This is insane.
Previously...

The experiment's
three new couples... Wow!

..set off on their first adventures.

This is incredible. But for some...

Do you visualise me
and your future?

..newlywed bliss was hard to come
by.

Don't need pressure yet.
It's so early.

We haven't had a lot of time

to actually sit down
and ask personal questions.

I disagree.

And...

Yeah!

..as friends and family arrived...

Are you in love? No, I am in love
with him.

Can't imagine my
life without him.

I'm in love with Davide,
completely and utterly in every way.

..uncomfortable truths...

Muttered under my breath,
"BLEEP idiot."

I said
that I'd got a bit of the ick.

..prompted damning critiques.
What possessed you?

Is that normal?
You can't accept that.

She needs to not be allowed
to say shit and get away with it.

Do I let go, or do I stay and fight?

Tonight... Hi!

Oh, hello. ..the dinner party's new
arrivals steal the spotlight.

They're hot. Blue eyes.

Oh, of course you BLEEP noticed.

I like to meet somebody and
there's, like, that flirty vibe.

I'm pissed off.
But Leisha's debut...

Everybody else is holding hands.

I stopped doing it because you said,
"Don't hold my BLEEP hands."

To me, it's, like, immature.
..fails to impress.

Do you think you should be sat on
a plane talking to a boy...

I've had past relationships.
That's never been a problem.

Um...no,

Babe, you just
had a honeymoon with this man.

I felt disrespected.

And candid questions...

Do you feel like there's a spark?

No. What am I supposed to say?

..cause a marital meltdown.

Just can't keep doing it.

Can't change my feelings.

There you go, love. Hot.

Ooh, that's so nice.

This is your second baby massage.
Yeah. How many have I had?

Five.

Yay! Happy birthday!

It's the morning of the experiment's
third dinner party.

I love you. I love you.

Me and Sarah, we're not
in the best place.

My best friend James coming
down really kind of hit me.

He was asking some questions

that I've probably not answered
to myself.

It's reminded me I'm here
for me as well as Sarah.

I can't be disrespected again.

We have had a bit of a tricky
couple of weeks, a tricky start.

You know, a lot on my part,

I was, you know, maybe behaving
in ways that I'm not proud of.

The last few weeks have
been really difficult.

I can't help the way I'm feeling.
I can see Dean is a great guy,

but I'm just struggling to get
that spark.

But I'm trying.

How are you feeling?
Last week was just, er... Hellish.

Yes. Yeah.

It was good to see my brother and
sister

and to see how Steven and I are
doing.

But I think it just reiterated

and reaffirmed that Steven and I
weren't in a good place.

Right now, um, with Steven,

I just need his words backed
up by actions.

We were clashing at that time.

My sister and brother,

they'll always try
and see it from my side,

so you're gonna get called out.
You're going to get upset by it.

They have to tell you off a little
bit.

Last week was a hellish week
for the pair of us.

I'd say Nelly and I are small steps
back to where we were.

This week, we've been intimate
with one another,

but my only worry
about Nelly and I's relationship,

she's putting on the affection
a little bit too much

and it's like, "Come here, give me
a kiss, give me a smooch."

I'm like...

It needs
to be a calmer week for us.

Deal with what happened,

forget about it and just kind
of work on getting closer again.

I'm hoping at the dinner party,

Nelly's not too forward
with things.

I'll quite happily hold her hand

and give her a kiss every now
and then,

but I think if she's wanting one
every two minutes,

it's like, what do you need?
Like, what do you want?

Are you excited to hear how it's
gone for everyone else this week?

I actually am. You know, like,

I want to know what everyone else's
in-laws

have thought about each other.

We've been all right.

You know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Me and Joe, like, I think the
relationship's going pretty good,

but obviously now we need to talk
about, like,

what's going to happen next.
We've not actually thought

about what we're going to do
when we're out of here.

You said that you were going to come
to Newcastle.

I said, if...things progress

and we are together on the outside,
because you've got Archie,

it would be me
that would have to move.

I mentioned that I might move,

but it's a long way to get to
that point.

We're still really early
into this experiment.

We just need to see
what happens with our relationship.

Oh.

How are you? I'm all right. I'm OK.

Energy was a little
bit low this morning.

Last week,
I felt like we went into a war zone.

I don't agree with people that,

like, shout to communicate.

You yelled at me multiple times.

Did I not take accountability
for it?

If I feel
like I'm being attacked verbally,

my body will shut down.
This isn't normal.

Hopefully, there will
be less drama this week.

I'm very passionate
and trying to just progress forward

and just have a strong relationship
with Julia-Ruth.

I don't think it's perfect
or smooth sailing.

We've both got our little things
to work on and that,

and we'll both just be patient
with each other.

Ah! I'm guessing this is our room,
then. Yeah.

As the existing couples get ready
for tonight's dinner party...

BOTH: Oh, wow!

..they're unaware that six more
newlyweds

are moving into the apartments
and will be joining them.

Oh, my gosh, look at this.
Look at the photo.

Oh, that's cute!

Oh, my gosh,
that's our forehead photo!

That was the awkward photo.

It'll be good to see
what the other couples are doing,

how they're getting on.
Yeah, definitely.

I'm excited to hear about everyone's
honeymoons and where they've been.

I feel really good being back from
the honeymoon with Leo.

The chemistry was there from
the wedding day,

so that hasn't really been
an issue for us, I guess.

But there is definitely some
concerns

with the lack of leading a
conversation,

or if I'm not talking,
is there going to be any talking?

So, yeah, I mean,
that's a continuous worry.

But I think it's just going
to be nice now to get settled in.

Back to a bit of normality.
Yeah, definitely.

Definitely.

How are you feeling being here now?

I really like Reiss.

I feel like as the days
are going on,

I'm getting to fall for him
every single day.

But I haven't been getting
the same response from Reiss.

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

Do you feel like you like me?
Falling for you?

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

On their honeymoon, Leisha and Reiss

found themselves moving at different
speeds in their marriage.

I know what I want.
I need to get there quickly.

All you're going to do
is push me away.

I'm just trying to be vulnerable
and let you know,

like, my insecurity.
I'm not here to attack you.

I just need to know
that you're on the same page.

That flight was horrendous, wasn't
it?

Yeah, someone had one too many,
didn't they?

The flight back from Thailand
was very eventful with Leisha.

She decided to, like,

knock a few of the wines back,
come up to me covered in sick.

I'm a bit of a lightweight, aren't
I?

That is grim. Sorry!

She got changed, that was that,

and then I went to get
up to go to the toilet

and then realised
that Leisha was standing

at the back of the plane talking
to some fella for about an hour.

So when we landed, I just said to
her, "I didn't really like

"that you were speaking to a fella
for, like, an hour and a bit

"whilst you're married and coming
back from your honeymoon."

You had too many wines.
Way too many.

Reiss is frosty with me
after the journey.

I am slightly worried.

I can tell it's still maybe niggling
at him.

How do you think the dinner went
with Nicole and Paula?

I would never normally get angry
in front of guests.

This is the last time I'll mention
this,

but I am not speaking about
Rebecca.

I don't need to bring it up.

It doesn't need to be a thing.
I just want to move forward.

Ahead of the dinner party,

Leisha and Reiss have decided to pay
a visit to one of their neighbours.

I'm so excited!
I'm so excited to meet everyone.

I want to see if they're happy
in their couples.

KNOCKING AT DOOR

Oh, hello!

Oh!

Come in. Hi.

Hi! How are you?

What's your name? Leisha.
I'm Leigh.

Leigh and... Leah. When did you just
get here, just now?

Yeah, literally just arrived.
Oh. 12-hour flight.

Oh, really? Where have yous been?
Thailand.

Was it good? Unreal. Yeah.

Sick. Are yous,
like, well-matched?

Couple of little barneys.

Oh, really?
Are yous each other's type?

Yeah. Oh, that's good.

First impressions of
Reiss and Leisha is, fit and fit.

I can definitely see them being
a few people's types,

including myself.

We needed something to spice it up.

Because of my past, I'm a little
bit hypersensitive

to flirty behaviour.

There's been a lot of emotions
and a lot of things going on

that have been getting to my head
a little bit.

Me and Leah have been through
the situation with Rebecca

and me feeling like Leah was being
too flirty with Rebecca,

and now she's doing it again.

I'm so excited about the dinner
party.

How are you feeling? Same.

I'm looking forward
to showing everyone my wife. Aw!

I know, and my husband!

So what do you think of the new
couple?

I think they look gorgeous together.
She's definitely a girl's girl.

I like it when someone's tactile
straight away,

it means
that they're quite friendly.

Well, here we are, almost at
the midpoint in the experiment,

and this is
where things start to get real.

Now, of course,
we have three new couples.

Very exciting. And coming off
the back of In-laws Week,

the couples are forced
to really rehash

and relive every bit
of their experience.

First here. Happy days. More drink
for me! More booze for you.

I can't wait. Maeve and Joe,
looking like a united couple

on the back of both of them
saying that they love each other.

It's obviously helped them
to grow closer together,

and I think that's
what we're seeing here.

Very quiet when no-one else is here,
like, innit?

You look great. Thanks, darling.
So do you. Matching again.

I know, matchy-matchy.

Hey! Whoa!

Hello! Hi, guys. How are you doing?
I'm all right, you?

Here's Divarni and Julia-Ruth.

Last time we saw Julia-Ruth and
Divarni,

there was quite a bit of friction
going on there,

so I'm hoping there's been some
progress.

We'll all sit down together, yeah?
Yeah. What's been happening?

So we had Divarni's cousin come.

Yeah. And then I had my two best
friends come as well.

It was just really intense,

because they were both trying
to defend and protect us.

Yeah. Why was it heated?

We just went over, just stuff that
we went through already

in our honeymoon, literally opening
up a wound that was already closed

and then it was just raw emotions
bringing it back,

you know what I mean?

Right.

I think Divarni is indirectly saying
that he doesn't see any benefit

in bringing up old wounds.

Not every bit of conflict needs
to be resolved,

but if you can't go back

and address it,
it means that it still is an issue.

That's right. Yeah.

Hey!

Sarah and Dean.

Last time we saw Sarah, we had
to give her some home truths

around the disrespect that she gave
Dean.

So hopefully, they've had a better
week.

You all good? No. My best mate came.
Threw me off a bit.

He's like,
"I know you protect everyone.

"It's in your nature,
but are you making sure you're OK?"

And I was like, "Yeah,
maybe I need to take it on board."

To hear it from your best mate
from home, you're like, OK.

After that, I kind of left
a little bit deflated, to be fair.

So I think for Dean,
hearing his best friend question,

"Are you looking after yourself
in this relationship?",

it's going to have a really
strong impact on him.

I wonder if Dean's friends are
actually saying

what he knows deep down.

It doesn't sound like he's shocked
by this feedback at all.

I think he knows this. Yeah.

How was your In-laws Week?

Um, it was just good to sort of
hear

both of their, you know, like,
advice and...

Yeah. So, yeah. Onwards and upwards.

Um, yeah.

And what about you, Miss Maeve?

Sarah's completely dodged
that question.

Yeah. Deflect. Mm-hm.

Hey!

Hello, bubbas! Hi!

Nelly and Steven.

Hello! How are you?
Last time we saw Steven and Nelly,

they were not in a good place.

And it looks like they're
at least signalling

that they are a united front.

How's your week been?
Well, obviously,

last week was hell.
We've had In-Laws Week.

It was really nice seeing my brother
and sister.

I feel like the start
of last week,

I felt like there was this big,

massive dark cloud over Nelly and
Steve.

It was such a 180 from the honeymoon
that I was like, what's happened?

Because I'm fully the same.
Do you know what I mean? Yeah.

I think it just reiterated to me

that we were in such an awful place,
and that made me sad.

But this week has been better. Yeah!

This week I've been more present,
which has been good.

There've been no dramas, I don't
think. Unless she says otherwise.

LAUGHTER

How was In-Laws Week?

Which I expected. Yeah, of course.

They were a bit like, "Let's make
sure that don't happen again."

Oh, fair. I was like, "Well, it was
just the heat of the moment."

People say things out of turn
that they don't actually mean.

I think for Steven, you call your
partner something like that,

then it needs to be addressed

and I'm not seeing any remorse here
at all.

Nor any regard
for how it made Nelly feel.

No.

Hello! Hey! Welcome.

Here's our gorgeous girls,
Leigh and Leah.

A bit grunge. Little bit grunge.
Little bit grunge.

Last time we met Leigh and Leah,

Leah's comments about Rebecca
were making Leigh feel jealous,

and so the two of them were
navigating their way through this.

We've got a secret to tell everyone.

Ooh.

What?

We met a new couple today. What?
Where?

Yeah, they came to our apartment.

So we've got Reiss and Leisha.

Oh, exciting. She's brunette.
Blue eyes.

Yeah. Oh, of course
you fucking noticed.

Oh, that's interesting.

I think we need to kind of establish

what this jealousy
or insecurity is about.

Is it an ego thing
or is there something there?

"You know, this is my partner

"and actually, I feel quite
uncomfortable about this."

But she's a definite girl's girl,
tactile, nice, huggy.

Leah's type, basically.
Yeah, she's my type.

They're hot.

Straight away, it's comments
about Leisha and the way she looks,

and I don't feel she's taking my
feelings into consideration

when she's making comments.

Those comments... About Leisha?
Yeah.

I've sat on a couch
and I've told you

I've been through these similar
situations before.

I've been humiliated in the past.
I find it disrespectful.

New girl's come in -
again, your type.

First thing you've done -
"Yeah, she's fit. Lovely eyes."

It's all about
her physical appearance.

OK, so this is starting to become
a little clearer.

She's being triggered based on her
past relationships,

and she's feeling fearful.

This is the second time that Leah
has crossed Leigh's boundaries,

and Leigh has made it clear
that she wants a level of respect

when it comes to their
communication.

Leah's not able to deliver on it,

or she's intentionally
provoking her.

I'm just going to keep
my eyes peeled

as to what happens from now.

We will see when she comes in. Yeah.

Hello! Hello.

Oh!

Our first new couple!
Reiss and Leisha.

Hey!

ALL EXCLAIM

Hi!

This must be the new couple.

A new couple?

I'm so excited.

Oh.

Oh, Leigh.

Hello! Hello.

Oh.

Thank you. How are you?

Hello.

Oh, Leigh.

You look stunning! So do you.

Hello, my darling. How are you?
I'm good. How are you?

I'm good. Hello. Do you want
a prosecco? Yes, please.

Thank you. Have you met everyone?
Or nearly everyone? Yes.

How are you? Thank you so much.

ALL TALK AT ONCE

Cheers! Welcome, welcome, welcome.

I honestly need to borrow that. That
is gorgeous. You can have it.

Shall we take a seat?
Do you want to sit down?

Let's sit down here.

Tell me, tell me,
tell me what is going on.

Have yous had a snog?
Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah?

Yeah. No qualms in that department.

Do you know what I mean? We had a
little barney. I asked the question,

"Do you think you're falling
for me?" He was like...

Oh, in a week? Oh, hell.

Oh, my goodness.

I said, three days.

Why did you ask him? Oh, I just
felt like it. It's a lot, that.

Is it? It's a lot. It's a lot!
Oh, shit.

After three days,
you can't say that.

If I got asked after three days,
I would have been like,

"I'm pushing you in the pool
and I'm swimming off." Oh, shit.

I think this is quite a good
reality check for Leisha,

because I think in her world,
she does move very quickly.

I wonder if maybe she's not getting
what she needs from Reiss right now

for her to feel secure enough

so she doesn't need to ask
that question so early on. Hmm.

So how are you two getting along?
She's quite fast-moving.

You know, like, the second day she
was like, "Are you falling for me?"

And I was like, I thought she was
joking at first.

I don't normally move that quick.

I don't know what kind of speed she
likes to move,

but it's obviously a lot
faster than myself.

We had a bit of a row

about my development of
the relationship. OK.

So this issue of pacing comes
up a lot.

It doesn't have to be a problem,

you know, as long as there's
good communication around,

"This is where I'm at
and what I need",

"This is where I'm at
and what I need,

"let's find the compromise
and the common ground."

But I think
what we're observing here is,

the two of them are not talking
to each other about that.

On a plane on the way home,
she was banging back a load of wine,

and then she's come walking
up to me, like, sick all down her.

Nah. What?

Oh.

She's, like, kneeled down.
Like, she's just like,

looking at me, like, shaking her
head, like.

Oh, my God. And then she just
walked off and got changed.

She's gone for ages.
I'm watching the film,

so I know, like, an hour has passed
and she still ain't come back.

So I've got up and, like, she's
chatting to some geezer,

like, outside the toilet for, like,
a straight hour.

Wow. Jesus.

I'm thinking, "We've just come back
from honeymoon and you's doing this?

"It's well disrespectful. I wouldn't
do that to you." Yeah, yeah.

So that caused a rift. Nah, I think
you're fair enough there, though,

you know what I mean?

Of course,

it's still such early days
for Leisha and Rhys.

They're just starting to get
to know each other.

But getting drunk and then spending
a significant amount of time

talking to another man isn't
exactly ideal behaviour

to display in front of your new
husband.

Absolutely. It's understandable
that Reiss would be upset

and left questioning
what's really going on.

How are you? Where are you at?
She's in her little love bubble.

Me little bubble.

That's all lovely. Yeah.
But how are you actually feeling?

I am happy. But yesterday,
when I had a chat with Sofia,

she was like, "What are you going
to do after this?"

Because she was like, "You are
so on your bubble now.

"What's going to happen when you
actually get out of here?"

And I was like, "I've not actually
thought about this."

This is the power of In-Laws Week,

where those big questions about
the real world start to come up.

And quite often, our
couples haven't considered that yet.

Last week I was going to say
something

and he was like,
"Don't get involved."

But, like,
I felt like I had to say something.

Oh, when I was on the sofa? Yeah.

I just thought, that's not who I am,

but then I didn't
want to make him feel uncomfortable.

Do you know what I mean?

Not saying that I'm being
a different person, but...

If that is who you are and you do
want to give your opinion,

you shouldn't have to dim yourself
down or not speak on that

because it's not something he would
do. Mm-hm.

You can really see the conflict
in Maeve.

She's not quite sure
who she should be.

Should she be the Maeve
that she knows,

or should she be the Maeve
that Joe wants her to be?

And you can see that she's kind
of going backwards and forwards.

How are you doing?
How have you been getting on?

It's coming there slowly.
There's no pressure on it.

Sometimes when you're on that couch,
I want to fucking shake you.

Sometimes I feel like you just
support her every time.

It always plays on my mind,
what you said at the stag.

You want to be on the pedestal

and you always put
the other person on the pedestal,

and I'm watching that play out
in real life.

You need to have your feelings out
there as well.

So here what we've got

is Leah essentially reinforcing
what Dean's friend said to him.

He's telling himself that he's
in this great relationship

with this beautiful woman
who he really likes.

And I think because his self-esteem
is underdeveloped,

he doesn't believe
that he deserves more.

ALL CHEER

Keye and Davide. Yes. Happy as ever.

And we can always trust them
to raise the energy.

Yes. Yes.

Held each other's hands

all the way through
until they greeted a couple.

Yeah. And the smiles. Yes.

Hello. Hello, nice to meet you.
Lovely to meet you.

Where did you go on honeymoon?

Thailand. Oh, my God, amazing.
Yeah.

Got back yesterday.
And do you like your husband?

Yes. Yeah!
It's important to check, you know.

Hi!

Rebecca and Bailey, a golden couple.

Hello!

How are you doing?
Good to see you, sir.

Good to see you. Hello.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you. I'm Reiss.
I'm Rebecca. Reiss? Yeah.

Hi, darling! You look amazing.

Cheers, bro.

Cheers. Cheers, bro.

What I love about Rebecca and Bailey
is,

they always put on
this united front.

How are you? How's your week been?
Our week has been quiet.

I mean, we're like
the mum and dad of the group.

You are mum and dad.

Ooh!

Hi!

Hi!

Abigail and John.
Our second new couple.

What's your name? I'm John.
Nice to meet you.

What's your name? I'm Abby. Abby.
Lovely to meet you.

I'm John. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.

How's everything going?

I feel like I've missed so much.
Oh, tell me about you first.

What's going on? So we've
just come back from the Seychelles.

It was really nice.
We're getting on really well.

He's literally, like, kind
of everything that I asked for.

Aw! Yeah. It's been really, really
sweet. Yeah, so far, so good.

Aw, well done, us. Yeah.
Pat on the back.

Nice. Tick, tick, tick.
Nice work.

So, how's everything going?
Honestly, mate, like, brilliant.

Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The wedding - fantastic.

Like, the vows - she said her vows.
I could have written them.

Like, honestly,
they said the same things.

We've been flying, to be fair,
yeah.

Oh, that's good, mate.

You can see Dean's trying to put on
that positive exterior,

but he's really feeling it.

It's clear that Dean would love
to be in John's position.

Yeah.

Oh.

Oh, hi!

Oh, no!

Oh! Oh, no. Grace is alone.

What's happened? Where's Ash?

Oh, my... What?

Aaah!

Oh!

OK. Oh, I like that.

Well, they've come in, high energy,
having a bit of a laugh,

so hopefully they're
in a really good place.

It's a good sign. Yeah.

Why would you do that?

Sorry, it was so easy.

Um, Ashley and Grace.

Sorry, what was your name again?
John.

John? Yes. I want to know
about In-Laws Week with you.

With me? Yeah, with you.
Um, it was good.

We saw two of my bridesmaids,

and then we saw Ash's mum,
Maxine and sister Jess.

It's really helped us.

No, we're all right. We're in a
really good place, to be fair.

I feel like she's really working at
it, so, yeah,

couldn't have gone any better.
Really?

That's good. Yeah.

Grace and Ashley have
so many shared values,

and it's important
for them to remember that

and it appears as if they have,

and that's the core of the success

of the success of the relationship
they've had so far.

How are you doing?
You guys are getting on OK?

Yeah, everything seems perfect.

Um, are you actually happy
with your partner?

Um, initially for me,

the attraction and that sort of
spark wasn't there. OK.

But he makes me laugh.

We've got the same values.

The only thing for me was just
that attraction.

Can you feel the attraction grow,
though, or is it a total no?

I don't... It's hard. We're taking
it sort of step by step.

And have you had intimacy? No.

We've, like, held hands
and, like, cuddled and things.

But no, we're just taking it slow.

It's interesting the way Sarah says,
"We're just taking it slow",

as though it's a joint decision
between the two of them,

and it's clearly not.

There really isn't any evidence

of them moving beyond friendship
at this point.

Hey, guys. Hey!

Hello!

Oh, here's our third new couple,
April and Leo.

Hi, nice to meet you!

Nice to meet you. Steven, nice to
meet you. Steven. Leo.

How has it been, like,
since the honeymoon?

We have got a lot in common.

I can really see
why they paired us together.

There is some, like, niggles
and stuff,

but at the end of the day it's still
so early on.

What kind of things
were you guys not really gelling on?

I was just concerned about how
I very much lead the conversation.

I feel like if I wasn't talking,
there would be a lot of silence,

but I have addressed that with him.

Like, on the last dinner,
I said, you know,

"I do feel like I'm leading
the conversation a lot.

"It's a bit of a worry for me."
And he just sort of, you know,

explained that he's not been
in a relationship a long time

and sort of said his side of things.

Did you ever try
and just leave it?

Just let the silence...just see
what happened?

I find it really, really difficult.
Right.

Yeah, but I did, I tried.
What happened? There was silence.

Literally, they could not have
picked a better match for me.

Really?

She's like the female version of me,
but better looking.

The main concern around it

is that emotional connection is
built on conversation.

Emotional connection
is built off very much getting deep,

and that's what's more
concerning me, you know what I mean?

I'm worried that that won't build.

Do you feel like he's the man
for you?

I hope so. Like, I don't know.
There's certain things

I'm doing with Reiss and I'm like,
"I'm too much, I'm too much."

Really? Yeah. They're like,
"Leisha, it's too much."

Are you too much?

He's like, "You've had about three
cups of coffee

"and I've literally just woke up."

I'm like that.

I like the outdoors, don't like
to be stuck on my couch.

Yeah, I hate that as well.
I like to get up in the morning,

seize the day,
crack on with it. That's like me.

Where I live is, like, on the beach.

Oh, nice. So I like getting out.
Yeah.

Having a coffee outside,
get the natural light. Yes!

Would you say when you normally get
in a relationship,

you're like instant connection,
fireworks, passion. Yeah.

I like to meet somebody and there's,
like,

that flirty vibe straight away.

Do you know what I mean? For me,
I much prefer it

when I meet somebody
and there's, like,

that flirty connection.
Yeah, that's important for me.

Especially something like this,
like, you want to have that.

I'm fucking pissed off.

I can see Leah's been flirting
with Leisha.

It's not that I don't trust
the other girl.

It's more on Leah's behaviour.

Where are you going?
Oh, I like the colours.

Where are we?

We're walking in the dinner party.
Everybody else is holding hands

and I'm just looking over at Reiss,
going, "What are you doing?

"Where's my husband?
Why are you not holding my hand?

"Like, give me some support,
please."

Hello? Yo!

There seems to be a real disconnect
here, with Leisha talking about

how symbolic and meaningful
a handhold is to her.

Yes. Maybe it's not to Reiss.

I'm not being a brat, you know what
I mean? Look at that.

So everybody else is holding hands.
He doesn't grab my hand.

I feel like that means quite
a lot to women as well.

It means so much to me.
It's the little things like that.

Like, fuck's sake, why are you
not holding my hand? Yeah.

Is that all right? No, it's just
like,

everybody else is holding hands

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

I was holding your hand.
I stopped holding your hand

for two seconds and you're like,

"You don't fucking hold my hand."
You didn't hold my hand.

She's very pissed off at me
right now for not holding her hand.

She needs quite a bit of reassurance
from me.

It was only two minutes
I didn't hold it.

I can't
constantly be holding her hand.

Just frustrating, man.

The way you handle shit
is, like, to me, immature.

Like, "Don't hold my fucking hand"
and storm off

like I should be, "Oh, sorry,
darling" and chasing after you.

No, no.

You should want to, like,
do that with me.

Like, I shouldn't have to ask.

Well, there's a job to be done here
for both Reiss and Leisha.

Leisha needs to communicate

that hand-holding is important to
her,

but he also needs
to start reading her.

So I think work needs
to be done on both sides here.

I feel like you're raging.

I'm not doing anything.

You think I fancy her? Do you?

No.

If you don't fancy her,

we don't need any more comments
about how hot you think she is.

I didn't say hot. I said fit.

I think it's a Liverpool thing.

I think the word fit means
the same thing as hot across the UK.

What's most concerning for me
is how is it landing with Leigh?

Right. Yeah.
And it's clear she's hurt.

She's pained by it.

Everyone's so complimentary
up north.

Londoners aren't like that.

Did she really just say to me

that she's more flirty
because she's from Liverpool?

Biggest fucking cop-out
I've ever heard.

So the reason that you flirt with
other girls

is because you're from Liverpool?

Who do I flirt with?
I don't flirt with Rebecca.

And I certainly haven't flirted
with her.

Marriage definitely can't work
without trust.

A relationship can't
work without trust.

It's pathetic.

I've expressed my feelings
about other girls and being flirty,

or just pushing boundaries
that I've set.

What I won't do

is allow someone to disrespect me
again and again and again.

All right, you got this.
You got this.

KEYE BANGS FORK AGAINST GLASS

ALL CHEER

Hello, everyone. Hi.

So I hate public speaking,

um, but as it's his birthday,
I guess I'll do it.

I have fallen in love with this man.

ALL CHEER

Yes. Look at that.

"Fallen in love with""

Oh, gorgeous.

He is the kindest,
most honest human being

I've ever met in my life.

I do not know what on earth I did
to deserve this man.

But I'm so glad that he is here
and here with me.

If we could raise a glass to Davide
and our new couples.

Cheers. Cheers, guys.
ALL: Cheers!

Yeah!

Cheers! Thank you.
Cheers, guys. Cheers. Chin-chin.

It's really hard to see
Sarah and Dean here.

Such sad face expressions
when they heard Keye say that,

and I think it's a reflection
of what they don't have

in their relationship,
unfortunately. It's sad.

So how are you two doing?
Yeah, good. Really good.

We know Dean is the eternal
optimist,

sometimes at the expense of reality.

And so he was always going to say,

"Yeah, great,
everything's going great."

But looking
at Sarah's nonverbal communication,

she's really saying, "I don't think
things are going too well at all."

It is really hard to see the other
couples progressing.

Physically, you can see
that they're all over each other.

I just don't know how much more I've
got left within me,

to be completely honest.

How about you guys?

How was the in-laws
and the rest of the week?

Steve and I are
in a really not great place.

Ultimately, we want to try and get
back

to how we felt about each other,
I guess, on the honeymoon.

You're never going to get truly back
to the honeymoon thing,

because what's happened has changed
the dynamic slightly,

but you can get back to a place of
the honeymoon again.

I'm just thinking, like,

is there anything else I can do
from my end, really?

What do you define as needy,
though?

Needy for me
is just being ultra-possessive.

I'm not massive on public displays
of affection anyway,

the constant always putting my arm
around you...

I think
when the neediness comes in,

that's when I've started going
the other way.

I am genuinely, really,
really sorry about it.

It's just hard to navigate.

I think what would be more healthy
from Steven

is him saying, "OK, this
is what you need from me.

"Let me see if I can make a little
bit more effort

"and give you a little bit more
encouragement and support

"so you don't feel the need to want
so much more from me."

But he's putting all the blame
on Nelly.

Well, you said it early doors -

"What do you think about the other
girls?"

Why are you asking that? That was
a poorly landed joke on my behalf.

That was me, my insecurity coming
out as a joke

and it landed really, really badly.

It was like, "What do you think the
other girls are like?

"Do I need to be worried?"
And I'm like, "No."

I'm so sorry if it offended you.

But just remember, at that point
I knew you'd pulled away

and I hadn't had a reason why.

It's very natural for a person to
feel that way.

If I'd randomly pulled away from you
and didn't tell you, you'd think,

"What the hell's going on in her
head?"

That's exactly what I was thinking
at that moment.

I thought,
"I have no idea what's going on."

I feel like you guys need
to focus on being good

and growing and progressing,

and you'll be happy
once you get there

and stop looking back at the past.

Nelly needs certain things,
but maybe vocalising that to him,

so then Steven knows

and Steven can learn from it
as well.

I think with that, though,

I just worry
that if I do vocalise too much,

I'll just push him away even more.

You're not asking too much
to tell your partner

what you need in a relationship.

If Steven were to turn around
and say,

"I'm going to walk because it's too
much for me",

then he's not right for you.

I think Leigh has made a really
valid point there.

Nelly has every right to say
to Steven

what she needs
from this relationship.

And if there are worries
about doing that,

then you have to ask yourself,

is this the right relationship
for you?

What were your highlights from
the honeymoon?

My highlight
was actually spending it with you.

Like... Aw!

I know that sounds really cheesy,

but it's just because 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

and it's just seeing the progression
from, like, the start

to the end of the honeymoon.

More and more each day,
I became more like myself.

It just highlighted, like,

how much like I genuinely wanted
to find someone

and that, like, I've found my
person.

John is besotted.

Look at how he locks his eyes
in as Abby just talks.

Yes. There's no-one else in
the room. No-one else in the room.

You guys seem so solid and so, like,
lovely together.

Yeah, we're doing so well. Yeah, so
good.

I said the L-word at the
commitment ceremony last week.

Oh, my God.
How did you feel when he said it?

Like, when anyone tells you
they love you,

like, I feel so strongly for him,

so, like, when someone you feel for
says that they love you,

it's a big thing, isn't it?

I just said it. You're blushing!

You haven't said it back?

I'm just
so much more reserved than him

with, like, expressing my feelings
that way.

Like, I'm much more of a slow
burner. But you are very much...

I'm very much in.
I feel so strongly for him.

For me, like,
love is like an end goal.

And I think I probably think

about those things much
more than Bailey does.

Let me be cute.

I think this is a really
beautiful example

of a couple where one partner

is moving towards
the emotional connection

more quickly than the other.

Their pace is not quite matched,
but they're talking about it.

And then you have Leisha and Reiss,

who are unable
to communicate how they feel.

How are you feeling?

I know you're raging. You know that?

Yeah. All right. Cool.

You know
I can't deal with stuff like this

when you start going like this
and you just shut down.

We'll just put it behind us, yeah?

You just... I can just tell, like,
I'm getting all nervous and that.

I'm just feeling like shit now.

My worries with Reiss
are me pushing Reiss away.

I think I do certain stuff
like the way I did on the plane,

and then we get into an argument
and he just ignores me,

and he just gets himself
in his head,

and he doesn't communicate with me.

Guys, I have the honesty box.

"Good evening,
and welcome to our new arrivals."

CHEERING

"Tonight's honesty box is a little
bit different,

"as we'll be asking you all to
hold a mirror up to each other

"and provide frank and objective
opinions.

"One person from each couple

"must read out their question to
the group,

"and once the group
have finished responding,

"the couple must also reflect
and answer the question."

So the questions
from this honesty box

will be answered by the group
rather than the couples themselves.

Here's such a great opportunity,
getting an outside perspective.

It's going to be very interesting
to see how things go tonight.

You've all heard about
the journey home from the honeymoon.

Are you Team Leisha or Team Reiss?
What happened, bro?

All right, so basically, what it
was,

Leisha's come up to me with sick
down her. I was just drunk.

Then she got changed.

And then a little time later,
I went to go to the toilet

and Leisha was just, like, talking
to a boy.

And like, the conversation lasted
about an hour.

Some random boy on the flight.
He was, like, in his twenties.

Team Reiss. Team Reiss. Team Reiss.

LEAH: So how did that make you feel?

Team Reiss.

Wait, how did it make you feel?

Obviously pissed off.
Like, I felt disrespected.

I hear you, because I would feel
exactly the same.

You're off the back
of your honeymoon.

Regardless of if it was flirty or
not,

do you think you should be sat on
a plane

talking to a boy similar age to you?
Probably not.

What's your view of the story?

In that perspective, it was very
valid and obviously, I apologised.

As soon as he said it, I was like,
"Oh." I knew I'd fucked up.

That's his boundary,
and I'll respect that from now on.

Hang on a minute.

There's one little part that's just
not sitting right with me.

You've been telling us about, like,
what you need from each other

and what you're uncomfortable with
and how he shuts down.

But if somebody's shutting
down off the back of your action,

you can't really complain
about his behaviour afterwards,

because it was fuelled
by what you did.

I'm not stupid.

Like, I obviously realised that
that wasn't something that he liked.

That's a boundary for him.

I'm a very friendly person.

I'll chat to everyone.

The main thing is
that you don't know each other,

so maybe just, like,
a little bit more respect.

Honestly, brother,
I would have been absolutely fuming.

Do you feel like you did wrong?
I didn't think I did anything wrong.

If you've just gone
and married this man,

you've just had a honeymoon
with this man,

he doesn't know you
and doesn't know your character...

It's like, babe,
do you know what I mean?

For fuck's sake.

I'm getting it
from every angle possible.

They don't know me.

I've had past relationships.
That's never been a problem.

But the other side of it is
if you had spent time with her,

maybe she wouldn't have got
that drunk with strangers. Er...no.

Absolutely fucking not.

I'm gutted, I'm not going to lie.

For fuck's sake.

I'm getting it
from every angle possible.

They don't know me.
I've had past relationships.

That's never been a problem.

But the other side of it
is if you'd spent time with her,

maybe she wouldn't have got
that drunk with strangers. Er...no.

Absolutely fucking not.

This is right at the beginning.
Give Leisha some fucking slack.

This is a fucking intense process.

You are thrown into a relationship
instantly without knowing anybody.

Reiss, I'm not taking away from you.

That must have been a bit shit,
but, like, give her some slack.

It must be really uncomfortable

for Leisha to come into this new
group

and to have probably one of the most
embarrassing things

of her experience so far being
aired so publicly like this.

"What one thing do you think each
of us need to do differently

"to help our marriage?"

I think it's sometimes
just sitting back

and not taking it as an attack
if Ashley wants to look after you.

Don't question it and just let him
do those nice things for you.

It comes from kindness
and a really good place.

OK, that's really good.
Cos you deserve that.

Yeah. I think it starts with trust,

if you can trust that Ash
has your best interests at heart.

That trust is just building now,
and it is there and...

I'm always going to have your back.
That's me as a person.

Consistently more of the good,
less of the bad.

Yeah, yeah. Come on, then.

CHEERING

Look at that kiss. Fabulous.
This is a really big move for Grace.

We know she's uncomfortable
with PDAs,

so to be able to engage
in such a big public kiss with Ash,

it's a really big deal.

"Do you really think we have a
future together?

"And if not, why not?"

You've had a rocky period, you have.

Dean, make sure you're here for
yourself

and your own journey as well,

because there's nothing worse than,
like,

you're feeling like you're pushing,
pushing, pushing,

and you're not getting nothing back.

Do you feel like there's
a spark between you after this week?

No.

Romantically, I'm not sure.

I am doing everything I can,
so we'll see.

That would be hard for Dean,

hearing in no uncertain terms,
"No."

It knocks me back to hear Sarah
doesn't have a spark.

I thought we were progressing.

I don't know what more I can do.
I'm doing everything I can.

That wasn't awkward for you, was it?
Yeah, no, it's OK.

What am I supposed to say?
No, I know.

You know what I mean?

I just feel really bad.
Like, I want it to be there.

Well, don't rush it. If it comes,
it comes. If it doesn't, it doesn't.

I know, I know, I know, I know.
I just don't want to hurt you.

I don't fancy him.

I can't keep doing it.

And I do see something,
like, lovely between us,

but I just don't know if it's
in that romantic setting,

and I've just told him that.

And I haven't, I just, I haven't
led him on. I haven't, like.

But then I'm like,
"Why can't you see that?"

Because he is such a lovely guy.

It just fucks with your head.

Sorry.

Oh.

Next time...

For me, I got kicked out of my head.

..hard-hitting honesty
from the couples...

What more can I actually do?

You've done something
to piss me off.

..and the experts...

Why weren't my feelings considered
in this?

That is a masterful deflection.

We are talking
about your wife right now.

..makes for an emotional make
or break commitment ceremony.

I'm worried that if I give up

that I'm going to be like,
"Oh, I wish I'd tried."

Sarah, I think you're clutching
at straws here.

You know how you feel.
