you? No.

You move at your pace
and just keep being you.

What do you think about this
child chat

so early on in your relationship?

Of course I want kids. Leisha wants
kids. Yeah. But not now.

That needs to all slow down a bit.

So you need to be 100% sure

before you even start talking
about babies.

Leisha is absolutely lovely,
but I'm very worried

that if Leisha keeps
pushing Reiss too hard,

he will go the other way.

Ice cream tasting.

No. Ooh, pizza eating competition.
I like pizza. No.

Are you taking me diamond shopping?

No. OK, cos I like diamonds.

Try and guess.

I love cats.

I have three beautiful cats.
They are everything to me.

They're part of my life.

So it's important that the person
that's going

to be with me is OK with cats.
I want to see how he reacts

to other cats before I introduce
him to my own.

Three, two, one.

A cat cafe!

Would I have rathered a dog caff?
Of course. Yes.

Um, but I... I don't have to take
any of them home with me.

My idea of a surprise is going
to get diamonds.

Or maybe a nice glass of champagne.
Not cats.

That's a really big cat.

Hey, guys. Mm, hi.

Oh. I honestly thought you were
to put it on me.

No.

How do you feel about cats?
I'd just rather have a dog.

Why a dog? Because, well, a cat

will eat your face within
eight hours of you dying.

A dog wouldn't do that.
OK.

Would you open up to cats once you
get to know mine

and see their behaviours and stuff?

I'm not going to be overly playful
with the cats,

but they can be there.

OK.

Do you need more from me than that?
I come with the cats.

So, yeah. It's a cat.

It's not a big deal.

The cats being everywhere
is uncomfortable.

It's a lot of cats,
which is unpredictable.

Just very overwhelming. Mm-mm!

You're uncomfortable with the
conversation. Yeah. Just yeah.

This is just really stupid,
in my opinion.

OK. You'll think about it.

I just feel like any fun
was taken out

of this when it suddenly became
like some serious conversation,

as though I was co-parenting
a three-year-old child.

It's a cat. OK.

This was supposed to be fun.

Well, surprisingly,
something I don't like

was never going to be
particularly fun, was it?

OK.

Can I go, please?

Yeah. Thank you.

No worries. OK, good.

Don't walk away. It is a small,
dark space with eight cats.

I'm done. Do you want to stay in
a hotel or

do you want to come home with me
and solve this?

I'm serious now. Like, I don't know
what else I can do here.

You're not hearing my point
in any way.

I'm the one that was put
in an uncomfortable situation!

I know, but when you're talking,
it feels like...

Because I was trying to stick it out
because it's important to you!

I know, but when you're talking,

even just then,
it's like it's my fault.

Like, I'm on your side here.

I'm happy to stay in a hotel.

This is a really overwhelming,
very uncomfortable situation.

That was just too much.

I can't do anything.

I can't speak, I can't say...
Oh, I'm frustrated.

I'm frustrated now. Frustrated.

I don't think I have done
anything wrong.

We could have left together
and discussed this.

Fucking frustrated. Fuck me.

I'm not doing this.

We're here.
We've arrived at Bournemouth!

Oh, I'm so pleased to be here.

You're in Edinburgh now.
Oh, sick. OK.

OK. There's your castle.
Wow. Oh, my God.

You're going to flow forwards
onto your hands. Oh, my God.

Use the strength of your arms.
Ah! Yes. Nice.

Babe, that was so good.

It's so good to be home.

But especially good to be home
with you.

This is my home! Oh, nice!

I love the sofa. Welcome!

What do you think? Oh, lovely.
How girlie is it, do you think?

Yeah, I'm not sure about...
I'm not sure about that.

I love that cushion!

It feels great having
John in my home.

I am married now, so my home
is his home at the end of the day,

so I really hope, you know, he fits
in and feels comfortable here.

This is my bedroom. Oh!

Who's this?

SHE LAUGHS

It's my little friend

that I used to cuddle at night
when I didn't have you.

Longing for a husband, hugging...
Yeah, exactly!

So, yeah.
Sorry, now I have a husband,

you might have to sleep over there.

BAGPIPES PLAY

Did you know
that this is the Royal Mile?

Edinburgh is absolutely beautiful.
The city is amazing.

I don't know about moving up here.

It's a little bit chilly for myself.

Right. Let's go look at
the tartan.

Oh, look at this!

When we have a child,

what one would you rather?

Would you rather this one
or this one?

This is for a little girl.
That is pretty sweet.

Yeah. Yeah?

Right, but we ain't got a baby on
the way yet, so put that down.

A little bit too early to be picking
up baby clothes.

Put a pin in it for now.

Yeah. OK, so that's in the future.

I feel like I've not seen Nikole
for so long,

and it's only in-laws week
that I saw her last.

But for that reason,
I think she's going to have a lot

of questions about
where me and Leah are at.

Oh, you made me jump. Hey! You OK?

I'm really excited to see Leah,
but whenever

I've seen them together,
they've had bickers,

so I don't know
if they're able to get past that.

Have yous been all right?

Yeah. It's been up and down.
But we've had a good home stay,

haven't we? We've had a really good
home stay. It's been...

The last time I see yous was...
Oh. ..when I come for dinner.

There's a girl in another couple,

and I felt like Leah was being
a little bit overfamiliar with her.

During in-laws week,

Leigh's concerns over Leah's
behaviour with Rebecca...

I normally go for like dark hair,

gym girl kind of vibe.
Dark features.

..sparked conflict for the couple.

You've been telling me this
whole time that

that conversation never happened.

You actually did say that
that was your type. No, no, no.

I never said Rebecca. I've just said
dark-haired gym girl.

I don't like being lied to.
Yeah, but I haven't lied.

So... Yeah, we were in a bad place,
then. ..that was rocky, then.

That was a bad patch, weren't it?
Yeah.

I said the other day, I was like,

"I wish I'd seen you on
your home stay weeks ago."

I see a much softer side to her,
which I hadn't been getting.

So it has been really nice
for me to see that.

Are you in a position
where you'd move?

Um... If yous was to...

Yeah. If things went well
between us,

I can live wherever.
I quite like Essex.

Yeah. How many days were you
at your home stay for?

Yeah, the first day,
you weren't at my home stay,

were you? So...
No, I went a day late because

we had a little bit of a situation
the night before.

Why? Oh, I tried to gloss over
that one,

but of course, you're not going
to allow me to, are you? No.

Oh, God. ..hell.
Um, so we went out...

We went out for drinks
after a dinner party.

Mm-mm. And I bumped into two
people... Well, one person,

and two girls that I knew from
years ago.

And I was chatting to them
and stuff,

but I didn't introduce Leigh.

The reason I didn't go on
the home stay was

because I thought there might have
been more to that situation,

and I felt like she was just around
this one person a lot,

and she didn't leave

at the same time as the rest
of us left, she stayed behind.

Five minutes later.
I was getting pissed off about

the fact that I felt

like I'd been disrespected,
so I just needed a minute.

She's overthought a situation,
and then it's got in her head,

and because she's used to
that from her past,

it's then projected into

that's something I must be doing
as well.

What I want to reiterate is
that all of

these situations haven't just come
from me overthinking everything,

and you've not ever done
a thing that's like not...

You were in a bad mood that day.
Let's be real.

Be real right now.
I'm just telling the story of

that's how it made me feel
in that moment.

This is all a fabricated thing
in your head, because it's not...

There was nothing ever to worry
about there.

But this is the issue, Leah.
You're telling me it's fabricated.

Yeah. But if I felt disrespected
in that moment by your behaviour...

..don't tell me
that that's unwarranted

or that I've fabricated me
feeling disrespected.

Do I feel like you could have

done more in that moment
to make me feel

like there wasn't more to it?
Yes, you could have.

If she felt disrespected,
she's entitled to her feelings. OK.

Do you know what I mean? If you
think I disrespected you
on that night, that's fine.

We'll leave it there. Yeah. Mm.

It's been a nine out of ten week.
I'm a little bit shocked.

She's overreacted to something
that was absolutely nothing.

I mean, just drop it.

Right. I'm going to
leave you to catch up.

Do you want any drinks bringing back
or anything? No, that's all right.

I'm all right at the minute.
Thank you. Thank you.

What? What? Nah, that's...
That's a lot, you know?

Yeah. I know.

What do you feel like?

I feel like it's a shame

because we've had such
a good home stay.

But are you happy?
I'm quite, like, mentally drained

because there's just been a lot
that I've had to work on.

But as a whole, I'm happy.
This last week has been so good.

Like we've just laughed
continuously.

We've had the best time.

What are your thoughts?

I don't see it working,

and I really wanted it to work
for both of you.

If I was in your position,
I would leave.

Yeah, it's one of them ones that
feels like you don't want

to walk away from something that's
got so much good in it,

but then you've got to be real.
Yeah.

Yeah.

I really didn't want today to go
like this,

and I wasn't expecting me
and Leah to bicker, to be honest.

We've had such a good home stay,

but speaking with Nikole
has definitely just made me see mine

and Leah's relationship from
an outside point of view.

There's still parts of me
that is really optimistic,

because there's so many good parts
of me and Leah,

but it makes me re-evaluate where me

and Leah are at
and if we can move forward.

Is it my time to walk away?

Morning!
How do you feel about Edinburgh?

I love this city. Do you?

Yeah. You get, like, the history,

you get the castles.
You love a castle, don't you?

I do. I do love a castle.

Almost as much as I love a pyramid.

Really?

This looks beautiful.
Aw, you're welcome.

I need to up my scrambled egg
game now.

Your scrambled eggs are perfect how
they are.

While home stays continue
for most of the couples...

I've got a new best friend, look.

I know, look at her.
She's obsessed with you. Hello!

Do you like me or
do you like chorizo?

I think you like chorizo.

Grace...

Aw! Hey.

..and Ashley are taking time apart
in their respective hometowns.

Grace and I have had a bad week.
I just don't want to argue any more.

I've just got no
argument left in me.

The dinner party was horrendous.

I never really feel
listened to or resolved.

I just always feel brushed off.

At the most recent dinner party...

I feel chipped away so much
that now I'm not reacting well.

..a series of clashes between
Grace and Ashley came to a head...

I'm really sad because everything's
gone really sour.

I don't know if I'm ever going to be
able to see you

in the same light again,
and you don't seem to care.

..leaving their marriage
hanging desperately in the balance.

I'm struggling with the amount
that you find wrong with me.

This isn't going to go anywhere.

I don't know what we're trying
to work through.

What's been going on?

You're here alone. Obviously,

I've not seen you since in-laws.
Yeah.

It feels like a long time ago.

I don't even know where to begin,
to be honest.

Um, at the most recent dinner party,
it ended a bit sourly.

We did partner swap, and we sort
of went into that on bad terms.

I did ask him before we went on
partner swap,

do you think you could, like,

actually think about what I've
said? And he said, "Yeah, OK."

And I spent partner swap thinking
about the marriage,

what I could be doing better,
you know,

doing, like, the work essentially.

Ash came back from partner swap
and was like...

Mm. ..this is me summarising,
but like, "You're the problem.

"Like, you don't see me for who
I am.

"I'm a good person
and I'm a gentleman." Yeah.

"And until you realise that,
this marriage is doomed."

I came into it knowing full well

if I'm marrying a stranger,
I'm going to have to adjust,

I'm going to have to change.
But it just didn't...

It never felt like he was
willing to do that.

Commitment ceremonies,

so me saying like I didn't like it
when he told me, "Wear a dress".

Yeah. He would be like,
"Well, I only told her

"because I knew the dress code
and she didn't",

which was a fabrication.

I did know the dress code.
And I didn't like it

when he told me to keep

my nails done and he'd be like,
"I only said -

"can I treat you to a manicure?"
Yeah. No, you definitely

didn't say that.
And if he had have said that,

why would I be bringing it up?

So I started to feel a bit like
I was overthinking. Yeah.

I would sort of sit on that couch,
I'd hear him twisting things

to be more positive
and favourable to him.

Like sometimes
I'd take issue with him

about something
and he'd be like, "No, I didn't.

"Nope, didn't happen."

And I'd just be like,
"Well, how do I argue with you now?"

How do I...? Yeah. Well, you feel
like you're going crazy.

I'm not really one to have a big
argument, but it really bothered me.

Like, I was just a bit like,
"How are we supposed to get help

"if you're not going to admit

"and acknowledge what's
going on behind closed doors?"

Like if I ever brought something up,
it offended him,

it became an argument.
Other people heard about it.

He was always going to others.

He was so, like,
revered by the group.

Everyone adores him.

Everyone chooses him
in every, like, challenge,

who you think is the best husband
or whatever.

It's always Ash.

And so sometimes it felt like what
I was saying wasn't that believable.

And a lot of the time
people would be like,

"Well, did he really say it
like that?"

I felt really isolated.
That's horrible.

Yeah.

How was he when you last saw him?
Good. Happy.

He's on... He's on his own.

Hello. Hello. Hello.

It's shit being here on my own.
Not where I wanted to be.

I'm hurt. I thought I'd be coming
out of this with a wife.

But I'm back to square one.

We've done home stay separately.

Grace has not come with me. Why?

We're not in the best place.
So what's, like, the main issue?

I've had to think about everything,
everything I say,

every action I make.

I just don't feel like Grace
sees me for who I am.

She's a good person,
but she lives in her head so much.

But have you both tried
to just meet each other halfway

and think, like,
"We're here for a reason?"

We've both tried.
It's not a case of, "I'm right,

"she's wrong." We've both put

so much into this,
I don't know what to do.

Every relationship takes compromise.
Yeah, absolutely.

But we've both compromised,
compromised, compromised.

And now we're at a stage where...

..she's not what I need
and I'm not what she needs.

So how are you feeling about it?

Are you missing her,
from being away from her?

Yeah, I do have feelings for her.
I do care for her.

But I need Grace
to be a different person

and I feel like she needs me to be
a different person.

And you can't ask her to do that.
I can't ask her to do it.

When I did say,
"Look, we're just different people",

I almost felt like a weight
had been lifted.

We've got a completely
different sense of humour as well.

Even in bad situations,
to stay my happy, bubbly self,

I kind of... I make a joke of it
and I get over it and it's gone.

Yeah. I do that and Grace kind of
sees it as an attack,

so I've had to stop doing that. But
that's giving up who you are, then.

Everything nice I do is questioned.

I can't physically do any more

to prove to her who I am
as a person.

I am so full of self doubt.

Yeah. Have I got this wrong?

Have I overreacted? Like,
have I completely misunderstood?

Like, is he the person
that everyone else thinks he is?

Like, why am I the only person
that sees him this way?

No, he is doing this.
He wants me to feel apologetic,

contrite. He wants to be begged

for forgiveness so that he
can feel in control.

It's the self-doubt
that's getting me now.

It's like I used to feel so strong

and I'm frustrated with myself
for persevering.

Um, I don't know.

It was important to me.
Yeah. Of course,

because you've come
into this wanting to make it work.

For all the things I'm saying
I didn't like,

there was so many I did, you know?
Like the hope of it all.

I just got completely lost.

I think maybe I just want

the partnership and the marriage,
like,

way more than I care to admit
to myself.

Where do you think it
goes from here?

There's a commitment
ceremony coming up.

I don't see the value in me going
and sitting next to him on a couch.

He only cares about his
self image. Yeah.

And so I don't think
it's good to go.

I don't think it benefits me
in any way.

I've had enough.

I'm sorry, darling.

It's just over-over, then? Yeah.

So you don't go back.

That's the end.

Why would you put yourself
through that?

You have tried your hardest

and unfortunately
in life things just don't work.

The top and bottom line is that we
speak completely

different languages.
I'm not saying that I'm perfect

in this by any means,
but I feel out of options.

You're still wearing your ring. So
it's like part of you is trying not

to give up.

But is it just... No, I think...
..so far off on compatibility?

I kept it on for respect.

I didn't want to take it off
and kind of upset her, but...

Probably time to take it off,
to be fair.

I'm looking forward
to meeting your mum and dad.

I can't wait to see them
and for us to show them,

like, how good we are
and how good it's been.

I'm not worried,
so I don't want you to be worried.

Are you going to like him, Mum?
Yes, I know. We know

it takes a lot to impress you.

On her wedding day,
Abigail's biggest worry

was gaining Mum's approval
for her new husband.

She's been broken-hearted
so many times.

I will not see her hurt again.

Just to warn you, so she's never
liked any of my previous partners.

I am the one that vets everybody.
Yeah, I'm the bad guy.

The last thing that I want is to
be upset by...

Or some arrogant person
that comes along.

I'll show you that you can trust me.
That's what I want to hear.

I know how important this day is
for you.

So I'm just hoping that we can
leave this day as happy

as I left my home stay.

My family, you know, they're the
most important people in my life.

I'm really looking forward
to seeing Abi today.

The only thing I ask in life
for Abigail is that she's happy.

I would like to hear
that she's found someone

who can see in her what I do.

And I do hope that
that's the case now.

Hi! Hello!

How are you?

Hi, Francois. Hi.

I'm so excited to see Mum and Dad.

I know they've been
worried about me,

and I know all they want for me

is to find a man that's going
to respect me.

And I can't wait to show Mum and Dad
that I have that.

You both look really, really well.

I can tell by the smiles
on your faces that...

We are very well.

LAUGHTER

Things are going well?

Everything's OK? Yeah. Honestly,
they've been amazing.

It couldn't have gone any better.

Dig in, everyone. Help yourselves.
This is lovely.

You know, we had some chats on
the wedding day. Yeah.

So I wanted to come and reassure you

that everything
that I said we would do,

you know, honesty, trust, respect.

now, a few weeks down the line,
those have all come true.

Yeah. So I was really excited to
show you, you know,

look at what we've got.
It's really good.

When you first met,

and the way you felt then,

do you still feel the same?
It's still...?

Even better. You said to me, like,
"Once you meet the person,

"then you'll know." I was like,
"That's utter rubbish.

"Like, I don't
ever imagine myself doing that."

But I found him.
And you are obviously bringing out

a lot in Abigail because
she's glowing.

He told me that he loved me. Woo!

And I told him that I loved
him, too.

It's a dream come true for me.

It's nice that you can see, like,
how happy we are as well,

because... Yeah. I just wanted you
both to be reassured.

I feel so happy.
Yeah, yeah, this is what we wanted.

Aw, that's nice.
That's what we wanted.

It's nice, because, you know, I've
had... Like, you know, you're...

I'm struggling to talk now.

Aw. You've always been my person
that I can rely on.

But, like, I say to John,

like throughout this, he's been
my person I can rely on.

And it's nice I've got, like,
John now,

so it's not, like, me
off-loading on you.

Like, you know, I have
that support in John,

and it feels really nice. You know,

I wanted you to have that.
And now we're complete.

So you'll always be there,
obviously, for me.

Don't worry. But it's... Yeah.
Always, darling.

Always you have my support.

But I'm so happy you've got
that now... Yeah.

..from a partner. Yeah. From John.

And you can plan your life now. Mm.
And just get on with it.

It's amazing seeing my mum and dad
so happy.

Finally, my parents approve
of my partner

and I feel so lucky
that it is John.

I can't express how happy I am
to see them both.

She's transformed into a beautiful
young woman.

She always has been,

but that confidence that she lacks,
she's gained.

I'm surprised, really.
She looks different to me physically

and her heart looks different
as well.

So I think she's very, very happy.
This is what we wanted.

It'll just be nice to see them,
won't it? Yeah.

You'll notice
that they love to overshare as well.

They're very open and honest,
just like me.

I am a little bit nervous
about Reiss meeting the family.

I know how intense they can be,

and my sister is very straight
and upfront,

so I just hope they don't
give him too much of a grilling.

Hello! Hello!

Bonjour. Oh, bonjour.

I would love to know
more about Reiss

and delve deeper into

how he feels, his intentions
for the rest of his life.

Right. Want to know everything.

OK, where should we start?

Because Leisha wants a family.
She wants that solid unit.

And I need to know Reiss is in it
for the same thing.

How do you feel your feelings
are going, then?

I mean, you can't not like Reiss.
I know.

He's like the most kindest...

He looks after me.
We're laughing all the time.

We joke around.
I feel so comfortable with Reiss,

it's unbelievable. Mm-mm.

Like I have been my complete
and utter genuine self.

He's really good for me.

Do you think you're falling in love?

Are you in love?

Do you think it could
turn into love?

I wouldn't say I'm in love
just yet...

..but it's got potential.

At the beginning, um...

..Leisha was getting feelings a bit
faster than myself.

I did say, like,
Leish is like 100mph.

She is an open book. And
I'm unfortunately a slow burner.

Right.

But, like, we communicated
that properly with each other.

The experiment's going to come to
an end.

So where do you see it going?
After the experiment,

it will be obviously a huge test
for us.

We live, like, as you know,

it's not around the corner
from each other.

But every weekend
I'll either come up here,

and Leisha can come to Essex.
Right, will you?

Yeah. He's got such a big family

and they're so close, and they're
so welcoming to me.

I would move anywhere with
a big family unit.

I'm dreading when it's over

because I just know I'm going to
be like, "Where's Reiss?" Oh!

Miserable! I'll be like,
"Where's Reiss?"

I'm worried
because I can see she is falling.

I can already see that you're booking
your flights to Essex.

You really,
really want to settle down.

Yeah. You want to have a family.
Yeah.

I need to have that gut feeling
that you're the same.

I want all that as well.
Of course I do.

I thought I'd have children by now.

I'm scared for the long term. Yeah.

I wouldn't still be here if we
didn't have a connection. Yeah.

Yeah. At the end of the day,
I am a slow...

I do take a bit longer.

We just need to know
that the intentions are there.

Yeah. Yeah. There is?

We wouldn't have
had these discussions about,

like, things after the experiment
if there wasn't no intention there.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
But I do think, you know, early on

whether it's worth making
the effort for. Yeah.

I'm going to leave you just to have
a little natter between yourself.

After speaking to Reiss, after
getting to know him a bit better,

I'm definitely worried
about Leisha getting hurt

because I feel like Leisha is
somebody that's willing

to compromise a lot.

Right. Right. Pleasure

meeting you. I don't want a kiss.

LAUGHTER

My worry is - is Reiss as into
Leisha as Leisha is into Reiss?

I'll see yous in a bit.
Catch you later now. Bye.

What do you think?
I can't help my doubts.

But what is your doubts, then?

Is he willing to put in the work?
Because things are going to happen.

There's going to be... Yeah.
There's going to be hurdles, right?

That is the one thing that does
concern me.

The distance can work no bother.
If you really,

really like each other

and you're really into each other.

I need to feel like he is like,

"Oh, my God, I want to worship
the ground she walks on."

But I don't think he's like
that as a person.

Maybe not, then.
So we'll find out. Yeah.

That is my concern.

Leisha wants things
for the longevity,

and I hope he feels
the same way for her.

Leighanne just wants an answer now.
Of course.

And I want the answer now. Trust me,
I'm just as impatient as you.

And I've had to calm myself.

It is a bit of a reality check

that my feelings
are maybe slightly stronger.

That does scare me. I'm nervous.

My whole bubble just burst,
because that is one of my fears -

what are we going to be like
in the real world?

Trust your gut.
And what's your gut telling you?

I feel very conflicted.
I feel very, very conflicted.

I haven't heard from Keye
since last night.

I have no idea where he is.

Keye walking away makes me
feel abandoned.

I don't walk away from problems,
I face them.

If this is how he reacts
to something like this,

how is he going to react
when we have big issues?

Is he going to walk away from me
all the time?

I can't do that.

D and I weren't able to get on
the same page and resolve things.

I needed to be somewhere

where I felt comfortable
so I didn't spiral.

So I came home.

I'm just upset that we couldn't
sort things out last night,

we couldn't understand each other.

So I have invited D to come
and talk things through.

Quite anxious about meeting Keye
today because I'm hurt.

He left, not giving me an
explanation why.

And I do really need an apology,
so we can solve things and move on.

Hey.

Oh. Hello. Hi. Hi.

How are you?

Not great.

I don't understand, like, what I've
done that was so horrible

that you couldn't be
in the same space.

I was really overwhelmed
in the cat cafe

because I felt so uncomfortable with
that situation.

Um, and I apologise
for shutting down,

but I felt like I had
to keep answering

the same question over
and over again

about being OK with cats, even
though I felt like I'd already...

I'd already communicated
that, the more it was

just bringing back those feelings
of, like, frustration.

Like, the walk away thing
was just...

Sometimes it feels like...
I feel, um...

I feel abandoned.

I'm so sorry that what I did

made you feel abandoned.
I never want you to feel that way.

I will never abandon you.

You're stuck
with me, whether you like it or not.

Thank you for owning it
and apologising.

It's like literally all
I wanted was

just to hear that
All we needed was this.

Yeah. I know.

It shows that we're still
a new couple.

We're still learning.

Even when we may not like each other

or maybe are annoyed with
each other,

I always love you.

This conversation
has gone my best case

scenario version,
so I couldn't be happier.

Oh. I missed you so much. Same.

Keye walking away triggers something
in me.

It reminds me of being abandoned,
and I don't like that.

But I'm glad we can
finally put this behind us,

move on, and I hope it doesn't
happen again.

How's it coming along, babe?
It's doing well. It's nearly done.

I like sitting here
watching you cook.

Do you? A proper little wife.
A proper little wife.

Yeah. I can't wait to see my
mum today.

I'm the baby of the family.
Me and my mum are best mates

and she doesn't
want to let me go anywhere.

She doesn't want to lose me.

And I think at the end of the day,

she doesn't know a lot
about this man.

So she's going to use today

to find out as much
as she can about Bailey.

I've missed Rebecca so much
because I see her every day.

It's been hard.

The wedding day really wasn't
what I expected,

and I'm not sure
the spark was there,

so it'll be interesting
to see how they're doing.

Ah!

Oh, my God! Hello!

It's so emotional seeing my mum

because I haven't seen her
since the wedding day.

And I usually see her probably

every other day in normal life,
and I speak to her every day.

So this is going to be
huge for us.

Here he is. Hello. Hi!

Oh. Matching jumpers. I know. How
are you? Are you all right?

Hi. Oh! Good to see you again.
Lovely to see you. You all right?

Yeah. Nice to see you guys.

Bec's mum is super important to her.

You can tell she's missed Wendy.

That'll make Bec even
more reluctant

to moving, or spending some time
in Hove in the future.

Do you get on?
We've been getting on really well.

Really? Yeah. Oh, that is...
Honestly, that

is such a relief to me.
Really? Here we go. Oh, lovely.

It's so nice having you here, Mum.
There you go. Thank you.

Gorgeous. A home-cooked dinner.

I could get used to this.
My favourite.

Can you pass me my wine,
please? Of course.

Thank you. Shall we do a little
cheers? Let's do a little cheers.

Yeah. Cheers. Cheers.

Cheers, baby girl. Thank you so much
for coming. Cheers, Bailey.

Lovely to see you again. You, too.

What did you think
about the wedding day, then?

So I didn't really get a vibe of

whether you were going to be good
together or not. Yeah.

I'm, like, so happy
and very much in love with Bec.

Really? Yeah! Are you in love? Yeah.
Really?!

Yeah. Yeah.
Oh, my God, that's amazing.

I'm so pleased
that they're getting on really well.

I didn't expect them to be as happy
as they are.

I didn't expect them to be in love.

So it's been such
a lovely turnaround

that they're doing so well.

What do you think
of being up north, then, Bailey?

Bluebelle is my anchor down there,
and if it wasn't the case,

I'd probably be up here
in a heartbeat.

Distance is a massive issue still,

that we haven't sorted out.
Yeah, of course.

But you've got my family worried
about it,

and I'm sure you're probably worried
about it as well.

I am worried about it. Yeah.
So... I've missed her so much.

We haven't been able to solve
the issue of, like, forever.

And, like, if we do want to have
a family and where we'll be.

We will want to have each other
there every day.

And, like, a part-time relationship
won't be enough, will it?

So we are inevitably lumping
pressure on Bec, which isn't nice.

Yeah, I've met someone that I do

see myself spending my life with,
and I want to... He described me

as his perfect woman. Aw.
She is my perfect woman. Is she?

There's like this black
cloud looming over us,

so we talk about really fun stuff
like the future and children. Yeah.

And then I think always in the back

of our minds, that's now at
the forefront of our minds, is like,

"Oh, but how would you make
that work?"

Cos you've got the distance
and what you're going to do.

You're coming to the end of it all,
aren't you? Yeah.

Do you want me to take Dots out
for a little walk?

If you don't mind?
I'll give her a couple of minutes.

Yeah. Thank you. See you in a min.
See you a minute. Aw!

So what do you think of him?
I think he's absolutely gorgeous.

I do see a future with him.
And that's the toughest thing,

because we've fell
in love with each other

and we're getting to the end
of this process,

and it's like as if there's,
like, a block.

It's like... And then
when you get to the end,

Bailey's there, I'm there.
Yeah, four hours away.
Like, how do we make that work?

But you see, I want you to be really
happy.

I want you to be happy,
but I want you to be happy here.

I don't want you
to be happy elsewhere.

Do you know what I mean?
I know. Because it's just...

I feel like I've missed you so much
while you've been away.

The thought of you not being here
every day, it kills me.

I know.

It's brilliant
that he's got Bluebelle,

and it's brilliant that he's such
a present father.

But for our relationship, it's not
ideal. Yeah, it's not great.

He does come with baggage. He does.

Yeah. I'm so happy here,

and I don't want to leave my
family here.

Especially me. Especially Mummy.
Who's going to look

after your babies
when you have your babies?

It's tough.

It would be hard to let all
of that go.

There's a lot of reason as to
why I'm here.

It honestly just worries me.
It panics me.

If I could have my own way,

I would live in the apartment
with Bailey for the rest of my life.

Home stay has shown us that,
actually, that's not our reality.

And I never, ever want
to take Bailey away from Bluebelle.

He needs to go back to her.

We've got to address it sooner
rather than later.

I obviously don't want you to go.
Yeah.

I know. But if he was your
forever person,

then you've got to prioritise
Bailey, haven't you?

Mmm.

I know. That's the big
question mark.

Next time...

I've never felt like
this before about anybody.

..it's the final commitment
ceremony.

I love you now, I loved you at
the wedding day,

and I'm just so excited
for everything.

While some couples are more certain
than ever before...

I cannot imagine the rest of my life
with anyone else.

..damage from home stays...

I did feel the pressure a lot of
like,

"Bec, are you going to move to
Hove?"

..push others further apart.

I'm not ready to say yes to that.

We have had a lot
of unnecessary drama.

Do I need that?

In seven weeks,
how do I not know you?

And Steven's secret scandal...

I found out he was busy swiping on
a dating app. I wasn't.

..sends shock waves through
the group.

That is Steven's profile,
which is verified. Oh!

That is not me. It's your face!

I know what I'm saying is true.
That is not me on Hinge.
