00:00I'm ready to have love, that missing piece of the puzzle.
00:05Previously...
00:06Oh, you're really cute!
00:08..two new singles married at first sight...
00:11There's 100% a spark.
00:13..and fell head over heels...
00:15The wedding day of dreams. It couldn't have gone any better.
00:18..while the experiment's established couples...
00:21Oh!
00:23..played hosts to more loved ones...
00:25When we come to communicating, it's balls!
00:28..and a friend's interrogation...
00:30Is this all a facade? Are you trying to be famous?
00:34..reignited Rochelle's trust issues.
00:37Something ain't quite adding up.
00:39Sue, can't you interpret what I'm saying?
00:41You just chat so much shit.
00:43I'm too old for this nonsense.
00:48Tonight...
00:49Oh, I can't wait to see my dad!
00:51SHE SCREAMS
00:52..the arrival of more in-laws puts on the pressure.
00:55Your approval is the most important.
00:58..as Ross seeks a father's blessing.
01:01My dad's not happy.
01:04While an insensitive comment from Casper...
01:07I've never fancied curvy women.
01:09Oh, no, no, no.
01:10That was poor delivery. You can't say that.
01:13That's not a nice thing to say.
01:15..prompts brutal honesty from a best friend.
01:18Right now, I don't think he's the man for you.
01:21And the experiment's final two singles...
01:24True love means everything. I'd hope that she is the one.
01:27I've been so unlucky in past relationships.
01:30I've put all my hope into this one.
01:32..meet and marry at the altar.
01:35What am I doing, guys?
01:36But will the bride get in cold feet?
01:38I'm feeling very overwhelmed.
01:40Do you take Ryan to be your husband?
01:43..stop the marriage in its tracks?
01:46I'm scared and want to run away.
01:48I feel like this is a massive mistake.
01:58Whoo!
01:59Prepare for five-star luxury
02:01as you soak up the sun in the Dominican Republic.
02:04Unreal.
02:05Newlyweds Hannah and Stephen are about to jet off on honeymoon.
02:09You ever been?
02:10No, have you?
02:11Nope.
02:12Where is it?
02:13I don't really know.
02:14Caribbean.
02:15Is it?
02:16Where is it?
02:19Oh, I can't wait to see my dad.
02:21SHE SCREAMS
02:22And the established couples are preparing
02:24to welcome friends and family for in-laws week.
02:28Obviously, we're quite touchy, usually me and you.
02:32We're quite physically affectionate.
02:34You'll have to strip it back when my dad's here.
02:38I do that.
02:39My dad would just feel really uncomfortable
02:41with, like, a man all over me.
02:43I am his, like, little princess.
02:45So it'd be a bit like, whoa, calm down, Ross.
02:48I've not even given you the thumbs up yet.
02:50Don't talk about things you know you're not allowed to.
02:56The girls, oh, I'm shaking.
02:58I can't wait to see the girls.
03:00I need to exhale with my people.
03:03I'll get on with this, then.
03:04Yeah, go on.
03:06I'm apprehensive.
03:07I just think that we're going to be rehashing the honeymoon
03:10and they're going to be angry with me.
03:12It's going to be a very difficult, awkward conversation.
03:15I can't see how this is going to end well.
03:19It's going to be great.
03:20It's going to be great.
03:21Yeah.
03:22The girls.
03:23Meanwhile, the experts are matching the final couple
03:26of the experiment.
03:28Two new couples wed.
03:29Time to introduce the last pair to enter the experiment.
03:33Shannon and Ryan might not seem like the perfect match
03:36at first glance, but I predict a strong bond
03:39forming between these two.
03:43In my friendship group, I'd say I was the joker
03:46or, like, the class clown.
03:50I'm daft.
03:52As daft as a brush.
03:54Not even going to lie.
03:56LAUGHTER
04:01I live in Manchester. I'm from a council estate.
04:05I work for the council as a bin man.
04:08I love it.
04:10Morning, Doris.
04:13I know some people do look at it and think it's not the best job.
04:16I get that.
04:18But someone's got to do that job.
04:20And I'm proud to say that I work on the bins.
04:24Always work on the bins, isn't there?
04:26As long as you can handle early mornings, it's good.
04:29You do get to know people on the round, you know?
04:31Like, sometimes I'll have a little flirt
04:34or a cheeky laugh with one of the residents.
04:36Morning, lovely, you OK?
04:39Someone can give you biscuits.
04:46I'm family-orientated.
04:47I help look after my gran as best as I can.
04:50Getting a brew off me.
04:52She's 92.
04:53You look at her and you say,
04:56Getting a brew off me.
04:57She's 92.
04:58You like them? Council estate biscuits.
05:00They're good.
05:07I've been single now four years.
05:10This has been a long time coming, I think.
05:12I definitely need some help.
05:14Definitely.
05:15I was with me ex for about three and a half years, four years.
05:20We've got a little boy called Leon.
05:23Get in!
05:24Being a dad is incredible.
05:27He's the best thing that's ever happened to me.
05:29He's my world, one million per cent.
05:32Have you got a girlfriend next year?
05:34No!
05:35Are you sure?
05:36Yeah!
05:37Ah!
05:38Come on!
05:39Every bit of time that I get with Leo is precious.
05:42Well done.
05:43Ah!
05:45I went for a pap trial.
05:46I did worry that I'd never see Leo be born.
05:50I was 22 when I was first diagnosed with bladder cancer.
05:55When I found out Leo's mum was about four months pregnant,
05:59it changed my life, turned it upside down.
06:10I didn't come to terms with it at first.
06:13I kept asking, Why me?
06:15Why me?
06:18I'm not ashamed to say I struggled.
06:20I think it's made me more of a man.
06:25So I've been in remission for the last three years
06:28and there's a chance that it could come back.
06:34Having cancer definitely affected my love life.
06:36It's a stumbling block for me there
06:38because obviously when you say to someone,
06:40I know for a fact people will think,
06:42how long have you got left to live?
06:44Have you then had to sort of speak to people in relationships
06:48about what's happened?
06:50Yeah, well, when you talk about cancer, you think of death.
06:53That just comes with it.
06:54I'm open about it.
06:55There's not really anything I can do about it.
06:57Life's short and let's just enjoy it.
06:59I'm at a good place now in my life.
07:03Through what I've had to go through,
07:05it's made me more of a man.
07:07Through what I've had to go through, it's changed me as a person.
07:11Like, life is precious.
07:16I definitely don't take things for granted now.
07:18Now, this is what you call a fairytale.
07:21My mum and dad have been together 31 years.
07:23They've got a very, very close bond.
07:28You look at them and you're like, well, why have I not got that?
07:32Marriage to me means a lot.
07:34Marriage to me means a lot.
07:36It's a big commitment.
07:41Love means everything.
07:43People look at me and I've had it said,
07:45you look like you'll play away from home.
07:48But I don't judge a book by its cover.
07:50I'm definitely not like that.
07:55I'm ready to grab life with two hands
07:58and just see where it can go with my new wife
08:01and hopefully just enjoy life together.
08:03I'm knocking 30, I think.
08:05It's just the last chance saloon for me.
08:07My usual type would have to be green or blue eyes.
08:14If I'm the all-irritated,
08:16I want someone that I can have fun with,
08:18that's not going to take life too serious.
08:22She could be the love of my life.
08:24I've been through a lot,
08:26but I deserve to have love like anybody else has.
08:29I would describe myself as a good time.
08:33Like a super energetic ball of fun.
08:39I feel like I can have fun in any situation.
08:44I am and always have been a bit of a wild child.
08:48Hiya!
08:49I am quite alternative to the nice lady with him.
08:52I've always been into tattoos and purisans.
08:55Oh, I love it. It looks so nice.
09:00I'm definitely a strong woman.
09:03I can be quite sassy when I need to be.
09:07Cheers!
09:09I am so close with my friends.
09:11I could not imagine my life without them.
09:13They're the best people on the planet.
09:15What's your thoughts on my last relationship?
09:18Too cute.
09:19I think I need to find somebody that I can have fun with.
09:22Too cute.
09:23I think I need to find somebody that I like physically,
09:27but also, like, actually emotionally.
09:31My friends think my love life is kind of sad at this point,
09:34just because I'm so bad at picking men.
09:37I feel like all I attract is fuckboys.
09:43I feel like fuckboys are just always after one thing,
09:46and once they get that, they don't care about anything else.
09:53In the past, my exes have been emotionally immature,
09:57I'm not going to lie.
10:00Definitely the type that just had no care whatsoever
10:03for how I was feeling.
10:05As long as I was there, I was like an object.
10:08That's all it was to them.
10:10They've cheated, lied, hidden things,
10:14went behind my back.
10:16I have trust issues.
10:19I don't trust anyone.
10:23I think the most important things in life to me
10:26are, like, my friends and my family.
10:28My mum is part of my friend group, she is an angel.
10:32I tell her everything, like...
10:35Me and my dad have always had, like,
10:37a really special relationship.
10:39I was a daddy's girl when I was younger,
10:42he would do anything for me and my sister.
10:45We were just going into lockdown,
10:47I think I hadn't seen him in a little while.
10:50He messaged and I immediately knew something was wrong.
10:58He just was like, yeah, I've been diagnosed with cancer.
11:03And it all happened super fast.
11:05It's, like, the hardest thing I've ever been through,
11:08and, like...
11:10In lockdown, I just couldn't be there for him.
11:15It was really hard.
11:20I took my time for granted with him,
11:22and I never should have.
11:26I think it is going to be important to me
11:28that I have a partner that understands.
11:30Just because grief hits you so randomly sometimes,
11:33I do need somebody that's going to be empathetic with it all.
11:40It's so important to me to find somebody
11:42that my dad would have liked.
11:45Do you feel that you maybe go for the same types of men?
11:49Embarrassingly, yes.
11:52Cos I know it's not what I need.
11:54So what do you think has gone wrong for you
11:56in terms of meeting the right one?
11:59I think I just find it hard to let my walls down.
12:03Yeah, I find it hard to be vulnerable.
12:06What do you fear will happen if you let your walls down?
12:09I'll be hurt.
12:11Or let down by somebody.
12:14I think my lack of trust in men
12:16has definitely affected my past relationships.
12:20The last thing I need is an emotionally immature pretty boy
12:23that's just going to fuck me over.
12:25I think, going forward, I need to actually get to know somebody
12:28deep down, rather than just going on my first impressions.
12:33My ideal husband would be
12:36somebody that is quite emotionally mature,
12:39so somebody that's maybe got something to say.
12:42So somebody that's maybe got some responsibility,
12:44somebody that's happy in themselves,
12:46and just so nice.
12:48Proper nice to the core.
12:55I don't think asking for somebody nice is too much.
12:59I see all my friends in these happy relationships.
13:03When is it my turn?
13:08This is a couple with lots of potential.
13:11Shannon is a fun-loving girl
13:13looking to navigate life with a supportive, mature man
13:17that she can trust with her deepest feelings.
13:20Ryan is a man comfortable in his own skin,
13:23with experience in handling some really big challenges
13:26that life's thrown at him.
13:28Becoming a parent has also helped him
13:30to develop that emotional maturity.
13:32And that's important to Shannon,
13:34who's fallen foul of a series of cheating partners.
13:37She struggles to trust,
13:39but Ryan has the loyalty and resilience needed
13:42to break down her walls.
13:44Ryan wants someone he's attracted to instantly,
13:48but also wants a partner who's down-to-earth.
13:51I think no-nonsense Shannon ticks both of those boxes.
13:55Both Shannon and Ryan have been through
13:58their fair share of trauma and loss.
14:00They'll be able to draw on those life experiences
14:03to relate to and understand one another
14:06and form a connection
14:08that could be a great foundation for the marriage.
14:11Shannon...
14:13and Ryan.
14:19Ooh!
14:21Getting excited now, are you?
14:23Oh, I'm so excited, Caspar.
14:25In London, Emma and Caspar are anticipating the arrival
14:29of Emma's sister, Lee, friend, Heidi,
14:32and Caspar's friend, Joe.
14:34I can't wait to see the girls.
14:36Is there a path forward? Is this a dead end?
14:39I'm looking to get that out from them.
14:42The girls will be nice to you, like you're my husband.
14:45Don't worry about the girls.
14:47That's all I am worried about.
14:49I'm very nervous that Emma's friends are coming here,
14:52cos I'm going to have to relive the honeymoon again.
14:55It's not something I'm proud of
14:57and it's not something I'm looking forward to.
14:59Ooh, do you want to get a door?
15:02No, not today.
15:04SHE SCREAMS
15:08These girls are my world.
15:10I just want a cuddle, a cry,
15:13and just to outpour our love for each other,
15:15cos this is the longest time I've not spoken to them
15:18in years and years and years and years.
15:21So, from the beginning, how was the honeymoon?
15:28Like, the hotel was amazing.
15:30Yeah, it was great. Nice.
15:32Yeah, gorgeous views right on the seafront, right over.
15:35And then...
15:39..we had a barmy that night.
15:41What?!
15:44You had an argument? No, I...
15:50What's the crack?
15:52Doesn't fancy me.
15:56Yeah. What, it came to that straight away? Yeah.
15:59I said something I shouldn't say.
16:01You should never say to someone, a woman...
16:03That you don't fancy her.
16:08The phrasing I use is, I...
16:10I don't... I've never fancied curvy women.
16:20That's not a nice thing to say, can it be?
16:22No, I'm fully aware. Yeah.
16:30Disappointing.
16:31My instinct's to swear, but I'm not going to swear.
16:37I thought I was calm, collected, mature...
16:43..and then I woke up the next morning
16:45and I just thought, a few girls.
16:47Oh! A few has been to a boy, see that?
16:50Oh, no, no, no.
17:00And I got really angry, and I just needed to say no.
17:03That was, like, that was poor delivery.
17:06You can't say that.
17:14I thought I was calm, collected, mature...
17:19..and then I woke up the next morning
17:21and I just thought, a few girls.
17:23Oh! A few has been to a boy, see that?
17:26Oh, no, no, no.
17:29And, you know, I just kind of, um...
17:32I thought I wouldn't have a husband say that
17:35to any of my fucking friends.
17:37No. No.
17:41Is that a piece? No, good.
17:43Her. Yeah.
17:44I was in a really horrific mental state
17:47because I was so unhappy with myself.
17:49Yeah. And the pain I'd caused Emma.
17:52My heart's breaking for Emma right now,
17:53something like that to be said at all,
17:55never mind quite so early.
17:57She does deserve the absolute world.
18:00Is it something that can be worked through?
18:02Realistically?
18:07The attraction isn't there?
18:09You know, is it quite a deal-breaker?
18:16It's not where we want it to be.
18:19And I'd say, you know, there's been a lot of frustration
18:22from the hope, but now we've got to try and make the best of it.
18:26I feel like I'm just reliving the same moment over and over again.
18:29If I could take it back a word.
18:32It's just frustrating.
18:33KNOCK AT DOOR
18:35Oh, the door.
18:41Hello. Hello.
18:42Hello!
18:43How are you?
18:47Joe's my best friend and I know he's got my back no matter what,
18:49and so I'm just so glad that he's made it.
18:52How are you doing, anyway?
18:53Not too bad. Well, I think more importantly, how are you guys getting on?
18:58OK. Excellent.
18:59Good.
19:02I suppose we're not where we would like to be.
19:04OK.
19:05Expand.
19:09Do we have to rehash this all over again?
19:11Please do.
19:14Excellent. Brilliant.
19:17I mean, we had a rocky anime,
19:19and most of that was down to one comment I made.
19:23Right.
19:24Her Emma.
19:27And we're still trying to recover from that place, I suppose.
19:32Basically, the attraction wasn't there.
19:34Right.
19:39I remember sitting down at the wedding with you
19:41and you'd said Caspar doesn't have a type.
19:43Like, he's got...
19:44But Caspar does have a type.
19:49I don't think any of his friends, just to help you,
19:52wouldn't be able to draw what that type is.
19:56I think Caspar saying he isn't attracted to curvy girls
19:58wasn't the best start,
19:59but actually, they're both trying to work towards something here.
20:02I think what's happened has happened,
20:04and I think they both look like they're trying to draw a line under it.
20:15Why do you sound out of breath?
20:17I don't know.
20:19I really don't know.
20:20HE LAUGHS
20:21HE SNORTS
20:42It's super important that Ross impresses my dad today.
20:46His opinion means more than anyone's to me.
20:49Because if my dad's not happy, I could all get hit up.
20:59SHE SCREAMS
21:00Ross!
21:03Ross!
21:04It's important to me to speak to Ross,
21:06because I want to know how he's going to look after my little girl.
21:09That's really important to me.
21:11So, really, he wants to, like, impress me today, really.
21:14You already getting your tea ready?
21:16He's got to be definitely protective, fiercely loyal,
21:20be willing to defend her to the death,
21:22even if it's wrong, like Bryn does me.
21:29Everything's going, like...
21:30It feels like we've been married three years.
21:32Three years.
21:33That's good.
21:34That's good.
21:35Like you've known each other for years, like.
21:37That's obviously why it's so important that you meet Ross today,
21:40because your approval is always the most important.
21:45You're from Manchester, aren't you?
21:47Oh, Manchester, yeah.
21:48Is that OK?
21:49Are you worried I'm going to disappear to Manchester?
21:52I've already said it. He's already said it.
21:55You would be so happy knowing how Ross is.
21:58It couldn't be any better.
22:00I think my dad would have preferred Ross to be from Birmingham,
22:03so, you know, I'd be living a little closer after this,
22:06but he knows I'm going to be gone.
22:09Are you all right, Ross? Are you used to playing football?
22:12I'm used to playing football, yeah.
22:14I would tell you two years ago.
22:16I've got a new hobby now, which is the gym.
22:21Dad, do you fancy coming to join in, then?
22:25Come on, then.
22:26Are you joking, now?
22:27I'm going to go to the gym now. I'm going to stay here.
22:29We can do some arms.
22:31I'm definitely worried for Ross going to the gym with my dad.
22:34He does not know what's going on.
22:36I'm going to go into the gym with my dad.
22:38He does not know what he's getting himself in for.
22:52Are you excited, Shannon?
22:53I keep getting waves of nerves.
22:55Mm-hm.
22:56But I'm excited.
22:57I wonder what he's going to look like. I know.
22:59Getting married to a stranger feels bizarre, I'm not going to lie.
23:03I'm so excited to meet him.
23:04I just want to know what he looks like already.
23:06Your usual type or something else?
23:08I don't know.
23:09I don't know if my usual type is good for me.
23:12So I think I'm secretly hoping it'll be somebody else.
23:14It's better if somebody else picks for you.
23:16It is, isn't it?
23:18I've just been so unlucky in my past relationships,
23:22and I think I've just put all my hope into this one.
23:25So if it doesn't work out, it's not going to be fun.
23:29Worst-case scenario, what's there?
23:31I really can't have a man child.
23:33Oy!
23:34And somebody that is emotionally mature as well.
23:38Don't want a fuckboy.
23:40Don't need any more of that in my life.
23:43I've put a lot of faith into the experts,
23:45just because I know I'm terrible myself.
23:49So if somebody knows what they're doing, perfect.
23:56You're going to be a husband, lad.
23:57I know, it's maddening.
23:58It's a big move, dad. You're going to be grown.
24:01I've always dreamt of this day, and I can't believe it's here.
24:04There's a lot riding on this,
24:05and I just want to start something while I'm young
24:07and build a future with someone.
24:09What are you saying about these bad boys?
24:11Yeah, I do.
24:12What are you going to do, though?
24:13If she's fancy and all that, but then she's all stuck up and that.
24:17If she's not down-to-earth straight away, it's like...
24:19This is definitely one of the biggest days of my life,
24:22by a country mile.
24:23My worst nightmare would be
24:25if you wasn't down-to-earth or humble with it,
24:28because I'd treat somebody on the street with nothing,
24:31just as I would with a man that had millions in the bank.
24:34So when do you reckon you're going to be sort of speaking to her
24:38about, like, cancer and stuff,
24:40and obviously the effect that sort of had?
24:42Obviously, it's not going to come out straight away.
24:44She might look at me and think,
24:45well, do I really want to settle down with someone
24:47that maybe has had that diagnosis?
24:49I'd think that. I'm only human, and I'd think that.
24:53When I was diagnosed,
24:55it put a big strain on my relationship at the time.
24:58And dating people, when you've told someone,
25:01it's like a stumbling block, really, in there,
25:03because it's like, well, are you going to last?
25:09I hope whoever I meet today accepts it.
25:12But I'm nervous.
25:14Very, very nervous.
25:17Come in.
25:19Hi. Oh, my goodness.
25:21Oh!
25:23Oh, my goodness, you look absolutely stunning.
25:27Don't cry!
25:29Oh, my God, stop it.
25:34I'm good.
25:36It is super important having my mum here today,
25:38just because my dad can't be with us.
25:40It is hard not having him here,
25:42So beautiful.
25:44Shall we get a drink? Yes.
25:46I need blood. Let's.
25:48She just looks so beautiful that...
25:50Yeah, I just burst into tears.
25:52I feel like I'm just ready to get there now.
25:54Get me down that aisle. Yeah.
25:56I can't wait to get you down that aisle, I'm not going to lie.
25:59Marriage and Sharlene, I just didn't expect it to happen.
26:01Did you not? No. Ever?
26:03Sharlene's had a lot of issues with her dad passing away,
26:06and then a boyfriend.
26:08It's like, oh, my God.
26:10Sharlene's had a lot of issues with her dad passing away,
26:12and then a boyfriend split up,
26:14and she had a bit of a tough time.
26:16So I'd really like somebody to know her background,
26:18and is empathetic.
26:20I'm anxious for your reaction.
26:22Why?
26:24Because your face gives away everything.
26:28I'm sick of men-child vibes.
26:30Like, I don't need that anymore.
26:32I think because I am putting my all into it,
26:36if it doesn't go how I want it to,
26:38I'm going to be pretty disappointed.
26:40And I am one of those people
26:42that doesn't hide their disappointment well.
26:48Today's massive for me.
26:52I'm definitely ready to commit.
26:56I want a fairy tale happy ending.
27:00True love means everything.
27:02I'd hope that she is the one.
27:04I've always dreamt of the love of my soul mate.
27:06I've always dreamt of the love of my soul mate,
27:08and the love of my life.
27:14Hi, guys.
27:16Hi, everyone.
27:20How are you feeling?
27:22Getting a wee bit nervous now, honestly.
27:24A bit anxious?
27:26Yeah. I'm still excited.
27:28Normal feelings.
27:32Are you OK?
27:34Are you OK?
27:36How are you feeling, mate?
27:38Alright. Not bad, not bad.
27:40Well, she stands you up.
27:42It's not what I was expecting.
27:46I am 100% looking for a man
27:48rather than a boy at this point.
27:50Nervy bit here,
27:52but take it in your stride, lad.
27:58He won't help you now.
28:00I'm really hoping
28:02I'm going to fall in love immediately.
28:06Once they get secured in themselves,
28:08I'm just going to be my rock.
28:16Bye.
28:24Hi, you OK?
28:26Hello, how's it going?
28:28Yeah.
28:30Ryan, what's your name? Shannon.
28:32Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.
28:34Are you nervous? How are you feeling?
28:36I'm good. I'm calm.
28:38She's very pretty, yeah.
28:42She's ticking boxes.
28:44Very pretty.
28:46Very pretty. I think potentially high maintenance.
28:50He looks like a fuckboy to me.
28:52All looks and no substance.
28:54What am I doing, guys?
28:58Shannon's reaction is cold.
29:00At the moment, I'm feeling
29:02awkward.
29:08You OK? No.
29:10Initial thoughts are
29:12very handsome, maybe a bit
29:14of a bad boy.
29:16I'm not entirely sure
29:18Shannon is happy.
29:22Feeling very overwhelmed.
29:24When I first saw Ryan, I immediately
29:26thought he's going to be just like the rest of them.
29:30He is good-looking, but
29:32is he the kind of guy that I can trust?
29:36So, I know we're all so excited
29:38for you both to share your vows today.
29:40So, Ryan,
29:42you're first.
29:44If you'd have asked me
29:46this time last year,
29:48where I saw myself in 2024,
29:50it definitely wouldn't be stood at an
29:52Odyssey wedding vows to a stranger.
29:56I'm looking forward to going through
29:58this crazy experience together
30:00and hopefully coming out on the other side
30:02with a best friend,
30:04a partner in crime and someone who
30:06will have my back as much as I'll have theirs.
30:08OK, Shannon,
30:10it's your turn now.
30:12I asked for a man
30:14who's going to be my loudest cheerleader
30:16and support
30:18me even on my bad days.
30:20Let's take on this
30:22crazy journey and build a beautiful
30:24relationship together.
30:26Can't promise it's always
30:28going to be smooth, but I promise I'll give it
30:30my all.
30:32Lovely. Ryan,
30:34do you take Shannon to be your
30:36wife, cherishing her
30:38and showing her loyalty no matter
30:40what? I do.
30:46So, Shannon,
30:48you remind me
30:50a lot of my exes.
30:52I'm scared of wanting to run away.
30:54Do you take Ryan
30:56to be your husband,
30:58cherishing
31:00him
31:02and showing loyalty no matter
31:04what?
31:06Right now, I feel like
31:08this is a massive mistake.
31:12Shannon, what are you actually
31:14doing?
31:22I wanna be your endgame,
31:24endgame.
31:26Big reputation,
31:28big reputation.
31:30You and me, we got big
31:32reputations.
31:34You heard about me?
31:36I got some big enemies.
31:38Big reputation,
31:40big reputation.
31:42You and me, we got big conversation.
31:44You heard about me?
31:46I got some big enemies.
31:48Big reputation,
31:50big reputation.
31:52You and me,
31:54we got big conversation.
31:56I heard about you.
31:58You're so dope,
32:00don't overdose.
32:02We do the most.
32:04I got a reputation.
32:06Girl, don't deceive me.
32:08Whenever you need me.
32:10I got a bad boy.
32:12That's what they like.
32:14You're my type.
32:20So,
32:22Shannon,
32:24do you take
32:26Ryan to be your
32:28husband,
32:30cherishing him
32:32and showing
32:34loyalty no matter what?
32:46I do.
32:50I do.
32:52I'm delighted
32:54to say you are husband
32:56and wife.
32:58It is, of course, time to seal the deal
33:00with your very first kiss.
33:04It's a bit awkward, isn't it?
33:10Family and friends, it's with great pleasure
33:12that I invite you to welcome
33:14Ryan and Shannon as they
33:16take their first steps as a newly
33:18joined couple.
33:20He's very clean cut.
33:22If I met him in a bar, I would literally walk
33:24in the opposite direction.
33:26He just looks like a player.
33:30Question mark.
33:34I'm happy, of course.
33:36Shannon is fit, of course she is.
33:38But I'm worried Shannon doesn't
33:40like me.
33:42Like, I can't call her.
33:48I'm super proud
33:50of myself, of how I've managed
33:52things. I've mentally prepared myself
33:54but not the perfect man at the end of the aisle.
33:56Wasn't expecting my husband to say
33:58I'm not attracted to
34:00curvy girls. I've always gone for skinny girls
34:02and that's what I'm sexually attracted to on my
34:04first night of the honeymoon.
34:06It's now such a big issue for me
34:08where I think he still doesn't
34:10find me attractive. You can't force that.
34:12Like, it is what it is. But it's just
34:14showing willing to, like,
34:16getting to know you.
34:18You're, I'm biased, but like, you're
34:20fab. You're a great person.
34:22It just seems like he's kind of like,
34:24I don't fancy her so I'm not going to try.
34:26That is how it's coming across.
34:30For us, for your friends at the wedding,
34:32we all said she was ticking
34:34a lot of boxes. I think we were all very positive
34:36about it because it looked
34:38pretty good on paper.
34:40I hope both sides will be saying,
34:42actually, there's a friendship there
34:44that I think you guys could at least build on.
34:46We're not going to sit here and say,
34:48oh my God, Emma, like, put more into it
34:50because you're obviously doing everything you can.
34:52At the end of the day, he's here.
34:54He could have run away from it.
34:56He's stayed. He's
34:58faced me and Lee
35:00after everything that's gone on.
35:02I don't think Emma seems that happy as
35:04things currently stand. I think they've got a lot of work
35:06to do and a lot of bonding.
35:08But they're both still here, so
35:10they're committed to see if they can make it work.
35:12We're fighting for it.
35:14My attraction for Emma has grown
35:16because there have been moments
35:18that I've thought about kissing her.
35:20But right now, is it ever
35:22going to grow to something where I'm head
35:24over heels in love? With what I know
35:26and what I've seen, I don't know.
35:28But I'm going to keep working at it.
35:30The road ahead isn't great
35:32in my head, and that's me being a realist.
35:34So, I don't
35:36know whether to write Leave this week.
35:38OK. If you were in my shoes,
35:40what would you do? I would say,
35:42right now, I don't think he's the man for you.
35:44Yeah, I've got
35:46to be honest. I don't think it's forever.
35:50The girls' opinions are really important to me.
35:52There's not that much more I
35:54can do. If Casper
35:56steps up, treats me like a
35:58proper wife, and we start having a laugh
36:00and there might be a glimmer of hope,
36:02I think I need a night to sleep
36:04on it and process it.
36:10Hi.
36:12Hello. Are you OK? Congratulations, guys.
36:14Let's get you some wedding photos, shall we?
36:16Great, great.
36:18And just look in this way.
36:22Lovely.
36:24Right. Put your arm around
36:26your wife.
36:28There you go.
36:30Now you look like you're a married
36:32couple. Beautiful.
36:34Just look at each other for me there, please.
36:36Guys,
36:38can I get a kiss from there?
36:42It's looking really lovely.
36:44I think being so close to somebody
36:46that you've literally just met is very intense.
36:48Could I get one more kiss
36:50from there, if that's OK?
36:52That's all now.
36:54I think Shannon's got her guard up. Getting a rejection
36:56at the first hurdle, it makes it
36:58harder.
37:00What do you do for work? I'm a makeup artist.
37:02Oh, yeah? OK, OK. How long have you done that for?
37:04Like, ten years.
37:06Where are you from?
37:08Manchester. What about you? Glasgow.
37:12How long have you always lived in Manchester?
37:14All my life. Looking gorgeous, guys.
37:16What do you do? I'm a bin man.
37:18Are you really? Yeah.
37:20I'm interested.
37:22Ryan's a bin man.
37:24I've never dated anybody that does anything like that.
37:26Do you like it? Yeah, I love it.
37:28The hours are good. Probably finish the work at, what,
37:30half twelve every day.
37:32Got a lot of time on my hands.
37:34Equals to your family.
37:36Are you? Oh, like, so close.
37:38So close.
37:40Have you got any kids? No. Do you?
37:42Got a little boy. Do you?
37:44How old is he? Six.
37:46That's OK, what's his name? Leo. Aww.
37:50Step mum.
37:52I find out Ryan has a son.
37:54I like a guy
37:56that's got some responsibilities.
37:58I'm starting to realise
38:00he might be more emotionally mature than I thought.
38:04Yay!
38:06CHEERING
38:12Are you OK?
38:14Grab a seat, guys.
38:16Come on.
38:18How are you feeling, Ryan?
38:20This is mad.
38:24But you did get yourself into it.
38:28It does feel a little bit awkward just now.
38:30I think just because we've not got the chemistry,
38:32it just feels a wee bit strange
38:34and a wee bit forced.
38:38So what did you ask to see at the end of the aisle?
38:42I'm not going to lie.
38:46I was expecting something different.
38:48OK.
38:50Fair play.
38:54Don't judge a book by its cover.
38:56This is just the start.
38:58If she didn't fancy me at the start,
39:00it would be difficult then.
39:02What did you expect at the end of the aisle?
39:04To be honest, I go for dark hair,
39:06green or blue eyes,
39:08nice teeth is a must.
39:10So I was all right.
39:16I feel bad now.
39:18I maybe have been a bit hasty
39:20in judging Ryan.
39:22I've just been hurt so many times in the past
39:24that my walls just went right back up.
39:26But I am going to keep an open mind,
39:28see where things go.
39:36What are you thinking, then?
39:38She's a hard judge of character.
39:40Yeah.
39:42I get off the bat straight away that she's down to earth.
39:44Yeah.
39:46The only thing I was worried about was whether she'd fancied me.
39:48So I feel, attraction-wise,
39:50what Ryan was asking for, I think he's got.
39:52By the sound of it, Shannon's got something
39:54a little bit different.
39:56Sort of where her head's at with it all.
39:58Sort of what her intentions are.
40:00Going off first impression.
40:02I definitely think she fancied me.
40:06I don't.
40:20You're close to your parents, are you?
40:22You should be though, innit? That's the way it is.
40:24Are your mum and your dad?
40:26My dad's dead.
40:28Oh, did he pass away?
40:30No.
40:32How did he pass away?
40:34Cancer.
40:36Oh, your dad had cancer? Yeah, lung cancer.
40:38Oh, really?
40:40Of course it is. Her dad passed away.
40:42I didn't expect her dad to have gone through
40:44what he'd gone through.
40:46Your dad, when he passed away, how were you dealing with that?
40:48It was rough.
40:50But, like, I think I kind of dealt with it before.
40:52What's happening?
40:54Obviously, I can see it means a lot to her.
40:56And, obviously, I'll support her
40:58through that, and you never get over that.
41:04Um...
41:06I had cancer in the past.
41:08Have you?
41:10Shut up.
41:12So, yeah, um...
41:14When did you have cancer?
41:162017. I've had it twice.
41:18Like, chemo.
41:22It was a bit of a shock
41:24hearing that he's been through something like that.
41:26So young.
41:28That's such a big thing to deal with.
41:30What kind? I had bladder cancer.
41:32Holy shit.
41:34That's fucking intense.
41:36Are you fine now?
41:38Yeah, of course.
41:40I mean, there's bigger things in the world.
41:42Just enjoy it.
41:48It's really nice that he's opened up to me
41:50because I've been through
41:52similar things with my dad.
41:54And we've just been really open
41:56with each other about it, which I think shows a lot about a person.
41:58There is emotional
42:00depths to him that have surprised me.
42:02Now we've been speaking
42:04and getting on, I feel like we are
42:06a good match.
42:08It's starting to make sense.
42:12Right, come on, then.
42:14Now tell me. Now they've gone.
42:16Give me the gossip.
42:18Sasha and Ross have been spending time
42:20with Sasha's parents.
42:22I'm absolutely smitten.
42:24Really? Yeah.
42:26Yeah, I didn't expect to feel
42:28like this so soon about
42:30someone, but we're pretty much
42:32deep in it.
42:34I can tell.
42:36Like, I feel really safe
42:38with him, but not even just
42:40physically safe, like emotionally
42:42safe. Yeah, you can tell.
42:44He's really happy.
42:46I wonder where Ross is getting on training
42:48with Dad. I don't think he's ready for the intensity.
42:54What's training on? Biceps.
42:56Arms.
42:58At the moment, Ross, I don't see him too bad
43:00as a son-in-law, but time will tell.
43:02Training Ross today.
43:04I want to see what kind of man he is, basically.
43:06Come on, everybody.
43:08Not too fast.
43:10Not too fast. Don't drop back.
43:12Come on.
43:14Yes, that's better.
43:16And again.
43:18Squeeze. Hold the negative, hold the
43:20negative.
43:22Slow and blow it up.
43:24Squeeze it up.
43:28Obviously, I want today to go well.
43:30She's very close to her dad,
43:32but it's very important.
43:34I'm hoping that I did good in front of him,
43:36me and him.
43:38I can be strong for Sasha.
43:40Come on. One more.
43:42Again. No, no, no. More, more.
43:44One.
43:46Come on.
43:48Last one, last one. Come on, Ross.
43:50Squeeze, man.
43:52Yeah, ten negatives.
43:54Ross, Ross. Fucking killing me.
43:56Oh, man.
44:00Because it's going so
44:02well and everything's perfect,
44:04to be honest,
44:06I do always think
44:08of the worst, and I'm like,
44:10what would I do if I lost him?
44:12Do you know
44:14what I mean? Yeah. There's that scary thought
44:16of, like, I would never
44:18recover from that.
44:20Wow. I'd never find anyone
44:22like him again.
44:24So that's a big deal.
44:26Yeah, that is. It's scary.
44:32What do you want, like,
44:34with Sasha? Like, what's your plan?
44:36I came here for one thing,
44:38and, basically,
44:40I found it.
44:42And when I first
44:44turned round, I just knew she was going to be
44:46the one.
44:48I feel I've known her for years.
44:50And communication we have
44:52is fantastic.
44:54And she makes me happy.
44:56And you like being together, like,
44:58sort of thing? 100%.
45:00And this is what I wanted to say to you.
45:02She's not very close
45:04with Sasha, and I have a daughter.
45:06And I know what it feels like.
45:08From man to man.
45:12I will do whatever
45:14to make her happy. I will protect her.
45:16I will look after her.
45:18And I will respect her.
45:20Yeah, yeah.
45:22She's not very close with Sasha,
45:24and I have a daughter.
45:26And I know what it feels like.
45:28From man to man.
45:30I will do whatever
45:32to make her happy.
45:34I will protect her.
45:36I will look after her.
45:38And I will respect her.
45:40Yeah, yeah.
45:42She's not very close with Sasha,
45:44and I have a daughter.
45:46And I know what it feels like.
45:48From man to man.
45:50And I will respect her.
45:58That's all I want.
46:00That's good, man.
46:02That's all I want from Sasha,
46:04you know what I mean?
46:06That's a good thing.
46:08Yeah, happy day.
46:10I was going to ask you that anyway,
46:12so you've already said it, which is even better.
46:14I know you've got my blessing.
46:16I love that, man.
46:18That means a lot.
46:34He's nice, isn't he?
46:36He's actually so similar in a lot of ways.
46:38He's a real family man as well,
46:40and you're a really family girl.
46:42I think going through that
46:44makes you more sensitive
46:46to people's feelings.
46:48I think just listening to Ryan,
46:50you'll understand emotionally.
46:52He's been through a lot of blessing, hasn't he?
46:54Yeah.
46:56It has made me feel
46:58a lot more at ease.
47:00He really opened up to me
47:02and showed me a different side to what I was already seeing.
47:04So I think that's
47:06brought my guard down a little bit
47:08and made me open up a little bit more to him.
47:10I think I judged him
47:12a wee bit too quickly,
47:14but now that we know each other,
47:16I'm feeling a lot better about things.
47:18Maybe he's done it.
47:20He's tracked it.
47:32I'm holding back
47:34because if she didn't like me,
47:36it'd be hard to accept it.
47:38I hope Ryan and Shannon's feelings are the same
47:40and only time will tell.
47:44Ugh.
47:46Yeah, I feel like it's been good vibes today.
47:48Like, this is what I was wanting.
47:50I'm feeling good.
47:52Is that what you're sure about, yeah?
47:54When I turned around, I was like,
47:56OK, she's ticking boxes, they've got that.
47:58But what about you?
48:00What about when I turned around?
48:02I was taking her back a wee bit.
48:04I immediately thought, pretty boy.
48:06I think it was just it wasn't what I was expecting.
48:08In a good way or a bad way?
48:10In a good way.
48:12Obviously, you're very handsome.
48:14I am attracted to you.
48:16I think it's a good thing.
48:18I've put a lot of faith into it,
48:20I'm not going to lie.
48:22Like, I want it to work out.
48:24Like, truly want it to work out.
48:26Like, all my past relationships have been hit loose.
48:28And I feel like if it doesn't work out,
48:30I'm just going to
48:32probably be single
48:34for a very, very, very long time.
48:36What about you?
48:38I am, like you say,
48:40I've been single a long time and it's not worked out,
48:42so I decided, right, let's do it back to front.
48:44Yeah.
48:46You're in for a rough ride.
48:48A rough ride?
48:50Like, I will put you through your paces.
48:52Definitely.
48:54I'm happy, like, are you happy?
48:56I am.
48:58Are you ready for a ride?
49:00I am.
49:02I think me and Shannon have been matched for a reason.
49:04At the start of the day, we definitely want us comfortable,
49:06as we are now.
49:08I think I might have judged
49:10a wee bit too early,
49:12and my headspace has totally changed.
49:14I do fancy him.
49:16I am attracted to him,
49:18and he seems lovely.
49:20Feeling happy, positive,
49:22buzzing to go on honeymoon now.
49:24I feel like we're going to have a really good time together.
49:26Next time...
49:28Thanks for having me over.
49:30It's the final visit of In-Laws Week...
49:32I'll be honest, I was pissed off at the wedding.
49:34...where Adam's actually married.
49:36I was pissed off at the wedding.
49:38Where Adam's actions are put under scrutiny.
49:40She gets married, and then this guy's like,
49:42yeah, she's not really my type.
49:44That did upset me.
49:48And the newlyweds head off on honeymoon.
49:50That's it.
49:52Oh, yeah.
49:54For some...
49:56I didn't think I was going to get this comfortable this fast.
49:58It's a smooth start to married life.
50:00Love, marriage and happiness.
50:02Absolute dream honeymoon.
50:04But for Hannah and Stephen...
50:06Hannah's opinion is the only opinion that's allowed.
50:08Bullshit. I'm out of my fucking comfort zone here, pal.
50:10Things take a turn for the worse.
50:12Don't make promises to people that you can't keep.
50:14Because I'd have stayed at fucking home.
50:16All right, we're done then.
50:18Happy? Does that make you feel better?
50:20Leaving their marriage hanging by a thread.
50:22You're trash shit, mate.
50:24Goodnight.
