00:00You better do this on Amy!
00:02Previously...
00:03Amy is stiff as a scaffold board.
00:05..Partner Swap Week revealed shocking secrets...
00:08I felt envious my girl wouldn't dance with me like that.
00:12It was a bit of a dick towards Amy.
00:14..and gave some a taste of how the other half lives.
00:18Pulling out all socks for me.
00:19Adam is giving me pure princess treatment.
00:22..while Adam's planned to bring fun into the bedroom...
00:25Candy bar and knickers.
00:26Little nibble.
00:27That's quite good, actually.
00:28..massively backfired.
00:30What do you think?
00:31You're buying lingerie with Amy.
00:33It does feel like we've gone from 0 to 100.
00:36It's so confusing, like, my head is...
00:38I've come out of my comfort zone.
00:40It's just not enough for her.
00:41Sorry.
00:44I don't know what he wants.
00:45..but it was Kieran's candid confession...
00:48You and me ex-partner, it's actually scary how similar yous are.
00:51..that drove Christina to despair.
00:53I am fuming.
00:57I'm not his ex.
00:59What the...
01:03..tonight...
01:04Here's the man treating my wife like a princess.
01:07..revelations from partner swap week...
01:09You know that picture?
01:10He said that he was actually a little bit envious.
01:13Him saying he wants me to be like you is...
01:16..bullshit.
01:18..send Amy and Luke into a downward spiral...
01:21I just feel like a...idiot.
01:24..that only intensifies...
01:26You care more about other people's business than your own marriage.
01:29Wait.
01:30..when a not-so-anonymous letter brings fresh accusations.
01:34I feel like I'm a different person with different people.
01:36What do you want her for?
01:37To kiss whoever's arse is convenient at the time.
01:40This is a personal attack.
01:42..but it's Christina and Kieran's marriage...
01:44I'm risking losing one of the best women that I could ever wish for,
01:48and that's one of the hardest things to admit to myself.
01:50..that deals the biggest blow of the evening.
01:52Is this a friendship?
01:54Or is this more?
02:05SHE GASPS
02:06Oh!
02:07There's bloody butter coffee on the back!
02:10What have I always got to do it?
02:12After spending partner swap week apart...
02:15There's your tea, babe.
02:17See you when it's coming up.
02:19..the couples have woken up back in their own apartments.
02:22I'm really bad at living with people, usually,
02:25but for some reason, I'm all right with you.
02:27Oh!
02:28Yeah, it's weird.
02:30SHE LAUGHS
02:36Waking up with Luke after partner swap week with Adam,
02:39Adam literally trekked me like an absolute queen,
02:42so it's definitely made me realise
02:45that Luke does need to pull his finger out a little bit more.
02:49Adam shows affirmations with his actions.
02:52OK.
02:53He made me my favourite breakfast. Oh, nice.
02:55He trekked me like a little princess.
02:57SHE LAUGHS
02:58It's a bit, kind of, rub it in your face a little bit.
03:01All the stuff that you don't get with me, you're getting with Adam.
03:04It hurts, not going to lie.
03:07Following partner swap,
03:09this morning I'm going to just keep it, you know, nice and fun,
03:13light-hearted, put a pinny on, make her a coffee,
03:16and hopefully that will, kind of, you know, break the ice a bit more.
03:23A bit more of it.
03:24Oh, my God, what the hell is going on?
03:26Why is he bollocked naked?
03:28I don't know.
03:29Wow, you've even made me a coffee. Yeah. This is new.
03:32I missed you.
03:36Are you stacking up your game? Yeah, I have to.
03:41Luke's trying to do something really cheeky and fun,
03:44but this definitely isn't my idea of princess treatment.
03:48Put your pants back on.
03:50You know, I was a bit butthurt when you said about, you know,
03:53Adam treating you like a princess, so I thought I need to step up sometimes.
03:57You definitely do. Yeah.
03:59I don't want you to just change because you feel like...
04:02I know. ..Adam's competition.
04:04I want you to make me coffees because...
04:06Because I want to.
04:10So, did you go shopping with Lacey for the apron?
04:13No. Or did you bring it from home? I brought it from home.
04:16Oh. I've done this sort of stuff before, yeah, a couple of times.
04:20I thought you told me you'd only ever wore pants and shirtless.
04:24Mostly, yeah. I've done a couple.
04:26I think I did a couple of hem parties.
04:29You told me you wear jeans and you've never had your bum out or anything,
04:32so I'm just... I can't stop thinking about that now.
04:34Oh, God.
04:36Luke told me he's never done topless weight room with his bum cheeks out.
04:39I've always asked him, like, do you not have to be naked?
04:42He's always 100% told me no.
04:44I'm just a little bit confused, if I'm honest.
04:47I don't remember lying about not doing it before.
04:50He 100% did.
04:52Multiple times told me you've never had your cheeks out.
04:55He was like, I work in nightclubs.
04:57And that's two. I'm always topless with jeans.
05:00Lies, to me, are just an absolute no-go.
05:04White lies, big lies.
05:06If you can lie about something so small,
05:08then you can lie about anything.
05:11Hopefully nothing else comes back to bite you on the arse.
05:15Talking of the arse, it's a bit cold here.
05:17It's a bit nippy down here.
05:24Hello. Hello.
05:26You all right?
05:29I left things on a bad note yesterday,
05:31so I thought I'd better come over and make peace.
05:34Me and Christina slept separately last night,
05:37so we both woke up on my own.
05:40How are you? I'm all right. You OK?
05:43Like, it was shit yesterday.
05:46It wasn't how I wanted it to go.
05:49My patience is literally there.
05:53Same for me, though.
05:55I'm just as frustrated as you. Mm-hm.
05:58And it's crap.
06:00I've done everything that you have asked from me.
06:04I'm not a puppet.
06:06Me and Kieran, we care about each other.
06:08I'm going to cry.
06:13We love each other as people,
06:15but the dots just aren't connecting at the moment.
06:25I don't like falling out with you,
06:27and I know you don't like falling out with me.
06:29And I think we just need to draw a line
06:31under what happened yesterday and just keep that moving forward.
06:34Mm-hm.
06:35I'm feeling guilty because it's hard
06:37when someone's very clear how they feel about you,
06:40and you're turning around and being like,
06:42well, I honestly don't know if this is more of a friendship
06:45than it is a marriage.
06:47It's a really awful position to put Christina in.
06:59Waking up this morning, me and Polly aren't in the best place.
07:02We had an argument last night about the gifts that I bought her,
07:05and she didn't take it very well.
07:09Shall we have a chat about it last night? Yeah.
07:12So, obviously, with the whole lingerie stuff and that,
07:15for me, it was a bit of a kick in the teeth.
07:18The plan was just to kind of, like, make it more fun
07:21and just be funny about it, you know what I mean,
07:23and take the pressure off it, and it did the complete opposite.
07:28You've always said to me that I care about your feelings,
07:30I don't want to do anything to make you unsure
07:32about how I feel about you,
07:34when you are fucking with my head massively.
07:37Because you're not doing anything to show that you feel that way about me.
07:40So that's so confusing.
07:42What am I doing? Because I'm literally treating you perfectly.
07:45I'll always make you tea in the morning, make you breakfast,
07:47run you a bath. I've literally treated you like a princess.
07:50It's just physical, do you know what I mean?
07:52Like, you never come over and kiss me on the cheek,
07:54and you never come over and give me a cuddle.
07:56I've been 100% honest from the start.
07:58The attraction's not there, I'm trying to build the attraction,
08:00and you're sitting there and going, but your actions don't match up.
08:03I'm just not kissing you more and having sex.
08:07But it's not... That's the only thing you're missing.
08:09I don't feel like you want me in any way,
08:11because you don't show me anything.
08:13You don't get it, you don't get it. It's all about you.
08:16I feel like Adam saying that he feels pressured
08:19and he feels like he's got to do all the work is new.
08:22I didn't think it was such a problem in our relationship,
08:25but nothing's going to change if it's not voiced.
08:28Our whole journey has been about Adam needs to change,
08:31Adam needs to be romantic.
08:33It hasn't been, oh, let's leave Adam to try and build an attraction
08:37so he can build on it with the foundations we've got.
08:39It's just always been about you.
08:41I know you care about me and you like me,
08:43but your feeling's over everyone's.
08:45You would fuck the whole world over if it saved you.
08:47What about what I want and what I need?
08:49I wanted no pressure.
08:51Who the hell puts pressure in a relationship?
08:53That's bollocks. I don't ever make you feel like that.
08:56I don't speak to you about it enough for you to say to me
08:59that there's pressure from me, because there's not.
09:01And I've put you first through this whole time.
09:04You've put yourself first.
09:06Never once has it been about me.
09:09I am really surprised that he said that I don't ask him how he feels,
09:13and it makes me feel quite shit knowing that.
09:15He feels I haven't been thinking of him as much as I should have been.
09:18It has definitely shocked me a little bit.
09:21Is that the door?
09:24Oh, for God's sake.
09:26Oh, fuck off. Is it an envelope?
09:28Yeah.
09:31Maybe he likes you.
09:33This week, we are setting you a task that will help you
09:35to evaluate your own relationship
09:37and help the other couples in the group.
09:39We'd like you to write a letter to one of the other couples
09:41expressing your views on the relationship
09:43and how you think it could improve.
09:45The couple you will be writing to are Amy.
09:48Hi, Luke. Yeah!
09:50Polly and Adam.
09:51Kieran and Christina.
09:52Ross and Sasha.
09:55To allow you to speak freely, the letter will be an ominous.
09:58That is the best letter I've had. Yeah!
10:03Sometimes Polly needs to just stop
10:06and, like, listen to Adam a little bit more,
10:08cos they always think they're both right and they're clashing.
10:11That is so general, like, that could be about anybody.
10:14That's not specific to them.
10:16I think Luke doesn't focus on his relationship enough.
10:19He focuses on the attention he can get by getting involved in drama.
10:23This is really, really hard.
10:25It's harder than I thought it was going to be. Yeah, this is difficult.
10:28It's a very honest letter, isn't it? Yeah, there are no lies here.
10:31Fake. Not genuine.
10:33Attention seeker. Too sexual.
10:36I feel like there's going to be a bit of drama tonight,
10:39I'm not going to lie. Mm-hm.
10:47How do you think Luke will react to the letter?
10:51I don't think he's going to like being called fake.
10:54So how do you feel walking in together as a united front?
10:58I just think every time we have a massive argument,
11:00then we walk in and pretend everything's perfect when...
11:03We're not pretending that everything's fine.
11:05We get into the retreat and it looks really bad.
11:07It's just going to look weird if you don't.
11:10Well, here we are. It's the penultimate dinner party
11:13and, of course, we only have five couples left,
11:16so it's going to be quite an intimate affair tonight, I think.
11:19Of course, this is on the back of partner swap week,
11:21so it'll be interesting to see what they've learned
11:23about their own relationships after spending time with another partner.
11:27And, of course, we've given them the very special opportunity
11:30to get to know each other.
11:32I think it's going to be a great night.
11:34I think it's going to be a great night.
11:37And, of course, we've given them the very special task
11:39of writing anonymous letters
11:41so that each couple will get an outside perspective on their marriage.
11:45This should be fascinating to watch.
11:47Yes.
11:49Ooh, first in.
11:51First in, second time first in.
11:53This is actually the first time
11:55that we've seen Adam and Polly enter the room not touching.
11:59And that's wild to see because the last time we saw them,
12:02they were in a great place.
12:04It'll be interesting to see how Amy went back to Luke
12:07and how Luke was.
12:09Yeah, definitely.
12:10I think after the way I was treating her
12:12with all the tea in the morning and the breakfast,
12:14I think if Luke hadn't stepped it up,
12:16I don't think she'll be happy.
12:21Hello.
12:23How are you? You look stunning.
12:25So do you.
12:27These two look good together. Oh, they do?
12:29I can say they genuinely look good together.
12:31Yeah.
12:32Here's the man treating my wife like a princess.
12:34I've got a lot to learn from you, mate.
12:36I can teach you, I can teach you.
12:38You chill out.
12:40Thank you, darling.
12:42How have you two been since coming back together again?
12:46Not great. OK.
12:48We've not had the best couple of days.
12:50Yeah.
12:52Had a couple of arguments.
12:54I just felt like I had weeks and weeks of emotions and feelings
12:57that I was putting to the side just to make sure Polly's OK
13:00and it just got too much.
13:02I just said everything that I'd been feeling.
13:04Honesty is the best policy, my darlings.
13:06We've learnt that this morning, haven't we?
13:08What happened this morning?
13:10Luke was in the kitchen making me a coffee.
13:13Was he? Well done, Luke. Living up to you.
13:16And he had no clothes on.
13:18She said she likes me naked.
13:20He had a little apron on. It's like being cute,
13:22but me and Luke have discussed previously
13:25that in his other job, which he called his nightclub job,
13:28he's always done it in pants.
13:30Right. So if you've not done it before, where's it come from, my love?
13:33He admitted that he has. Right.
13:35It was meant to be, like, a nice, thoughtful thing,
13:37but I just couldn't see through.
13:39Yeah, of course.
13:41One of Amy's values is honesty in a relationship.
13:45So although Luke doesn't think that it's a big deal,
13:48it kind of seems like, actually, this is really annoying for Amy.
13:54Hello! Hello!
13:56Oh, well, that's the coldest welcome I've ever had.
13:59Woo-hoo! Woo!
14:01So, clearly, Ross and Sasha have made up.
14:04We know that they weren't in the best place
14:06at the last commitment ceremony,
14:08but it's really good to see that they've come in high energy
14:11and hopefully in a good place.
14:13How have you been, boy? I'm good.
14:15How was your week? Very nice.
14:17The swap was very nice. Oh, a swap? Yeah.
14:19Who did you guys swap with? Kieran and Christina?
14:22Yeah.
14:31No, it went down like a lead balloon. Oh.
14:33Yeah, so we just thought, if we can get them, like, to be friends again
14:36and remember, like, at the start, where it was all very light-hearted
14:39and they just enjoyed each other's company,
14:41but it just went to shit.
14:43The whole rest of the day was just awful.
14:46Oh, shit!
14:49Sounds like Kieran and Christina are not going well
14:52and have maybe not started to repair things at all.
14:55Hello! Hello!
14:57Wake of the devil! Are they holding hands?
14:59Yay!
15:00Well, it's such a relief to see Christina and Kieran
15:02coming in with so much energy.
15:04How are we? Hello!
15:07But the sad thing is that we know that they're not in a good place,
15:10according to what Sasha has said.
15:12I wasn't expecting them to walk in holding hands.
15:15My crazy golf worked out after all. Yeah.
15:18Where's everybody sat?
15:21What's the crack? What's going on?
15:23We'd literally just heard about mini-golf.
15:25Oh, yeah, let's not.
15:28For me, my frustration was just too high with that boy.
15:32After that, we sat down and we had another one of our chats.
15:37I can really see the potential with him,
15:40so I feel like I'm in a bit of a difficult position.
15:43It's like you're waiting for the penny to drop, for him to be like...
15:46Yeah. Oh, my God, Steena, I love you! Yeah.
15:49I said to him, like, am I worthy of you?
15:53And Kieran was like, you're more than enough for me.
15:59You can see how much you both love each other. Yeah, we do.
16:02The amount of respect and care that you've had for each other
16:04coming through this as well. I know.
16:06You have to be strong enough to know the difference,
16:09to say, is this worth fighting for,
16:11or do I just love you as much as I love my best friend at home?
16:13Yeah, quite literally.
16:14And that's the decision that you've got to make.
16:18It is sad to hear that Christina is doubting herself,
16:21but good on Kieran for stepping up
16:23and reassuring her that she is good enough.
16:25You can see, though, why Christina is confused.
16:28There was a point where Kieran was really interested in her
16:31and was really attracted to her physically,
16:33so the question is, well, what's gone wrong?
16:37How are you and Christina now?
16:39My head is all over the place at the moment. Yeah.
16:43But I care about that girl more than she realises, I think.
16:46I've never met a girl like her in me life, you know.
16:49I wish I'd partnered up with you, mate!
16:53It is very natural at this stage of the experiment
16:56for couples to start thinking about what's next,
16:59and I think Kieran's starting to do that.
17:01He's starting to look at Christina and ask himself the question,
17:04will she fit into my world?
17:06And I think that's causing further confusion for him too.
17:14Yay!
17:16Lacey!
17:18Oh, Lacey and Nathan, very much the couple dressing tonight.
17:21Yes.
17:22So I'm desperate to hear about your partner swap.
17:25So obviously I have the lovely Luke.
17:28I did want him at first, and he knows that,
17:30but I told him what's what as soon as I saw him
17:34and he was saying, I'm sorry. Good.
17:36Me and Luke went dancing, and he wore heels,
17:39and he was fucking loving it.
17:41He was a bit more sassier than me.
17:43I said, keep it PG, keep it classy.
17:45Yeah.
17:46Were they dirty dancing? No, it was like...
17:49Was it close?
17:51Sometimes, yeah.
17:52Did you touch him?
17:53No touching.
17:55In my mind.
18:00That's shaggy shit!
18:03How did he treat you?
18:05Did he make you coffees and breakfast?
18:07Yes. Yeah?
18:09So better than you?
18:11He went to the gym, left me a note,
18:14good morning, classy girl.
18:16I'll be back at half ten to make you breakfast.
18:18Does he not do that with you?
18:20No.
18:22So he's put on his best performance for you?
18:24Yeah.
18:27Finding out that Luke's trapped Lacey better than he treats me,
18:30is just a massive shock to the system.
18:33He literally pulled out all stops to make her feel special
18:36when he doesn't do that for me.
18:38He made her a coffee in the morning, made her breakfast.
18:41If he's doing that for Lacey, why is he not doing it for me?
18:46The thing that made me think is Adam was treating me like a queen,
18:49and he said to me, Amy, I literally am not doing anything for you
18:52that I don't do for Polly. Yeah.
18:54And it made me think, I can't wait to ask Lacey...
18:57Yeah, me neither. ..what Luke's done for Lacey.
18:59Another thing, you know that picture of me and Adam?
19:03Mm.
19:04He said that he was actually a little bit envious, deep down.
19:13He wanted a partner like that.
19:16Sorry. Sorry, one second.
19:18That's contradicting himself massively.
19:21So, at the beginning, you wasn't classy,
19:24and he was proud of me for being classy,
19:26but now he wants me to be more like you because I'm too classy.
19:29Yeah.
19:30Amy's, of course, referring to the photo that was taken
19:32between Lacey and Adam when they were salsa dancing,
19:35and Luke described that initially as not being classy.
19:38And the fact that Amy sees that Luke likes the way that Lacey acts
19:43is confusing to Amy. Absolutely.
19:47That comment about him being envious
19:52because he wants me to be like you,
19:55is fucking bullshit.
20:03Hello, baby.
20:04Hello, baby.
20:23Where are we sitting?
20:25Shall we follow Darby? Oh, here we are.
20:28Let's see.
20:31Thank you, darling.
20:34I'm not going to range up the deer cos your dress will fall off.
20:39It's like a family Christmas dinner, isn't it?
20:48I must say, Christine, you look fit.
20:50Salty potato. Thanks, babe.
20:52Salted potato? Salty potato.
20:54You look like a salted potato.
20:56Not salted, salty.
21:00I've got lipstick everywhere.
21:06Why are you in such a good mood?
21:16Oh. Oh.
21:17Not because of me?
21:24Oh.
21:25I'd enjoy a bag of goodies going down.
21:28Not that well.
21:30Fill me in.
21:31That, for me, was just a bit of a shock,
21:33cos I was like, well, it's just mixed signals.
21:36Like, you've unintentionally made me feel like shit,
21:38cos I said what you say and what you do
21:40are two completely different things,
21:42and then we had a big bust-up in the evening that carried on.
21:46It was just rough, but I feel like there was a lot of feelings
21:49from Adam over the last three weeks that were not voiced,
21:53that he kind of all laid out on the table.
21:56Do you feel better for getting it off your chest?
21:58The thing is, I voiced a lot to you when it was just me and you.
22:02It's not like I've kept everything to myself.
22:04Like, from the first week, I was like,
22:06didn't like talking about intimacy, it made me feel uncomfortable.
22:09So I have always aired it, I just haven't said it on the sofa.
22:12Then it just got too much,
22:14I just got really, really frustrated and upset,
22:18which isn't nice, but you've brought that on yourself.
22:22Hopefully you can both come down to the level now.
22:24Yeah, now it's been aired, hopefully we can just learn from it
22:27and again just continue going forward.
22:30You just need to cheer up.
22:32Stop being a mad arse.
22:34You'd know if I was being mad, eh?
22:37Tension is thick between these two.
22:40You could see that Adam is utterly confused.
22:43He's now doing everything that he thought Polly wanted,
22:46and as a result of doing that,
22:48she's now saying, no, it's not what I wanted, it's not enough,
22:52and he still can't win.
22:54How was it when you got home?
22:56It was really good, wasn't it?
22:58Did you treat Lacey any different than you treat Amy?
23:02Um... A little bit, I heard.
23:05What? Well, I treated them different, yeah,
23:08cos they're different people, but...
23:10Right.
23:12Do you know what I mean?
23:14Do you feel like you got treated differently
23:16by Ed than you do with Luke?
23:18Yeah, I said that to you, didn't I?
23:20Like, in what ways?
23:22He got up before me, he made me a coffee, he made me breakfast.
23:26But I told you that, didn't I?
23:28I said that, like, Adam treated me like a princess.
23:30I texted you that.
23:32Yeah, but I'm a little bit concerned,
23:34because, obviously, he treated me so well.
23:36You did. You treated me really good, so, you know...
23:39Why don't you do that for me? Yeah.
23:42Oh, did I treat you well today?
23:44Yeah, but, like, this morning, the cameras came on
23:48and it was you making me a coffee,
23:50and I was like, this just doesn't happen, like...
23:52Cos I can't say anything.
23:54You know, the time we spent together, he was...
23:56He was great. Mm.
23:58You've looked after Lacey like a princess.
24:01Adam looked after me like a princess.
24:03He looks after Polly more than he looked after me.
24:05So it was just, obviously, a bit, like, confusing for me.
24:10This has got to be so hard for Amy.
24:12I mean, she's essentially describing the way
24:14she would love to be treated by Luke,
24:16but he's doing it to another woman.
24:18It's got to feel very uncomfortable.
24:21You've said to Lacey that comment about her not being classy
24:24because you're envious and you want me to be like that,
24:27which has really pissed me off.
24:31I said I was envious, potentially, of...
24:34It was something that I would have liked in our relationship.
24:38That kind of fiery...
24:40So you wanted me to act with Adam like that?
24:43No, not at all.
24:44That's why it's confused me so much,
24:46saying you're envious and want me to be like that,
24:48when you've been saying to me you appreciate that I'm classy
24:51and then you're saying to somebody else
24:53that you wish I was like that.
24:55I didn't say I wish you were like that.
24:58But you said you were envious.
25:00You were going in about Lacey, saying it's not classy,
25:03she didn't actually want you to be like that.
25:05You were saying it's not classy, she didn't act with integrity.
25:08If you showed your dad this photo, how would your dad feel?
25:11And I said my dad would be happy that I'm having a nice time dancing,
25:15for then you to say to Lacey,
25:17I wish... I'm envious that my wife isn't like you.
25:21I know, but shall I explain myself? Yes.
25:26So, when I saw the picture, that was what I had to react on.
25:31And we saw the pictures and then the videos,
25:33I felt a bit guilty because I saw that it was part of a dance.
25:36You said to me, you said to me, I'm not apologising
25:39because I've not said anything wrong, this is my opinion.
25:42Yes. And my opinion still stands, yes.
25:45I'm referring to the photos in terms of its vibrancy
25:48and the energy it brings, because...
25:51Not because of the photo itself,
25:53because I told you if I had seen you in that photo,
25:55I would have felt a bit...
25:57Yeah, but it wasn't... Guys, can we just squash this photo?
26:00Because this is stupid.
26:03He needs to be called out on what he said,
26:05that he's envious about Lacey, that he wishes that Amy was like that.
26:08It's not about the photo anymore. Oh, well, yeah, no.
26:10It isn't. It's about your bullshit.
26:15You have to understand, I only saw the photo, guys,
26:17I didn't see the movement.
26:19So, for me, my initial reaction... Yeah, but it's nothing to do with that.
26:22It is to do. Why didn't you say to me,
26:24I'm envious that you don't behave that way?
26:26Because I don't envy the behaviour.
26:28What I envied was that zest,
26:31the music, the vibrancy, that bit I envy.
26:34I feel like what he meant by that is that you're envious
26:37in respects of, like, he wishes that you were like Lacey in some respects
26:40by letting your hair down and whatever else.
26:42I do let my hair down, I'm always dancing,
26:44I'm always listening to you, just because I can't fucking dance.
26:47Grab her in the kitchen, then, when the music's on,
26:49and spin her around, mate.
26:51Well, we've tried that, haven't we?
26:53We've tried that.
26:56Luke's been saying to me the whole time
26:58that he's so proud that he's got such a classy wife.
27:01I act with integrity, blowing my trumpet,
27:04saying nice things about me.
27:06That's my face, but...
27:09..they're all lies.
27:11He's basically told Lacey he thinks I'm boring.
27:14100% just absolute bullshit.
27:17Luke, you can see why she's a little bit confused.
27:19No, I see that. I see why you would feel that way.
27:22I just feel like a fucking idiot.
27:29MUSIC STOPS
27:31BELL RINGS
27:34BELL RINGS
27:42Luke, you can see why she's a little bit confused.
27:44No, I see that. I see why you would feel that way.
27:46I just feel like a fucking idiot.
27:50The fact that I'm having to speak to you about this now...
27:54..in front of everyone...
27:56..is awful.
27:59I'm just... I don't want to speak about it anymore,
28:01cos I just need him.
28:04I need time to gather my thoughts.
28:07Luke, in one way, trying to compliment Lacey...
28:11..in the same sentence, is disrespecting his wife, Amy.
28:14Amy feels like he's essentially saying,
28:16you're boring, and for that to come out in this group setting
28:20is really humiliating for her.
28:22I think Luke is saying that what he is attributing
28:25and that what he is attracted to
28:27is someone who is maybe a bit more relaxed.
28:30And what we see with Lacey and Amy
28:32are two different ends of the spectrum.
28:34The problem Luke has is he's often not good at reading the room
28:38or choosing his words carefully enough.
28:41Amy's quite reserved and Lacey's quite fun and quite light.
28:45I think that's what Luke is trying to articulate here.
28:49But he's expressed it in a way that's hurt his wife
28:52and maybe also caused others in the group
28:54to start to see him as a bit two-faced.
28:57Yeah, I sense Amy's starting to feel
28:59she can't depend on the truth of what Luke says.
29:02It's just so rapidly eroding any trust she's ever had for him.
29:08So, how are we, Ames?
29:10There's just been one thing after another
29:12and I've just brushed it under the carpet
29:14and not brought anything up.
29:16Because we're in here, it's fucking hard.
29:19Yeah. Because it's the pressure.
29:21It's the future. It's everything.
29:29Are you OK, though? Yeah, I'm OK.
29:31I genuinely hope that at the end of this,
29:34me and Amy can cheers and say we fucking did it.
29:37Do you know what I mean? Yeah.
29:39All I can do is keep trying my best. That's all I can do.
29:45It's so fucking confusing for me.
29:48Think how I feel. I know.
29:50Literally. What do you personally think?
29:53What can you see between me and Kieran?
29:55I feel like you've still got something.
29:58There is still something there.
30:00I just want him to realise what he's got in front of him. Yeah.
30:04We are more than friends because we've got that electric heat.
30:09There's something and... There's something there.
30:14Kieran!
30:17I looked up to Christine and Kieran from day one.
30:21Obviously, right now, they're in a shit place.
30:24So I followed my tips, cos me and Sassy are so strong right now.
30:29It's my return to them.
30:31So I try my best to solve the problem.
30:35Don't get me wrong, yeah.
30:37It was a wild, whopping thing, yeah.
30:40When I was with Christine and Kieran,
30:43obviously, I could tell she was a bit down.
30:49But then I did ask her, like,
30:52is it missing Kieran?
30:54She went, 100%.
30:56Ross, no, no, no, listen.
30:59I love Christina.
31:01But...
31:03..I have to be honest with meself and with Christina.
31:07You're here for a reason and you've got what it takes.
31:12Ross, Ross, I can't help my brain.
31:15Do you want to know why? Do you want to know why?
31:18Cos she's a fucking warrior.
31:20I know she is. I know that.
31:22But she's still here for you.
31:24Everything is for you.
31:26When I was with her, all she'd think about was you.
31:29Ross, I appreciate what you're saying.
31:31OK. OK.
31:33OK, come on, OK. Love you. Love you.
31:36Give me a kiss.
31:39Fuck off.
31:41I love you.
31:43Honestly.
31:47For me, it's just so beautiful to see two men sitting down together
31:52as equals, talking to each other about a relationship
31:55and their feelings.
31:57And ending it with a kiss.
31:59It's beautiful.
32:04I'm actually really nervous. I've got sweaty hands.
32:06And here we have the anonymous letters.
32:10This is an opportunity for a couple to give another couple
32:14honest, raw, direct feedback without signing their name to it.
32:18So quite often, the gloves are off.
32:23Interesting.
32:26Dear Polly and Adam, we would like to start by saying
32:29we can see how much you have grown, both individually and as a couple.
32:34You both admire and respect each other,
32:37but it seems at times you may overstep each other's boundaries.
32:41Adam has expressed he isn't comfortable discussing bedroom antics publicly.
32:46Polly, you continue to focus on this side of your relationship
32:50and neglect the positive aspects.
32:53We worry that doing so could make Adam feel under pressure
32:57and push him away.
32:59Adam, we know you care deeply for Polly and her feelings,
33:03but in the process, we think you may have neglected your own.
33:07We think it is important you remember each other's boundaries
33:10and do not risk compromising them.
33:13You both have a lot of strengths, especially your banter
33:16and how you bounce off one another.
33:18Focus on those.
33:20Love, question mark.
33:22Aw, that's really cute.
33:24That was nice.
33:26Do you ever feel like Paul's feels the same?
33:29No, no.
33:30It's shit that's obviously come off the back of the two days that we've had,
33:34because obviously Adam has expressed to me
33:38a lot of thoughts and feelings that he's had over the last two or three weeks.
33:43I think the main thing it's saying is that because the whole bedroom antics
33:47hasn't just been a thing that I've been bothered about for the last week,
33:50it's been from the first commitments that I've made.
33:53No, I know. I know.
33:55What's wrong? Which bit do you not like?
33:59It's just made me realise how selfish I've been with your feelings
34:04and I just don't like that.
34:06I don't feel like I've taken your feelings into consideration
34:09and that's been really shit,
34:11because I never, ever wanted to make you feel like that.
34:14And I'm sorry that I have. I'm really sorry that I have.
34:17You've realised it now and you've acknowledged it
34:20and you're going to take it into consideration.
34:22You adore each other, but you show it in different ways.
34:26Yeah, and that's what I feel like I haven't taken into account
34:31is the fact that I've asked for this, that and this
34:34and he's shown me in so many different ways
34:37and I'm like, that's still not good enough.
34:39And I said to him a couple of weeks ago, like, I never...
34:42You're all right.
34:43I never want to make you feel like anything you do isn't good enough.
34:49It kind of seems like here, Polly has really digested what has been said
34:54and actually it's made her quite upset.
34:56I'd like to see, though, that from this, that she can make some changes
35:00and just be a bit mindful about the way she comes across with Adam.
35:04Like king and queen.
35:08Nathan and Lacey, you are both so aesthetically pleasing
35:13and compliment each other well.
35:15You dance a lot, show a healthy amount of PDA,
35:18which shows a very loving connection.
35:21It's very clear you guys support each other and have each other's back.
35:25Please continue to communicate on a deeper level
35:27and don't be afraid to be runnable with one another.
35:31Nathan, don't be afraid to speak what you're feeling.
35:34Lacey needs you to open up more
35:36as she is a very open and emotionally intelligent lady.
35:39We have every bit of faith in your marriage
35:42and can't wait to watch it bloom forever.
35:44Love you so much.
35:45That was lush.
35:46That was lovely.
35:48Forever wrote that, thank you.
35:50I want to know who wrote it now, that's really nice.
35:52Aw, that's nice, isn't it?
35:53Thank you, whoever did that, that was actually nice.
35:55Are you happy with that?
35:57I definitely want to continue the journey after the experiment ends.
36:01Like, you're not the finished product, you're still a work in progress.
36:04It's the start of something beautiful, do you know what I mean?
36:07Yeah, well done, guys.
36:08That was really nice.
36:09Who is this guy?
36:12Last commitment ceremony, Nathan wasn't ready to say, I love you,
36:16but clearly he sees a future and I think he's feeling the emotion.
36:20Yeah.
36:23OK.
36:26Dear Amy and Luke, we hope this letter finds you well.
36:29Firstly, we think we should address
36:31the main problem in your relationship.
36:33We believe this is Luke's desire
36:35to get involved in other people's drama for attention.
36:38Ooh.
36:39We have noticed this makes...
36:41Wait.
36:42We have noticed this makes Amy uncomfortable.
36:45It displays a fake and disingenuous nature
36:48and gives the impression you care more about other people's business
36:52than your own marriage.
36:54We have also witnessed how it gives Amy the ick
36:56when you speak in a sexual manner.
36:58Luke, we would advise you to put Amy before attention,
37:02as this was another concern for her.
37:04Amy, we see the work you are putting in to find a spark,
37:07so we praise you on the effort you are putting in.
37:10Kindest regards. Kiss, kiss, kiss.
37:13Er, we wrote that letter.
37:16It said, be open and honest, so I felt like I was.
37:22Is this both of you or just you?
37:24Oh, both. Oh, both. Yeah, yeah.
37:26I feel like you're a different person with different people.
37:30So when he was talking about the photo at the commitment ceremony,
37:33you called Lacey unclassy, and then you said,
37:36being partners, you're envious to Lacey.
37:39I just thought, he wants a bit of airtime, where's the camera?
37:42I'm going to pretend I've got an opinion, when I probably ain't.
37:45Facts. No, that's not facts, that's an opinion.
37:47What are you on about? It's convenient at the time.
37:50What are you on about? You just switched your story.
37:52What do you mean, switched your story? You did.
37:54I just feel like everything you say is, like, bullshit.
38:10I just feel like everything you say is, like, bullshit.
38:14You go for attention where the cameras are.
38:16That's your opinion, fair enough. Yeah.
38:18And thank you for giving it to me in that case. You're welcome.
38:23Are you sure you're not holding back because you're actually
38:25in front of the group and can't change your story
38:27to each person individually?
38:31I'm very sure of that. OK.
38:33It's quite clear here that Sasha holds a lot of resentment
38:36toward Luke, and I'm just wondering if this goes back
38:39to the argument at the previous dinner party
38:42where Luke took Alex aside and I think Sasha felt
38:45that she didn't have the support of Luke
38:47and she hasn't let go of that. No.
38:50It's her opinion. You take it for the chance.
38:52It's an opinion. No, you take it for the chance.
38:54Thank you for your opinion.
38:56I do feel that there's a lot of resentment
39:00Thank you for your opinion.
39:02I do feel like maybe Sasha does have a point
39:05on what Luke's told me. It just doesn't add up.
39:07There is no advice in here.
39:09This is just a personal attack.
39:11What is the advice here?
39:13The things that I've said to Luke I'm not concerned about at all
39:17because I've always been quite aware.
39:20He's a different person with different people.
39:22The only person I'm concerned about is Amy,
39:25so he needed to hear it.
39:28Right, fuck it, let's unblock, please.
39:35Dear Ross and Sasha,
39:38it is clear to see that you are both into each other
39:41in equal amounts.
39:43We feel that Sasha cares for Ross a lot
39:46and this can sometimes come across as overprotective.
39:50We don't know if this may make Ross feel a bit suffocated
39:54Since watching you both from the start,
39:56one of us can 100% say you work beyond the experiment,
40:00the other can't, due to the quick escalation of arguments.
40:04Ross acting on impulse, such as removing your wedding ring,
40:08would have probably been enough
40:10to end a relationship outside the experiment.
40:13Our advice would be to look at the bigger picture
40:16whenever you have arguments,
40:18as your positives definitely outweigh the negatives.
40:22Sasha, we feel that you are our biggest inspiration.
40:27You have gone above and beyond for Ross
40:30and you are his biggest support.
40:32Ross... That's sweet.
40:34I'm going to cry. No, yeah.
40:36Yeah, I'm going to cry.
40:40Go on, babe.
40:41Ross, try not to get drawn towards conflict.
40:45It is clear to see that you are an amazing father
40:48who always puts his family...
40:51Oh, Ross, don't.
40:53Don't.
40:55Oh, my God.
40:57Oh.
40:59Oh, Ross.
41:01He always puts his family, friends and wife first.
41:07We hope you take our advice on board.
41:10Please know it comes from love.
41:12Love that.
41:14That was really lovely.
41:16That was really, really nice.
41:18That was really lovely, guys.
41:22Ross, Ross.
41:23Isn't it lovely to see Ross being so comfortable
41:26to be vulnerable with the group,
41:28to let out the tears,
41:29to express how he feels about his daughter and his wife
41:32and he's proud of that.
41:40I feel like we shouldn't lower the tone
41:42and talk about the negatives now.
41:44I feel like we should just leave it at this.
41:47I appreciate that. It does mean a lot, honestly.
41:50You're amazing together, you love each other,
41:52you're obsessed with each other.
41:54Like, you can't wait to meet his daughter
41:57because you are going to be a little gem with her.
42:02I do sometimes worry that I might come across suffocating,
42:05but from the feedback I hear from Ross,
42:08it's always that he loves the way...
42:10It's a good thing.
42:11He's like, I have never had a woman support me the way you do.
42:15The difference is when we're in the group
42:17and the way you tell me what everyone's saying
42:19and involve me, I don't usually have.
42:22I think what we're seeing here is real progress with Sasha
42:25because there were some negatives,
42:27but Sasha has chosen not to focus on that
42:29and instead to look at the positives.
42:35Dear Kieran and Christina,
42:37as well as looking amazing together,
42:40it's clear to see how much you care and support each other
42:43and you want to be in each other's lives.
42:45However, it's obvious there are differences in your long-term goals.
42:50We have also noticed, Kieran, you compare Christina to your exes,
42:54which won't help Christina's confidence.
42:58There is also a lack of intimacy between the two of you,
43:02which hasn't helped you grow as a couple.
43:05But we also want to remind you of all the good things in your marriage.
43:11You were so amazing at the start and we all wanted what you two had.
43:17Our advice going forward,
43:19Kieran, you need to stop comparing exes to Christina.
43:23Christina, you need to take finances and future goals
43:27a little more seriously to show him you're committed.
43:30If these cons are worked on and given a chance to improve,
43:34then they can easily be fixed.
43:36But if you can't, then a bigger conversation needs to be had
43:40about your future. Love, Anonymous.
43:47How do you feel about that?
43:49I would say I'm not comparing Christina to me ex.
43:54When I was told on the sofa to write down how Christina's different,
43:58I soon realised, actually, they're very similar.
44:02It's hard to not feel the oh, shit
44:05when you're realising how similar someone is to your ex.
44:11Kieran, I am not your ex.
44:15I can see the potential with us.
44:17I can see me, in whatever time you need, moving to Newcastle.
44:22I'll make that fucking journey for you because I care about you
44:26and I see a potential with you.
44:28I have fought for you from day one.
44:32We have so much respect for each other.
44:34We've got that fire and electric between us
44:37and I don't think I can let that go.
44:40You don't want to let it go, I can see it,
44:42and I don't want to put pressure on you,
44:44but sometimes you need a little kick up the fucking arse.
44:52There's no-one, there's no-one in the world like you.
44:58And I've never met anyone more unapologetically themselves.
45:05I know my head's all over the place at the minute
45:09and I know I'm potentially risking losing
45:12one of the best women that I could ever wish for.
45:16And that's one of the hardest things, I admit to myself.
45:23But if I can't see things moving forward,
45:26I'm not going to lead you on because I do care about you.
45:31The other day, right, she was just walking about being a happy self
45:34and everyone that she bumped into, she just brought a smile to
45:37and that makes me so happy, just to know that you're this girl
45:40just walking through your daily life
45:42and you're bringing people's smiles everywhere you go.
45:46And I was sitting grinning because I was like, this is my wife.
45:51He literally said, you bring joy to everywhere you go.
46:00We clearly, very, very clearly just care about each other so much.
46:09I can obviously see this future with Kieran.
46:14So it is really difficult.
46:16But so beautiful to fucking hear.
46:32Kieran, just think logically, like, just really think about it.
46:35She's a good woman.
46:38I know she is.
46:41I know she is.
46:43I know she is.
46:46I'm only getting emotional because I do really, really care about Christina.
46:56At the minute, I'm in that grey area where I'm thinking,
46:59is this a friendship or is this more?
47:02And all I can do is be honest with you.
47:06But I'm really, really, really grateful and thankful for everything.
47:12Christina's still trying to fight for it.
47:17I care about Christina more than I think she really cares about me.
47:21And I'm really, really, really grateful and thankful for everything.
47:42And I know, I know I'll never meet another Christina in my life.
47:46I'm well aware of that.
47:48I need to work out whether this can be more than a friendship.
47:58I love you so much.
48:00No, I'm sorry.
48:01You know I do.
48:02No, I know, I know, I know, I know.
48:11I love you.
48:21Next time...
48:24..the first round of homestays...
48:26Good morning, universe!
48:28..involve a much warmer welcome than Nathan expected.
48:31I didn't realise I was going to have three wives instead of one.
48:34Mum, stop flirting with my man!
48:37If only he was 20 years older, I'd snap him up.
48:40While an emotional homecoming...
48:44..sows seeds of doubt for Ross...
48:50It's not happening.
48:52..and Sasha...
48:53Manchester's not a certainty for me anymore.
48:55I just hope it doesn't get in the way of our relationship.
48:58..and Polly's attempts to win over Adam...
49:01I hope you're not going to make too much mess.
49:03..don't go as planned.
49:05How are you finding married life?
49:07Hard.
49:08You've just made it sound muggy as fuck.
49:10No, you actually take the piss.
49:12You're lucky I carried on this marriage after you did that simple as that.
49:15What is actually wrong with you?
49:16I feel like I've really reached my fucking limit.
