00:00It's in-laws week. Kia was relieved to finally have the opportunity to have a deep and meaningful
00:12catch up with his mum. When was the last time you had anal? While our couples were busy enjoying
00:17lasagna with their families, we had three more weddings. Abigail was impressed by the range of
00:24activities available on her honeymoon. One minute you could be chopping off dog's balls, the next
00:29we're doing anaesthetics. Rhys has been paying close attention to the runways at Fashion Week.
00:36A good walk for a woman is when the legs sort of go one by one, not side by side.
00:41I'm Lucinda Light. Welcome to Mavs UK. It's official.
00:54There's nothing I love more than talking about Mavs, so every week I bring you celeb
00:59super fans, our experts and our newlyweds for an exclusive debrief about everything that's
01:05been going down in Married at First Sight. We've had three more weddings this week and
01:10later on, April, will be joining us to tell us all about becoming Mrs. Hot Dog. But right
01:17now I'm joined by one of our favourite TV couples. It's Marcus and Misha.
01:22How are you guys?
01:27We're good, thank you.
01:28So dashing. Look at you both. So you two didn't get married at First Sight. Would you say you're
01:34each other's complete package?
01:36You'd be so grateful if I was at the aisle.
01:39Let me big you up, babe.
01:41Oh, for real?
01:42Would you be happy to see me?
01:43I'd love to see you at the aisle.
01:44Yeah.
01:45Yeah.
01:45I mean, I feel the chemistry and I mean, it's going strong. How many years have you guys
01:49been together?
01:4920.
01:50Wow.
01:51We married for 16.
01:52And where was your honeymoon or where would your ideal one be if it wasn't that one?
01:57We went to Paris.
01:59I was up the duff.
02:00You was up the duff.
02:01Yeah.
02:02Maybe I wouldn't have been pregnant and that, so I could have gone on a flight to Jamaica
02:07or Maldives.
02:09No, Maldives.
02:10That's where we wanted to go.
02:11We wanted to do the Maldives.
02:13If Mass was paying, we would have definitely gone Maldives.
02:16So we've had three weddings this week, so let's talk about Abigail and John.
02:20Thoughts on these two?
02:22I feel like partly Abigail's problem is her mum, to be quite honest.
02:27Remember when you met my mum?
02:29Yeah, she was like a bit like Abigail's mum, innit?
02:31She's one step down from Abigail's mum.
02:33What are your intentions for my daughter?
02:35She said, I wanted to say, well, a bit of doggy, maybe like a bit of a missionary every
02:40now and then, but I should have said that to her.
02:45I'm glad you didn't.
02:46I should have.
02:46I should have said, that was my intentions for that week.
02:50Absolutely not.
02:51But what John did say is Abigail is exactly the kind of woman that he could fall in love with.
02:58And she is sweet.
02:59So Abigail was coming from a relationship in the past where she was seeing a man who was
03:04married.
03:05So it must have been hard for her to trust again.
03:07So I do rate her for that.
03:09And John does feel like quite a trustworthy, solid character.
03:14Yeah.
03:14Right now he does, yeah.
03:16They just feel like, to me, that they're going to last, these guys.
03:21I've really, I feel like they're already falling in love on the honeymoon.
03:26Do you think so?
03:26I think so.
03:27The massage and the way they look at your child.
03:30I do, I see it.
03:31I'm just a little worried that Abigail might have overshared a bit too much information
03:36too soon.
03:37I know she needed to like, let him know that she's coming from.
03:41That she's hurt.
03:41That she's hurt.
03:42But I just feel like it was so much bleeding details too soon.
03:46I mean, there is something beautiful about vulnerability though.
03:48We do have to go there, don't we?
03:50And actually share the good, the bad, the ugly.
03:53We've ruined the first side.
03:54Because it moves so fast, I get it.
03:56You have to be able to share your vulnerable side quite quick.
04:00And I feel like that could be a little bit of a problem.
04:03Because especially if you're on honeymoon, on honeymoon you just want to have fun.
04:07Exactly, babe.
04:09Well, let's talk about Leisha and Rhys, shall we?
04:12So Rhys was a little bit feeling that maybe Leisha was too much for him.
04:18She actually said, I am too much.
04:21You know, but there was this vibe amongst them that was very like, oh my gosh, he needed
04:29it to slow down.
04:31And she's like, come on, do you see me in your future?
04:34Like, you know, hurry up.
04:35I want to hear it all.
04:37Maybe as a type of female I am.
04:39I don't think I could be like, you know, so babes, like, you're falling for me.
04:43Two days in.
04:45You were like that.
04:46No, I was not like that.
04:48You did ask me if I was falling for you, you knew I was falling for you, so you was
04:51confident with it.
04:53Love at first sight or Leisha.
04:54Because no, he's just met her.
04:56That's three days in.
04:57He doesn't know what he wants to do with you in the next how long.
05:01Do you know what I mean?
05:02Like, he doesn't know.
05:03He doesn't even know you.
05:04He's figuring it out.
05:06He's learning if this is somebody that he wants.
05:09Because look, with Married at First Sight, you marry at first sight, and the idea is to
05:13reverse engineer that love story.
05:16Yeah.
05:16And, you know, maybe you realise that's not for you.
05:20You know, it's not a given.
05:21And he's doing it right, you know.
05:23Yeah, definitely.
05:24I think you do have to put your best foot forward.
05:27You do.
05:27So we've seen Leisha with her nieces and nephews.
05:31She loves kids.
05:31She really wants a family.
05:33It sounds like Rhys does too.
05:35Yeah, and I think Rhys one day would be a good father.
05:38And she's going to be a cool mum.
05:40She'll be good fun.
05:42Yeah, she'll be a good fun mum, innit?
05:44Yeah.
05:44Yeah, they'll be great.
05:45How funny is Rhys?
05:47I love me some Rhys.
05:49You'll never forget the back.
05:50Because someone might creep up.
05:52Yeah.
05:53What a character.
05:54Yeah.
05:55He just can't believe what he's got himself into, I think.
05:57Yeah.
05:58Yeah.
05:58This is real yin and yang.
05:59Yeah.
05:59So let's see how that journey goes.
06:03And April and Leo, the two free spiritians.
06:07I love them.
06:08I love them.
06:09Mr and Mrs Hot Dog.
06:10And I was so happy when she saw him because I wasn't sure, like, she's going to fancy him.
06:14I just didn't know.
06:15So I was really happy.
06:16The chemistry was very powerful.
06:17The chemistry was there.
06:18I think that was just a perfect match.
06:22Yes.
06:23Personally.
06:24She didn't ask for a mullet and got one.
06:26Right.
06:26And got a mullet.
06:27I know, right?
06:28You know.
06:29I am a bit nervous, but worried for him that he hasn't been in a relationship for five years.
06:34Although she would say, she did say, she said, I like that because obviously she can have him to herself.
06:40He's not tainted with a bad past.
06:42But I do think that comes with a problem for a man.
06:45Like out of practice.
06:47Yeah.
06:47He's out of practice.
06:48And that's what, when he doesn't talk much and he listens to more, she's more vocal than him.
06:54That is going to be a problem in their relationship.
06:56And I think that's because he's out of practice.
06:58Well, she loves depth.
07:00She wants his vulnerability.
07:01She wants to know what Leo's all about.
07:04Not just Mr. Hot Dog, but, you know, who are you?
07:07Yeah.
07:08He has nothing to talk about.
07:10So far.
07:12I mean, he did really acknowledge, look, this is a lot for me.
07:16You know, it will come in time.
07:18I think they're going to be a really fun couple to follow.
07:21I hope so.
07:21And I'm excited that we've got April on the couch today.
07:24Yeah, me too, because I like that.
07:25Oh, yeah.
07:26Yeah, she's cool.
07:27She's just free-spirited.
07:28I would definitely be friends with April.
07:30Me too.
07:31I was happy for her, for her happiness.
07:34Yeah.
07:35And she couldn't believe it.
07:36It was almost like she was pinching herself on her wedding night.
07:40I would agree with that.
07:41Yeah, man.
07:41I think she's just an authentic soul.
07:43And if it feels good, a dance.
07:45So meanwhile, back at the apartments, of course, some of our couples had a chance to meet up with family and friends for in-laws week.
07:52And some of them had a really positive experience.
07:55So let's talk about Grace and Ashley.
07:58What have you guys seen in this dynamic?
08:01I'm definitely glad the friends have told her.
08:02Just lighten up.
08:04Have a bit of fun.
08:05Yeah, because you're coming across a little bit to...
08:07There's too many rules, too many terms and conditions for Ashley.
08:12That's how I feel.
08:13You know, her being a feminist, that is very difficult for someone like Ashley.
08:18Who's quite traditional.
08:19Who's just traditional.
08:20He wants to pull out your chair.
08:21I feel like she'd be like, I can pull out my own chair, thanks.
08:23It's like, he just wants to grab the bill.
08:26It's like, you know, he doesn't know what to do.
08:29So I'm glad the friends are like, come on, Grace.
08:32You know, you've got the little fun time Grace version.
08:34Give him that.
08:36I felt like the sister was quite perceptive.
08:38She said, Ashley, you're apologising too much.
08:43Way too much.
08:43While you're in the space of Grace, this is not you.
08:46Yeah, yeah, yeah.
08:47So stop doing that.
08:48You know, you've got to hold your sacred ground and hold your energy in space.
08:53Yeah.
08:53So, yeah, I think they're both maybe trying to reshape themselves into each other.
09:00Look, it's just a tricky one, but I do acknowledge they're both doing their best.
09:04So let's talk about Julia Ruth and Devani, shall we?
09:09Mm-hmm.
09:10I think Julia Ruth's friends really were not impressed by Devani's response.
09:17He was feeling verbally attacked.
09:20It's not going well for these guys.
09:22Like, who behaves like that?
09:24Yeah, I know.
09:25And he just starts shouting for no reason.
09:28Yeah, I don't know.
09:29I just, I kind of feel like Julia Ruth is over Devani.
09:34She's trying.
09:35She's going to stick it out as they are.
09:37But I just feel like she's a bit over him.
09:39And when she's explained to her friends that it's not going well,
09:42they've immediately just heard it's not working.
09:46Red flag.
09:47And they've started attacking him.
09:49Yeah, straight away.
09:50They're not trying to see any good in Devani at this point.
09:53Is that what I mean?
09:53How are they going to resurrect this?
09:55And he did say it was love at first sight when he saw Julia Ruth.
09:58Because she's beautiful.
10:00She is.
10:01But they, together, they look amazing.
10:03Don't they look amazing together?
10:04They do.
10:05They look good.
10:05They do.
10:07And as we say, keep it light-hardened.
10:09Exactly.
10:10In the early stages in the hurrying.
10:11And she strikes me as somebody that, you know,
10:13she just wants to just have fun.
10:16She does.
10:16She's a blast.
10:18She is.
10:18She's divine.
10:19She is.
10:20So, yeah, a hard in-laws watch that one.
10:23For them, yeah, definitely.
10:24So let's get into the other couples, a bit of a recap.
10:28Rebecca said she's not quite ready to say I love you back to Bailey.
10:32But Kira and David told Kira's mum that they are totally in love.
10:37Nellie told her siblings that it's make or break time for her and Stephen.
10:41In-laws week, Maeve Dean asked himself if he and Sarah will really progress beyond friends.
10:48Leah has been questioning what Leah is giving to the experiment.
10:52And Maeve and Jo have been reminded that they really need to start asking the questions
10:58about what's going to happen outside the experiment.
11:01Now, is that a crate van I hear pulling up?
11:05Our bride, April, will be here very, very soon.
11:11Welcome back to Mavs UK.
11:24It's official.
11:25And now I'd like to introduce you to Mrs. Hot Dog, also known as April.
11:30Oh, it's so fabulous to see.
11:35I've worn this on your behalf because you really are a giant green flag, I've got to say.
11:39Oh, I love that.
11:40These guys are green.
11:41Absolutely.
11:41Oh, I love that.
11:42That's my favourite colour green.
11:44Is it?
11:44I have to say.
11:45Yeah, my favourite colour.
11:46Good.
11:46I hope that I stay like that.
11:47And you really got everything that you wanted in your husband.
11:52How did it feel at the end of the aisle, saying, Leo, and his mullet?
11:56And I honestly, I love a mullet.
11:58Like, I genuinely do.
11:59Yeah.
11:59Honestly, as soon as I saw the back of his head, I was like, OK.
12:02And then, yeah, he turned around.
12:03Like, everything, like, looks-wise, they delivered on.
12:06Like, when I got down there, I was thinking, oh, damn.
12:08Because I've genuinely had so many boyfriends where I haven't fancied them at the beginning
12:12and their personalities, what's there, made me fancy them.
12:15Funny gets funny.
12:17And, like, and that is that when I then got someone who I found attractive straight away,
12:22I was almost shocked by it.
12:23I didn't think that was going to happen.
12:24The chemistry was fiery.
12:26Yeah, right.
12:27Between these two straight off.
12:29And you and Leo really do share the same values, especially when it comes to freedom and travel.
12:35Would have that been a deal-breaker if Leo didn't share those values?
12:38Yeah.
12:39Yeah, definitely.
12:40I mean, at the end of the day, there's certain things you can compromise on,
12:42but if someone's, like, ready to just settle down and have, well, I do want to settle down,
12:46but, like, as in have a house or kids and stuff like that, it's just not what I want for my life.
12:50So if he didn't.
12:51At this moment.
12:51Yeah, at this moment, yeah.
12:52Do you know what I mean?
12:53So if that, I almost just, I want a travel buddy for life currently,
12:57and then maybe, maybe one day I'll get a house.
13:01And he's really all about that too.
13:02Yeah, exactly.
13:03And that was important, definitely.
13:05Entrepreneurial spirit, similar to you, freedom, fun, travel.
13:10Definitely, yeah.
13:10And, like, going throughout the day and finding more about each other and how much we had in common.
13:15Even just him doing, like, the fire twirling.
13:16Like, I've always wanted to do that.
13:17And I said, what?
13:18So that pash at the end of the eye that you guys had, what was going through your hand?
13:25I just have to ask.
13:27Oh, I just, yeah.
13:28Apparently I just let loose and just did it, forgetting that I have, you know, brothers and a dad in the audience.
13:33How did your dad feel about that?
13:34Yeah, I think he probably looked away.
13:38Nothing to see, yeah.
13:39Don't need to see that.
13:40That's one of the things I liked about it, when you lot got married.
13:43I thought, like, just seeing you happy, just genuinely like, my man's actually making, let me pinch myself.
13:49Yeah.
13:49I don't think he was expecting.
13:51No.
13:51That he was going to be, like, the full package.
13:54Yeah, absolutely not.
13:54And so it just made you, oh, I went in Rome.
13:57Yeah.
13:58Let me kiss him.
13:59Yeah, I hope so.
13:59And you just kissed.
14:00Straight in front.
14:00And that's what, it was so real and so honest.
14:02Yeah.
14:03Yeah.
14:03It just wasn't fake at all.
14:05So, I mean, Leo is very vocal that he's got two personas.
14:09There's the alter ego, Mr. Hot Dog.
14:12Oh, yeah.
14:13And there's Leo.
14:14Who do you think you saw more of on the wedding day?
14:20Probably the normal Leo, I think.
14:23Hot Dog Leo, I don't know.
14:25Who is Hot Dog Leo?
14:26I don't know.
14:26Is it Eventra?
14:28I think, yeah, I think he's, so he did the competition.
14:31Yeah, so that's what his pals just called him, the Hot Dog.
14:33Yeah, literally, yeah.
14:34But don't you want to see it?
14:36What, the Hot Dog?
14:36You want to see his Hot Dog?
14:38Let's start fighting with her.
14:40He's a married man now.
14:41Go on.
14:42You don't scrap it out.
14:44We really want to ask him.
14:45See the cheese in a bowl.
14:46See him.
14:48So, you felt that you were very much leading conversations when you were with Leo.
14:53And, I mean, you obviously love a good DNA and a deep and meaningful conversation.
14:57I do.
14:58And you've just felt there's a bit lacking there.
15:01Can you sort of speak into that?
15:03For me, conversation comes really easily.
15:05And I felt like there was a bit of a struggle sort of throughout the honeymoon for Leo to open up and for it just to be as naturally flowing as I wanted it to be.
15:15And I think where, like, on the wedding day, I was like, oh, my God, we have so much in common.
15:19We're not going to be able to stop talking about things.
15:21And, like, the fact that we both, you know, lived in Australia, the fact that we both ski or done this and travelled so much.
15:26And I was thinking there's going to be endless conversation.
15:28And maybe that's sort of like my expectations were quite high in that sense.
15:31So, then when it fell a little bit flat, I was like, oh, oh, come on.
15:35Because, I mean, you guys would say that it's so foundational to a 20-year marriage is the banter and your friendship and conversation.
15:44It's important.
15:44Misha was telling me about this before.
15:46Absolutely.
15:47It's important.
15:48Because I can see you're fun.
15:50You want to have fun.
15:51And so does he and everything.
15:52But I could also see that definitely there's the intelligent part of you that wants a good convo.
15:57That's what she kept on saying.
15:58I kept saying that, didn't it?
15:59I hope he's intelligent enough for her.
16:01I hope he can match her intelligence.
16:02Because as far as you're coming across, I know that you're definitely quite deep.
16:06Yeah.
16:07I think there might have been maybe a little, like, sprinkling, maybe him being a bit intimidated.
16:12I don't know.
16:12Because, like, where I do, like, sort of hold my own, I guess.
16:15But, yeah, I think he sort of maybe gets in his own head and is thinking, oh, I haven't been in a relationship for so long.
16:21Like, what do I do?
16:21Or he's almost trying to please me too much rather than be himself.
16:25It's difficult because I almost want to, like, squeeze him and be like, just be yourself.
16:27Like, just be, like, fool yourself.
16:29I'm never going to judge that at all.
16:30And the thing is, he's got two selves.
16:31He's got Leo and he's got hot dog.
16:34Was it hot dog Santana or hot dog Sanchez or something fancy.
16:38And I think with Leo, he's still trying to figure out who he is.
16:42Yeah, maybe.
16:43You know, we're all at different stages on our soul journey.
16:46So, well, I'd love to know at the end of the honeymoon how you actually felt about going into the apartments.
16:52I honestly was so excited.
16:53But, like, I think for me, I am such a social bunny.
16:56So I was like, oh, my God, I get to meet everyone else.
16:58And I get to, like, talk to everybody else.
17:00And I was like, this is so exciting.
17:01You really are an extreme extrovert.
17:03I am.
17:03I am.
17:03I'm, like, probably at 98% extroverted, yeah.
17:06Because at one point he admitted he is an introvert extrovert.
17:09Yeah.
17:09Which helped you get a bit more insight into who he wants.
17:13But, yeah, for you, just like, I want to process this and talk and move through it and hang out with everyone.
17:18100%.
17:19I mean, I do disagree.
17:20I don't think he's an introvert extrovert.
17:21I think he's just an introvert.
17:23Oh, really?
17:23Yeah, yeah.
17:24But you did say that's okay.
17:26Yeah.
17:26You said he's okay to be that.
17:28Yeah, 100%.
17:28Just be yourself.
17:29And I think that that was very nice of you to actually say that.
17:32Yeah, definitely.
17:33And, like, for me, I'm not, like, looking for someone to match my energy completely.
17:36Yeah, yeah.
17:36Because that would probably be quite a lot.
17:37I've dated introverts in the past and everything that.
17:39So it's more just him just being himself is what I wanted.
17:43And being able to say that.
17:45Because I think that's when you got excited.
17:47Do you know what I mean?
17:48Like, I know something about you.
17:49Yeah, yeah.
17:50Oh, my God, you've opened up.
17:51Yeah.
17:52Yeah.
17:52And then radical acceptance in that, which you do so beautifully.
17:56Yeah, definitely.
17:57So I've got a bit of a game, and it's called hot dog or not dog.
18:02So I've got a list of things here that you might do in your couple.
18:05So I need to know if you think they're hot or not by saying hot dog or not dog.
18:12All right, let's give it a go, Marcus.
18:13You take it away.
18:14Okay.
18:15Sharing a toothbrush.
18:16Not dog.
18:18You said that one.
18:19You did it.
18:20I'm glad you said that.
18:24Occasionally, you've shared toothbrushes.
18:25Never.
18:26Never, ever.
18:27I couldn't think of anything worse.
18:28I would finger brush.
18:30Rather.
18:30I'd do that.
18:31I'd not do that, honestly.
18:33Getting matching tattoos?
18:35Not dog.
18:38Yeah.
18:38I don't, yeah.
18:39I just want to keep asking you guys as well.
18:41Do you have matching tattoos?
18:42We don't, but I would.
18:43I like, I think it's really cute, but I just think I'm too cynical for that.
18:46Do you know what I mean?
18:47Because you never know what might happen.
18:48Yeah, you might.
18:49PDA, as in, you know, public displays of affection.
18:52Oh, hot dog.
18:52Yeah.
18:53Did you see me at the wedding?
18:54Yeah.
18:54Yeah.
18:55Yeah.
18:55100%.
18:56Yeah.
18:56Skinny dipping.
18:58Hot dog.
18:58Yeah.
18:59Hell yeah.
18:59I love the confidence of being able to run around naked.
19:02I do really like a speedo as well.
19:04And I think you've got to be confident to have your wang out on show, for sure.
19:08I agree.
19:08Leaving the bathroom door open.
19:12Depends what you're doing.
19:15Is it a one?
19:16Is it a two?
19:17Is it makeup?
19:17Is it, you know.
19:18A hot, steamy shower together.
19:20Oh, yeah.
19:21It's content.
19:22Probably, probably not dog, but only because, like, to keep, you know, keep the magic alive
19:27a little bit.
19:27Mullets.
19:29Hot dog.
19:30I love a mullet.
19:31Really?
19:32You're not just saying that?
19:33I honestly do.
19:35For real?
19:35Yeah, I honestly do.
19:36That's why you love Australia.
19:38Yeah.
19:38Half the blokes have mullets.
19:39Honestly, a mullet and a moustache.
19:41Oh.
19:42Honestly, a 70s porn style moustache.
19:44I don't know what it does to me, but it does weird things.
19:46I love it.
19:47I love it.
19:47You're a mullet.
19:48It's somebody for everyone, isn't it?
19:49Yeah, isn't it?
19:51So that is our game of hot dog or not dog wrapped up.
19:54But what I would love to do is our commitment ceremony.
19:57Oh, yes.
19:58I've got a pretty good track record.
19:59But I'm going to ask you guys, stay or leave.
20:03Grab a pen.
20:04Pass it down.
20:05Yeah.
20:07Yeah.
20:07Are we going to keep this day rolling or are you guys ready to get out of here?
20:12I would just firstly like to say, you know, I've had a fantastic time.
20:15You know, I felt really listened to, really understood and, you know, really had a good
20:20chance to participate with you all.
20:22We see you.
20:22You're ready to get out of here.
20:25I've chosen to leave.
20:27Why?
20:28I mean, there comes a time in a girl's life where she needs to do other things with her
20:31day, you know?
20:32You're a busy lady.
20:33I get it.
20:34I am indeed.
20:34You're a busy lady.
20:35Misha's out of here.
20:36How about you, Marco?
20:37Okay.
20:37So because we are here and I'm just thinking like, I've had a wonderful time and I've just
20:42really got to know you and I just love you on TV.
20:45I just thought you was amazing and you are just such a perfect host.
20:48Bless you.
20:48I just thought I would love to stay.
20:51We're keeping Marcus and Misha's going.
20:54And how about you, gorgeous April?
20:56Well, you guys are couple goals.
20:59Yes, you are.
21:00You're just human goals.
21:01Like, I love you so much.
21:04So much it hurts.
21:05So I 1,000% want to stay.
21:07Please absolutely stay.
21:09Yes.
21:10We've got an absolute day.
21:13Awesome.
21:14Oh, it's been such a delight.
21:16Yeah.
21:16Thank you so much.
21:17What a week it's been.
21:19We're pumped to see the journey that unravels for you as Mrs. Hot Dog.
21:23Oh, God.
21:24Thank you so much, Marcus, Misha and April for joining me today.
21:29Soon we'll be finding out how our new arrivals will change the group dynamics as we're heading
21:35into what looks like a very spicy dinner party.
21:39I'll be back next week with Donna Preston and we'll have another one of our newlyweds on
21:44the sofa to give us all the exclusives about Married Life.
21:47Before we go, I need you to remember nothing in life is worth fighting for.
