- Hello!
- Previously...

- Have you got tattoos on
your neck?
- Yeah.

..the group reunited
for one final dinner party...

- I actually feel sick.
- I want to see Anita.

I don't know if I could do
that right now.

..as they discovered
which marriages had thrived...

I feel like I want to be
wherever you are.

And enjoy the rest
of our lives together.

The next step
for us is starting a family,

and I've never seen that
with anyone else in my entire life.

Yeah! Me too!

Wow. That is love.

..and which failed to survive.

I got completely blindsided by it.

I honestly just love you so much.

But as speculation spiralled...

I've heard Julia-Ruth and Joe
got matching tattoos.

- Hello!
- Ugh!

..hidden truths...

I flirted with you cos I knew
it was gonna piss Nelly off.

- ..were finally exposed.
- Don't do that.

Don't ever use women like
that! It's vile.

And as old wounds resurface
for Julia-Ruth and Divarni...

- Why did you stay?
- Because I had
- BLEEP
- feelings.

No, you didn't.

It sucks to even be
in the position that I was,

- cos you couldn't own up to
your shit.
- Then leave!

..it was Maeve's need for answers...

Would you want to be
in a relationship with Joe?

- Yes or no?
- I'm not talking to you.

Well, I'm talking to you!

..that threw the night into turmoil.

Don't put your hands
to me like that, man!

Don't do it!

It's just a lot.

SHE SOBS

Tonight...

Welcome to the end
of a remarkable journey.

..the group faced the experts
for the final time.

I love being where Bailey lives.
I love it.

For some, it's the
celebration they hoped for.

- And we want a family soon.
- Yes. I'm sorry.

THEY LAUGH

The more time I'm spending
with Davide,

the more secure I'm feeling.

I love him a lot.

I came into this experiment
wanting to find someone

to spend the rest of my life
with, and I've found that.

CHEERING

But for others,
the pain of the past returns.

I would never think

about apologising to
someone that's hurt me so much.

I felt cheated. I felt gutted.

It's not what
she signed up for, is it?

I've never felt I was the only
person you really wanted.

Do you know what?
This isn't for me any more.

- He was into you and
you hurt him.
- I do apologise,

but I've acknowledged
what I've done.

That was the worst apology
I've ever heard in my life.

And will Steven finally admit
to Nelly's accusations?

I know you did some things
to hurt me.

But my question is,

are you going to finally admit
the dating app thing?

- Was it true?
- You swore
that you did NOT do this.

Just own it now,

because otherwise,
it's going to be bad for you.

Steven.

Welcome...

..to the end of
a remarkable journey.

No matter where you stand today -

in a thriving relationship,

or simply having learnt more
about yourself.

What truly matters is

that you've all taken on
an extraordinary journey.

You've demonstrated bravery
and strength.

That's something you should all
take great pride in.

There's no doubt that
last night's dinner party

gave us plenty to talk about.

But tonight is also a chance
to reflect on the highs...

..learn from the lows, and
celebrate everything in between.

But before we dive into that,

let's take a moment
to look back at

where your journeys first started.

Oh, God.

I haven't been in love before.

If this doesn't work, then
I don't really know what will.

I'm just really hoping this is it.

I want to be someone's priority.

I just want to be
with someone forever.

I'm scared,
but I'm definitely ready.

I really hope this
is my happily ever after.

I am praying Mr Perfect is
at the end of the island.

There's a lot riding on today.
It has to be right.

- Hi. Lovely to meet you.
- Davide. Nice to meet you.

Hello.

- How are you doing?
- Hi, I'm good. Leisha.

Leisha. Reiss.

- How are you?
- You look amazing.
- Thank you. So do you.

- Lovely to meet you.
- And you.

- You're beautiful, man.
- Thank you.

It's love at first sight.

When I say wed, you say Dean.

- Wed!
- Dean!
- Wed!
- Dean!

She's absolutely beautiful.

Aw.

- What's your name?
- Leah.
- Leigh.

- No!
- LAUGHTER

Ah, you joking!

It was an easy answer for me. Pause.

Oh, no. Sorry,
I wasn't supposed to... Ah!

I can't believe she's on a horse.

You will now exchange your rings.

I was going to go straight
in for a kiss, mate!

I may not know everything
about you apart from your name,

which I may have already forgotten.

- John.
- It's John, though.
Yeah, I know.

Please just accept me
and let me show you

how magical life can be
with me by your side.

Aw!

You may seal this moment
with a kiss.

Go for it. Sorry, Dad.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I'm taken.

My husband is fit.

Ha-ha, I got you! I got her.

You were ticking every single box.

I'm so happy.

The whole day feels like
a fairy-tale to me.

I'm feeling super-duper pleased.

They have matched me with someone

that I've been looking
for the longest time.

It has been...

..the most perfect day.

I think I have met
my Prince Charming.

I had a tissue, I'll give you one.
I ain't got one.

He's all tissued out.

Oh.

Of course it takes you
all right back, doesn't it,

to all of the hope and the belief
that this is the one?

And sometimes, if that
hasn't worked out,

it can be so hard to watch.

You all right, Leisha?

Yeah.

I'm just a bit sad.

Yeah.

But obviously, I've learnt a lot

and Reiss is obviously incredible,
and we had a good...

..we had a good crack at it.

Anita, how was that for you?

When you're watching that,
it's emotional and it's...

..it hits home

what we've just been through.

Cos you're in a bubble
and you're in it,

and you don't realise
until you come out...

..what we've just done.

But also happy as well.

Like, seeing the couples
that are still together,

it's just so nice.

Yeah, it's worked for some people.

I hope you can feel the
incredible support in this room...

..and we're excited to catch up
with you all.

First up to the couch,

if we could have Rebecca and Bailey.

- Hello.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- How are we? You all right?

- How are you both?
- Good, thank you. Really well.

- Did we come coordinated today?
- Accidentally.

- Yeah, accidentally.
- Accidentally coordinated.

Ah, but they say that
the closer a couple grows,

the more alike they become.

- We're thinking alike now.
- Mm.
- BAILEY CHUCKLES

- Yeah.
- Before we delve in too much...

- Yeah.
- ..let's remind ourselves
of your journey.

Oh, God.

I don't struggle to meet women.
I just haven't met the right person.

SHE LAUGHS

I don't think it's that,
like, real...

..sexual pull.
He was not my type.

You know, like, I've...

..catch a little bit of
feelings for you.

- Do you know what I mean?
It's going the right way.
- What?

Bailey is firmly out of
the friend zone.

You look fucking beautiful.

Love's a feeling,
and the feeling is there.

- SHE SQUEALS
- And I feel like...

- I do love you.
- Aw.

- Love you too.
- THEY CHUCKLE

Aw.

I don't want anything to change.

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

I don't want to
spend time without you.

You are the most incredible woman
that I've ever met.

I love you, Beck and I always will.

In my eyes, you are a superhero.

I have found the man
that I've been searching for.

I love you.

- Aw.
- That was mad, innit?

That is so nice.

- Are you all right?
- Yeah.

So, since you've left the
experiment, things are good.

- Yeah.
- Yeah, really good. Yeah.

We've been loving life on
the outside, yeah.

You know what? It's interesting.

- You both went through lots
of highs...
- Yeah.

- ..but there were some lows.
- Yeah.

And when you think about towards
the end of the experiment,

- I think there was a lot of
concern around the distance...
- Yeah.

- ..between where you both live.
- Yeah.

So how have you both navigated that?

We're 4.5 hours away from
each other.

But we spend a lot of time together.

- Yeah.
- A lot of time together,
don't we?

Yeah, probably spent... Yeah,
50, 60% of the time together.

If it was like we could move
in right now together,

I would 100% do it now.

I think we're ready, yeah.

I think I'm much more open

to moving to Hove than I was
when we were...

..you know,
deep in the experiment.

- We're progressing that
conversation.
- We are.
- We are.

I love being where Bailey lives.
I love it.

- So we don't have a date...
- Not yet.

..but we would like to
be together full-time?

- Yes.
- Yes, 100%.

And we would like to
plan for a family?

Yes.

So we want a family soon?

- Er, yes. Oh, sorry.
- THEY LAUGH

Uh, yeah, we've spoken about,
like, rough timelines.

Like, by the end of next year,

we would hope that...

..then, we'd be trying by then.

- It sounds mad saying out loud,
just like...
- Yeah.

But the most important is

that you're talking about it
and you're expressing how you feel.

I feel like you have enabled me
to be my true self throughout this,

and I feel like...that's helped me
be kind of more emotional,

be happy to talk about
my emotions...

..be vulnerable at times.

I've realised that I've got
this kind of soft inside

that I'm happy to show
to the world, I think.

What you're describing here,
Bailey,

and I think it's changed
for you throughout the process,

- is healthy masculinity.
- Yeah.

And I really want to applaud
that in you.

We haven't seen you sort
of saying, "Yeah, I love you."

It's been "I love you.
I'm putting my heart out there,

"I'm being emotionally available
and intelligent",

and good on you.

Bailey has showered me with love
throughout this in every way,

and that has absolutely taken
any guard down that I had up.

And yeah, I'm grateful for that
because it has meant

that this experience for me
has allowed me to be my true self.

Well, then, on that note,
we will say

that it has been an honour
to have you both here.

- Thank you.
- Thank you, guys,
as well.
- Thank you, guys.

- Yeah. Give me a kiss. Love you.
- APPLAUSE

- Thank you, guys.
- Cheers.

- Good luck.
- Thank you.

Yeah!

Thank you.

Next up, if we could have Maeve.

Now, there's a lot
that we have to unpack.

But before we do,

we'd like to take a look at the
journey that you had with Joe, OK?

Oh, God.

- Hello.
- Hiya, darling. You all right?

He's in the top five fittest men
I have ever seen.

- How do you feel?
- You're not sure?

I'm not 100% sure.

I think you put on this, like,
facade,

but I know there's a soft interior.

I just feel like every time
when I let more people in,

that's when I get fucked over more.

I'm not going to fuck you over.
Do you know what I mean?

- I know, but...
- You don't need to
worry about that.

Everyone else has, though.

I do feel like we are understanding
each other more and more every day.

I've never actually met someone
that's so, like, selfless.

And I genuinely think I am...

Well, I have fallen
in love with you, because...

APPLAUSE

I do love you too.

We're all right,
but we're not at the same time.

Like, last night,
we had an argument.

I was like, "Don't tell me
what I need to do."

- So I stormed out got the apartment.
- You did?

Oh, yes.

I've, like,
been in denial about all,

like, the differences
we actually have.

- Maybe we're not compatible at all.
- Do you love her?

Am I, like, head over heels
truly in love?

Probably not.

And I would just feel like a fucking
idiot.

It's not going to fucking work.

Fuck this.

Fuck this.

Like, you don't do that,

you don't say that you love them
and then fuck them off.

I've heard whispers.

Have you slept with Joe?

Yep.

- You're a horrible human.
- OK.

I can't believe
that Joe's actually done this.

You don't tell someone
that you love them,

fucking leave them,
and then two days later,

start cracking on with another wife,
and then fuck them in Lanzarote.

Well, that's what happened.

Wow.

That was a lot.
We're going to unpack it all,

but first, it's very important to
say that we did invite Joe

to be here with us.

He has declined.

Now, just so you know,
I think Joe is a coward.

- Me, too.
- OK. OK.

I think someone who continues
to return to this couch

time and time again alone,
but they return,

you know what that person is?
Courageous.

I am quite a strong person.
I'm proud of myself for it.

Everything that I've done,
I've learned from it.

And I love that about you.

What you've been through
has been a real journey.

Now, when you look back at that,

what was it that you heard Joe
say for the first time?

That he didn't know how
he actually felt towards us

and that he wasn't in love with me.

I mean, it all makes sense now.
Do you know what I mean?

But, like, just say.
Just be honest.

Last night we heard that there was
a, say, a relationship

between Joe and Julia-Ruth.

- Yes.
- And I think that it's important
for us

just to address that in this moment.

So is there anything that you would
like to say to Julia-Ruth?

Is there anything that you would
like to say to Julia-Ruth?

Normally, I would never, ever,
ever think about apologising

to someone that hurt me so much.

But...

..I want to apologise for anything
that I've said

to actually upset you and hurt you.

Because I have
a vicious mouth on me.

I'm very aware of that, and I do
want to apologise if I have said

anything that's been
bang out of order.

Thank you. I mean,
I think your reaction made sense,

but I really do appreciate
the apology.

So thank you.
And obviously I'm sorry too.

I would never have done
that a couple of months ago.

Just to clarify, like, that's not
something I normally do.

Yeah, obviously. When's the last
time you apologised to someone?

- Apart from that,
I can't remember.
- Yeah.

What's interesting is you seem to be
a lot more confident

in self today than the last time
that we saw you on the couch.

Yeah, I feel like I'm a completely
different person.

Like, I've learned so much about me,
and, like,

I am a lot stronger than I thought
I ever was.

And that makes me feel like
a million times better about myself.

You truly have evolved
into a better version of yourself.

- Yeah.
- I think you have tremendous courage,

and you should never forget that.

What I love about the way
you've carried yourself

through this process is
you haven't just gone,

well this is how all men treat me,
therefore, you know, this is the way

my destiny is heading.

Somewhere in amongst this journey,
you found yourself.

And now you are sitting here with
a different level of strength.

You're starting to build
that real self-esteem,

that belief that you actually do
deserve your great love.

- Yeah.
- And I think it's just around
the corner.

Thank you.

Good on you, Maeve.

APPLAUSE

1,000,000%,
I am a different me from walking in.

Like, walking down the aisle
to here right now,

I have had such an amazing growth
in myself and I couldn't be prouder.

Let's welcome to the couch,
Reiss and Leisha.

APPLAUSE

- Hello, you two.
- Hello.

Well, it was clear last night
that you have some big

and confronting feelings,
both of you.

But before we get into that,
let's take a look back

at your Married
at First Sight experience.

- Hi.
- Hello.

First thing I noticed was her
beautiful green eyes

and her lovely smile.

He kissed me on the cheek,

which is like making me
a little bit crazy, I think.

Does he like me? Does he not?

Why didn't you kiss me at the end?

You offered your cheek,
so I went for the cheek.

I need you to take control.

I don't think my husband fancies me.

I don't want to get my heart broken.

Do you feel
like you're falling for me, though?

Easy, girl. It's been like two days.

Come on. It's way too soon to be,
like, falling for anyone.

Hold my hand. Everybody else is like
holding hands

and you're just fucking walking off
and leaving me.

I stopped for two seconds. You're
like, "Fucking hold my hands."

The way you handle shit, it's like,
to me, it's like immature.

I'm somebody that does need
that little bit of reassurance.

I've seen the connection
that we've had,

and I do want to see more of it.

You're so comfortable.

I feel like me and Reiss
are definitely going

in the right direction.

We're going in the love direction.

I love your hair.

I'll try and control my urges too.

Keep the inner beast at bay.

Leisha wants it.

- Lunchtime, mornings, like, any time
she can get it, you know.
- Right, OK!

I'm just so lucky
to be here with you.

- Yeah. We're strong now, aren't we?
- I'm happy.

I'm happy too.

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

- Yes.
- I can really see myself moving here.

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

- Ever noticed that?
- Slow down, young Buck.

Leisha's very fast paced
with her emotions.

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

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

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

Leisha is 100% into you,

and you're 80% into her
in the relationship.

- Probably, yeah.
- I don't understand,
like, what I'm doing.

It's like not allowing
you to commit.

You obviously move at a different
pace to me.

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

really strong feelings for me.

I feel like you just keep
pushing them away.

I don't really know what to do.

I just hope that I am the person
that you want.

Like, I do obviously love you.

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

I'm just so scared of being hurt.

I feel like you put pressure on me

to move at a faster pace
than I was ready for.

With all that said,

your thoughtful,
caring, and beautiful nature

is something I've always wanted
in a partner.

Our adventure is far from over.

I'm definitely in love with you.

- Got the rest of my life.
- I'm so excited!

Thank you.

- You all right?
- Yeah.

Well, of course,
where we left the two of you there,

you were making the decision
to commit to each other

and continue the relationship.

So why don't you fill us in on what
happened between there and here.

After the experiment,
Leisha come to Essex,

and there was like a comment made.

Leisha said, "A footballer messaged
me last night.

"But don't worry, I put it to bed.

"I let him know like I'm with
someone.

"There's nothing to worry about."

I thought, OK, fair enough. And then
the second day Leisha said to me,

"If it don't work between me and
you, that's all right.

"I'll just get a footballer."

So, like, my head
was spinning a little bit from that.

And then a couple of weeks later,

we went on a night out and
Leisha started talking to a boy.

So I started talking to a girl,
and Leisha came charging over,

like, causing a bit of a scene
and saying,

"What are you doing flirting
with her, Reiss?"

So I kind of cooled things off.

I said, "Look, give me a couple
of days to think what I want."

When I returned back to Essex,
I made up my mind.

Do you know what?
This isn't for me any more.

So I expressed that to Leisha
when I got home.

Leisha you look like maybe you have

a different perspective
on what happened there.

To be fair,
I say things out of insecurities.

Obviously, I didn't mean it,
you know?

But, like, Reiss never really said
anything to me...

- I did at the time.
- He did at the
time.
- It's a weird thing to say.

Like, never really kind of, like,
told me really about how it made

him feel. When we left
the experiment,

he did go quite distant.

But I feel like we did break
up over, like, minor arguments.

I still don't feel like that was
enough to break up a relationship

if somebody was fully invested.

It wasn't just that, though.
It was a build-up.

I've never really felt like I was

the only person
that you really wanted.

What you have done
throughout this entire journey,

Leisha, is pursued Reiss,
and what Reiss does,

he's a classic distancer,

the more that you pursue, the more
that Reiss distances himself,

and you two are just reacting off
of fear.

- Your fear is that
he's going to...
- Run away.

- Run away. Your fear is what?
- Getting the pressure.

Exactly. Getting too much pressure.

So you both are in fear,

but you're reacting
to it differently.

I feel like I was
always wanting more.

It's probably hence the reason why
some of these flyaway comments

- were said.
- But sometimes, like you said,

like insecurities can be
a bit hurtful.

Maybe think twice
before saying that.

- Is it going to upset someone?
- Yeah.

And I guess this
has been a real theme, hasn't it,

throughout the relationship?

Insecurity and the way that you each
communicate about that.

And I'm just wondering
if you were able to say to Leisha,

"Hey, that really hurts
my feelings."

You know, showing that little bit
of emotional rawness

and vulnerability could have had
a really different impact on her.

It's just not what I do.
I bottle that stuff up.

And how's that working for you?

Probably not the best.

Yeah.

I just need to be a lot more open
with my emotions

instead of bottling things away.

Read your partner.
See what they need.

I think, Leisha, also,
there's some learning here around

you're feeling
like you need more reassurance

from your partner, but there might
be a healthier way of doing it

than to kind of try
to make them jealous.

Yeah, definitely.

How did it feel for both of you
watching your life together?

Oh. So emotional.

Obviously, I'm gutted that, you know
I'm not walking away with Reiss.

The feelings for me
don't just go away.

Reiss will always hold
a really special place in my heart.

And like, obviously, there's still
a lot of feelings there.

You are a beautiful girl
inside and out,

and I'm just sorry it didn't
work out between us.

Yeah. Me too.

Don't change being you.

You are an amazing person,
so thank you.

So are you.

It's beautiful.
Well, we've certainly loved having

the two of you
within this experiment.

It's been a roller-coaster.
We wish you both all the best

- with your future relationships
as well.
- Thank you.

APPLAUSE

All I wanted was the fairy tale.
I wanted the love story.

There was many times

that we had amazing times
and I just loved every minute of it.

Those feelings are still quite raw.

They're not just going
to go away overnight.

I didn't find the love
that I wanted,

but I'm putting the love
back into myself.

My perfect match will be somewhere.

He just wasn't obviously at the end
of that aisle, unfortunately.

OK. Next up,

Leigh and Leah.

- Hello.
- Hi.
- You both, could we say,
had a contentious vow renewal?

Let's take a look back
to remind ourselves.

Oh, fuck, fuck, fuck.

Your behaviour, jokes and remarks
towards other women

only ever caused me
to be more closed off.

If this hadn't have happened,
I feel I may have felt

- more comfortable
to let my guard down.
- Disagree.

If I'm truly thinking
about my future,

I need someone
who trusts me without question.

I often felt
like I was being managed, not met.

I am leaving this marriage here.

For you to say that you felt managed
throughout the whole....

- I didn't say throughout the whole.
- OK.
- You add things in all the time.

- Managed, not met.
- I need to feel
more supported by my partner.

And if you weren't a closed book,

maybe you would have got that from
the beginning.

You're acting as if I haven't
fucking tried, I have tried.

- I don't feel my energy was met.
- Neither do I.

- Got anything else to say?
- Not really.

Now that you've had time to reflect,
what's your takeaway

about your time here
in this experiment?

To start with vow renewals,

Leah said that she felt
like she was managed and not met.

That I interrogated her
and that I led her on.

Throughout the process, I feel like
you had more control

of the situation. You knew where you
stood more than I did.

- I've got to disagree with you.
- How I feel.

Yeah, that's valid.
But what I mean,

I was honest with you the whole
way through,

whether it be good or bad.

And you had the choice to leave
or stay.

I'm not saying you're in control.

I'm saying you were more
in control of, like,

what would happen next?

I don't think I was
in control of it.

No, I was just going with it,
and we both had a choice

whether it was something we wanted
to be in or not.

You could argue that you two,
in terms of compatibility,

are two of the strongest on paper.

So now when you think back,
why did the plane never take off?

- Ask her.
- I would take that one.
I feel like that was on me.

I think massively
because I did have my walls up,

and I come in here thinking I was
open and healed and ready

- and I wasn't.
- So you're accepting
the responsibility

for the plane not taking off?

100%?

- Leigh, you're taking that?
- Yeah.

And, Leah, you're assigning that to
Leigh.

No, I think like it takes two
to tango,

but I think I was ready
to probably just give it a go.

But, you know,
I'm not putting it all on her.

Like, I know I'm a pain in the arse
as well.

And I think I've learned a lot about
myself in this whole experiment.

- Like, a lot.
- What would you say your
greatest lesson is

from your time here?

I can be persistent.
I can be resilient.

So it's taught me to sit
in my feelings a lot more.

Well, look at that.
Look at that.

So now, Leigh, your walls were high,
sky-high.

Where are they today?

I feel like I'm on a bit of
a journey at the moment.

I discovered that about myself.

I didn't realise how closed off I
was and how maybe not ready I was

and how much I self-sabotage things
because I'm scared of getting hurt.

So now I'm aware of all of that.

I'm trying to work through not
letting what's happened in my past

ruin what could potentially be
my future.

- Thank you so much and we wish you
the best in the future.
- Thank you.

APPLAUSE

The next couple we want to go to is
April and Leo.

Hi.

April, we noticed
that you were quite upset

when you watched the video
a little bit earlier.

Yeah. I love love
and I do want to find my person,

do you know what I mean? on the
wedding day, I was so happy

and I was like, "Oh, my God, this
has got so much potential."

And then, you know, obviously didn't
work out that way.

So I think, yeah,
a bit of a realisation, I guess.

Yeah,
and I think it can be difficult

when you're in the situation
and there's so much going on

to kind of remember where it
all started,

because the two of you
had quite a strong start.

Yeah, definitely. Yeah.
The wedding day was really strong.

The chemistry was there instantly,

but as we got further on with
the experiment,

we just... We needed different
things from the relationship

and it is a shame.

But it gives me hope moving on
in the future

that there is still someone out
there that makes you feel like that.

So, April, what would you say
the takeaways are for you?

I'm definitely going to take
so much of what I've learned here

into my next relationship,

and I'm glad we can be OK
and like take from it,

because it's a big old thing
to do together.

Well, it's been a joy
seeing your journey

and we wish you all the very best
in your future relationships.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

APPLAUSE

Next up to the couch,
Anita and Paul.

Sounds good.

- It's good to see you.
- Thank you.

The two of you were our first couple
to leave the experiment.

Yeah. Obviously didn't find
what I came for.

And to be only in two weeks
was massively disappointing.

Yesterday, we saw when Paul entered
the mixer

that you became quite emotional.

I did, yes.

When I left the experiment,

I had time to think about
what had just happened,

and I went from, "Oh, it is what
it is"

to "I actually am P'd off."

And I had in my mind that I wasn't
actually going to speak to him

at all until today in front of yous.

Paul, would you like to give
your thoughts?

At that moment?
A little bit confused, yeah.

Sometimes you have to give people
space and let them breathe.

And I'm not sure why she didn't
think I'd come straight for her,

because that's what I do.

Every time I go into the room,
I go, "Nyeoww."

Anita, the whole experience
for you was quite tricky.

Where do you think things
went wrong?

I found it very difficult
to communicate with Paul.

We were just on two
totally different levels.

I like somebody who says what they
mean and somebody

very straight talking,
like myself.

We're big girls and boys
at the end of the day.

- We've been probably through a lot
in our lives.
- Speak for yourself!

I mean, Paul, I know you're
making...

There's a bit of humour there.

You have to, don't you?

Is there any learning,
do you feel like, on your part?

I'm only here for one reason
tonight. I've made the effort

to come here for one reason and one
reason only.

To thank you, Anita,
because I haven't found myself.

She started me on that journey.

So I suppose
what I'm hearing you say

is that Anita has really allowed you
to sort of look at yourself,

find yourself a little bit.

Beginning, we're on the road.
I thank her for that.

It's good to have somebody
who gives you that drive

and that impetus
to do something about it.

And I found someone
to do that for me.

Yeah, but that's not
what she was here for.

It's not what she signed up for,
is it?

You signed up for love,

and not someone who was a project.

You know, yes,
you're here to thank her,

and absolutely she has put you on
this path, But also...

..it's not really fair, is it?

Yes. You're here to thank her

and absolutely she
has put you on this path.

But also...

..it's not really fair, is it?

That's how I felt, to be honest.
I put a lot into it.

I felt cheated, I felt gutted.

I did actually feel
that I was just let down.

When I went home,
I did doubt myself.

I thought,
do I need to lower my expectations?

Paul, what's making you upset?

I feel guilty.

I do feel guilty.

- It's all right, Paul.
- It's OK, Paul.

I came to say sorry.

Thank you.

Thank you.

What I would say to you is
it is not uncommon

for people
to come into this process believing

that they're ready
and they start to realise,

actually,
I've got a bit of work to do.

- Yeah.
- I mean, I think you
wholeheartedly believed

that you were ready,

but this is a process
that you can't hide within.

I discovered that quickly, yeah.

It really does expose you.

There is nowhere to hide.

- I think the process has helped you
to grow as a person.
- For sure.

It sounds like Anita has been a part
of that.

We're on the road.
I was never on the road before.

She's given me the courage,
so I'm kind of truly grateful.

These are tears of happiness,
really.

I mean, where do the two
of you go from here?

Do you feel like there
is an opportunity for a friendship?

I don't know.

I'm not going to sit here and go,
yeah, I'll be on the end

of the telephone for you, Paul.

I'm not promising anything.

I wish nothing but good health,
happiness and...

I'll look out. Don't you worry.
I'll see you about.

I'll find you. You'll be loved-up
somewhere.

So maybe for now, the two
of you go your separate ways,

work on yourself.

We really wish you all the best with
your future relationships.

- Thank you.
- OK. Good luck, guys.

Thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you.

APPLAUSE

Next up to the couch,
Davide and Keye.

APPLAUSE

- Hi, guys.
- Golden couple.

How have things been
since you've left?

I think they've been really,
really good.

We got into each other's
lives really easily.

Yeah, definitely. I think we found
a really nice balance as well.

Any concerns we had between
the quiet pace of your life and the,

the more fast pace of my life has
actually just worked really nicely.

It's just giving perfect balance to,
I think, both of our lives.

Our work is done.

- You did a fabulous job in every way.
- You're welcome.

You found us the best match.
Yeah, very, very happy.

Well, we know you guys had the most
amazing chemistry

on your wedding day.

Let's take a look at your Married
at First Sight story.

Yeah.

Hello.

- I'm so nervous. You look amazing.
- You look gorgeous.

- You look fantastic.
- Keye, he's very, very handsome.

I'm so, so happy.
I'm like a schoolgirl with a crush.

Sorry, I'm just a bit flushed.

Does that make you happy?

It makes some part of me happy.

And I'm falling for you.

You're perfect in every way.

My breath is taken away.
Like, it's magical.

Hi, guys.

Look at this man.

We are very strongly falling
for each other.

- Are you in love?
- I am in love with you.

I can't imagine my
life without him.

I've known I was in love with Davide
from the moment I met Davide.

I haven't been this happy ever.

The connection we had instantly
at meeting

is the same connection
that we have now.

Keye, I have never had anyone make
me feel as wanted

and desired as you do.

You've shown me what it truly means
to love

with a full, open heart.

Tu es ma maison.

I love you very much.

APPLAUSE

How did that feel watching
that back?

- It was beautiful.
- Yeah.
- It was so nice.

Nothing has changed. If anything it
became even better now.

I love him a lot.

And I stand by my words.

I love just the way that
the two of you hold eye contact.

It's so powerful.

It's like you get caught up
in it, like, oh, this is amazing.

We do!

The more time I'm spending
with Davide,

the more secure I'm feeling
and the more that he listens

and respects my emotions
when I do share them.

I love that you mentioned
security there.

This seems to be a really important
theme for the two of you,

and it's so beautiful.

And I just love
that you've both found that.

We love that too.

The two of you have grown incredibly
over the last few months.

You've taken on the feedback.
You've overcome lots of fears.

You communicate
so much more effectively,

- so we're really proud of you.
- Thank you.

So we absolutely wish you
all the very best.

- Thank you so much.
- Thank you so much.
- Well done.

Ah, there it is.
We love those kisses.

Yay!

Our next couple up here
on the couch with us...

..is Julia-Ruth and Divarni.

APPLAUSE

It's been tough for you guys,

so I think it would be good
to really unpack that today,

but also to get both of your
perspectives on the relationship

and perhaps where things went awry.

Sure.

Before we get into that,

shall we take a look
at your experience?

- Hi.
- Wow.

Absolutely blown away.

I really do think that he's lovely.

I feel like the wedding
was such a high.

But I have woken up with, like,
a different thought this morning.

Knowing that I could potentially be
alone for the rest of my life,

that would be the worst.

Everything is so intense
and so deep.

The last thing I want to do is have
a talk about traumas

and then like,
get into bed with you.

And where are you guys
at with intimacy?

Yeah, I think we're still taking our
time with that one a little bit.

Are you physically attracted
to your husband?

I'm getting there. I'm on the path.

I don't care whether people know
that we have sex or not.

- You do.
- I've said it before.

I said we've had attraction issues.

Have you been emotionally
or physically attracted

to another husband
in this experiment?

Probably Steven.

It's transpired that she'd met some
people from the group

and said that she'd
really fancied Steven,

and that she needs to stay
for two more weeks

because she hopes she gets him
for partner swap.

Julia-Ruth, your partner is unsure

if you are physically attracted
to him.

- What is the answer?
- Yes.

Julia-Ruth said she was attracted to
somebody else's husband.

She doesn't want to be with you.

She will not see a future with you
after this

and she doesn't find you attractive.

When are you going to make
that decision?

Enough is enough, yeah.

- I need to spend the night apart.
- OK.

What more can I do now?

The relationship is in the gutter.
I'm done.

I have written leave.

Leave.

Have you spoken to Julia-Ruth since?

Respectfully, I've kept my distance
because I know who she is.

She's been fucking Joe!

And now you're after Steven
as well.

She's just asked Steven on a date.

And you've asked Steven?
Are you all right?!

I'm sitting here, and once again,
all the blame is on me.

Their husbands are dirty, dirty,
dirty little boys.

How are you feeling, Divarni?

Put a lot into the relationship.

There was a question that was asked
yesterday at the dinner table.

If I was generally, like,
have feelings for Julia-Ruth

and I'm going to still stand by it.

Yeah, I obviously did have feelings
for Julia-Ruth.

Was there a moment or a turning
point that led to you switching off?

Getting to know someone, I want to
know them on a deeper level,

on an emotional level,
and I knew I wasn't getting that.

Even though I was trying for it,

and I would try different ways
to do it.

Julia-Ruth, are you able to pinpoint
from your perspective

where things went wrong?

I think for me,
what's not there was like having...

..that emotional connection
and that best friend

and someone you can laugh with
and connect with,

and someone who's there for you
and actually got your back.

And there's times when I put all my
trust into you and you let me down.

Julia-Ruth, I'm curious.

Did you have strong emotions
and feelings for Divarni

at any point in this experiment?

I mean, maybe when we were intimate.

Maybe like a fondness
kind of developed there.

I don't think I ever,
I'm not going to lie, got there.

Hearing that, Divarni,
did you know that?

Not particularly. I did
obviously feel like I was

pulling a lot of weight when it came
down to the relationship.

With the efforts that I put in,
I don't think it was reciprocated.

Would you say that continuing
to have sex with each other

strengthened your feelings
towards her?

I'm not just having sex just to just
have sex, you know what I mean?

I didn't come here, respectfully,
for that.

So this was always my observation.
What was happening is that Divarni,

every week you had a stronger
feeling,

and then Julia-Ruth, it felt like
every week there was

just like a nonchalant,
I'm not really in this.

That was the observation.

Julia-Ruth, why did you stay?

I think it comes back to
the fondness

and do I just give up?

I literally will flog a horse
until it's dead.

He was into you.
Everybody knows he was into you

and you heard him. Do you have
anything to say to him?

Yeah, I'm really sorry.

That was the worst apology
I've ever heard in my life.

Do you have anything to say to him?

Yeah, I'm really sorry.

That was the worst apology
I've ever heard in my life.

I get that you were hurt,
and I do apologise deeply.

I have made lots of mistakes
in this process,

but I've acknowledged
what I've done.

- But you never cared about me once.
- Divarni, I have,

and I've made lots of mistakes
and I am really sorry.

You're both seeing this
from very different perspectives,

we can see, and you're gridlocked.

You're not going
to find agreement here.

What I think is important to talk
about today

is what's happened more recently.

Tell us about your decision making
to connect with Joe.

How did that change from that
platonic just reaching out

to something more?

I'd actually reached out
to a few people here.

It was a general just, like, search
for, like,

what the fuck just happened
connection.

I think it just escalated and it
went completely the wrong way.

And I think there wasn't a lot
of thought of Maeve or like Divarni,

but also in saying that it was
like done.

Like, we were done out
of this experiment.

So we understand you went away on
a holiday with Joe.

- Mm.
- So tell us about that.

It just ended up being like
debriefing

about like the experiment,

and Joe was very forthcoming.

Like, let's see
if this works past this,

like, come to Manchester.

And I think maybe I wanted
that connection so bad,

I think I was like,
"Oh, my God, maybe it's here."

And turns out obviously it wasn't,

because it was the same situation
of what Joe did to Maeve.

Could it be
that he was love bombing you?

Oh, 1,000%.

And you, Maeve?

Yeah, you see that pattern here?

Yeah, 1,000%.

There's some big lessons here.

You know, when you start seeing some
of that over the top behaviour.

- Yeah.
- You know, I've known you
for five minutes,

let's talk about moving in together,
or "I love you" all of a sudden.

OK. Let's put that to bed for now.

I think it is important to think
a little bit more about last night.

It must have been very hard
for you to come alone.

That took real courage.

How did you feel before entering?

Like I wanted to run.

- I bet.
- Yeah. Not great.

You learned a few things
at the dinner party.

Tell us about it.

I sat down yesterday and Steven said
that he had used me to hurt Nelly.

Like, how dare you?
I'm going to be honest.

Like, I'm not a tool for you to use
to hurt someone else.

I am truly sorry for that.

So angry with myself
first and foremost.

And it's not a good enough excuse.
It doesn't work for me.

Honestly, I can't take it back,
but I can be so apologetic.

You don't do that
to someone you care for.

You also don't do that to me.

I'm truly sorry for that.

Well, credit to you for being here.
Joe's not.

He didn't show up to actually accept

the consequences
of his own behaviour and you have,

so credit where credit is due.

What I'm more interested in is
we're at the end of this process,

and I'm really curious about
what you're both going

to take away into your
next relationships.

I think going into my next
relationship, not be so forward

so straight away with my feelings
because obviously I got burned.

OK, so perhaps protecting yourself
a little bit more,

especially in those early days.

- Yeah, 100%.
- Yeah.

- Are you feeling optimistic?
- 100%.

Walking out of here
with head held high.

- Good for you.
- Yeah.

Julia-Ruth, what have you learned?

Just be a lot more thoughtful.

Yeah, just respectful towards
people and their feelings, yeah.

And this is the empathy.

This is the understanding
of your words and behaviour

and the impact on other people.

I think that's a really big takeaway
for you.

Thank you both for being here.

Takes guts, takes openness,
so good on you,

and all the best
in your next relationships.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

APPLAUSE

The next couple we'd like
to talk to is Sarah and Dean.

Hello.

Dean, I'd like to say that the
tattoos were absolutely...

Was absolutely amazing.

Tell me a little bit more about your
reason for getting a tattoo.

Sarah said she wanted a man
who was teeth, tan and tatted.

And I've got the teeth, I've got the
tan, now I've got the tats.

I haven't now.
They wash off, yeah.

Sarah, last night we saw that Dean
still has feelings for you.

We have been in constant
communication since the experiment.

I think you're just absolutely
incredible.

For me, you know, I wouldn't want to
lead him on or anything like that.

Just be happy
that we're really good friends.

And, Dean, what does
that feel like to have Sarah say

that friendship is the only
thing she wants right now?

When you're talking to someone
all the time and you're FaceTiming,

I think you are close. And we went
through something

like this together, and gradually
over time,

the feelings were growing. I was
like, cool, like,

you're a great person. And I think
if anyone got to know you

on that level, I think everyone
would probably fall for you as well.

I think that's kind of
what would happen.

So I think it was just inevitable.
And maybe I was looking for things

that weren't there
because I wanted it.

I came here to find my wife,
and I thought,

maybe this can still be a lovely
story where it still works,

but there is a great friendship
there and I don't want to lose that.

I think also what's really important
is to understand

if Sarah met a new guy,

you also have to protect yourself
as well.

I think that's fair.

Going forward, I'm learning to put
my feelings first.

You two are stronger today than
the day that you both left.

- Yeah, definitely.
- And that means
that there's been incredible growth,

- so congratulations.
- Cheers. Thank
you, guys.
- Thank you.

APPLAUSE

Next up on the couch we have
Nelly and Steven.

APPLAUSE

Hi. Hello.

Welcome.

Now, clearly we have
a lot to talk about,

but before we do, we would love
to take a look back at your journey.

- Shall we?
- Yes.

Today is the biggest day of my life.

I'm just really, really hoping
that this is it

and this is the one.

Oh, wow.

She looks absolutely stunning.

Tick, tick, tick.

A match made in heaven.

I'm having the best time.

Nelly, can you see yourself
falling for me?

It's very hard for me to say.

No pressure, girl.

Yeah. Yeah.

I think I'm so afraid of, um,
being so emotionally,

like,
open and vulnerable to someone.

Then they break my heart.

Let's be honest. You haven't been
the same since the honeymoon.

You're speaking about ex-partners
that you've been with.

I'm finding it fucking laughable,
Nelly. Let's be honest.

These are my feelings,
and I'm not finding it very funny.

Don't fucking antagonise me,
Nelly.

Sorry?

Said "Fucking idiot."

This week has been awful.
It's been hell.

I just, I don't know who you are.

What you saw in the honeymoon,
that's me.

Listen, if you cook for April
and you haven't cooked for me,

that's where I'll get real mad.

Oh, look at that.
That looks stunning.

Cheers for breakfast in bed.
Have you ever done this for Nelly?

Um, no.

A couple of days with another woman
and you're like more checked out.

Like, what happened?
Did you guys flirt with each other?

- There's been no flirting.
- No flirting whatsoever?
- No flirting.

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

Sorry?

- No, I'm not on anything.
- Yes, you are.

And that was today.

I'm going to take this off.
This marriage is over.

- That is not me on Hinge.
- So you
think someone's catfishing you?

Absolutely.

- So someone's walking around
with your face, then?
- Yeah.

But, yeah, I've been having a little
conversation with someone.

Steven. Speaking about potentially
going to grab drinks together.

Not on a one to one. I said, look,
we'll go for a drink together.

If you were telling the 100% truth,

you'd be whipping your phone out
so fucking fast.

I'm bored trying to prove myself.

Steven constantly lies.

I think this is a pattern,
and do you know what?

Enjoy. I think you might be well
suited to each other.

Steven, you're gross! It's loser
behaviour. I would be embarrassed.

Damn.

Nelly, was there anything that you
saw there that was news to you?

The only thing I really wouldn't
have known about was partner swap,

because I wasn't there.

So Steven was flirting with her.
I don't think I'm that surprised.

You did that and you lied about it.

Can you now see the impact
of that on Nelly?

Absolutely. It's a massive slap in
the face, isn't it?

You don't deserve that.
No-one does.

The impact it had on Nelly is
she was doubting herself.

- Yeah.
- You know, and we saw
so much doubt in you.
- Yeah.

And so much confusion,

which is what, you know,
some of Steven's behaviour,

which, you know,
to be fair, was pretty manipulative.

And you were starting to think,
is it me?

- Yeah.
- Am I doing something here
to create this situation?

My massive regret,
which I've said already,

like you being on the receiving
end of this.

Not taking stock when I should,
taking accountability when I should.

It's scary that, you know,
you would put me ahead of yourself

throughout this whole journey

and how she wanted to make me feel
and all these things,

I'm thinking, why's she putting me
first, ahead of herself?

What is she seeing in me?

But again,
I'm just deflecting things

going, well, no, it's on you, Nelly.
It's on you, Nelly.

Like, I didn't even give you
the bare minimum.

She's the first genuine,
real person I've met,

and I'm like, I've done this to her.

How do you think Nelly feels now?

- Hurt, ang... Like...
- I'm not angry.

This is how I thinking
you might be perceiving it.

We heard you last night
essentially say to Nelly

that you were
messaging Julia-Ruth to hurt her.

- Yeah.
- This is demonstrating
incredible spite.

Yeah.

I think what would really hurt me,
it's just the deceit.

Like even seeing the texts
from Steven to Julia-Ruth saying,

to be honest, at that time you would
have stolen me away from her.

That was, we're talking
about week two.

Or I was so tempted
to knock on your door.

I just think, how am I sleeping
in the same bed with this person

who is so different
to what they're saying?

Because you're good at lying,
do you know what I mean?

I find that so bizarre.

Here I've been the worst
version of myself,

and I don't think
I can get any worse.

You've made me look inwards in
myself.

You're the first person that's
made me do it and think,

fucking hell, like, Steve, fix up.

But no-one else
would have done that.

Can I just stop you? I mean, it
sounds textbook what you're saying,

if I'm honest.
The reflection has been so deep

that everything you're saying
is I'm just so bad,

everyone else is really good.

It just doesn't add up.

It's not textbook.

It's raw. I am
a different person now.

Like, what you unfortunately,
had of me in this period,

you're never going to see again.

In my many years of working
with people,

I don't normally see such
a turnaround

in such a short space of time.

Nelly, do you believe that he's
really taking accountability?

I want to, but then I'm also like,
well, if I didn't expose the truth

and circulate all those messages
so he couldn't run away from it,

I feel that maybe he'd still
be sat here

saying the same thing as before.

Steven, why should she believe you?

Look, given what's happened, she has
every reason not to believe it.

But I've come here knowing full well
I was going to get

the heat and questions.
Rightfully so.

I sound like I'm here to fuck things
up. Like everything I've taken in,

I'm thinking, like Steve,
to really grow as a person

and really be
that best version of yourself,

you've got to be able
to allow yourself to be vulnerable.

I don't need to be hiding
behind anything any more.

I really don't.

I know you did some things
to hurt me.

But my question is, are you going to
finally admit the dating app thing?

I've acted cowardly.
It's not nice knowing that,

obviously knowing how I've made
you feel.

Steven, you talk and talk
and talk and talk

to try
and talk yourself out of this.

Just own it now,

because otherwise it's going
to be bad for you.

Was it true?

- You swore that you did not do this.
- All right. Fucking hell.

OK. Put my hands up to it.

Let's just be clear. You're now
saying that despite everything

you said that time on the couch,

you actually lied. You did have
a profile on a dating app.

Yeah.

You swore that you did not do this.

All right. Fucking hell.

OK. Put my hands up to it.

Let's just be clear.

You're now saying that despite
everything you said

that time on the couch,

you actually lied. You did have
a profile on a dating app.

Yeah.

That's sick.

You've been caught out.

I've owned up to it now, tonight.

I'm fronting it up.

You swore, and now, weeks later,
you've had some sort of epiphany.

You are saying what you think
everybody wants to hear.

It does not add up.
You've not once sat with her

and said, "I am sorry," and then
stopped talking.

- I get it, but...
- You can hear
the emotional impact in this group.

You sat here and you lied to us,

you lied to Nelly, and you lied to
all of your so-called friends here.

And it was a blatant lie.

So it's had an impact
on everybody here.

I know it's not been easy for you to
listen to all of our disappointment,

but I think that this
is the consequence of lying.

And I think that you have had to
sadly learn

a really big lesson tonight.

No, absolutely.
It is my massive regret.

I hate that fact
that I've done this to you.

Nelly, we're going to come back to
you because you've been hurt.

And you had the most
incredible expectations

coming into this process.

And I'm just really keen to hear
what this experience

has meant to you
and perhaps how it's changed you.

I know I had a bit
of a rubbish time,

but my gut is always right.

And I think before I always
told myself,

no, you are that strong woman. You
can call it out, you can see it.

But I think I was just telling
myself that

and it's only now
that I do truly believe it.

I've never felt more confident
or more strong,

and I've never loved myself more.
Like, to feel the way I do now,

I would honestly do it
all over again.

Is there anything in wrapping up
that you'd like to say to Steven?

I don't think there is.

I think, you know,
our experience was our experience.

I just hope that you can really take
from this, and I'm sure you will.

What about you, Steve? Anything
you'd like to say to Nelly?

Honestly, bottom of my heart,
like, the deepest of sorrows.

Steven, you basically
ripped her heart out

and you stepped all over it.

The beauty of this journey
is you can change.

And I believe you will change.

Sorry, got leaky eyes at the minute.

What I will give you is
check on bravery.

Because you knew that
you were going to come in here,

you were going to have to face us,

and you would have to face
this young lady next to you.

And I applaud you for that.

I didn't want to come in,
but, yes, thank you.

No-one deserves that.
Sorry. I'm truly sorry.

Thank you.

And that felt genuine.

Yeah. That did.

Good on you, Steven.

We look forward
to seeing how you work

through this self-development
process.

And, Nelly, we look forward
to all of the great love stories

that you're about to step into.

- Can't wait.
- We cannot wait too.
- Cannot wait.

- Thank you both so much.
- Been incredible.

Yeah, thank you both.

APPLAUSE

Thank you.

I know I've let a lot
of people down.

I'm owning up to things. I'm not
going to run away from things

or hide from things any more,

and it's going to help me
grow better as a person.

Who's ready for some love?

CHEERING

If we could have Abby and John,
come on up!

APPLAUSE

Hi! Never had such a
warm welcome, I love it.

Thanks, guys.

That's because we all love you.

- Oh, we love you, too.
- We love you all, yeah.

- All right, so how do we feel right
now?
- It's amazing.

Cloud nine. Honestly.

We've just had the absolute time
of our life.

Well, on that note,

let's take a look
at the Abby and John love story.

I want to have
my happily ever after.

I've got the horse,
I've got the carriage.

I want to meet my Prince Charming.

Hi.

Lovely to meet you.

And you.

This does feel like someone
that I could fall in love with.

The smile hasn't left my face
since I met you, really.

- Oh.
- Oh!

- Hi.
- Hi!

Hi. Hi.

We have, like,
such a good connection,

and I've not felt like this before,
like, with anyone.

He makes me feel like it's OK
to be me.

I'm on the love road.

- I'm just really excited
for what's to come.
- Same.

- Let's have some fun.
- Yeah.

I love you.
And I am in love with you.

I do, I do love you.
I do love you.

This is what I've wanted
my entire life

and I can't believe
that I've found my soulmate.

I came home and told my wife
that I love her!

And she said it back!

I feel so happy. It's nice
I've got my John now.

- This what we want.
- That's all we wanted,

and now we're complete.

You can plan your life now.

I've got an excitement back
for life.

For once in my life,
I'm not worried about the future.

If anything, I'm excited.

There is nothing more certain
than our future together.

The I became we,
the future became us.

and my heart became yours.

You are the love of my life.

I've waited my whole life
to feel like this,

and I'd walk through every one of
those years again

if they led me back to you.

APPLAUSE

So how would you describe
the emotions you feel right now?

- Just love.
- Yeah.
- That's it.

It's just I came into this
experiment wanting

to find someone true, genuine and to
spend the rest of my life with,

- and I found that.
- Yeah.

We've got hopes and dreams
from our wedding day,

but now we've realised all of that
and we're on the step, like,

for the rest of our lives together.

Wow. That's so strong to say.

We're with each other
for the rest of our lives.

Yeah.

Like, it is a massive thing
to say that,

but I just, I've never felt like
this before about, like, anybody

my entire, like, life.

And I feel like John's
helped me grow as a person

and made me love myself again.

And I feel like that's the most
amazing gift

that a partner could ever give you.

I feel exactly the same.

I've never felt this before
about a person,

but also I've never felt like this
about myself,

which is how Abby makes me feel.

You know, I feel like the most
confident version of myself.

And, like, because I'm looking
at Abby and going,

oh, the experts have matched me
with this amazing lady,

so I feel amazing about myself.

- You feel like I'm her match.
Wow, I must be a good guy.
- Wow.

So what is the next step?

We've discussed kind of like
we do want to move in and, yeah,

like start a family and just,
you know, all those things

that we've always wanted to do.

Very early, we were having
conversations about, like,

you know, what do you want in life?
Do you want children or not?

Because I've got a real desire to be
a dad.

And Abby also wants a family
as well.

- How many are we talking?
- Let's start with one.

Let's start with one.
I mean, there's none at the moment.

So one to start
and then we'll go from there.

OK.

So now, here's a question.

If you could go back one year

and tell yourself anything,
what would it be?

The best is yet to come.
Just hang on in there.

Like, your time is coming
and it will be worth the wait.

- All right.
- Yeah, I'd reassure
that guy that had so many worries,

like, it's going to be OK.
You're enough.

I'd tell him to just hold on tight
because Abby's coming.

You two are a testament
to hope in love.

But since this is your last moment
within the experiment,

what would you like to say
to each other?

Thank you for making me feel like
that person standing

at the top of the aisle was enough,
after so many years of doubt

of whether I was going to be right
for somebody.

And thank you for giving me hope
to be excited for the future.

Thank you, first of all,
for being my husband,

for accepting me as I am

and for just giving me that
confidence to know that I am enough.

I deserve to be loved
and I deserve to be happy.

And just thank you for giving me the
future that I've always dreamed of.

You're very welcome.

APPLAUSE

So thank you for inspiring us,

and thank you for showing us
what love looks like in action.

- Good luck to both of you.
- Thank you.

APPLAUSE

It might be the end
of the experiment,

but this is only the start
of our future.

I've got everything that I asked
for and more out of this.

I know that Abby is going to be
with me for the rest of my life.

Oh!

Never thought that when I came into
this experiment, I would find you.

And I would choose you over
and over again, and I always will.

love you.

I love you.

It's OK.

Without this journey, I would never
have loved myself the way I do.

This has completely changed my life.

I'm so glad I got matched
to this amazing woman.

- Mm.
- Mwah!
