00:00:00I told my wife that I love her!
00:00:02Previously...
00:00:04And she said it back!
00:00:05A dinner party that started with high hopes...
00:00:08Come on!
00:00:10...soon gave way to despair for some.
00:00:13I came into this, I was open and vulnerable, but I am her.
00:00:17Where do I go from here?
00:00:19If there's no potential in this relationship,
00:00:21I worry you're going to get yourself hurt.
00:00:23But it was Grace and Ashley's marriage.
00:00:26Everything's gone really sour.
00:00:27I don't know if I'm ever going to be able to see you in the same light again,
00:00:30and you don't seem to care.
00:00:31That lurched into a drastic downward spiral.
00:00:34This isn't going to go anywhere.
00:00:35I didn't want this to end this way.
00:00:37I can't give any more to this.
00:00:40Tonight...
00:00:41Welcome to Wales!
00:00:42Thank you!
00:00:43Homestays get underway.
00:00:45Oh, this is nice!
00:00:46This is where you'll be sleeping.
00:00:47While it's a warm welcome for some...
00:00:49Hi!
00:00:49Hello!
00:00:50You are everything that we could have wished for him.
00:00:53This is the perfect match.
00:00:55Others face a much tougher grilling.
00:00:57I've struggled to see a future with Leo outside of the experiment.
00:01:01It looks almost like you've made your mind up.
00:01:04She ain't perfect, mate.
00:01:05Maybe she's not for you.
00:01:07And...
00:01:08I have some information that I'm going to have to drop to Nelly.
00:01:11When a scandalous secret is exposed...
00:01:14Oh.
00:01:15Why have you wasted her time in this experiment?
00:01:16You don't respect her, you don't care about her,
00:01:19and you've made her feel like shit.
00:01:20It threatens to detonate Nelly's marriage to Stephen.
00:01:24She deserves a hundred times better.
00:01:25I'm going.
00:01:26It's time for the homestays.
00:01:26A key chapter in each couple's journey.
00:01:29It's time for the homestays, a key chapter in each couple's journey.
00:01:31It's time for the homestays, a key chapter in each couple's journey.
00:01:54Having shared life in the neutral space of their apartments,
00:01:58they'll now experience each other's real lives.
00:02:01I can't believe I know so much about you,
00:02:02but I haven't actually seen where you live.
00:02:05Being in their partner's world gives a clearer sense
00:02:08of what building a life together could actually look like.
00:02:14Last night's dinner party, it was pretty intense, wasn't it?
00:02:17Yeah, it was obviously not the best one for us, really, was it?
00:02:24I feel like I am the reason that things aren't moving forward,
00:02:27because Leo has expressed how much he likes me,
00:02:29and apparently I'm his dream woman.
00:02:31Home sweet home.
00:02:32Mm-hmm.
00:02:33But we don't have the emotional connection there yet for me.
00:02:38We just seem to be seeing very different views on this relationship.
00:02:41Very, very different views.
00:02:45Me and April had a really tough dinner party,
00:02:47and we're still not in the best place.
00:02:53During the homestays, I am hopeful that we can reconnect
00:02:56and get that initial spark back that we did have straight away.
00:03:00This week, being away from the experiment,
00:03:02I feel like you're going to see a different side of me.
00:03:04I've very much struggled being in the apartments
00:03:06and around these big groups,
00:03:08and just being in my hometown,
00:03:10I feel a lot more comfortable now already,
00:03:12and if we don't get an emotional connection after this week,
00:03:15then it's probably not going to be there.
00:03:19I agree.
00:03:22This week is going to be really good
00:03:24just to see you in your natural environment.
00:03:25I think, for me, there is a bit of happy attention there,
00:03:28because I'd much rather be going into
00:03:29seeing your friends and family being in a better place.
00:03:32Obviously, the last time they saw us, we were at the wedding,
00:03:34and everything was really happy and positive.
00:03:38Not quite so much anymore.
00:03:41On their wedding day...
00:03:42Oh, wow.
00:03:44Hi.
00:03:45April is definitely my type.
00:03:47She's got a beautiful smile.
00:03:49I love the mullet.
00:03:50There was an instant attraction between April and Leo.
00:03:54I definitely think he's my type,
00:03:55and I definitely fancy him.
00:03:56Which signalled a strong start to their marriage.
00:04:00Pretty much every box that you could take
00:04:02from a first impression has probably been ticked.
00:04:03It's so good.
00:04:08I'm so happy.
00:04:13For me, I'm just really looking forward
00:04:15to having some quality time with you,
00:04:17just the two of us.
00:04:18Mmm.
00:04:20Homestay is make or break for us.
00:04:22Now, I'm in the perfect place to try and turn it around.
00:04:24I'm just going to really try and have fun with it
00:04:26and show a different side to me
00:04:28that potentially she hasn't seen.
00:04:34My humble abode.
00:04:35Okay, after you.
00:04:36Let me go first, I'll open it up.
00:04:37Okay.
00:04:38Oh, come on, baby.
00:04:40Homestays is probably the thing
00:04:41I've been looking forward to the most.
00:04:42It makes the whole thing feel so real.
00:04:44Here's my little living room.
00:04:45Oh, it's nice.
00:04:46Little and sweet.
00:04:47It feels weird being here.
00:04:48I could really imagine Beck
00:04:49spending weekends or weeks down here
00:04:51and one day introduce Beck
00:04:53to my gorgeous little daughter, Bluebell.
00:04:55Are you going to show me the rest of your flat?
00:04:57This is it, babe.
00:04:58No, show me the rest.
00:04:59Come on, you've got a bedroom.
00:05:00When do you sleep?
00:05:02Here you are, baby.
00:05:03Come see the bedroom.
00:05:04Oh, this is nice.
00:05:05This is where you'll be sleeping.
00:05:06Nice white sheets.
00:05:07Yeah, Bluebell section.
00:05:08She's got a few little toys here.
00:05:09Is that her little guitar?
00:05:10Yeah, here's her little guitar.
00:05:11That's so cute.
00:05:12I play her, actually.
00:05:13Do you?
00:05:14Yeah, I'm teaching her to play.
00:05:15Oh, go on then.
00:05:16Go on.
00:05:16Welcome to my house, Beck.
00:05:19Is that not good?
00:05:24No, it's fine.
00:05:25Yeah, so bedroom.
00:05:26Yeah.
00:05:26Pretty much tour done.
00:05:28Lovely.
00:05:28Yeah, it's my little place.
00:05:29It's only small.
00:05:31Bailey's flat is really cute,
00:05:33but he's not got much stuff.
00:05:35He's got no pictures on the walls
00:05:37or much furniture, really.
00:05:39I could probably do with a little rinse.
00:05:43But I think it's perfect for what Bailey needs
00:05:45at this moment in his life
00:05:46before he had me.
00:05:47I'm excited now just to show you around home.
00:05:50Yeah.
00:05:51Try and give you a little taste
00:05:52of what I do, like the normal stuff.
00:05:54I convince you to come down here with me.
00:06:04Lee decided to stay on her own last night,
00:06:07which I don't get why.
00:06:08I've called her, I've messaged her.
00:06:11She's ignored me.
00:06:11She's not replying.
00:06:13So I've traveled all the way back to Liverpool on my own.
00:06:16I'm confused at this point
00:06:17as to why she hasn't come,
00:06:19why she needs space.
00:06:21I thought that she'd have more respect for me.
00:06:24It's ridiculous.
00:06:24I've decided to stay at the apartments
00:06:37rather than going to Leah's home
00:06:38because last night when we're out for drinks,
00:06:41I saw her flirting with another girl
00:06:44and she decided to stay there
00:06:46at the bar with this girl
00:06:47when I left to come home.
00:06:50There was no introduction
00:06:51between me and this girl
00:06:53and she spent the majority of the time with her
00:06:54so for me something just didn't add up.
00:06:57It was just another thing that I've seen
00:06:59that just reiterated to me
00:07:00that there's no respect there.
00:07:01I started to feel like
00:07:03you were being overly familiar with Rebecca
00:07:05and I think that's a bit muggy.
00:07:07Lee's fears over what she saw
00:07:09as flirty behavior from wife Leah.
00:07:12Lee thought I'd come up to you in a bar
00:07:13and was like,
00:07:15hey, Rebecca, I fancy you.
00:07:16Only grew when Leisha joined the experiment.
00:07:19The hot blue eyes.
00:07:21Oh, of course you fucking like this.
00:07:23Creating a constant source of tension in the marriage.
00:07:26I'm pissed off.
00:07:27I don't feel she's taking my feelings into consideration.
00:07:29I like to meet somebody
00:07:30and there's like that flirty vibe.
00:07:32This is the second time
00:07:34that Leah has crossed Leah's boundaries
00:07:35and Leah's made it clear
00:07:37that she wants a level of respect
00:07:40when it comes to their communication.
00:07:44After seeing the way that Leah behaved last night,
00:07:47that trust between me and Leah
00:07:48is completely broken.
00:07:50I've kept giving her the benefit of the doubt,
00:07:52but how many times can something happen
00:07:54before I look at the situation
00:07:56for just pure disrespect?
00:07:59I don't really want to go and stay
00:08:00in Leah's house at this point.
00:08:02It just doesn't feel right for me to do that.
00:08:04OK, this is it.
00:08:15Wow!
00:08:16This is a huge week for me.
00:08:18I'm ready for the grand tour.
00:08:20I'm back home and I'm back home with her wife.
00:08:23It feels amazing, really.
00:08:24Here we are.
00:08:25Oh, wow!
00:08:26This is nice!
00:08:27I'm really impressed with John's apartment.
00:08:31It's very clean and tidy,
00:08:33but it is nerve-wracking
00:08:34because it's really important to me
00:08:36that this week goes well.
00:08:38If John can't see me being here
00:08:39with his friends and family
00:08:40in this living space,
00:08:41then that's massive.
00:08:43Is it weird of me being in your kitchen?
00:08:45It's nice!
00:08:46Can you see me, like,
00:08:47chopping up things and cooking?
00:08:49Flipping my pancakes?
00:08:50Yeah!
00:08:50No, it feels like it should.
00:08:52It all feels, like, even more real now.
00:08:56I've been sat on my sofa as a single man
00:08:57for so long
00:08:58and wanted to be on my sofa
00:09:00with somebody else
00:09:01and I'm just so chuffed that it's Abby
00:09:02and it's a realisation, like,
00:09:04oh, do you know what?
00:09:04We're getting there.
00:09:05We're getting to what we want to achieve in life.
00:09:07This is the start of the rest of our life.
00:09:10Obviously, I'm so close to my mum
00:09:11and I just want to show your mum
00:09:13how much I do care for you
00:09:15and there is that pressure there
00:09:16because I care about you so much.
00:09:18My mum will be happy if I'm happy
00:09:20and I'm very, very happy.
00:09:34Stephen has let me down yet again.
00:09:37I said to Stephen
00:09:38that he was more than welcome
00:09:39to come to Manchester
00:09:40but he said
00:09:41that's something that he categorically
00:09:43doesn't want to do.
00:09:45I have heard nothing from Stephen
00:09:47not even a
00:09:48I hope you made it back okay.
00:09:51It just reiterates to me
00:09:53that I'm very insignificant to Stephen.
00:10:01It didn't feel right for me
00:10:02to come to homesteads with Nelly.
00:10:04I've got a lot on my mind at the minute
00:10:05so I didn't think it was fair on Nelly
00:10:08and her friends and family as well
00:10:09to come do a homestay
00:10:10where things just aren't quite right.
00:10:13My head's all over the place.
00:10:14I've got some serious thinking
00:10:15to do about Nelly and I's marriage.
00:10:25I'm not looking forward
00:10:26to telling my friends and family
00:10:27that Stephen has decided not to come with me.
00:10:30The one person I'm actually really worried about telling
00:10:32is my mum
00:10:33because she really, really liked him.
00:10:35So now I'm going to have to burst her bubble.
00:10:36This isn't how I hoped
00:10:38my homestay would be.
00:10:44Hi!
00:10:44Hi!
00:10:45Oh my God!
00:10:46Oh my goodness!
00:10:47This is so nice!
00:10:50It's so nice to see Nelly back.
00:10:52Feels so happy to see her.
00:10:53We don't usually go this long
00:10:55without talking.
00:10:57We've all missed her.
00:10:58Yeah, we've missed her so much.
00:10:59Come on in.
00:10:59Merry Stephen.
00:11:00Well, come on in guys.
00:11:02Would you like a drink?
00:11:05How are you?
00:11:06Yeah, we're good.
00:11:07We're good, but more importantly,
00:11:08how are you?
00:11:09I'm very Stephen.
00:11:12Yeah, well, about that,
00:11:14he's, um...
00:11:14decided not to come on homestays.
00:11:19What's wrong?
00:11:29So, last week we had
00:11:31partner swap week.
00:11:33I was with someone called Bailey.
00:11:34He basically treated me amazing,
00:11:37which is exactly how you should be treated
00:11:38in a relationship.
00:11:39That's right.
00:11:41Were you just not getting that before?
00:11:43Literally, no.
00:11:44Stephen said, well,
00:11:47he's been with this girl called April
00:11:49and that they've had a really good time.
00:11:51He's managed to have fun with her.
00:11:52The fun is back.
00:11:54And he managed to open up to her.
00:11:57And it was kind of like,
00:11:58well, she says I am this,
00:11:59she says I am that.
00:12:00So, kind of like,
00:12:01why can't you see it?
00:12:02And I'm thinking,
00:12:03has he been extra attentive to her
00:12:05when he's not even done that to me
00:12:07in my marriage
00:12:08to make her say that?
00:12:09That's really sad.
00:12:11Well, we kind of got a bit of that vibe
00:12:13when we had dinner at yours.
00:12:15You'd ask him a question
00:12:16and you'd answer it
00:12:17in like four or five different ways.
00:12:19I'll be honest,
00:12:19I was really confused.
00:12:20So, what we last saw wasn't great.
00:12:23In my head, I'm thinking,
00:12:24well, if you really want to give it
00:12:24one final push,
00:12:26you should be here.
00:12:27I am disappointed
00:12:28that he hasn't made the effort.
00:12:30Yeah, I'm really upset.
00:12:32You know, it's heartbreaking to...
00:12:34Don't get upset, Mom.
00:12:35It's heartbreaking to see that
00:12:37my daughter has to go through.
00:12:40We had a really big hope
00:12:42that she'll find her soulmate here.
00:12:47It's not a nice feeling.
00:12:49I don't think Stephen
00:12:50is the right person for Nelly.
00:12:52Do I continue working through it?
00:12:54Like, do I?
00:12:55Do I continue?
00:12:57I think you've tried your hardest,
00:12:58but you're hitting a brick wall.
00:13:00Now I've seen my mum and brother,
00:13:02they know what I deserve.
00:13:03I feel like I've got
00:13:04a little bit more clarity.
00:13:05We want to see you happy.
00:13:08He doesn't deserve you.
00:13:10Not for a partner
00:13:12and not as a friend.
00:13:23How's it cooking?
00:13:24Good looking.
00:13:26It's cooking good.
00:13:29My main ambition
00:13:30going into the homestays
00:13:32is just keeping
00:13:33the positive energy going.
00:13:35The real Leo
00:13:36is I'm a very extroverted person
00:13:38and being in this
00:13:40comfortable environment,
00:13:41it's really going to
00:13:42help me show it
00:13:43for the real me.
00:13:44Babe, do you want to see
00:13:45some magic?
00:13:47Um, okay.
00:13:50Right, let me show you.
00:13:52What is this going to be?
00:13:53Are you ready?
00:13:55The world famous...
00:13:57I know what it is.
00:13:59Already, yeah.
00:14:00Okay.
00:14:04Penis magic.
00:14:07How's that for you, babe?
00:14:11Why is he doing that?
00:14:13I don't understand.
00:14:15Tell me you love me, baby.
00:14:17Oh, it just makes me wince.
00:14:19Woo!
00:14:20Woo!
00:14:22You're an idiot.
00:14:23It's not sexy to me.
00:14:24Nope.
00:14:27See, now, you know
00:14:28when he did the penis trick.
00:14:30Penis magic.
00:14:31Far more impressive.
00:14:32I should have started with this.
00:14:33Yeah, I reckon.
00:14:34Well...
00:14:35I think April
00:14:39was having a great time.
00:14:40It's reassuring to me
00:14:41because I have been
00:14:42making an effort
00:14:42and it's just nice to know
00:14:44that I'm heading
00:14:44in the right direction.
00:14:46She was definitely here for it.
00:14:50This smells amazing,
00:14:52looks amazing,
00:14:53and you're amazing
00:14:54and I really appreciate
00:14:56you cooking for me tonight.
00:15:05Holy guacamole.
00:15:07These fajitas are fire.
00:15:16I'm going to get us
00:15:17in the kitchen, bro.
00:15:20For fuck's sake.
00:15:23Having slept on it last night,
00:15:36I have decided
00:15:37to go to Liverpool today
00:15:39and confront Lear.
00:15:42I want to find out
00:15:43exactly what went on
00:15:44with this girl.
00:15:45To me,
00:15:46it looked suspect.
00:15:47If I don't get the answers
00:15:49that I need today
00:15:50and it turns out
00:15:52that Lear
00:15:52was being disrespectful,
00:15:55then,
00:15:56as far as I'm concerned,
00:15:57the marriage is over.
00:16:02I ask you to finally turn up.
00:16:03I ask you to finally turn up.
00:16:27Lear turning up to my house,
00:16:28I feel blindsided.
00:16:29Why is she not texting me back?
00:16:31Why is she not calling me?
00:16:33I've just been completely
00:16:34left in limbo,
00:16:35so, yeah,
00:16:36I do want to know
00:16:36what's been happening.
00:16:37So,
00:16:42when we went out,
00:16:46I seen you
00:16:47around another girl.
00:16:49Mm-hmm.
00:16:50It just seemed sus.
00:16:53Okay, now.
00:16:55There's a girl here
00:16:56that you're spending
00:16:56a lot of time with.
00:16:57You haven't introduced me.
00:16:58You've wanted to stay out
00:16:59with this person
00:17:00and everybody else is leaving.
00:17:02Muggy.
00:17:03So, this is why
00:17:06you've ignored me?
00:17:07It's a bit of a shit thing to do.
00:17:08You were sat
00:17:09on a complete other table
00:17:10over there,
00:17:11away,
00:17:11so it wasn't like a case of...
00:17:12It was right next to you.
00:17:13No, it wasn't.
00:17:14It was.
00:17:15You were, like,
00:17:15ignoring me at that point.
00:17:16I wasn't ignoring you.
00:17:18You'd spoken to the people
00:17:19that I was with.
00:17:19You know you were.
00:17:20Lear,
00:17:21there was no point
00:17:22at that night
00:17:22that I was ignoring you.
00:17:24I wish you would've
00:17:25told me earlier
00:17:25and I would've just been
00:17:26able to squash it
00:17:27and tell you it was nothing.
00:17:29See, from my side,
00:17:30I'm literally calling you
00:17:31all the next day,
00:17:32texting you,
00:17:33I'm absolutely
00:17:34not the wiser.
00:17:38I think it's all
00:17:38been blown out of proportion.
00:17:40She does get in her head
00:17:41and then she gets a backup
00:17:42because maybe I've triggered her,
00:17:43but she's got nothing
00:17:44to worry about
00:17:44with this person.
00:17:46It's ridiculous.
00:17:49It's so confusing
00:17:50with you
00:17:51because
00:17:52it's been so,
00:17:54like, this,
00:17:54I don't know
00:17:54if I'm coming or going
00:17:55and then something happens
00:17:56that will make you
00:17:57a bit jealous.
00:17:58I'm not just, like,
00:17:59a bit jealous.
00:18:00Time after time,
00:18:01boundaries have been crossed.
00:18:02And I wouldn't feel
00:18:04the way that I feel
00:18:05if that wasn't the case.
00:18:07Was there anything more
00:18:08with you and that girl?
00:18:09Nothing.
00:18:14I felt a while ago
00:18:15that I couldn't really
00:18:16trust Leah anymore,
00:18:17so I'm hoping that
00:18:18homestays can help that.
00:18:20but I think
00:18:21that's going to take
00:18:22a lot of work
00:18:23from Leah.
00:18:34How are you feeling?
00:18:35I'm excited.
00:18:36I can't wait.
00:18:37How are you feeling?
00:18:38Yeah, I'm excited.
00:18:39A little bit nervous,
00:18:40but I'm excited.
00:18:41For the first part
00:18:42of his homestay,
00:18:43John is taking
00:18:44wife Abigail
00:18:45to visit his family.
00:18:46You're going to give
00:18:47Uncle John a big hug?
00:18:48Yeah.
00:18:49Yeah.
00:18:50So excited to see John.
00:18:52It feels like ages
00:18:53since I've seen him.
00:18:54Just absolutely
00:18:55beside myself
00:18:57with excitement.
00:18:59Hi!
00:19:00Hi!
00:19:02Hello.
00:19:04Hi!
00:19:05How are you?
00:19:07Lovely to see you.
00:19:08It feels so surreal
00:19:09being home with Abby.
00:19:10I've got last-minute nerves
00:19:11just hoping that the day
00:19:13goes as we want it to.
00:19:14We're so close as a family,
00:19:16so to know that
00:19:17I've got their back in,
00:19:18yeah, it's so big a moment.
00:19:20John.
00:19:21Yeah!
00:19:21Who's that?
00:19:22Who's that?
00:19:22That's Abby!
00:19:23Abby!
00:19:24You're Giovanni!
00:19:26Yes!
00:19:27Yeah!
00:19:28You know what I'm dying
00:19:28to ask, Brittany?
00:19:30Where was the honeymoon?
00:19:32Seychelles.
00:19:33Oh!
00:19:33No!
00:19:34You suffered!
00:19:35It was brilliant.
00:19:36It was, yeah,
00:19:36absolutely stunning,
00:19:37wasn't it?
00:19:38Yeah.
00:19:38Proper honeymoon paradise.
00:19:40Yes!
00:19:41You both look very happy.
00:19:43Yeah, you both look really well.
00:19:45It's been absolutely brilliant.
00:19:47Everything's just been incredible,
00:19:49like, and we take each step,
00:19:51like, within our stride, and...
00:19:53Oh, it's lovely to hear.
00:19:54That's really nice to hear.
00:19:55Yeah, yeah.
00:19:56Has the L word been said yet?
00:20:03So, after partner swap week,
00:20:06I had a bit of a realisation.
00:20:07What the hell am I waiting for?
00:20:08So, I said, I love you!
00:20:12Aww!
00:20:15Did she say it back?
00:20:16I did, I did.
00:20:17I could say it back.
00:20:18Once this experiment finishes,
00:20:20what's the plan?
00:20:22You know, it was important to me
00:20:23that Abby wanted to start a family,
00:20:24which she does.
00:20:25You know, and I said that
00:20:26I want to start a family,
00:20:27so, you know,
00:20:29we do want to get moving as well,
00:20:30don't we?
00:20:30Oh!
00:20:32Not...
00:20:32Not, not, not, not, not, not!
00:20:33Not, not, not, not, not!
00:20:35In the future!
00:20:37That's lovely, that's lovely.
00:20:38That's lovely to hear, that's lovely to hear.
00:20:41It's something we both want.
00:20:44It's just brilliant to see you so happy.
00:20:49You are everything that we could have wished for,
00:20:52for him.
00:20:56That's what I want.
00:20:57I want to be part of your family.
00:20:59I think the absolute world of John.
00:21:01And it's all down to you all as well.
00:21:07Oh, you're good!
00:21:09It's just, isn't it so nice
00:21:12to be in this situation?
00:21:13Yeah.
00:21:14But he has honestly looked after me as well.
00:21:17We have been each other's support network.
00:21:19Thank you so much!
00:21:22Go on, John, show you a sensitive side.
00:21:25Aww!
00:21:25Hey!
00:21:26Watch these!
00:21:28Abi, welcome.
00:21:29Thank you so much!
00:21:31I've never seen John this happy before.
00:21:34He seems to be beaming from ear to ear.
00:21:38This is the perfect match.
00:21:39I'm excited for April to be seeing my friends. My friends' opinion, it is very, very important
00:21:55to me. The last time the boys saw me and April together was at our wedding. It was
00:21:59a really, really good day. Since then, we've had some ups and downs, so it's going to be
00:22:03good to get some advice from them. I'm excited to see how they're getting on. I mean, on
00:22:11the day, I thought they were a brilliant match. So how have things been for you since the wedding?
00:22:18For me, it's been very up and down. I very much really liked April, and during the honeymoon
00:22:26we was getting on really, really well, and entering the apartment, it became apparent
00:22:31that we weren't on the same page. I'm struggling to build an emotional connection because we
00:22:38are not talking in depth about things. I don't feel like Leo is very talkative, and that's
00:22:47a worry for me. On all levels or just on certain subjects? All levels. Why are you not speaking
00:22:53to him on it? Because the Leo I know doesn't shut up. Well, that is not what I've experienced.
00:22:59I've fallen into my shell a lot more in this environment. I'm definitely not calling it a day.
00:23:07I definitely still feel like there's something there. This is the time that we can really spend
00:23:13some quality time together, one-on-one, and truly express ourselves to each other.
00:23:20He's trying, and you're not. It looks almost like you've almost made your mind up.
00:23:31Do you feel like I've made my mind up? Yes. I'm not saying this is done. This is not a nail
00:23:39in the coffin, I'm out fucking see you later, otherwise I wouldn't be here speaking to his
00:23:42two closest friends. I'm just sternly telling you. This week is make or break for me because
00:23:49I've struggled up until this point to build the connection that is making me see a future
00:23:55with Leo outside of the experiment. I want Leo to be his authentic self. I want him to be
00:24:02everything that he can be. Hang on. I want him to be everything he can be.
00:24:06Yeah, this isn't the normal Leo. So, I'm not experiencing the normal Leo? What I see is little puppy dog Leo.
00:24:23It's bullshit. Don't tell me I'm not trying to make it work because that's not the case.
00:24:29How? I will let you catch up.
00:24:36It's so frustrating. On the wedding day, I thought you two perfectly matched.
00:24:42From talking to her now, I don't feel like her heart is in it as much as yours.
00:24:52I'm very positive going into this relationship and I want to make a lot of changes and make it work.
00:24:57All I hear is a lot of like you, you, you. But I don't hear anything that she wants to change
00:25:02about herself. She ain't perfect, mate. And I'm going to be brutally honest, I think she thinks she's like too good for you.
00:25:11Leo and April are definitely a miss. I think they're doomed.
00:25:15You must stay truthful to yourself. If she doesn't like you for it, maybe she's not for you.
00:25:20Yeah, if she don't like it, then her loss.
00:25:25I'm really enjoying having Beck in Hove. My little side hustle is that I run a beer company,
00:25:46so I can't wait to show Beck when my beer is brewed. So this is where the beer is cooked.
00:25:50It's a little taste of what I'd like to imagine the future could look like.
00:25:54Go on, have a look. You all right? Health and safety.
00:25:58Well, this is where your beer was?
00:26:00Yeah, so mine. Wow, it's huge.
00:26:01Yeah, they cooked the beer in here.
00:26:03They're so big, they're so echoey. Look, can you hear me?
00:26:06I've got to say something in there. Free therapy, come on.
00:26:09Hello, Beck. Hove is way better than Liverpool.
00:26:13Oh!
00:26:28After meeting Leo's friends yesterday on the taxi home, me and Leo ended up having an argument.
00:26:33It was due to some of the views that his friends had.
00:26:36His friends have stated, this isn't the real Leo. He normally talks loads.
00:26:40He feels like a puppy dog, and it just escalated from there.
00:26:46Leo's way to deal with that was to pack up everything and leave, and then didn't come back till this morning.
00:26:53So...
00:26:54And was that an adult reaction?
00:26:56Like, what? What the fuck?
00:26:58Last night, my friends told me it's blatantly obvious that April isn't in this relationship as much as I am.
00:27:10It was really hard for me to hear from them.
00:27:13After we got home, we had an argument, and I just thought I needed to remove myself from this situation.
00:27:18I went back to the office where I work from and slept on the sofa there.
00:27:23I have a lot to think about.
00:27:26How are you?
00:27:27I just thought the argument wasn't really going anywhere, but I shouldn't have walked away.
00:27:37Talking to my friend yesterday, I wanted them to at least see what I see, which is that there is a chance for us to turn things around, but they didn't see that.
00:27:48Reality has hit, and...
00:27:53I just feel like I need a break from this.
00:28:02I don't understand why it's escalated this much.
00:28:05Like, this isn't how you deal with arguments.
00:28:11I'm feeling gutted that it's come to this.
00:28:14She's emotionally clocked out this relationship.
00:28:16I've tried everything that I can to try and turn things around, but April's still not liking me for me.
00:28:23That's what it comes down to.
00:28:40We're on our way to see Emma and Taylor, who's my auntie and cousin.
00:28:46I can see Lee's still got resentment for me.
00:28:51So, I feel like I really want to get it all off my chest as to what's been happening in the last few days, the trust it being a big problem.
00:28:59Hello.
00:29:00Hi.
00:29:01Hi.
00:29:01Hi.
00:29:02So, I do think I need to be honest about all that.
00:29:05How's it been?
00:29:12Emotional rollercoaster.
00:29:15It's been a lot to...
00:29:17Has it been hard living together then?
00:29:20Yeah.
00:29:21So, where are you at now with each other?
00:29:23You know, I'm, like, quite a jokey person.
00:29:28It's never from a place of me flirting.
00:29:31But I've been branded a flirt throughout this whole process of bloody everyone.
00:29:36Yeah, we've spoken about situations throughout this where you'll make a little comment about someone else and I'll feel like it's disrespectful or...
00:29:44You also do tell me to have a joke about things like that?
00:29:48Not that I don't.
00:29:49Really?
00:29:50I've never told you to joke about someone being attractive.
00:29:54I've argued about that multiple times.
00:29:56Okay.
00:29:57For me, it's always, like, I've got to over-talk myself out of a situation that's not a situation.
00:30:07And I feel like that's where compromise comes in and, like, acknowledging each other's feelings and...
00:30:11Yeah.
00:30:12It's hard, isn't it? I guess, both being girls, where do you draw the line with other girls and having that friendship compared to, like...
00:30:17Oh, I'm so glad you said that.
00:30:18Yeah.
00:30:19It's just finding that middle ground between you both.
00:30:22Do you feel like you can trust Leah now?
00:30:24I think I'd be lying if I said 100%.
00:30:28And I think it's beneficial to be honest about that.
00:30:36You know, Leah is a very trustworthy person.
00:30:39I've never known her to do horrible things in relationships.
00:30:43With Leah, she's quite out there.
00:30:46We'll go on nights out and Leah will come back with 20 new friends.
00:30:49Yeah.
00:30:49And then these 20 new friends will be out of us all night.
00:30:52What? Just, like, trusting the fact that she is insolently a people's person as well.
00:30:59Yeah. I said coming in here that I really wanted someone that could, like, work a room.
00:31:03I've got to worry about, you know, checking that they're okay.
00:31:07I love that element of you.
00:31:09I think you both need to stop being so serious and just try and have some fun and just go for it.
00:31:19Yeah, I'd like to do that.
00:31:20I'm hoping seeing my family has gave Leah a little bit of comfort, people who know the real me.
00:31:28I am a good person and I'm not someone who's going to disrespect her or be disloyal and know that I've got no bad intent.
00:31:35I really do hope I can get to a point where I do fully trust Leah and that there are no worries or doubts.
00:31:42But I think it's going to be a collective thing from both of us to get there fully.
00:31:47Leah's going to be here any minute.
00:32:01Are you excited?
00:32:02I know.
00:32:02I've just missed him.
00:32:03I'm so excited to see April because she's so lovely.
00:32:06It'd be nice to meet her again.
00:32:07When I last saw lovely Leah and April, my gosh, they were just so loving and it was so exuberant.
00:32:16I want them to say they're in love.
00:32:17Ideally, I want them to be in love.
00:32:20I hope it's going well.
00:32:21That's all you hope for, isn't it?
00:32:22That's all you hope for.
00:32:23Oh, he's looking gorgeous.
00:32:25Look at him.
00:32:27Look.
00:32:27It's you.
00:32:29I'm totally.
00:32:30You look amazing.
00:32:31You do look amazing.
00:32:32I do, Mum.
00:32:33Look at you.
00:32:34Look at you and Mum saying, sis.
00:32:36Oh, we love you.
00:32:38We love you so much.
00:32:40We've just been talking with ourselves.
00:32:41Oh, we're so excited to see you.
00:32:43April, where is she?
00:32:45She's not coming today.
00:32:47I've seen him, obviously.
00:32:48Okay.
00:32:48Okay.
00:32:49Oh, okay.
00:32:51Okay.
00:32:51Oh.
00:32:54Obviously, last time you saw us was at our wedding and it was fantastic.
00:32:59It was beautiful.
00:33:00And, um, you all right?
00:33:03It's all okay.
00:33:04Just let me know.
00:33:04It's not a bad meal.
00:33:06It's what?
00:33:06Let him explain.
00:33:07Let him explain.
00:33:07No, but let me explain, Mum.
00:33:08Let him explain.
00:33:09Come on.
00:33:09When we got back to the apartments, I struggled to then open up to April.
00:33:13Okay.
00:33:14So, we've been working on bits to try and get this deeper emotional connection and it just,
00:33:19it hasn't seemed to have come naturally to us.
00:33:22Okay.
00:33:23Um, she went and met Simon and Aston and they were just brutally honest to me where they see
00:33:30our relationship is going and then it got a little bit heated.
00:33:33And it's not going to work between us.
00:33:34I'm sorry, but how are they, how are they the best to know?
00:33:38You and April have been matched for a reason and I think you are very well suited. You have
00:33:43the same interests, same personalities. Your electricity at the wedding was really great.
00:33:51You are a beautiful couple. You only get this one chance. If there's one little part of you that thinks actually this can work, this could work, you need to go for it. You really need to go for it. And this might be your only chance and I just wouldn't want you to regret it.
00:34:08I do feel like there is maybe a slight chance. Oh, a slight chance? A slight chance? A slight
00:34:25darling go for it. A slight chance is a chance. We're just seeing how it goes.
00:34:31Yeah. But maybe if you do have this little time apart, you might then come together again
00:34:39and say, you know, it will work. You don't know. You don't know. Potentially. Yeah. Can't
00:34:44do this if you're crying. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, darling. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
00:34:50What a shock to get. Your heart just sank. I had no idea. I had no idea. I just thought everything
00:34:56was up here and just awful, awful moment. You know, I just didn't expect it. No. Darling, go for it.
00:35:06I feel confused on how I want to move forward, whether I should stick it through for the rest
00:35:11of the homestays or whether I should leave the experiment. My head's all over the place at the minute.
00:35:17Come on, baby girl. Are you ready? I'm so excited. I'm really looking forward to Beck meeting
00:35:29my sister. It's important that they get on. My sister, Rose, has always given me great advice,
00:35:33so I'd love her to speak to Beck and convince her to move down here with me. Hello. Hello. Hi.
00:35:38Rosie, how are you? Good. How's it going? How are you? I'm really excited to see both of them,
00:35:45especially Beck, because I didn't get to speak to her properly at the wedding.
00:35:48Here's my wife. I really want to know how it's been, because I'm not sure what's going to happen
00:35:54with the distance between them and how realistic it is. The wedding feels ages ago now.
00:36:00A lot's happened since then. Yeah. Like, literally, from the honeymoon,
00:36:03we got on, like, a house on fire. Living together's been kind of the best part for us.
00:36:07Just being home together is where we have the most fun. Aw. Good. Yeah. It's nice.
00:36:12It feels comfortable. Yeah, yeah. Which is good. Just everything's great. Yeah.
00:36:16But we live opposite sides of the bloody country. Have you spoken about it a lot?
00:36:24I don't think you can get to final vows without having a plan.
00:36:32I'm not sure if I could leave home permanently, because everything's there for me.
00:36:36Yeah. Like, friends, family, my business is there.
00:36:39Do you work, like, in your clinic? Yeah. Every day? Yeah. It is there.
00:36:45I don't know if I could leave.
00:36:49I don't think long distance is going to work that well.
00:36:53Would you think about moving? I just wouldn't sacrifice any time with Blue.
00:36:57I'd literally be so angry if you moved.
00:37:03And it's just too far to, like, you can't just pop and see her.
00:37:07You need to know how it's going to happen. How would it work?
00:37:10I don't want you to move up there. Definitely not.
00:37:15Bluebell's down here. I can't move. Like, I can't move.
00:37:17Yeah. Like, that's just... I don't think you can. Yeah.
00:37:21My hands are, like, completely tied.
00:37:28You all right? I'm somehow sad. Nothing.
00:37:32OK. All right.
00:37:34Seeing Rose today, the pennies dropped when it comes to us being so far apart.
00:37:39He's got his daughter here, and I don't want to take Bailey away from his family at all.
00:37:45But everything that I have built is in Liverpool.
00:37:49So, Rose has brought us back down to earth today.
00:37:55It makes me feel sad talking about it.
00:37:57Yeah. It is just the one thing we just haven't been able to crack.
00:38:00The tough thing about this is that, with me not being able to move, I throw the ball in Beck's court, and it's...
00:38:10I know it's not fair, but I can't physically move, so it's just, like, fucking gut-wrenching.
00:38:17If we can't come to some sort of agreement, then we're both going to end up with broken hearts.
00:38:21Oh, exciting. Bring it over. I can't wait to catch up.
00:38:36It's really important that I have this evening with my flatmate, Lucy.
00:38:40Oh, God, I have missed this. I've missed you so much.
00:38:43She is someone that I'm always going to be honest to, and she'll call it out if she sees it.
00:38:46So, I just need to tell her the truth.
00:38:48What the hell is going on? Why is Stephen not here?
00:38:52He's decided not to come with me on homestays.
00:38:54And I've told him multiple times, like, you are so welcome to, but he just didn't turn up.
00:39:00He was like, I'm not coming.
00:39:03How do you feel?
00:39:04I just feel like he's shown me completely that I'm not a priority, and he doesn't really care about my feelings.
00:39:10After the retreat, I basically told him, I need more from you, because right now, this doesn't feel like a relationship.
00:39:16And when I had the commitment to so many, the guy put, stay for now.
00:39:19And that's like a pardon.
00:39:22But that he'd also called me a fucking idiot.
00:39:24I think we know who the effing idiot is, and it's not you.
00:39:27Then came back from partner swap.
00:39:29I walked into the flat, and on the fridge I got home, he'd put up a photo of him and April, and I was like, what is that doing on my fridge?
00:39:34Are you taking the piss?
00:39:36No, I'm not.
00:39:37It's so disrespectful.
00:39:39Why do you think it's appropriate to have a photo of you and another person's wife on that fridge, on my fridge?
00:39:46Honestly, he's vile.
00:39:48Yeah.
00:39:49He is vile.
00:39:50I'm upset for Nelly, because Stephen has invalidated her feelings, and he's not made her feel wanted.
00:39:57The only thing that Stephen's done is take her more into her shell.
00:40:01Why have you stayed for this long?
00:40:03Do you know why?
00:40:04I put up with it, because actually, I did really like him, and he would give me hope every week.
00:40:11Like, the fact that he's me...
00:40:14I have just had a text from him.
00:40:18Saying what?
00:40:20I've had some time to think.
00:40:22I'm coming to Manchester tomorrow.
00:40:24Let's meet.
00:40:28First of all, where's the hi, hello, how are you?
00:40:31Rude.
00:40:32I've had some time to think.
00:40:34About what exactly?
00:40:36Your lack of anything.
00:40:40You've lost your voice, and you need to find it again.
00:40:43And you need to tell him exactly how you feel.
00:40:45And that's what I'm gonna do.
00:40:47I haven't been treated right.
00:40:49I haven't been affirmed.
00:40:50I haven't felt secure.
00:40:52I've finally seen the light.
00:40:54I'm gonna say everything I need to say and get it off my chest.
00:40:57And you're gonna listen for the first time.
00:41:04So there's a waterfall just down there.
00:41:05Oh, really?
00:41:06Yeah.
00:41:07And there's a castle at the top.
00:41:08For the Queen.
00:41:09Aw, for your Queen.
00:41:10Yeah.
00:41:11I like you being my tour guide.
00:41:12It's my job to make Abbey feel as comfortable as possible this week.
00:41:15It's beautiful, it's so pretty.
00:41:16It's nice, isn't it?
00:41:17Oh, look at this.
00:41:18Aw.
00:41:19I think now Abbey being in North Wales is like another visual representation of love.
00:41:22and it feels really normal, it just feels like the necessary next step.
00:41:29this week it's beautiful it's so pretty oh look at this i think now abbey being in north wales
00:41:37is like another visual representation of love and it feels really normal it just feels like
00:41:42the necessary next step we've had the night apart currently i don't know where we stand on the rest
00:42:04of homestays i do want leo to come to my homestays and come to weymouth but the last couple days have
00:42:10been quite tough so i don't know if leo's coming yet on the wedding day it was all very fresh and
00:42:17positive it's sad that it's now this bad
00:42:31i haven't seen april since yesterday morning we stayed apart last night i've had time to reflect
00:42:36sleep on it and i feel like seeing my mom and sister yesterday it's definitely put everything
00:42:40into perspective all right all right
00:42:51how are you doing i'm good how are you
00:42:57saw me mum yesterday and sister and i woke up this morning thinking a lot more positively that
00:43:05i want to see it through i do genuinely really really care about you i'm here for one reason
00:43:10and that's that's to try and make this marriage work
00:43:17i do need to give it a hundred percent last effort to to see if we can turn this marriage around
00:43:26where's your head up i'm happy for you to come to weymouth and for us to see the homestays through but
00:43:32if you're not honest with your feelings then how do you move forward yeah yeah well i need to honor
00:43:40that this is all i want is this last last chance yeah definitely i am happy that leo's coming to
00:43:49weymouth and i'm glad that we're continuing on with homestays leo still has positivity about us
00:43:54but there is a big concern whether or not this will work out because he's not great at communicating
00:44:03i'm still really unsure
00:44:08do you like it yeah it's really lovely after seeing this i understand why you love it so much
00:44:23for me it's just peaceful isn't it yeah because my life's so like hectic and i'm like here then
00:44:27everywhere and then i come back and it's just like zen yeah i get it it makes sense i am pleasantly
00:44:34surprised with leo's hometown so far she lives quite a calm life and that's what i want so it
00:44:39definitely makes me see her in a different way i am now happy lee's come to homestays she's woke up in
00:44:46like peace this morning it's really important for me that she does like it and i think it's quite
00:44:51important for her that she has felt so comfortable here as well so you're glad you came i am really
00:44:58glad i came yeah yeah there's a lot that i didn't realize about myself that i'm still maybe not over
00:45:04or that still triggers me in past relationships i have been massively disrespected i have had my trust
00:45:13broken by people so before i come in here i was like i will never tolerate anyone even slightly
00:45:21disrespecting me again because it made me feel the worst i've ever felt i think going through that and
00:45:27then being in situations with you it's been hard to navigate because where you are such a bubbly
00:45:34funny character and you do make jokes sometimes it is just a joke yeah for me even those things
00:45:40i'm like nope yeah that's not what i wanted that's not what i asked for and so yes but it has it's been
00:45:46a lot like i know it hasn't been the easiest for you the reason i've been so patient with you because
00:45:54you've been so open about your ex but i think because of your past it's almost like you're trying
00:46:00to find a problem we're never going to get anywhere if you don't just have the trust in me yeah and i i
00:46:09think you're right i need to give you the benefit of the doubt that you're not going to do
00:46:15what has been done to me before from my side like what do you need from me to make you feel secure in
00:46:24that way i think maybe it's the reassurance in those moments it could be something as small as
00:46:32you haven't got worried by the way like everything's good or like just come and give me a kiss on the
00:46:35tree just the smallest little thing so i don't need to worry if i know that you're feeling a certain way
00:46:41of course i'll reassure you yeah that's positive then for me and you moving forward if i can make
00:46:46the effort to tell you when i'm feeling uncomfortable that then gives you the opportunity to reassure me
00:46:51and i think that's a good baseline for us to like move forward the way lee's being really vulnerable and
00:46:57open with me now and telling me she needs reassurance it's a different side to lee that i haven't really
00:47:02seen before it's definitely give me more hope for the future oh that's huge
00:47:11oh my god oh leah has been really understanding when i've been vulnerable and telling her exactly
00:47:19how i'm feeling so i think i need to start giving leah the benefit of the doubt and actually trusting
00:47:26that she's not the same as the people that i've experienced before come on let's go and walk yeah come
00:47:32one then
00:47:49thank you so much thank you last time i saw my mom my sister was at the wedding their opinions will
00:47:56genuinely have an impact on me it is very much still make or break for me
00:48:07you all right yeah
00:48:10i'm really nervous about meeting april's mom and sister today obviously we're not in the best place
00:48:14but i'm really really hoping that it does go well hello darling hello all right let's see you again
00:48:21sophia how are you really good you look great i think it's going to be a shock to my family that
00:48:27it hasn't gone well because it was so positive on the day i think everyone would actually think they
00:48:32would do so how are you last time we saw you was at the wedding i really loved the wedding the wedding
00:48:38day was so good it was amazing i was really happy yeah the honeymoon was so good and then we came back
00:48:46to the apartments and i think you just struggled a little bit struggled in which way i think it was
00:48:52just very overwhelming for me having all the other couples around whereas april she thrives she's a social
00:48:57butterfly and opening up for me was was very hard at first did that affect you as a couple then yes
00:49:08and where are you at now did you do this week so this week we was at my homestays in chichester oh
00:49:16yeah and uh my friends weren't the most positive about our relationship they made a few comments that
00:49:22they didn't sort of picture us being together they just didn't think that we were quite compatible
00:49:29are you
00:49:32i adore april to bits
00:49:33and i'm just hoping by the end of the week we'll have a little bit more clarity i'm definitely
00:49:40still in this experiment to yeah to make it just yeah just have a nice you know end of the week and see
00:49:49i adore april she's everything that i've wanted it did start off so well
00:49:55i feel gutted we're not getting on as much as we was before i'm gonna go get another drink and um
00:50:01i'll let you guys talk for a bit thank you
00:50:05but i do think it's important that we do tell the truth
00:50:10what's really going on because you you seem a bit on edge
00:50:14i do feel a little bit on edge i guess because like we'll get like for me at the beginning the
00:50:19wedding day was really good and i was like oh my god this man ticks so many boxes and i think we're
00:50:23gonna have so much to talk about i'm in the sort of halfway through i'm thinking
00:50:27i'm leading the conversations a lot i'm not really getting a lot back it's not like i necessarily
00:50:34need someone who's going to be as big a personality as me because that is quite difficult i just need
00:50:38someone to be able to have the banter with i need someone that's going to make me laugh and i
00:50:43like does he make you laugh no who to me personality is so important and yes we are not gelling you
00:50:54can't force a connection with someone yeah did you think out with the experiment that it might be
00:50:59different from the personality that i've seen not what's made you stay this long he is a really good
00:51:08partner like he is very caring he is very generous he does have a lot of good qualities about him
00:51:13i think for me at this stage i'm just not feeling the connection no he's not for you
00:51:24you are such an outgoing person and leo he's a lovely guy but no my mum and my sister have definitely
00:51:34validated how i've been feeling i knew it would be clear for them as soon as we met this isn't going
00:51:40to work between the pair of them and we know that for a certainty it's not for you
00:52:04i want to surprise lee tonight it's our last night of my home stay i want to make it romantic because
00:52:09i'm not very good at doing that in the past i'm not touching your makeup no i don't want to fall
00:52:15i'm hoping me being more romantic and thoughtful helps her be more open with me this will be dicing
00:52:21on the cake i'm hoping okay open
00:52:24oh did you do this for yourself yeah are they real mm-hmm oh thank you welcome that's so sweet
00:52:37i didn't know you had it in you and her dollar look at you
00:52:44this is really happy i'm really happy oh what's this that's rose
00:52:49oh god you really know me well didn't you mm-hmm
00:52:57okay should we do a bit of spaghetti like lady and the tramp
00:53:05wait
00:53:11i've literally had the best time i don't want to leave yeah kind of makes you see each other in a
00:53:15different way well how do you think you've seen me that you didn't think i was before i think your
00:53:18lifestyle is a lot more calm than i thought it was going to be this is house it's calming house it
00:53:23is lovely i have there's there's so much about you that i love oh yeah like what
00:53:31you are so caring and attentive and you are so patient and it does make me want to stay and does
00:53:37make me want to try and makes me appreciate you as a person
00:53:40yeah there's a lot that you do give me that i haven't had i clearly have trust issues and you
00:53:49being so patient and allowing me the time and the space to work on that we wouldn't still be here if
00:53:54you weren't doing that yeah so i am grateful that you've done that welcome
00:54:00i think with you and i'll be really honest with you you don't really like to sometimes admit you
00:54:12need reassurance no no i don't but that also tells me that there's feeling there from you that you want
00:54:17reassurance from me for a reason yeah and each moment like this and conversation that we have like
00:54:22this just enables me to trust you more you've made such an effort and i'm leaving here feeling happy
00:54:33good this is like my perfect day i absolutely love it and this effort from leo tonight is definitely
00:54:41what i've needed it's a way of giving me reassurance through actions you keep kicking me
00:54:46sorry sorry oh you're playing foot too yeah we've made it a lovely home stay it's just got better
00:54:54and better throughout
00:55:06space has been pretty good for me definitely allowed my mind to be refreshed and think about what i want
00:55:12in the future going forward i definitely owe it to nelly to come to manchester to speak to her
00:55:18conversation needs to be had
00:55:26i was initially disappointed that stephen decided not to join me because
00:55:30in my mind i thought you couldn't even make me a priority for once in this relationship
00:55:37marriage does mean a lot to me that i'm a one woman kind of guy and i've still got still
00:55:42got the ring on hello hello on him hopefully we'll leave with a better head space and more
00:55:54respect for one another a nice little pad in it thank you i would like to think that stephen has
00:55:59reflected on how this whole experiment's been together i've got things i need answering and i've
00:56:03got things i want to tell him how's it been since you come back it's been really good
00:56:12speaking to my friends and family i've got a lot more clarity on stuff but some things i
00:56:17i still have questions on partner swap week when i got back after my week with bailey and told you
00:56:23how he treated me the same as he treated beck and that's what i wanted from a relationship i felt
00:56:28that when you were telling me about your few nights with april it just felt like you were directly
00:56:33comparing me to her like her personality to my personality how she's really fun and how she's got you to
00:56:39open up and it just felt like why are you comparing me to another woman i can imagine yeah yeah it's a
00:56:48kick in the teeth did you guys flirt with each other and that's two people i think that ain't it
00:56:56flirting also counts as sexual innuendos no idea what i'm going to be putting in my mouth
00:57:00well that's still young commenting on each other's bodies very comfortable so for it how does that fit
00:57:08a six-foot free man that's what she said did you do any of that
00:57:14no just said there's been no flirting no flirting whatsoever no flirting
00:57:18oh well hi stephen this is lucy hi stephen how are you yeah i've just got back from work
00:57:27how are you yeah good you can grab a seat if you want yes i will do things didn't sit right with
00:57:32me after the conversation i had with nelly the way that she said stephen has been with her things
00:57:37didn't add up i have been doing a little bit of digging on stephen and i have in fact got some
00:57:43information that i'm going to have to drop to nelly how are you feeling stephen about nelly
00:57:54she like i like the girl i care for the girl do you think that nelly really deserves to give you
00:57:59any more of her time it's it's not it's not about that i'm going to always have her back because we've
00:58:04been in the experiment together you've not had her back through the entire experiment how between how
00:58:08you've not been in the experiment how have you had her back when she's coming to me and telling me
00:58:13that she feels like she's not been validated she feels like you've not made any effort
00:58:19what does marriage mean to you marriage mean for me that's like the epitome of love that's
00:58:24the grandest of all obviously other than kids so if you're married do you think it's appropriate to
00:58:31be on a dating website sorry i'm not dating website i think you know steve no we don't know because i can
00:58:41get my phone out now and show i can get mine out too okay so you think i'm on i know you're on it
00:58:53no i'm not on anything yes you are would you like me to show you then yeah i'll show you
00:58:59that i would love to see it what happens if you like the profile that's why it's not what is it
00:59:05and that was today
00:59:16oh is that what you had to go and play your head about
00:59:18yeah no that's not me though is it's a verified account yes it is
00:59:30why is it verified how the fuck do i know that like let me let me change your password i'll even
00:59:34show you that i can't even get that fucking app on my phone what app which app i see it's hinge
00:59:39obviously because you showed me the picture no well do you should we start being honest then
00:59:46i'm about to prove that it's not me right okay i think to be honest
00:59:54i'm going to take this off because i think this marriage is over
01:00:01because i don't deserve that why are you still on your phone
01:00:05nelly is speaking to you and you're not even looking at her why do you have no respect for her
01:00:10i don't have respect for her you're not even looking at her when she's speaking to you

01:00:55another phone or if people got photos and got information yes because it's not just posting
01:01:02information to verify an account you have to go through certain steps to confirm it's you
01:01:06and that can't really be done by somebody that isn't you what i've heard from nelly is that you
01:01:17don't respect her you don't care about her you're not interested in her and you've made her feel like
01:01:22shit you had so little respect for her that you weren't even going to come up here and see her
01:01:28i wanted her to come see her friends and family by herself so she can get that feeling back of
01:01:33being refreshed and that's exactly how she's felt she felt so much better she feels so much
01:01:37like being around she realizes that she deserves a hundred times better cool yeah look deserves
01:01:42the world what do you mean of course i've said she deserves the world yeah so why have you wasted
01:01:46her time then why you have wasted her time because you've just said she deserves the world yet you
