This programme contains strong
language and adult themes

Previously... This is adorable!

..the experiment's first
honeymoons got under way.

It's really hard for me to open up.
While heartfelt honesty...

I deflect to get me through

a difficult period
where we lost my brother.

..led to a breakthrough
for Davide and Keye.

This is what I want to see.

You have a beautiful heart.

I like him even more now.

Candid comments from Sarah...

Have you ever been with anyone
bigger or anything like that?No.

..knocked her marriage off course.

I have to be honest,
there isn't a spark.

And while for one new couple,
there was instant chemistry...

Absolutely stunning.
I do fancy him. Tick, tick, tick!

..an initial lack of attraction...

I wouldn't say he's my type.

..sent bride Grace spiralling.

Tonight... Right now,
he's not putting a foot wrong.

..Nelly and Steven go from strength
to strength...

Exactly what I wanted from
a honeymoon.

..while Ashley's comments continue
to trouble Grace.

I said I want a tomboy Barbie.
Like, what?

Oh, BLEEP.

Every now and then he just says
something

and I think, like,
"Do you know how that sounds?"

Sarah's forthright take on how
to ignite a spark with Dean...

..gets some tattoos
and loses some weight.

..combined with demands for
honesty...

Would it be any different
if I wasn't as big?

Um... ..further tests the couple's
marriage.

..probably.

And as two more brave singles...

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

..enter the experiment...

Hi! ..one of the brides
has serious second thoughts.

Shall we do a cheek?

I don't know if she fancies me now.

BLEEP. I made a mistake. Shit.

BELL TOLLS

How are you feeling today, then,
after it's all settled down?

It still feels a bit surreal.
I can't believe yesterday happened.

Yeah, it was all a bit of
a whirlwind.

It feels really strange,

the whole situation.
Like, I'm married.

I don't feel like I really know
Grace at all yet.

It's been, what, 10, 12 hours?

I didn't know whether I
was coming or going at the wedding.

I am still feeling
a little bit overwhelmed.

Ashley and I aren't aligning
on certain values

in terms of, he's perhaps more
traditional. I'm more liberal.

I was raised like,
men are the breadwinners.

At their wedding day, Ashley's
old-school values

rang alarm bells for Grace...

God, here we go.

It's 2025, Ashley.

Would you describe yourself
as a feminist?

100% no.

..causing Grace to drastically
question her new marriage.

I'm just finding it hard.
This is a hard thing to do.

You've had
a really emotional, big day.

Oh, God.

It was good to have a sleep
and process all of yesterday.

I did spiral, but it's day one.

I'm feeling way more positive

and I'm really keen
to just start with that friendship.

Good place to start.

We have nothing but time now

to carry on getting to know each
other on honeymoon. Yeah, they say

a holiday either makes or breaks you
as well, don't they?

All right, let's go!
Let's find out.

I'm massively looking forward
to the honeymoon.

I'm looking forward to sort of
digging deeper

and getting to know Grace.

We've got an envelope.

I'm hoping that she starts to kind
of soften to me

and that she does like me.

Do you want to do the honours?

No, you go for it. Go for it.

"Grace and Ashley, congratulations.

"Now it's time for you to go on your
honeymoon in Koh Samui."

Oh, awesome. That's so good!

I'm chuffed about that,
to be honest. Yeah. Me too.

Thailand! Woohoo!

I'm well up for that, I can't wait.

Cheers. Can you "cheers" tea,
coffee? Let's do it.

I'm actually over the moon.

Didn't feel like I had to sleep
like a pencil last night.

You're very respectful.

We were both in our own lanes
as such, so yeah, thank you.

I...I've got respect for you
being like that anyway. Yeah.

If anything, it makes me like you
a little bit more.

OK. It's like,
you're not that person.

What if I was that person?

Um, well... Would that be an issue,
do you think?

Old school morals and people
that respect themselves.

That is something that I asked for.
Yeah.

It is, it is, um,
it is quite important to me.

Yeah. So, yeah. OK.

Big no for me - double standards.

You can probably respect yourself

and if you want to be the kind of
person

that engages in those activities,
that's probably OK, too.

Yeah, but
you're not that person.

You've made that quite clear, so...

OK. It's, er... Yeah.

I feel like everything I'm doing
is wrong.

It's taken me back a bit.

I don't know why it went to that
when I was giving a compliment.

Cool.

I'm just a little bit concerned
that Ashley might be, like,

set in his ways in his opinions of
women.

I kind of, maybe naively,

hoped that we'd be
a bit more aligned.

It's really important to me.

I'm just like, really, like... I
just feel like I shouldn't be going.

I'm just like, am I stupid to go?

Should I not just...

INTERVIEWER:

I wish I could snap out of it.

I'm just feeling really overwhelmed
and really anxious.

This is a lot harder
than I anticipated.

Look at this. Oh, my God.

I've never stayed in somewhere
so nice.

It's gorgeous.

You can't say no
to a chocolate-covered strawb.

OK.

Being on honeymoon with Steven,
I just feel really happy.

It kind of feels like we've known
each other for ages.

Like, we don't really feel like
strangers.

Oh, stunning. honeymoon suite.

Do we actually need to leave
the room? I think not.

Since the wedding,
the feeling there is just growing.

It's definitely exceeded
my expectations,

the whole journey so far. So, yeah,
at this moment in time,

I think Nelly and I
are a perfect match.

It's insane how well suited we are.
Honestly, I'm having the best time.

It's exactly what I wanted from
a honeymoon.

It's amazing.

Ah.

My guard feels up a little bit
today.

I am starting to feel
a little bit rejected.

I think last night was
the first time I thought

it's probably not going as well
as I thought it was going.

What was your first reaction when,
like,

obviously I turned around
and you was walking down?

You weren't, sort of looks-wise,
what I was expecting.

Have you ever been with anyone big
or anything? What's your usual type?

Have I been with anyone... Anyone
who's, like, bigger

or anything like that, yeah?

No, I have to admit, no.

Last night was the first time
I've probably felt anxious

within this whole experience.

So it was just
a weird place to be in.

Kind of left me feeling empty.
I didn't like it.

But I woke up this morning.

I'm feeling better and, like, kind
of ready to just have fun again.

Have you been cuddling any pillows?

No,
I've not been cuddling any pillows.

I've kind of stopped that now.
I'm waiting for the real thing.

Dean is looking
for more affection from myself,

but for me, I'm just not there yet.

No. Dean has not made any move,
which is fine by me.

He can't hear me, can he? OK.

I normally share my bed
with my dog every night.

Oh, fair. So I'm used to...
So I'm like a dog. That's nice.

Is it because I'm "ruff"?

HE LAUGHS

Ruff, ruff!

A dog. A dog barks.
Did you just bark?

Dean barking in bed this morning,

it makes me feel
a bit uncomfortable.

He's obviously stopped the rapping

and the random outbursts of song

has now been replaced
with animal sounds. Woof!

Er, yeah. Don't do that.

Woof!

Cheers! To us newlyweds.

Whilst this year's first three
couples

get to know each other on
their honeymoons...

..in the UK, another brave single
is about to enter the experiment.

I've just looked at the camera.
Fuck!

Ugh!

Wait. Start again, start again,
start again.

OK, ready. OK, is it recording now?

At work, I'm like a powerhouse.

Got to get shit done.

Hello, are you all right?
I'm good, how are you?

Yeah, I'm good, thanks.

I'm a consultant
in the construction industry.

Let's jump on a Teams call

and then get you booked in for a
site survey and go from there.

I'm a masculine energy,

then I've got, like, a really girlie
side as well.

Definitely say I'm spiritual.
I love meditation.

One year I was in Thailand,
and I lived with the monks.

You're not allowed to speak.
That was hard for me.

Already, I can see you are, uh,
ironic.

I think you meant iconic.

No. I'm joking, I'm joking.

They're going to have
to be strong-minded,

because you're quite strong
and know what you want.

You're making me sound like
an absolute control freak.

No, you've just got
your shit together.

That's a better way of putting it.

I dated men until I was 25,
and I now also date women as well.

I never was one of these people
in the closet

or, like, knew I had these feelings.

I literally kissed a girl
and liked it.

I was Katy Perry woman,
I swear to God.

Long story short, I was
in a hot tub with her

and I could see the way she was
looking at me and I thought,

"Oh, my God, she fancies me."

She tried to kiss me
and we just started snogging

and we was kissing for ages.

And then I thought the next day,

I was like, "Oh, my God,
am I a lesbian?"

That girl became my first girlfriend

and I ended up being with her for,
like, a year.

And then my last actual
relationship,

which was three years ago now,
we were thinking of marriage.

Coming away from that was hard.

Definitely thought I'd found
the one, yeah.

What was missing for you not
to remain in those relationships?

I think I had to learn
a lot to compromise as I got older.

Like, I can be a control freak,
but I hold my hands up with that.

Typically, when people assert
a lot of control in a relationship,

they tend
to have vulnerability challenges.

Oh, yeah, 100%. But I'm willing
to be completely vulnerable here.

How do I know that?
Because I've just told you.

OK.

Isn't that weird?

The next time I'm going to see you
is at the wedding.

What do you think about me doing it?

You're absolutely nuts.

Family is so important for me.

How do the veils go? On your head.

LEAH LAUGHS

My nan is one of my best friends.
I look like Minnie Mouse!

Get it off! You look nice.
No, that's not how it goes.

Me and my nan are so similar.
We know what we like.

We know what we don't like.

Would you like me
to show you my wedding photo?

Have you got one? Yeah. Let me see.

My mum and dad and my nan
and grandad,

they've all shaped
the way I view marriage.

I'm so lucky to be surrounded

by relationships
that have just worked.

I don't think I've ever seen
you on your wedding day, you know.

Well, you wouldn't have done.
You weren't born.

THEY LAUGH

My ideal person would be emotionally
intelligent, driven.

It's so important for me.

that this person is
family-orientated.

Looks-wise, I always go
for a girlie girl.

Nice eyes, nice teeth.

Someone who takes care
of themselves.

That energy where it just draws you
in

and you just instantly feel
a connection.

I have never really been this open

to be taken out of my comfort zone,
and I'm ready to take it on.

Leigh interview, take one.

Oh, God, that was so bad.

I do definitely take pride
in my appearance.

I think I've been that way
since I was young.

I remember being, like, six years
old

and my nan teaching me
how to put lipstick on.

I definitely am a really, like,
feminine, girlie girl.

I always love to get my hair done,
get my nails done.

People used to joke about me
that I'm always dressed up,

even just to go to the shop.

I live in Essex, so, I mean,
the majority of the girls do.

When people first meet me,

they assume I'm going
to be a little bit of an airhead.

I'm not at all.

I'm not just my eyelashes
and fake tan.

I'm a lot deeper than that.

I'd say I am quite
a spiritual person.

I like my crystals and the energy
that they give off.

I've got ten rose quartz at home,

trying to flood the love towards me
in hopes that it will work.

Currently, I work in a GP surgery,
doing clinical coding.

I love my job, but it's definitely
not something I want to do

for the rest of my life.
I found what my passion was.

I realised
that I really want to help people,

so I'm now doing a degree
in counselling.

I think you need a little trim on
the ends.

Not too much, though, Mum.
I am getting married.

I know. Being single and living
with your mum

isn't always the most ideal,
let's be honest.

You know, if you want to bring
someone home...bit awkward.

Single life in Romford...awful.

Everyone assumes I'm straight.

It's always, "Have you got a husband
or have you got a boyfriend?"

No, I haven't. I haven't got
a girlfriend or a wife either.

You definitely want to find love
and settle down.

Yeah. I feel like, I'm 30 now.
Everyone around me's settled.

Yeah. You found your fiance.
You've got kids.

And let's be honest,
my love life hasn't been great.

I do feel very protective.

I never want you to get hurt again
the way you was before. Yeah.

I have been engaged before.

Thought I was going to continue
and get married

and have kids and all of
that lovely stuff.

But it just didn't work out
that way.

It was hard, the hardest thing
I've ever been through.

I saw my life with this person
that then got taken away,

and it was
a really hard pill to swallow.

When you think about
this experiment,

do you believe there will be any
area

that you personally struggle in?

I think letting myself
be vulnerable.

If somebody was getting

a little bit too comfortable
with me, I've sort of shut it off.

Are you prepared
to emotionally attach?

I think naturally now,
my guard is up,

but I'm willing to go in both feet.

I'm serious about wanting
it to work.

I see it. I can see
that you're very serious about this.

I definitely am wanting

to find something
and wanting to find love.

Mum, what do you think?

Are you emotional?

Oh, Mum, don't, cos you're going to
make me cry!

I really just hope that this wedding

will be everything that you dreamed
it would be.

You deserve it. Oh, thanks, Mum.

The perfect wife would
be family-orientated,

open to spirituality,
works hard, has goals set.

Quite a masculine-presenting woman,

but still feminine to some degree.

I like women for a reason,
so I want them to feel like a woman.

I've been engaged.
I just hope that this time,

I make it down the aisle
and meet the love of my life.

Now, this is a fascinating match.

There are a lot of shared values
with these two,

and both have
a steeliness to their character.

Leigh doesn't pull her punches,

but Leah also said she
wants someone headstrong

who will keep her on her toes.

Leah will be drawn
to Leigh's femininity,

while Leigh will appreciate
her bride's masculine energy.

If they connect, this could be
an amazing partnership.

I agree. Leah comes across
as a tough cookie,

exuding strength and confidence.

Her challenge is vulnerability.

Leigh is quite a deep thinker,

so she won't be afraid

to explore Leah's softer,
less obvious side.

Both these brides
are very driven at work,

but they also value spirituality,

and family is hugely important
to them.

They have close bonds
to their nearest and dearest,

and both prioritise thoughtfulness

and emotional connection
in their relationships.

I think they might just meet
their match

in more ways than one.

Leigh and Leah.

CORK POPS

THEY CHEER

I can't
believe I'm getting married today.

It feels very surreal.

I've been engaged before,

so there's been moments

where I thought that this
was going to come, and it never did.

But we're here. We're actually here.
How do you feel this morning?

I feel like it's going to go well.
I've got a good feeling.

I actually think it's
because I've brought my crystals.

I thought about, in the ceremony,
maybe giving her one.

Well, yeah. Because it means
so much to you,

you want to be able to share
that with somebody else.

Yeah, definitely. I think it will be
a nice way to solidify our bond.

It represents love and healing.

It's either going to go well
or it's going to go really badly,

because I'll be able to tell from
her face if she thinks,

"What are you doing?"

SHE SQUEALS

I actually can't believe today's
the big day.

It's now starting to hit me
a little bit, I think.

Last night, I
was lying in bed on my own.

I was thinking,
"What am I actually doing?"

And then all the nice
messages started coming through

from, like, all you lot and my nan
sent me a lovely message as well,

and then I started crying.

Did you cry? Yeah, I cried.
I was crying in bed.

I just want to see that moment

when you both see each other
and just your first reactions.

I hope she's just got nice teeth,
like a nice smile.

Like, a smiley person.

And what about her personality?

I hope she's got the same open mind
as me, really. Yeah.

Who would be,
like your dream wife to be?

So I think masc, but not too masc.

And not too femme, but not a stem.

Stem is somebody that's
a mix between a femme and a masc,

so a bit in between.

If someone hears me say this,

they're going to be like,

"So what exactly is it
that you're looking for?"

Yeah. And it's really hard to
explain.

Like, it's that masculine energy
for me,

and that's got nothing to do
with looks.

It's all about
how they carry theirself.

If that's not there,
I'll struggle with that.

Did you always think
you'd be marrying a woman today?

I've always been open
to both, haven't I,

but I'm definitely more comfortable
with a woman now.

You're more of the masculine energy
in the relationship,

so maybe that's why you're
more suited to a feminine energy.

Sometimes when I date guys...
Too similar. ..I'm too similar.

Two alpha males in the room. Yeah.

You've got a bit of a feisty side.
Would you like her to be like that?

I'd like her to be headstrong.

That might mean
that at certain times,

if I've got a strong opinion
and she's got a strong opinion,

we might butt heads, but then I
think that's a good thing.

It's just a team effort.

Just be yourself,
and whatever will be, will be.

I feel like I'm going
to get emotional. Sorry.

God. Wow, that's come out of
nowhere.

Um...

Yeah, I think I've just seen how you
are as a person,

like, with everyone
that you care about.

That's the type of relationship
that I want,

is to be like the person
that you are to my partner.

Sorry.

Yeah.

Leigh really does deserve
to meet someone nice.

She's been unlucky in love,

so I really hope this works
for her this time.

You'll make me cry again.

Love you.

You look beautiful, babe.

Oh, stop!

I can't help it. Sorry!

You know what I'm like.

Leah means a hell of a lot to me.

I'm so proud.

In fact, it gave me
a tear to see her.

It was beautiful.

If she finds somebody that really,
really loves her...

..I'll be made up.

Flowers are nice.

Lovely.

This feels like
the biggest day of my life.

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

I want someone who's going to
challenge me

and push me to be my best self.

I'm ready to give everything
to that person.

Hello. Gorgeous.

Wow.

What am I doing? I'm mad.

I definitely feel like
the universe has led me here.

I want to be able to trust someone
and rely on somebody.

I am treading carefully.

But I'm going into this
and I'm giving it my all.

I want someone to love me for me.

Hi. Hi! You OK?

Hi.

I feel like we're both just as
nervous as each other.

I'm actually all right.
I'm excited.

She's definitely a bit of me.
She's pretty.

Nice hair, nice teeth, nice eyes.

So, yeah, tick, tick, tick.

What's your name? Leah.

What's your name? Leigh.
You're Leigh? Yeah. No.

LAUGHTER

Leigh and Leah. Perfect.

Are you OK? Yeah. You? Good.

Ooh!

VOICEOVER: She's absolutely
stunning.

But...

..I'm not sure if she does have
a masculine side.

So, am I going to fancy her?

And in this moment,
I don't feel like I do.

Shit.

Hello, everyone,
and a huge warm welcome.

Can I ask you
to please read your vows to Leah?

As we stand here today as strangers
about to embark

on probably one of the craziest
journeys we've ever been on,

I trust that the universe has led us
both here today for a reason,

and I truly believe that right here,
right now,

we're exactly
where we're supposed to be.

I hope that whilst growing our bond,
we can be a team,

one that inspires each other
to be our best selves,

but know that we have each other's
backs

on the days when life isn't as kind.

And last but not least,
I can't wait to discover

the reasons that we've been
so divinely placed together.

Before I wrap this up...

Oh, thank you. ..I just wanted
to give you this rose quartz,

and I hope that it will enable us

to build a loving and healing
connection

and one that enhances our bond

and brings peace on the days
when you need it. Thank you.

Yes. Thanks.

Did she just call my crystal
a stone?

Maybe she's not as into spirituality
as I am.

I manifested change,

but never imagined the risk we're
about to explore.

Whether it's a connection of love
that lasts until the end,

or something that takes us out of
our comfort zone

and spins us on our head...

VOICEOVER: Fucking hell.
I'm a bit apprehensive.

She is not what I normally go for,
and I'm worried I made a mistake.

All I can say is, I promise
to be vulnerable, honest and true.

And I'm excited
for this journey of me and you.

APPLAUSE

I give you this ring as a symbol
of my commitment to this marriage

and my faith in this relationship.

I give you this ring of my intention
to respect and support you

and my faith in this relationship.

And I would now like to invite you
to give each other a kiss.

Shall we do a cheek?

We've just met!

LAUGHTER

And it is a pleasure
to present you as wife and wife.

CHEERING

I actually can't believe I married
a stranger.

She's so attractive.
Absolutely gorgeous.

I'm so excited.

But...

..I don't know if she fancies me,
you know?

Leah does come across
really feminine,

so I want to get to know
if she does have a masculine side

to find that physical attraction.

But I'm worried that that won't
come.

Fuck.

South Africa!

Whilst our newlyweds continue
to honeymoon...

Nelly and I are always pulling
each other in for a little cuddle

or a little peck every time we can.

One could say Steven is quite good
with his hands.

..in the Maldives... Oh, would you
like a drink of anything?

Just open that fizz, I think.

..Sarah and Dean are all set
for an intimate dinner.

I'm literally a pro.
Just don't shake it!

The vibe with Sarah right now
is kind of weird.

No, but can you just face it over
that way?

INTERVIEWER:

Get some tattoos
and lose some weight, maybe.

Where do you see our
relationship going?

I see it, like, going back to the UK
for a little bit.

HE LAUGHS

However, the longer
that the honeymoon has gone on for,

and even in the last couple of days,

there's certain traits of his
personality

that are beginning to grate on me.
Woof.

Don't, no. That wasn't a real bark.

I know, but it was the joke, though.

I should be completely honest...

OK sharing a bed with me yet, then?

Yeah.

Grace and Ashley are waking up in
Thailand.

Before the flight yesterday,
I was actually in two minds

about whether I should even get on
the flight.

I know Ashley framed it as a
compliment that he respected me more

for not sleeping with him
on the first night,

but it did just feel judgmental
of women who might have done that.

Yeah.

100%, I've learned already
in this process

that the things I say aren't
necessarily the things I mean.

Grace, she's a really, really nice
girl

and I'm looking forward
to getting to know her better.

I just, I've almost felt like
everything I was doing was wrong.

I know I always mean well.

I've known in my head what I meant,

but then, like,
when I've tried to explain it,

it's not always come out right.

When you were saying like,

"Oh, I really want a lady",
I was like, what?

But then I've contradicted myself

because from the very beginning,
I said I want a tomboy Barbie.

Oh, God, I've done it again,
haven't I? Put my foot in it.

Why am I not allowed to like that?

You know she's like,
kind of like a cartoon?

She's not like an actual shape
of an actual woman. Yeah.

Ash keeps saying some
really outlandish things,

and they trigger me.

It's just, it's more of
a saying than...

But don't you think we should move
away from that saying?

Oh, fuck.

I feel like I'm going to be burned
at the stake by the end of this!

I just don't love that you're
so specific,

that you're so like, you can't have
sex on the first date.

Gorgeous,
but also not too gorgeous.

I don't know
where it comes from sometimes,

but every now and then he just says
something,

and I think, like,
"Do you know how that sounds?"

I feel like I can't say...
Barbie's got, like, big ol' boobies,

little tiny waist,
like, long blonde hair.

They're my preferences.

I'm allowed just as much as the next
guy to have my kind of list

and know what I want.

If you don't have it or you're not
that person,

then you're not right for me.

I'm not saying you have to be that.

It's just a saying.

It's offensive.

Hand in pocket over there.

Have you seen she's got pockets in
her dress?

She's got loads of rocks in there.

"Rocks"! Are you spiritual,
by the way?

Yeah, I am a bit, yeah. Oh, OK.
"A bit."

What was that stone you gave her?
A quartz. A rose quartz, yeah.

Aw. Where did you put it?

You haven't got it in your dress.
No, you took it back off me.

Oh, she's lost it already.

Oh, no, it's upstairs.
That's fucking promising, isn't it?

Have you got my rose quartz?

Oh, now she's concerned.

Oh, no. I can't think where it is.
I've definitely got it somewhere.

I don't want to lose it.
She'll kill me.

Lovely. Just look towards
the camera.

Look down the lens.

Perfect.
How do you, like, normally identify?

Are you, like, masc, femme, stem?

I don't really identify
as anything like that.

I don't know, do you? What are you?

Yeah, I would consider myself more
femme.

I've got masculine energy, I guess,
but I'm definitely more femme.

Mmm.

Just bring your faces really nice
and close together.

No, it's a bit... It's a bit much.

I was going to ask you if you wanted
to do a kiss as well, but...

Probably not. I got the cheek today,
so no. Yeah. Sorry.

Don't fancy it,
even a little one on the cheek?

No. It's even weirder...
Yeah? The push, you know?

You've asked five times now.

I know. She's fiery!

I got a little bit of a shock.

Leigh has definitely got
a fiery side.

I was like, all right.

Are we good?

I can't wait till
I see how this unravels.

I really think it's got potential.
They're going to get along 100%.

What is your normal type?

My normal type is normally,
like, quite masculine, actually.

Yeah. I gauged that before.

Why, what gave that away?

You said something like, "What
do you go by?" Masc, fem, stem.

I don't really know about labels.

Yeah. Like, I would never be like,
"I'm a bisexual" or "I'm straight."

You know what I mean? I'm just
like, for me, it's the connection.

Physical attraction
definitely can grow.

She needs to get outside
of her head.

We need to be open and try
and push ourselves.

Are you a bit high-maintenance?

Not like... I think you've got
a little bit of it.

I've seen a little bit of
the fiery side already.

Because of the... Yeah.
Why, what happened?

So they said, like,
oh, can we kiss? And Leigh was like,

"No, I've already said once,
I'm not doing it."

What is
the reason you don't want to kiss?

I'm a bit of a slow burner.

I don't rush things or,
like, do things when I'm not ready.

I was going to say

that's a conversation I wanted to
have with you, like, early on.

I'd appreciate
if you respect my boundaries.

What are your boundaries?
I recharge by having my own time.

What? I just might need, like,
a couple of hours to myself.

She's already said she wants
her own time already.

I'm in for a great old night.

Obviously, we're here
for a marriage,

but how are we actually meant to get
to know each other

if we're not together
and spending time together?

Have you got any concerns?
Is there any, like, red flags?

She goes for really masc girls.

So I'm not her type.

You're not used to someone being
like, "You're not my type."

Why don't you just get a number one
all over?

I might have to.

The sexual attraction isn't there.

We can look past that, because
based on listening to her friends

and just the general vibe... Yeah.

..there's a lot
of potential chemistry there.

What I don't want to do is try
and force myself

to rush into something
and then feel uncomfortable,

and then I pull back and shut down.

Because of my past relationships,

I'm definitely a lot more guarded.

Family and friends think there's
a lot of fundamentals between us

that align, but I don't know.

What I overheard when you were
chatting on the table

was that she needs three hours

when she gets home from work
or was that...?

Yeah, she likes to have her own
time.

That might be a challenge
in this process,

because you're not going to have

that three-hour period
away from each other.

You're not going to have that, so
she may struggle.

Cheers to us. To opening up. Yeah.

IN FRENCH:

Sorry, I'm just a bit flushed.
That's all right.

So we should definitely work

on talking French much, much, much
more. Does that make you happy?

It makes some part of me happy.

OK, fine.

There is an unreal
amount of sexual tension

between Davide and I,

but we promised that we will wait

before we are intimate with one
another.

Just make sure that that emotional
trust is just completely there.

I thought we were happy to wait.

I said I was happy.
I didn't say it wasn't hard.

I'm dying to be intimate with Keye.
Not going to lie.

But I want to build up the tension
a little bit more.

I know things have gotten
a little bit frisky,

but we have stopped each other
a lot.

No-one wants to get intimate
in 30-odd degree heat.

It's unbearable.

I'm already a profuse sweater.
Can you imagine?

It would be like a slip n slide.

It doesn't feel like we've met each
other less than a week ago.

Yeah, just taken aback by it.

Bamboo rafting with Nelly,
it's been so romantic.

Couldn't have expected any more
beautiful person

looking across from me. Do you think
we're a bit delusional,

just being in our own little bubble
about how good it is? No.

I'm having
the best time with Steven.

Honestly, it's everything
I could have asked for.

It's too good to be true.

I kind of don't want to get back.

So you're wanting more, basically?
Um, how did you guess?

Cheers to today. Absolutely.

I'm having a really good time.
It's been an amazing time.

A couple more days, we'll be back
in the UK.

I've never lived with a guy before.

Honestly, I'm a bit nervous.

I think it's just going so good
and we're having such a good time.

But I'm waiting
for something to happen,

which I know is not great.

Um, just a little bit cautious of
it sort of crashing down around us.

What scares you in this marriage?

So I've only had, like,
three relationships.

Um, they were all unfaithful.

It's such a big trigger for me.

And I think,
honestly, if you had,

I just don't see how it could work,
me and you.

I would just be thinking,
"Red flag,

"what am I getting myself into?"

Look, living together could
pose us challenges.

But...

..I've never cheated. Yes!

Honestly, do you know how much
better that makes me feel?

Like, that is great.

I am so, so glad.
It just really reassured me.

Right now, it's tick, tick, tick
and he's not putting a foot wrong.

I can only show you in actions.

Like, words mean nothing
until I actually prove the point.

Honestly, that makes me feel
so much better

that you said you've
never cheated on anyone.

That's such a big relief.

BICYCLE BELL RINGS

So, how are you finding everything
so far?

Yeah, it's a lot more intense

than I thought it was going to be.
Can't lie.

This process is proving difficult.

I thought it was going to be easy.

I expected it would
just run swimmingly.

Where are we going now? Ooh!
Secret gardens.

This is beautiful, isn't it?

I'm willing to speak to Sarah
and tell her how I'm feeling,

because that's how you go forward.

Oh, hello. Hello, Vera.

HE CHUCKLES

She was saying hello to us.

Can't ignore her.

Thai Basil. Didn't work.

Sometimes they don't work.

Dean making the herb jokes,
it's not helping the situation.

It's becoming an ick.

Oh.

Yeah, it's nice here, though.

Pretty mint, if you ask me.
Stop that.

Please, honestly, just stop.

If I'm honest, like, yesterday
was a lot for me.

That was probably
the hardest day I've had personally.

I found myself going back
to being that fat kid at school,

you know, that didn't get the girls
and wasn't very popular.

It didn't sit easy with me at all.

I was like, "I'm so, so past that",
or I thought I was so past that.

I think it was, like, the rejection.

Like, it feels a little bit of
rejection, isn't it? Oh, God.

And I think the more I'm getting to
know you, obviously,

the more I am liking you.

But I also don't want to get hurt.

From your point, like, would it be
any different if I wasn't as big?

Because obviously, I haven't
always been.

Um...

The last thing I want to do is upset
him, but I have to be honest.

Probably...

..I think there maybe would be more
of that attraction,

sexual chemistry. Um...

..sorry. OK.

I want to be open
and transparent with you.

I don't want to hide anything
or pretend. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Are you OK?

Hearing Sarah say
that did hurt my feelings.

Yeah.

Just remember, I'm also a prize.

Like, I am what I am, innit?

The attraction's just not there.

LOCAL GREETINGS

Isn't this the dream, though?
Oh, yeah. It's unreal.

Oh!

DAVIDE LAUGHS

I'm just really not sure how I'm
feeling about Ash at the moment.

I'm not impressed with him.

The comment that was said just
caught me right at the wrong time.

But waking up today, I am trying
to have a different mindset.

I have to keep reminding myself
it's only been a couple of days,

and I need to have an open mind.

INSTRUCTOR: Good one!

King of Muay Thai.

Is it doing it for you?
Yeah. Woo! Hubba hubba.

Go!

Wait. One... Ah! Good one.

Is he allowed to do that?

Ashley, he obviously has to touch.

On top of the way I was feeling,

trying to make it, like,
flirty and fun,

it just made me clam up a bit.

One-two!

The more pressure I feel
to be affectionate

with someone
that I'm really unsure about,

the less likely I am
to be affectionate.

Come on. You're teaching me about
all this equality stuff.

Let's go.

HE LAUGHS

Yikes! Oh,
I'm not really feeling it.

Come on, then. Sorry.

Come on, I feel like you've got more
in you than that.

I'm actually just don't want to.

I'm not loving it.

It's OK.

I'm just confused. I'm trying to be
me, but I'm not sure...

I feel like everything
I'm doing is wrong,

and I don't know why.

Sure you're OK, though? Yeah.
No, I'm good. Yeah? Mm-hm.

Yeah.

People have told me
that marriage is hard.

I think I just... I don't think
it needs to be this hard.

You OK?

I think, um, it comes
so naturally to you

to be, like, flirtatious and, like,
tactile,

but I wasn't really expecting it in,
like, a Muay Thai session,

so I just think I felt
a bit awkward.

I think I got a bit overwhelmed.

Did you just feel
like I was coming on a bit strong?

I'd love to just work on, like,
the friendship part first.

Right. OK.

Ultimately, I'm in here
for... I know.

..a different reason than
friendship, so, yeah, look,

I want to be friends and that,
but...

..it's like we're here, like,
we've signed up

to marry a complete stranger
in an experiment,

and it's kind of working at
a marriage rather than a friendship.

Yeah, I do get that.

It's like I already kind
of feel like...

Like we are running slow.

Like, flirting, I don't see as,
like, a big jump. Yeah.

To be fair, we are married.

I think I just...
I'm a bit in my own head.

OK.

I hoped it would be a bit easier,

but I have struggled
in this process.

It's way harder than I thought it
was going to be.

Sorry. Don't apologise.

We're still getting to know each
other. Exactly. Yeah.

I'm definitely outside my comfort
zone as someone's wife.

I kind of wish I was
a bit more open-hearted

in the way that he is, but
it's still early days.

I'm committed to the process,
so baby steps from here.

Yeah, thanks for understanding.

Going into today, Grace and I had
a tough time,

but I do appreciate
that she's trying.

Do you maybe want to go for a walk
on the beach or something? Yeah.

She wants to move at her own pace,
and I'm more than happy to do that.

I understand that friendships make
the best marriages.

I'm just hoping that we build
a connection from here.

Thank you. I am really excited
for my final dinner.

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

Every part of this trip is
an absolute dream, yeah.

I...I am lost for words.

For once?

This is amazing.

And I'm so happy I'm doing it
with you. Same.

I adore spending every single minute
of every day with you.

Um, and I felt the connection

from the moment I walked down the
aisle

and you grabbed my hands
and told me it was going to be OK.

I just...

I couldn't appreciate you more
in any way.

Same.

You've opened up a lot to me.
You make me feel really comfortable.

You are my person.

And I'm 100% falling for you.

I feel completely and utterly
the same way. I am...

I am completely besotted with you.

You're honestly just, yeah,
perfect in every way.

I'm going to kiss you now.
Is that OK?

I would... I'd hate if you didn't.
Perfect.

Davide and I have definitely found
our groove, I think.

When it comes to communication,

it was a little bit stunted at
the start,

but only because I was so scared
to do that vulnerability aspect.

But since I've done that,

I think we've grown from strength
to strength.

He's just everything.
Yeah, he's...

Yeah. I understand
why people write love songs.

I'm sad it's our last evening.

It has been such
a perfect honeymoon.

The honeymoon has been

literally everything and more
I could have asked for.

We seem like we're really perfectly
suited to one another.

I'm really hoping that it's not just
that we're in the honeymoon bubble,

but I honestly feel really,
really lucky and fortunate.

From the moment I saw you to now,
the word is just "wow" in general.

Where the hell have you been
for 34 years of my life?

Couldn't thank
the experts enough on that.

I don't know what to say.
Don't you cry on me.

No, no, no. No tears, no tears.
But that was really nice to hear.

So, this being the last night...

That is so cute!

I love that. I actually can't wait
to put that in the apartment.

When is this from?
The first bottle we popped.

As if you kept that.
That's so sweet.

That's so nice!

Thank you.

Really surprised at Steven
with all those little keepsakes.

It's really reassuring,

because sometimes I can't gauge
whether a guy likes me or not.

I'm like, it just makes me think
he likes me too.

Not used to it.

Thank you so much for just being
an incredible husband so far.

My honeymoon with Nelly -
absolutely amazing.

Emotionally, we're connecting very
well,

and looking forward to what's to
come.

Here's to the apartments
and life. Yes!

How are you feeling?
Good, relaxed.

Glad to be back and chilled. Yeah.

So I wanted to ask you a question.
Mmm?

How would you feel...

..if...

..we spent this evening on our own?

What the hell is she doing?

Not exactly how I thought the first
night would go after a wedding.

So weird.

Cool.

Sweet.

OK. I'll see you out. Oh, thanks!

Do you want me to help you
with your case?

I didn't always plan on staying
apart

from whoever I ended up marrying.

Obviously, Leah wasn't really
what I was expecting.

Have a lovely sleep.

I respect her boundaries.

However, I think if it continued
throughout the process,

I'd be like, "Nah, I'm gone."

Next time...

Marriage to me means everything.

More brave singles...

I'm extremely nervous.

..take the ultimate gamble on love.

There's an instant spark for some.

It's love at first sight.

Hope the horse doesn't shit
on my dress.

But one bride's unconventional
arrival...

Can't believe she's on a horse.
Hiya, darling. You all right?

I thought you wear, like,
black for a funeral.

..and party spirit...

If it was rose, I'd be on
my second bottle by now.

..ring alarm bells for her groom.

What are you like when you're drunk?
Argumentative.

I'm not 100% sure that Maeve's my
type.

Do you reckon you can do it?
Yeah.

And as the honeymoons continue...

I love Thai food, don't you?

..while Grace and Ashley
turn a corner...

Yes!

I thought we'd go to the top of
the mountain.

Right. ..Leigh and Leah's
troubles...

Leah, I'm not excited. You are.

..hit new heights.

No, this is not fun for me.

She doesn't understand the severity
of things until it gets too far.

Good? Just give me two secs.

I've ballsed up, haven't I?
