00:00:35Primrose Hill, enjoying the views.
00:00:39Beautiful.
00:00:40Enjoying the company.
00:00:42Life is good.
00:00:42♪ Can you feel that, can you feel that coming through? ♪
00:00:46♪ Can you feel that, can you feel that coming through? ♪
00:00:51I'm pretty nervous about today.
00:00:52Maybe it's because my world coming into yours, in a way.
00:00:57Colliding.
00:00:58Yeah.
00:00:59Yeah.
00:01:00What about you, how are you feeling?
00:01:01I don't know.
00:01:02I started off in the morning saying,
00:01:03letting go of the outcome,
00:01:05and I'm like back to square one of like...
00:01:08Of like, uh-oh.
00:01:09Yeah, I don't know.
00:01:10Yeah, a bit nervous.
00:01:11I mean, a bit is an understatement, if I'm honest.
00:01:13Oh, really?
00:01:14You know when you're so nervous
00:01:15that you're kind of almost like, just...
00:01:17A bit sick?
00:01:18Yeah.
00:01:18I think it's more the unknown of how it's gonna go, you know?
00:01:21Yeah.
00:01:22It was difficult leaving the pods,
00:01:26because I lost, obviously, you.
00:01:28So I went to Germany.
00:01:31I think it was tough for my mum and sister
00:01:32to see me like that.
00:01:33I was pretty upset.
00:01:36You know, it was like really tough.
00:01:39Tough few days.
00:01:42And they may bring that up.
00:01:45I've never felt more nervous
00:01:47about meeting a person's family and relatives.
00:01:52I hurt them.
00:01:54So I'm expecting a grilling about Sam.
00:01:57Are you ready?
00:01:59No, I'm not ready, actually.
00:02:00Ready?
00:02:02I know he values his mum's opinion.
00:02:04I know he values his sister's opinion.
00:02:07Hello.
00:02:07Hello.
00:02:08Obviously, they care.
00:02:09They're coming from a protective place.
00:02:11Oh, it's so good to see you.
00:02:13I feel like, personally, it's a make or break.
00:02:18Hello.
00:02:18How are you?
00:02:19Wie geht es dir?
00:02:20Wie geht es gut, danke.
00:02:23Nicole, meet mum and sister.
00:02:25Nice to meet you guys.
00:02:26Nice to meet you.
00:02:27They have names.
00:02:28Gabby and Eliza.
00:02:29Okay, Eliza.
00:02:30Gabby.
00:02:31Yeah, okay.
00:02:32Would you like to take a seat?
00:02:37Get started on this feast.
00:02:38Yes.
00:02:40Lovely, thank you.
00:02:43Baked from scratch.
00:02:45Help yourselves.
00:02:46Crack on.
00:02:47Help yourself.
00:02:48What do you want?
00:02:50I think I'll start with the tuna thingy.
00:02:52What was that?
00:02:52Tuna, that's a good question.
00:02:54Is it this side?
00:02:55I can go for one of these.
00:02:59How have you two been?
00:03:01Good.
00:03:02Yeah.
00:03:03You know, like, yeah, we've...
00:03:04Yeah, I mean, surreal, huh?
00:03:06Yeah.
00:03:07The whole experience has just been...
00:03:09I mean, you know, because I came back from the pods,
00:03:10you know?
00:03:11Yes, you did.
00:03:14I thought, oh no, what happened?
00:03:16And it was really, wasn't it?
00:03:18It was just, oh, mum.
00:03:20And you know when all the emotions come out?
00:03:22He couldn't eat.
00:03:24We've never seen him in a state like that, have we?
00:03:26No.
00:03:27No.
00:03:27He couldn't really talk to him either.
00:03:31He just thought, so, have I done the right thing?
00:03:34And I just wanted to do right for you.
00:03:38And I'm thinking, oh gosh.
00:03:42I think there's some level of me,
00:03:44I need to take some ownership here to apologise.
00:03:47You know, I don't want to, you know,
00:03:49I don't want to feel like anyone has any disgruntlements
00:03:52or any reservations about me.
00:03:55Putting aside Ben, like, it was clear to me
00:03:58it just wasn't right with Sam.
00:04:01It wasn't a good situation.
00:04:03I don't think it was healthy.
00:04:05I think it's hard.
00:04:06You do probably see that as well.
00:04:08Now you know Ben is the right one.
00:04:11I want to know more about you.
00:04:13Oh good, that's good.
00:04:14Don't ask me about anything.
00:04:16Go on, anything.
00:04:17I'll be honest, I was married before.
00:04:20Were you?
00:04:20Yeah.
00:04:21Yeah.
00:04:22And that was three years ago, so since then I've just,
00:04:26I stayed single for three years.
00:04:28Yeah, I can understand that.
00:04:29Working on myself.
00:04:30It's been such an intense experience.
00:04:32Have there been arguments, or has it been plain sailing?
00:04:35Um, do you want to answer?
00:04:38No, you clapped on both.
00:04:40No, there's been a, yeah.
00:04:41It's been mainly about, you know,
00:04:44No, there's been a, yeah.
00:04:46It's been mainly about, I think, Sam's situation.
00:04:56You're so sheepish.
00:04:58I had to say what I had to say to him.
00:05:00Like, I had to call him out.
00:05:02You can't keep things in, you have to say it to him.
00:05:03And then he said a few more not-so-nice things about you.
00:05:07Yeah.
00:05:08You saw through him straight away, really, didn't you?
00:05:10Yeah, yeah.
00:05:12Hearing how he is from Ben,
00:05:15didn't you have in the back of your head,
00:05:16oh, maybe he's not as genuine?
00:05:21Yeah, no, I, no, I did, I did.
00:05:25The Sam thing, I think there's an element
00:05:26of still different experiences with him,
00:05:31which probably affect me more than they affect you.
00:05:33I don't want to go into the details,
00:05:36but I know, I know, I know the guy.
00:05:39I know what I saw of him.
00:05:41Probably seeing that little bit of good that might be there.
00:05:45I just want to get rid of the situation and move on, isn't it?
00:05:48And then maybe you should do the same.
00:05:50Move on from it.
00:05:52Yeah.
00:05:53You learn more, we learn so much from those conflicts.
00:05:56Can only get stronger from it, really.
00:05:58Exactly.
00:05:59We're both very, I think, analytical and look at,
00:06:01and, like, assess everything.
00:06:04But how do you know he's the one?
00:06:06I think, for me, what I realised in Ben was that
00:06:11he always wants to be a better version of himself,
00:06:13and that's, to me, very special, you know?
00:06:16And I've never had anyone look out for me the way he has.
00:06:22What was the proposal like?
00:06:24Which one?
00:06:27Which one?
00:06:29Too soon, guys, too soon.
00:06:30Too soon, too soon.
00:06:33I'm so good.
00:06:35Right, go on.
00:06:36Oh, God, right now, too soon.
00:06:38I've never seen him like this.
00:06:40Even with ex, like, partners.
00:06:42Mm.
00:06:43Never, yeah.
00:06:44It's refreshing.
00:06:45Yeah, it is.
00:06:46It's a good sign.
00:06:47You guys.
00:06:51It's amazing what a scum can do.
00:07:07I have to say, you guys look so together, though.
00:07:09You did it, you really did it.
00:07:10OK.
00:07:12I thought you'd be really, really pale.
00:07:14Really pale?
00:07:15I have just been on holiday.
00:07:18What do you do for a living?
00:07:19Don't know what I'm asking.
00:07:20Why are you laughing?
00:07:21What, what's funny?
00:07:22Why is that funny?
00:07:23What should I not ask?
00:07:24Is it something?
00:07:25No, I'm a funeral director.
00:07:27Funeral, sorry, what's that?
00:07:28Funeral.
00:07:30A funeral director?
00:07:31OK, fine, yeah.
00:07:33Yeah.
00:07:34Yeah.
00:07:34Fine.
00:07:35Yeah.
00:07:36So, you know, in that industry, is it a little bit...
00:07:40No, I love the job.
00:07:41..sad?
00:07:41No, it's not sad.
00:07:43Obviously, yeah, obviously, yeah, I'm looking after,
00:07:45you know, people during the most difficult time of their lives.
00:07:48It's sad, yeah, it is sad.
00:07:51But you've just got to support the family, so.
00:07:52I think that's why you are the way you are.
00:07:54Like, part of you.
00:07:55Yeah, no, it probably is, yeah.
00:07:56It takes a certain human.
00:07:58How's wedding planning going?
00:08:00Stressful.
00:08:02Yeah, you're getting stressed.
00:08:03I get so stressed.
00:08:05No, it's going to be, it'll be a nice day regardless.
00:08:08Do you feel in your heart and your head,
00:08:09do you feel that's what you guys want?
00:08:11You want to get married?
00:08:12Or is there a few things that you want to work on first?
00:08:16I might actually let you answer that.
00:08:18Well, yeah, pretty good first.
00:08:19Yeah, obviously, I've formed this connection with Kat,
00:08:22and yeah, I do love her.
00:08:25And ultimately, yeah, I do want to marry the girl.
00:08:28Yeah.
00:08:29Are there any doubts at the moment?
00:08:32Doubts are just that we are different
00:08:35in some aspects as well, I think.
00:08:38I feel like I'm a bit more chilled than Kat,
00:08:40and I know Kat tells me,
00:08:42oh, you know, I'm not about going out
00:08:43and going to bougie places and doing all this.
00:08:45I say I go to bougie places.
00:08:47No, I know, but that.
00:08:48I say I go with the girl.
00:08:49Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:08:50Like, that's like our treat.
00:08:51Bougie brunches.
00:08:52Yeah, like, that's what we do.
00:08:53Yeah, and don't get me wrong,
00:08:54I love going out, you know, for a meal every now and then.
00:08:56But you don't drink and you don't go out.
00:08:57Yeah, I'm not like.
00:08:58So do you think Kat is high maintenance?
00:09:00Yeah, I do a little bit, yeah.
00:09:01I think she is a bit, yeah.
00:09:02Yeah.
00:09:04Yeah.
00:09:07I do worry that our lifestyles are a little bit different.
00:09:09That is doubtful.
00:09:10But though, is that okay, though?
00:09:11Because if, say, you think Kat is like that weight,
00:09:14is that okay?
00:09:15No, I don't think so,
00:09:16because I think that I would not satisfy her.
00:09:21Well, really, like, stuff you say sometimes,
00:09:22I know you've said, oh, yeah, I've been here,
00:09:24I've been there, oh, I've been there,
00:09:25and I've been to this club, and I've done this,
00:09:28I've been to Ocean Beach, I've done this.
00:09:29And I'm thinking, I've never sort of dated a girl like that.
00:09:33And without, without.
00:09:34A girl like that?
00:09:35Yeah.
00:09:36It's annoying, because you have lived with me now
00:09:38for quite a while,
00:09:39and you think I eat in, like, no-boo every day.
00:09:42I don't know what that is.
00:09:43Do you know what, I'll give you some advice, Freddie.
00:09:44I think, stop worrying,
00:09:46because Kat doesn't do it every day.
00:09:48And this is the first time you have vocalised
00:09:49this whole materialistic side of me.
00:09:52I don't live this life,
00:09:54and it's starting to piss me off.
00:10:00Like, if you're doubting this now,
00:10:02like, you're going to doubt it in months' time.
00:10:04Yeah, I get...
00:10:05I'm proving myself day in, day out,
00:10:08and I feel like you're literally now picking on me.
00:10:14Do you want to get another drink as well?
00:10:15Yeah, I'll grab one, yeah.
00:10:23So, opinions?
00:10:26I think he seems like a really nice guy.
00:10:30He's worrying a lot, isn't he?
00:10:31Yeah, we're talking about, obviously, you know,
00:10:34when we get married, if we get married,
00:10:35and he's decided he wants a prenup.
00:10:40Really?
00:10:41Really.
00:10:44Should I be worried?
00:10:47For me, it's a bit controlling.
00:10:49Really?
00:10:50Yeah.
00:10:51Yeah.
00:10:54Maybe it's because you're still...
00:10:56Quite early days.
00:10:57Yes.
00:10:58So, he said the house will go to his sister.
00:11:00Oh, really?
00:11:01So, what's in the contract, though?
00:11:02That's the thing.
00:11:03If you do a prenup, so everything will go to your sister.
00:11:06So, you're effectively screwed.
00:11:08So, in the prenup, you've got nothing of you in there?
00:11:11I don't think so.
00:11:12I don't like that.
00:11:13You don't like that?
00:11:14No.
00:11:15No, I don't like that.
00:11:16No.
00:11:18Say, like, in 20 years' time,
00:11:20you're absolutely happy married, love the guy.
00:11:22Yeah, I'm screwed.
00:11:23You've got two kids.
00:11:24Can you change a prenup?
00:11:25No.
00:11:26That worries me, that you never know
00:11:29what life brings at you, and...
00:11:31I'm always going to be your next show.
00:11:32Do you think that's a sign, then,
00:11:34that he's already thinking about potentially separating?
00:11:39He's planning...
00:11:40It's giving it an easier option, isn't it?
00:11:42Yeah.
00:11:46That's just made me, like, my head is, like...
00:11:49I don't know.
00:11:53Despite that little blip, like, he is,
00:11:55like, you know, he is...
00:11:56I've never met a guy like him, like, genuinely.
00:11:58He is brilliant.
00:12:00But are we planning a wedding together, or are we not?
00:12:04Like, are you going to say I do,
00:12:05or are you going to say I don't?
00:12:07I think you both just need to reassure each other,
00:12:09it sounds like, to see if you're on the same page,
00:12:11because at the moment,
00:12:12I think you're on, like, completely different boots.
00:12:17The two of them look absolutely gorgeous together,
00:12:19and I think he's actually a really lovely guy, Freddie.
00:12:22I would 100% be supportive of the relationship,
00:12:25but could he match her lifestyle?
00:12:30You know, Kat is not a house hermit,
00:12:31and I felt he very much was.
00:12:33He's very much, like, sit at home,
00:12:36beans on toast sort of thing.
00:12:37You know, what's your heart telling you, Kat?
00:12:39Can you see a future with him?
00:12:41And I just think, in my heart,
00:12:43that it probably won't work, I'll be honest.
00:12:53It means a lot, like, your lives are both coming out.
00:12:58I was just hoping that you two would see in her
00:13:01what I see in her.
00:13:02I think she's an absolute sweetie pie. Yeah.
00:13:04She's just so lovely, she's honest.
00:13:07She's got so many wonderful qualities.
00:13:10Easygoing, open, lovely smile.
00:13:13She gets your approval, the seal of approval.
00:13:15Certainly, 100%, 110%.
00:13:17Cool, now I can breathe.
00:13:20It's almost like we're relieved as well,
00:13:24you know, and seeing you so happy now.
00:13:27There's that happiness in there.
00:13:28Yeah, that fire alive again.
00:13:30Yeah, and that, as a mother, that is just...
00:13:33Couldn't wish for more.
00:13:34Aw.
00:13:37Yeah, good luck to you both.
00:13:38Thank you. From the bottom of my heart.
00:13:40Aw.
00:13:41Bye, I love you, Mum.
00:13:42I love you too.
00:13:43It's not long now until the wedding,
00:13:45and the further along we get,
00:13:47the better, the lighter I feel with everything going forward
00:13:50as potentially husband and wife.
00:13:53Yeah, OK.
00:13:55We'll talk to Mum a bit, won't we?
00:14:03When he came back to Germany,
00:14:06and it hadn't gone the way he wanted it to,
00:14:10that hurt seeing how he was.
00:14:12I've said to her in the past as well with exes,
00:14:14I was like, I knew she wasn't the right one for you.
00:14:18But with you, I've got a good feeling.
00:14:19Really? I do.
00:14:21Do you? Oh, my dear.
00:14:23Thank you so much.
00:14:26Honestly, it makes me feel so much better
00:14:29that you have confidence in his decision.
00:14:32I mean, I don't know you, but I feel like I do.
00:14:35Thank you. Oh, me too.
00:14:37I was like, yeah!
00:14:39I honestly love him so much.
00:14:41Yeah, and I can see that as well.
00:14:42You put his needs first as well,
00:14:44whereas sometimes in the past, his needs haven't been met.
00:14:48Because he is a nomad, like, he can't stay still.
00:14:51We never know when he'll be back.
00:14:56Ben's family gave me the validation I need
00:15:00to tick another stumbling block for me saying I do, you know?
00:15:05A lot of people are, oh, he has to settle down.
00:15:08They don't understand that that's his lifestyle.
00:15:12I don't know if he could change it.
00:15:15But I'm conscious of the mistakes that were made
00:15:18from my first marriage.
00:15:19That's what I'm afraid of.
00:15:21Like, can he really commit to marriage?
00:15:26To what extent will he feel trapped?
00:15:31I am very protective of him.
00:15:35And...
00:15:37And I've seen him get hurt a lot.
00:15:39Yeah.
00:15:41But if you both feel it's right, then go for it.
00:15:47Yeah, we won't, won't give, give up.
00:15:52We fight on.
00:15:55Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
00:15:58We fight on.
00:16:01Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
00:16:03Big day today, huh?
00:16:05Are you looking forward to meeting my family?
00:16:07Yeah. I can handle it.
00:16:09I know you can.
00:16:10You're going to, like, pass that test with flying colours.
00:16:13I already know. Yeah, of course.
00:16:21All right? You look good.
00:16:23Thank you. You too.
00:16:24Sexy. Thank you. Love the dress.
00:16:27You feeling nervous?
00:16:29For the first time, I am feeling slightly nervous.
00:16:32I know it's a big night.
00:16:33I know how important your mum is to you. What about you?
00:16:35I mean, I am quite nervous, purely for the fact that
00:16:38she's very protective over me.
00:16:41She's quite sceptical.
00:16:42She just wants to know that, you know, for the genuine reasons.
00:16:46And I know you are, but you need to tell her that.
00:16:49Mm. Yeah.
00:16:51The one thing I am certain of is, you know,
00:16:53my feelings towards you and our connection.
00:16:57I guess what I would say about my mum is she's a straight shooter.
00:17:01I mean, even growing up, I never introduced anyone to my mum.
00:17:04You know, this is the mum that used to go through my call log
00:17:07and call each and every single mobile number.
00:17:11And if it was a boy, she would block them on my phone
00:17:14and tell them to never speak to me again.
00:17:17She may say some things that are a bit hurtful at times,
00:17:21but that's just how she is.
00:17:23She wants to make sure that the person that's going to be my husband
00:17:26is going to be looking after me.
00:17:30Listen, my mum's like an FBI detective, MI5, the whole nine.
00:17:35So she would have done a full background check.
00:17:37She'll, like, analyse body language.
00:17:39But we can't hide shit.
00:17:41Let's just be real, let's be honest with where we're at,
00:17:44what our plans are for the future, cos she'd want to know that.
00:17:47I'm feeling a little bit worried.
00:17:49This is being a big build-up.
00:17:51I know that it's a huge moment,
00:17:53especially knowing how much she wants to protect Jasmine.
00:17:56I've got to really make sure that I don't mess it up.
00:18:00Of course, I know that I'm not here to hurt you.
00:18:02But now I get why she's going to ask the difficult questions.

00:18:24Sister!
00:18:26Hello! Come on in.
00:18:29Hello. I'm really looking forward to seeing my sisters today.
00:18:32They're awesome and I'm sure they're going to get on with Maria
00:18:34really well. You only brought one bottle?
00:18:36Yeah.
00:18:38Onya and Megan are both my dad's kids, so they're my half-sisters.
00:18:42So their opinion means a lot to me.
00:18:43They've met a few of my exes over the years,
00:18:46some of which they've liked and some of which they haven't.
00:18:48Hi!
00:18:50Maria. Hi, nice to meet you.
00:18:52Aw! These are my sisters!
00:18:56Yeah, you guys all right?
00:18:58Yeah. Yeah?
00:19:00Where do you want me?
00:19:02You two go there, I'll go there.
00:19:05Thanks for the wine. Yeah, thank you.
00:19:07I need a glass now.
00:19:09Yeah, I'll bet you do. Are you hungry?
00:19:11Do you want to eat straight away? Happy to, yeah.
00:19:13Depends on what you've cooked.
00:19:15There you go. This is delicious plastered baked gums.
00:19:18Thank you. Thanks.
00:19:22There you go, dear.
00:19:24Ooh, me first, thanks.
00:19:26Maria and this family, we actually say grace.
00:19:29And I would like you to lead the prayer.
00:19:31There we go.
00:19:34So, you were dating behind this pod thing?
00:19:37We've been talking to each other every day
00:19:39for, like, two weeks, you know?
00:19:41I just think the whole thing is crazy.
00:19:43Yeah, it is crazy. It is crazy, for sure.
00:19:45When I say to people, like, oh, you know,
00:19:47you fell for someone behind a wall,
00:19:49and they're like, what? That's crazy.
00:19:51And I'm like, but I think that's really lovely.
00:19:53Like, you fell for someone for the right reason.
00:19:55But did you think that before you did it?
00:19:57Yeah. Oh, you did? OK, did you?
00:19:59Yeah, no, I thought falling for someone
00:20:01without seeing what they look like
00:20:04It sounds so cliche, but I just feel like we had a connection.
00:20:06Yeah. It's not, like, tangible,
00:20:08but it's just sort of, like, how you feel when you go in there.
00:20:10Yeah. I felt really comfortable with you,
00:20:12and you made me laugh. Yeah.
00:20:14Would you say love is blind?
00:20:16Yeah.
00:20:18I went into it with a lot of cynicism,
00:20:20but it has been, like, life-changing.
00:20:24We've had a couple of disagreements and stuff,
00:20:26quite big ones, but...
00:20:28Disagreements about, like, just general things, or, like...
00:20:30I feel like I've been raised a certain way,
00:20:32and so I expect, like, a man to behave in a certain way,
00:20:34especially in the beginning of a relationship.
00:20:36And so, like, the first time
00:20:38we ever went out,
00:20:40we went to get ice cream,
00:20:42and Tom was comfortable with me paying,
00:20:44and I felt like I saw that as, like,
00:20:46our first date in the real world,
00:20:48like our first little outing.
00:20:50You said you just didn't think about it.
00:20:52No, I didn't think about it.
00:20:54That's exactly, I think, what the...
00:20:56Yeah. Yeah.
00:20:59It just didn't pop into your head. No.
00:21:01It's just an ice cream.
00:21:03I hate to say this,
00:21:05but I think it's the case for a lot of people.
00:21:07With my culture and our background,
00:21:09the men is always sort of seen
00:21:11as the provider.
00:21:13Maria's Muslim and her family as well,
00:21:15like, that's very new to me. Yeah.
00:21:17And I need to make sure that my husband
00:21:19is going to be able to look after me and the children.
00:21:21And that's how my dad was,
00:21:23that's how all my uncles have been,
00:21:25so that's when I need to make sure that you have us.
00:21:28So, the whole living together,
00:21:30do you see that working?
00:21:32At first, we spoke about me moving into Tom's place.
00:21:34Yeah.
00:21:36But I am not 100% comfortable
00:21:38paying someone else's mortgage,
00:21:40if I'm being completely honest.
00:21:44But you... Yeah.
00:21:46We can talk about that.
00:21:48You never know what's going to happen.
00:21:50Like, if we're together for four, five, six years
00:21:52and then we end, I've just ended up paying, like,
00:21:54a huge amount of his mortgage,
00:21:56it's like, happy day, see you later.
00:21:58Maria's saying, you know,
00:22:00she doesn't want to contribute to Tom's mortgage.
00:22:02I kind of understand that.
00:22:04But then maybe that's her saying
00:22:06that she has doubts in her mind.
00:22:08You can't marry someone
00:22:10without knowing where you stand
00:22:12with those financial things.
00:22:14Money is the statistical reason why most people divorce.
00:22:16My view on the money stuff
00:22:18is, like, we're not compatible
00:22:20on, like, the basic lifestyle stuff.
00:22:22You know, I'm always about equality.
00:22:24Mm.
00:22:26The worry is that that's quite a big thing
00:22:28and there'll probably be other big things
00:22:30that we haven't had the time yet to address.
00:22:32I think we're good with, like, in terms of that kind of stuff.
00:22:34Yeah. We've been very realistic.
00:22:36It wouldn't be a relationship
00:22:38if we were just good all the time.
00:22:40Exactly. Yeah.
00:22:42I don't know. Obviously, you've both chosen
00:22:44to go into this for a reason.
00:22:46Yeah. And I hope it works out.
00:22:48Thank you. Thank you, mate.
00:22:50You seem very natural and I love you.
00:22:52No, seriously, like...
00:22:54I just want to say cheers to family.
00:22:56It's genuinely the most important thing in your life, you know?
00:22:58The wedding is fast approaching
00:23:00and there are a lot of hurdles,
00:23:02you know, around our values,
00:23:04particularly the finance stuff.
00:23:06You know, I want to be absolutely certain.
00:23:08And I know she does as well.
00:23:10We love each other and it means so much
00:23:12to both of us, so...
00:23:14Cheers.

00:23:28I'm here.
00:23:30Hello.
00:23:32Hi.
00:23:34Hi, darling.
00:23:36Hi, Freddie.
00:23:38Hi.
00:23:40It's really good to see you.
00:23:42Nice to meet you.
00:23:44Hi.
00:23:46How you doing? You good?
00:23:48Fine, thank you.
00:23:50So here we are.
00:23:52You've seen me now. Yeah.
00:23:54Come through, come through.
00:23:56I'm really excited that my family are coming today.
00:23:58A lot rides on this.
00:24:00I'm hoping when Freddie meets
00:24:02my parents, it's clarity.
00:24:04Freddie needs to work out if he's 100%.
00:24:06I don't want him to have
00:24:08these doubts coming so close to the wedding.
00:24:10And if there's no connection
00:24:12with my parents and Freddie,
00:24:14then that's a deal-breaker on both sides.
00:24:16Today's a big day.
00:24:18Is Freddie what you thought it's going to be like?
00:24:20Looking like?
00:24:22No. No. No.
00:24:24It's funny how you build a picture in your head.
00:24:26What did you think? I don't know.
00:24:28I always imagine blonde hair. I don't know.
00:24:30Everyone said skinny blonde guy.
00:24:32You still happy I'm in the experiment?
00:24:34Yeah. I mean, you seem happy, hopefully.
00:24:36You look a lot happier.
00:24:38A lot happier? Yeah.
00:24:40Cos I'm not loving it.
00:24:42Thank you. We love you.
00:24:44I'm not doing the dishes every five minutes.
00:24:46Oh, I do miss that.
00:24:50Whilst we're on the subject, what was she like when she was a kid?
00:24:52What was she like growing up?
00:24:54She was always a very happy child.
00:24:56Never one to... I can't just sit down?
00:24:58No. You'd never find her in a corner
00:25:00reading a book anywhere, actually.
00:25:02Active. That's the word.
00:25:04Yeah, she was always very... But then she had lots of...
00:25:06Activity. Yeah, cos you were
00:25:08on your own. You were an only child, weren't you?
00:25:10I had a bit of a
00:25:12different upbringing to her,
00:25:14in a generic way, I guess. She was adopted.
00:25:16The thing that amazed me
00:25:18when we went to pick Catherine up,
00:25:20I thought,
00:25:22gosh, this poor baby's not going to know who we are.
00:25:24Is she going to be OK?
00:25:26Will she take to us OK?
00:25:28Cos she was still 11 weeks at that time
00:25:30and she just didn't stop smiling.
00:25:32And that was it. She never stopped.
00:25:34She was just a perfect baby. She was really good.
00:25:36Perfect. Perfect baby. Perfect.
00:25:38Perfect baby. We don't know what happened.
00:25:40Yeah.
00:25:42And so, obviously, you know,
00:25:44we just wanted to be happy and want the best
00:25:46for her.
00:25:48How are you finding it all?
00:25:50You know, I sort of
00:25:52come into it thinking, you know,
00:25:54I hope to find somebody.
00:25:56But I didn't realise
00:25:58I'd feel all these emotions.
00:26:00So I met Kat and
00:26:02we formed this deep connection.
00:26:04Through a wall. Yeah.
00:26:06Yeah, so that fascinates me.
00:26:08Since the pods, we've had ups and downs.
00:26:10To tell the truth, we have. We have had little disagreements.
00:26:12Yeah, we've not argued.
00:26:14We've not argued. That's normal.
00:26:16You're two just totally different people.
00:26:18I just want to be 100% sure
00:26:20for Kat
00:26:22that I'm ready to sort of say
00:26:24yeah, I do.
00:26:26You're worried that you're not good enough
00:26:28and you're worried that, like, your lifestyle
00:26:30and my lifestyle are different.
00:26:32Which is not true.
00:26:34There's a few things that
00:26:36I need to sort of work on
00:26:38and clarify in my mind.
00:26:40I just want it to be right.
00:26:42I want to be 100%.
00:26:44I don't want to get divorced.
00:26:46It's a big leap. Yeah.
00:26:48It is. But you will never know
00:26:50the outcome.
00:26:52It's a chance you take.
00:26:54I just want it to be perfect. I want it to be right.
00:26:56Like, she's a great girl.
00:26:58I mean, I feel better now I've met you.
00:27:00Oh, 100 times better.
00:27:02Oh, that's nice.
00:27:04Yeah, I do. I just feel I just wanted to see
00:27:06how we work together.
00:27:08If you're both happy, because that's
00:27:10obviously really important.
00:27:12And how do you feel about us?
00:27:14I think for me it's really important
00:27:16that you have a relationship with...
00:27:18I wanted a relationship with yourselves as well.
00:27:20So that's really important to me.
00:27:22Yeah. Oh, that's good.
00:27:24That's good. I'm pleased.
00:27:26I'm just trying to be honest throughout.
00:27:28But I know that me being in this limbo
00:27:30of I don't know, I know it's hurting her.
00:27:32And that's why I'm trying to sort of
00:27:34push to one side
00:27:36the wedding and just focus on us.
00:27:38I've always believed in
00:27:40what's in your heart
00:27:42is the most important thing.
00:27:44You have to follow your heart,
00:27:46not the head.
00:27:48Yeah.
00:27:50How do you feel in your heart?
00:27:52Yeah, I'm happy.
00:27:54I feel...
00:27:56My feelings for Kat are real.
00:27:58I do care a lot about her.
00:28:00She means a lot to me.
00:28:02I've developed with her our tree.
00:28:04Oh, good.
00:28:06I want you to know that whatever happens
00:28:08throughout our relationship,
00:28:10I promise that I'll love her
00:28:12and I'll be there by her side if she wants me to be.
00:28:14So, yeah.
00:28:16I'll be honest with you.
00:28:18For marriage, you have to work
00:28:20as a team.
00:28:22They're never easy.
00:28:24Never easy.
00:28:26I've been married 35 years.
00:28:28Yeah.
00:28:30You have to be open, open-minded
00:28:32all the time.
00:28:34And that's what's so fun.
00:28:36Yeah.
00:28:38Kat's mum and dad are really nice.
00:28:40I'm just happy they like me
00:28:42and it's sort of like I've been welcomed
00:28:44as part of the family.
00:28:46I'm learning more and more about her
00:28:48and I have taken on board what her dad said
00:28:50and it's given me the reassurance
00:28:52that I want to pursue my life with her
00:28:54and see where it leads.
00:28:56Just enjoy every day.
00:28:58Your personalities
00:29:00remind me so much of Dad and I.
00:29:02I literally said this.
00:29:04I said...
00:29:06It's just relief, I think.
00:29:08It's just so nice to see you both
00:29:10because he reminds me so much of...
00:29:12He's very laid-back like your dad, isn't he?
00:29:14I've been saying that.
00:29:16And I'm the one that will worry about things
00:29:18and your dad says,
00:29:20so I get the reassurance from him.
00:29:22So that's how I look at the two of you
00:29:24and think...
00:29:26I think you'd be good together.
00:29:28You've got a good blend.
00:29:30When Freddie says no at the Ultra
00:29:32and I'm very unaware,
00:29:34I don't know if I could move past that.
00:29:36I think that's going to be hard.
00:29:38I hope this has helped
00:29:40but it's just putting me on edge.
00:29:42I want to be excited
00:29:44for the wedding
00:29:46but I don't know if there's going to be one.
00:29:48You've got to let him have that space
00:29:50to think about it and he'll come to the right decision.
00:29:52I'm definitely going to
00:29:54take on my mum's advice.
00:29:56Now that he's met my parents, I feel uplifted.
00:29:58I see myself getting married to Freddie
00:30:00and I want to go down that aisle
00:30:02saying I do
00:30:04but I need to just step back
00:30:06and let him do it without the pressure
00:30:08and just let it happen
00:30:10because I think that it will happen
00:30:12if it just happens organically.
00:30:16Do you vision him at home
00:30:18on a Sunday?
00:30:20Yeah, I can.
00:30:22And you're welcome to our mad family any time.
00:30:24Of course.
00:30:28She's a good girl.
00:30:48Hello!
00:30:52Hi!
00:30:58I missed you.
00:31:08Don't cry.
00:31:10Don't make me cry.
00:31:12How are you doing?
00:31:14Oh, nice to meet you.
00:31:16Welcome. Come in.
00:31:18You look gorgeous, mum.
00:31:20So are you.
00:31:22Do you want to come in?
00:31:28Now I know where Jasmine gets
00:31:30the good looks from.
00:31:32I've been really looking forward
00:31:34to meeting you.
00:31:36I don't know what to say.
00:31:38Don't worry.
00:31:40I'm, like, shocked.
00:31:42I'm in a shock.
00:31:44Don't worry.
00:31:46Are you hungry?
00:31:48But I probably
00:31:50won't be able to eat much.
00:31:52Shall we sit down?
00:31:54Perfect.
00:32:02Here we are.
00:32:04So, what made you think
00:32:06that, oh, this is the girl
00:32:08for me?
00:32:10When I came into this experiment,
00:32:12I mean, I was looking for
00:32:14a certain type of woman.
00:32:16Someone sweet, caring,
00:32:18honest, a good listener.
00:32:20Somebody that had values,
00:32:22you know, somebody that understood me.
00:32:24You know, Jasmine is that woman.
00:32:26Wow. I don't know.
00:32:28I have mixed
00:32:30feelings. Obviously,
00:32:32there are fears.
00:32:34Do you see yourselves
00:32:36going to be together forever?
00:32:38For me, that's
00:32:40what this marriage is,
00:32:42you know.
00:32:44What about past relationships?
00:32:46How many girlfriends did you have?
00:32:48Not that many
00:32:50serious relationships.
00:32:52My last one...
00:32:54Not serious?
00:32:56No.
00:32:58How's your education, Bobby?
00:33:00So,
00:33:02when I was in school,
00:33:04I struggled, really, to kind of concentrate.
00:33:06So I ended up not going to university.
00:33:10But in this day and age, not a lot of people
00:33:12go to university anymore.
00:33:14I know, but it's better to be
00:33:16with a person with a good
00:33:18educational background.
00:33:22Sometimes,
00:33:24it's very difficult to
00:33:26communicate with an uneducated person.
00:33:32I'm very, very protective.
00:33:34I don't want her to get hurt again.
00:33:38Most men, every time
00:33:40they see another woman,
00:33:42it changes their perspective,
00:33:44their want, their likes.
00:33:46It changes all the time.
00:33:48I know what you mean.
00:33:50Men can be a certain way.
00:33:52I've watched my mom go into
00:33:54really poor relationships
00:33:56with the wrong types of men.
00:33:58So that's the last thing that I want to be.
00:34:00It's not nice.
00:34:02Heartbreaks are not nice.
00:34:04Trust is gained
00:34:06at the end of the day.
00:34:08I went through two failed marriages.
00:34:12And I don't want Jasmine
00:34:14to go through that.
00:34:18So what's the future plan?
00:34:20So the plan is...
00:34:22Because you live far away.
00:34:24Yeah.
00:34:26You can't do that.
00:34:28I'm going to move to London.
00:34:30And you work?
00:34:32So I'm working remotely.
00:34:34London price is so expensive, Jasmine.
00:34:36I don't think... I think we can afford it.
00:34:38You can afford it?
00:34:40Definitely.
00:34:44So I'm not worried about that.
00:34:46And we're open to, in the future,
00:34:48maybe we will go abroad.
00:34:50I think that's a good thing.
00:34:52Abroad, but how about the family?
00:34:54I'm very much involved.
00:34:58I've always been involved with Jasmine.
00:35:00We talk like sisters.
00:35:02And I said,
00:35:04tell me your secrets.
00:35:06Tell me first, not your friends.
00:35:08I am your friend.
00:35:10I am the best friend that you could ever have.
00:35:12She never hides anything from me.
00:35:16But I think going forward, though,
00:35:18I don't want to be telling you,
00:35:20oh, Bobby and I had an argument
00:35:22because of the dishwasher.
00:35:24No, but you have to tell me.
00:35:26100%, but not every single...
00:35:28No, but not every single argument,
00:35:30because that's going to put you off of him.
00:35:32You know, your future grandchildren.
00:35:34We can't be doing these things
00:35:36where I'm telling you every single argument.
00:35:38Because you'll just...
00:35:40you'll bring it up again.
00:35:42No, I think you have to tell me.
00:35:44You have to tell me everything.
00:35:50I'm very worried.
00:35:52It seems so short
00:35:54to know a person and get married.
00:35:58The time is not enough
00:36:00to say that
00:36:02I'm in love with that person.
00:36:04It's not good.
00:36:08Jasmine, are you sure?
00:36:12I am sure.
00:36:14It's going to be difficult, though.
00:36:20I respect her choices.
00:36:22However,
00:36:24words of warning,
00:36:26be very loyal.
00:36:30There's something that,
00:36:32you know, secret.
00:36:34Everybody has secret.
00:36:40Don't ever, ever lie to me.
00:36:42All you did
00:36:44promised me
00:36:46you would always be good to me.
00:36:48You should know better
00:36:50than to miss me.
00:36:52You know that I'm done
00:36:54because I'm with a girl, yeah.
00:36:58Me and Marissa, I feel like
00:37:00is the last hurdle that we need to get over
00:37:02before getting to that big day.
00:37:04This is a lot, and I'm really getting a grill in here.
00:37:08I'm hoping that I'm passing the test.
00:37:10To make this work, there's going to have to be
00:37:12some boundaries in place.
00:37:14This is going to be mine and Jasmine's marriage,
00:37:16and not Marissa's.
00:37:20He makes me feel happy.
00:37:22Why can't I be happy?
00:37:24I want to choose happiness.
00:37:26How long will that last?
00:37:28I don't want you to
00:37:30make the same mistakes that I have.
00:37:34Obviously, growing up, I haven't really witnessed
00:37:36a very healthy,
00:37:38you know, mother and father marriage.
00:37:40I've also experienced a lot of failed relationships
00:37:42where, you know, I haven't felt loved.
00:37:44I guess this time around,
00:37:46it feels like everything feels right.
00:37:48I'm not wanting
00:37:50anything more from him.
00:37:52He's already providing that for me without even me saying it.
00:37:56You're not getting carried away.
00:37:58No, but I know I'm making the right decision.
00:38:00You know how
00:38:02interfering, but at the same time,
00:38:04I'm very protective.
00:38:06I mean well.
00:38:10How am I so emotional?
00:38:24And your children.
00:38:26You're going to have future children.
00:38:28I don't want them to
00:38:30experience this.
00:38:32Crying.
00:38:34You remembered
00:38:36when you were young.
00:38:38I don't want them to have
00:38:40those memories in their mind.
00:38:42I just want you to be happy.
00:38:44I am happy.
00:38:46Jasmine means
00:38:48the world to me.
00:38:50She is my support.
00:38:52She's my best friend.
00:38:54She is everything to me.
00:38:56I will always be here to support you,
00:38:58whatever,
00:39:00no matter what happens.
00:39:02For her.
00:39:28How crazy is this?
00:39:30I can't believe
00:39:32we're doing this.
00:39:36I'm really excited to pick a dress.
00:39:38Every day is becoming more
00:39:40serious and this is like the second
00:39:42biggest day.
00:39:44It's a magical day.
00:39:46Oh my gosh, thank you.
00:39:48Honestly, I'm on the edge.
00:39:54That was a lovely welcome.
00:39:56How are you all?
00:39:58Having a good rummage
00:40:00through the dresses?
00:40:06Hello, hello, hello.
00:40:08I heard somebody was getting married.
00:40:16What have you got in your head?
00:40:18I just want like a lacy,
00:40:20romantic, rouge type.
00:40:22But I do want like a Princess Diana type veil.
00:40:24I want it like dramatic, long.
00:40:26Dramatic and sexy?
00:40:28Yeah, that's the vibes.
00:40:30I want a fishtail.
00:40:32I'm going to walk.
00:40:34My dad walks slow anyway.
00:40:36Tell him to get his stretchers in.
00:40:40I'll be a bow tie, that would be class.
00:40:42Everyone's asking me, are you scared, are you nervous?
00:40:44I'm like, not really.
00:40:46Have you had any moments where you've just been like,
00:40:48fuck this?
00:40:50A bit of a breakdown, right?
00:40:52Yeah.
00:40:54Yeah, maybe she snaps at me or something
00:40:56and I'm thinking like, I don't want this.
00:40:58I'm still in a position I feel like I've not
00:41:00made my mind up 100%.
00:41:02I met Jasmine's mum last night.
00:41:04Oh, really? Wow.
00:41:06That was intense. Definitely gave me a good grilling
00:41:08as expected.
00:41:10That's gorgeous, but it's short in the front.
00:41:12OK, guys, I'll try on a puffy dress.
00:41:14I'll try a princess dress on.
00:41:16Calm down.
00:41:18I think that's stunning. That one's a definite try on.
00:41:20Shall we have a little chat, guys?
00:41:22Shall we come in?
00:41:24Today we're going to get you suited and booted so you look
00:41:26absolutely on point for the big day.
00:41:28There's a lot of you, isn't there?
00:41:30I do feel slightly scared.
00:41:32I'm not scared,
00:41:34but I'm kind of imagining
00:41:36how your other halves have felt
00:41:38whilst meeting your friends and family.
00:41:40I mean, they must have been terrified.
00:41:42Pauline,
00:41:44it's quite a lot to take in, isn't it?
00:41:46The whole process is something else
00:41:48and I'm not calm. I might look calm,
00:41:50but I'm an emotional wreck.
00:41:52I mean, you look amazing and you look calm.
00:41:54I'm so happy for her.
00:41:56Don't start.
00:41:58No, don't make me cry
00:42:00because I don't have any tissues.
00:42:02Marissa, I hear you've
00:42:04literally just got here from the Philippines.
00:42:06Yes. So you arrived yesterday
00:42:08and then you met Bobby straight away.
00:42:10Yes.
00:42:12How did that go?
00:42:14I want to be.
00:42:16I'm
00:42:18a little...
00:42:20I think it's normal to be worried
00:42:22because I'm a very protective mum.
00:42:24Yeah.
00:42:26I raised this girl well
00:42:28and I'm proud of her.
00:42:30Aww.
00:42:32Aaron,
00:42:34great to see you again, mate.
00:42:36So now you know Olly and Demi.
00:42:38So how do you feel like their relationship is blossoming?
00:42:40Obviously, speaking to Demi in the pods
00:42:42and then being with Olly all the time
00:42:44in the lounge,
00:42:46they're both live wires,
00:42:48so there's definitely going to be some fireworks,
00:42:50but they're good ones, do you know what I mean?
00:42:52So I think that he's ready for an unbelievable journey
00:42:54and they're a match made in heaven.
00:42:56Nice. Good words.
00:42:58I agree, I agree.
00:43:00I appreciate you, man.
00:43:02Benaiah, good to see you again, mate.
00:43:04You look very calm, you look very ready.
00:43:06I mean, it helps having Nicole on my arm.
00:43:08She's been great for me the whole way through this,
00:43:10very supportive.
00:43:12So I'm feeling comfortable and confident.
00:43:14Guys, in this experiment,
00:43:16you chose to get engaged
00:43:18and spend the rest of your life
00:43:20with someone you'd never actually met.
00:43:22After dating blindly,
00:43:24you formed a bond based solely
00:43:26on your emotional connections.
00:43:28Since then,
00:43:30you've had a romantic getaway,
00:43:32you've moved in together,
00:43:34and your wedding day is around the corner.
00:43:36So will you be saying
00:43:38I do to the man that you got engaged to
00:43:40sight unseen,
00:43:42or will you choose to walk away forever?
00:43:46Are you ready to decide,
00:43:48is love truly blind?
00:43:50Yeah.
00:43:52Yes, there we go, there we go, there we go.
00:43:54I really hope it is, boys. I wish you all the best.
00:43:56I'm gonna leave you now so that you can all have
00:43:58some family and friend time
00:44:00and good luck with everything.
00:44:02Got everything crossed for you all.
00:44:04Choose your suits wisely.
00:44:06Believe me, choose your suits wisely.
00:44:08All the best.
00:44:16The most important thing,
00:44:18we laugh every day. We have a laugh every day.
00:44:20She allows me to wind her up.
00:44:22If she doesn't take herself too seriously, that's important, isn't it?
00:44:24That is a super important day.
00:44:26It's the last big thing we do
00:44:28before we walk down the aisle.
00:44:30If the wedding was tomorrow,
00:44:32I'd be ready to say I do
00:44:34because I truly think I've met my life person.
00:44:40Wow.
00:44:42Wow.
00:44:44So beautiful.
00:44:46Oh, my God.
00:44:48I thought you were gonna cry.
00:44:50I love that.
00:44:52It all still feels very surreal.
00:44:54It's not quite real life yet,
00:44:56but every day I feel
00:44:58a little bit more and more confident
00:45:00about Stephen and I.
00:45:02Having the dress, I think that kind of really...
00:45:04Cements it.
00:45:06Yeah.
00:45:08Sets it like this is
00:45:10what I'll be wearing on my wedding day.
00:45:12Well, Stephen is a very lucky man.
00:45:14Very lucky.
00:45:16I'm very lucky too, though.
00:45:18No, I'm not.
00:45:20No, she's not.
00:45:22I am 100% ready to say I do.
00:45:24I feel really, really good.
00:45:26Really happy.
00:45:28Wow.
00:45:40Wow.
00:45:42I love it, honestly.
00:45:44I just feel really sexy as well.
00:45:46It's Benaiah.
00:45:48Do you know what I mean?
00:45:50Every time I think about him,
00:45:52that's what makes me feel really safe in doing this.
00:45:54There's no one else that I would be doing this for, honestly.
00:45:56Do you feel at peace with him?
00:45:58I genuinely do.
00:46:00I didn't even think I'd want to get married again, you know?
00:46:02OK.
00:46:04There we go.
00:46:08I wish you all the best and good luck.
00:46:12I'm excited for this now.
00:46:14You should be excited. It's lovely.
00:46:16We're going to have fun today.
00:46:18No, we will.
00:46:20I'm so excited you three are here as well.
00:46:22Right at the start of this process,
00:46:24we were talking about what marriage means to us,
00:46:26and I was like, well, an opportunity to celebrate your love for each other.
00:46:28Yeah, man, yeah.
00:46:30I really want to make the most of this
00:46:32and give it the best shot that we can.
00:46:34This today is the longest that we've spent apart from each other
00:46:36in three weeks.
00:46:38How do you feel about that?
00:46:40Really missed her today.
00:46:42Massively.
00:46:50Oh, wow.
00:46:52Wow.
00:46:54Mashallah.
00:46:56Mashallah.
00:46:58Stunning. Beautiful.
00:47:18It's so important to have my friends and family.
00:47:20The three people sat out there,
00:47:22they've shaped me as a person,
00:47:24they've helped me through my hardest times.
00:47:26You look so grown up.
00:47:28Oh, sissy.
00:47:32Being in this dress has definitely made things more real for me,
00:47:34and it's definitely given me more clarity as well,
00:47:36and I feel like that's exactly what I needed.
00:47:40I love it. I feel incredible.
00:47:42Good.
00:47:44I want him to see it already.
00:47:46Today's that happy day
00:47:48where you realise, actually, he's amazing.
00:47:50It's just not something I'm used to.
00:47:52How he is as a man, it's just...
00:47:54And I mean that in, like, the nicest way possible.
00:47:56Like, how he is with me, I'm not used to it.
00:47:58And everything that he is
00:48:00is actually exactly what I do need.
00:48:02I might be crying and look like a mess,
00:48:04but I feel really good.
00:48:06Can't tell.
00:48:10Blubbering mess.
00:48:18Aw!
00:48:20Princess!
00:48:22You like it?
00:48:24It accentuates your curves.
00:48:26You think so? Yeah.
00:48:28It's stunning. Like, it suits your figure perfectly.
00:48:30Are the sequins not too much?
00:48:32No, it's perfect.
00:48:34That's you.
00:48:36I was going to say, if you were a dress, this is it.
00:48:38This is it, Jaz.
00:48:40This is so you.
00:48:42We need to make sure Bobby cries.
00:48:44Bobby's good at crying.
00:48:46Bobby's going to be speechless.
00:48:48His jaw is on the floor.
00:48:50That's the kind of vibe we want.
00:48:52I think he's going to be speechless.
00:48:54It's been a long time coming.
00:48:56I think the most important thing is,
00:48:58you know, before Bobby,
00:49:00I felt so at peace with myself.
00:49:02I felt so happy.
00:49:04And then having him, he's brought me even more peace.
00:49:06It's your time to shine.
00:49:08She's so beautiful.
00:49:10My daughter, wearing that dress,
00:49:12she looks like
00:49:14a stunning bride.
00:49:16She shines through.
00:49:18I think every mother would feel
00:49:20like the way I feel,
00:49:22because that's my daughter.
00:49:24And I always want the best
00:49:26for my daughter.
00:49:30This day here
00:49:32is the biggest day of your life.
00:49:34Yeah, so I got the flyest I've ever looked in my life.
00:49:36You know what I mean?
00:49:38Well, she genuinely
00:49:40makes me so happy.
00:49:42Honestly, I know it sounds cheesy,
00:49:44but waking up to her every day, I don't care what we've got on that day,
00:49:46I know I'm going to have a good one.
00:49:48I know it's going to be an adventure.
00:49:50Whether we're going for a date or whether we're just going to stay indoors all day,
00:49:52I know I'm about to have a good time.
00:49:54And that's what you need out of a partner,
00:49:56because not every day is going to be five-star resorts in Greece.
00:50:08Oh, my God.
00:50:10I feel like I didn't put any heels on, ladies.
00:50:12But I'll save that for the wedding day.
00:50:14Oh, my gosh, Demi.
00:50:16I love it.
00:50:18You look so pretty.
00:50:20We're used to watching you play football.
00:50:22Yeah.
00:50:24We support you for your boxing fight.
00:50:26Can I just say...
00:50:28To see you, like...
00:50:30Honestly, Demi, you look amazing.
00:50:32A million dollars, honestly.
00:50:34I feel like a bit of a princess.
00:50:36The girl's back,
00:50:38and she's new and improved, I'll be honest with you.
00:50:40We can see it.
00:50:42We've got some, like, things to work on, you know,
00:50:44cos the booty be busting out.
00:50:46Like, walking in, and you see, like, these beautiful women
00:50:48who are petite, you're like,
00:50:50oh, crap, maybe I shouldn't eat that doughnut.
00:50:52Like, honestly, it's actually so bizarre
00:50:54that I was in that headspace at one point in my life,
00:50:56because that doesn't define me.
00:50:58I'm actually very confident, I'm actually a very confident person.
00:51:00If I didn't go through this experiment and this experience,
00:51:02I would keep doing that,
00:51:04and actually, that's not healthy.
00:51:06Get rid of them. It's actually just ridiculous.
00:51:08You are beautiful inside and out.
00:51:10You are an amazing person.
00:51:12And me and Daddy created
00:51:14such a wonderful girl.
00:51:16Yeah. You did. Seriously.
00:51:18But you also showed me what a really good marriage is as well.
00:51:22Like, I literally, I've said that from...
00:51:24I'm very fortunate.
00:51:26There's not a lot of people that have role models like I have.
00:51:28And, like,
00:51:30I look up to you and Dad.
00:51:32I look up to, like, what true love is.
00:51:34You've set the example of how to love,
00:51:36and that's what I want.
00:51:40This dress is fire!
00:51:42I feel like
00:51:44this has been a rollercoaster ride,
00:51:46and along the way, I've just trusted the process,
00:51:48and things are aligning.
00:51:50I've got Oli,
00:51:52I've got a loving family.
00:51:54I mean, have you seen my dress?
00:51:56I'm ready to get married to anyone.
00:51:58No, I'm joking. I'm joking, Oli, don't show that to him.
00:52:00Anyway, it's going to get off me, because I'm sweating,
00:52:02and you lot are just making it emotional.
00:52:06So I'm thinking of, like,
00:52:08maybe traditional tuxedo, which is really good.
00:52:10I think the tux is perfect. You can't go wrong with it.
00:52:12Really smart. Chinese shoes.
00:52:14I wear a frock coat in work,
00:52:16so I don't want anything like that.
00:52:18Nothing long, you know.
00:52:20Stay away from that. Yeah, stay away from that, yeah.
00:52:28Oh!
00:52:30You look beautiful.
00:52:32Oh, my goodness.
00:52:34She looks stunning.
00:52:36You crying?
00:52:38Yeah.
00:52:40It's beautiful.
00:52:42I'm so happy to be standing here
00:52:44and say, you know,
00:52:46Freddie's the one.
00:52:48He is a life changer,
00:52:50and he's going to be part of the family,
00:52:52for sure.
00:52:54Today, I feel really confident
00:52:56about my wedding day, about getting married,
00:52:58and picking the dress.
00:53:00It's like every little girl's dream.
00:53:02How's the relationship going?
00:53:04Literally, I love the girl. She's amazing.
00:53:06I'm so happy I've met her.
00:53:08We have bickered a little bit.
00:53:10We've raised concerns of each other,
00:53:12but I think that's just normal.
00:53:14That's just being realistic, I think.
00:53:16Can we just rewind on the love?
00:53:18What do you mean? I've never heard you actually say you love anyone.
00:53:20No, OK.
00:53:22So I do love the girl. I do love the girl.
00:53:24That's amazing. Like, she's absolutely unbelievable.
00:53:26Like, I've met the most amazing person.
00:53:28This connection I have is insane.
00:53:30It's just the commitment, like, right now, isn't it?
00:53:32It's massive.
00:53:34I've known Freddie for a long time.
00:53:36He's always someone that's been in relationships
00:53:38and taking his time,
00:53:40but the experiment with Freddie's been really, really good.
00:53:42He's been given a wedding date,
00:53:44and from what he's telling me about Kat
00:53:46and the person she is and how he feels about her,
00:53:48I think they can make it work.
00:53:50Here's to the big day.
00:53:52Thank you, girlies.
00:53:54Cheers.
00:54:02I've got you on my mind again
00:54:04Like a rollercoaster ride
00:54:06I can't stop dreaming
00:54:08Of that summer we've had
00:54:10Swimming out against the tide
00:54:12Can't get you out of my mind
00:54:14Here we are.
00:54:16Inglee Spring Yard.
00:54:18Seems pretty perfect
00:54:20for our last big date.
00:54:22It's a picturesque final date spot,
00:54:24and so to share that with Sabrina
00:54:26is really a perfect moment.
00:54:30Give me a kiss.
00:54:32And it's got me feeling
00:54:34Good
00:54:36Something
00:54:38This is what we've been talking about
00:54:40since the pods.
00:54:42You are writing checks
00:54:44that you cannot cash.
00:54:46I mean, me and Ollie are quite competitive,
00:54:48so ideal date.
00:54:50You're a winner for me.
00:54:52Some days I love you, but guess what?
00:54:54Today is not that day.
00:55:00Oh, look at this.
00:55:02It's so cute.
00:55:04Have you been in a bar before?
00:55:06No.
00:55:08This state setting is phenomenal.
00:55:10Benaiah looks so good, too.
00:55:12Us two being together,
00:55:14it just feels really right.
00:55:18Oh!
00:55:20I know your answer.
00:55:34How are you feeling now, then,
00:55:36about the wedding?
00:55:38I feel really good. I really do, yeah.
00:55:40How are you feeling? Do you feel any pressure?
00:55:42No.
00:55:44I'm getting all our loved ones in one room,
00:55:46and it's all about us.
00:55:48Sounds like my perfect day, to be honest with you.
00:55:50I honestly think it's going to be so much fun.
00:55:52I think it's going to be like one big party.
00:55:54I'll be nervous
00:55:56up until the vows.
00:55:58After that,
00:56:00the shoes are off and the dance moves are coming out.
00:56:02That'll be the first time you see them as well.
00:56:04Mmm.
00:56:06We need to figure out a way to get this show me then
00:56:08before I say yes.
00:56:10I've heard about these legendary dance moves.
00:56:12I've seen some dance moves.
00:56:16I'm excited now.
00:56:18Obviously, the final countdown is on.
00:56:20Mr and Mrs Smith, I honestly think it sounds so good.
00:56:22I'm here for it.
00:56:24Have you been practising your I do's?
00:56:26Really? I do.
00:56:28I do. I do.
00:56:30See what happens in the day.
00:56:32Oh, good.
00:56:34Scratch his head, take a deep breath.
00:56:38Love you.
00:56:46Oh, yeah.
00:56:48Let me show you how to
00:56:50Let me show you how to
00:56:52be your wife
00:56:54You know that you love to play me
00:56:58This is really hard, isn't it?
00:57:02What are you making?
00:57:04What are you making?
00:57:06I don't know, I'm just feeling it first.
00:57:08I'm just going to have to get used to it.
00:57:10Oh, no!
00:57:12That's because I was trying to help you.
00:57:14I've done some a ball.
00:57:16Start again.
00:57:20I've had iPods for, like, ages.
00:57:22It's mad.
00:57:24When I close my eyes and I hear your voice,
00:57:26it brings back so many memories.
00:57:28I still find it mind-blowing.
00:57:30Yeah, it's crazy.
00:57:32I'm confident in it.
00:57:34At the start, I was like,
00:57:36God, this is too good to be true.
00:57:38But now I'm like, it's not.
00:57:40Trying on the dress yesterday,
00:57:42I was like, this is it.
00:57:44That dress is for you.
00:57:46That dress is for our wedding.
00:57:48When I found the dress,
00:57:50my mum's jaw,
00:57:52it hit the floor.
00:57:54She couldn't talk.
00:57:56She was just crying her eyes out.
00:57:58Having Dot there as well,
00:58:00it was just amazing.
00:58:02She's so excited.
00:58:04Good, that's nice to know.
00:58:06You must have been happy, though,
00:58:08because you were with your friends.
00:58:10When I went to chat to Jamie,
00:58:12he did say that he'd never heard me say
00:58:14that I loved somebody before,
00:58:16which is, I guess, you know,
00:58:18the top and back of it.
00:58:20Really?
00:58:22That's what he said.
00:58:24Stuff like them little things
00:58:26makes me so happy.
00:58:28It's literally brightened me up already.
00:58:30That's what I need to hear.
00:58:32My love for you has only got deeper.
00:58:34Of course it has.
00:58:36I just want you to have the reassurance
00:58:38that I love you
00:58:40and the connection we have is real.
00:58:42I just feel lucky
00:58:44that I still wake up to you every day
00:58:46and I'm like, oh, my God, that's Freddie.
00:58:50I wake up and I'm like,
00:58:52don't wake her up, don't wake her up.
00:58:54Oh, my God.
00:59:10If I lose,
00:59:12I will shave my beard off.
00:59:14You're going to go clean shaven for the wedding?
00:59:16Actually, let's let everyone slow down a minute.
00:59:18If I lose, you're going to shave your beard off.
00:59:24Oh, my God.
00:59:26I'm having a blunder, I'm having a blunder.
00:59:30No, hold on, hold on.
00:59:32I came in here
00:59:34not really fully trusting the experiment.
00:59:36I came in here thinking, who knows, we'll see.
00:59:38If nothing else, it'll be a good time.
00:59:40And then, obviously, having met Demi
00:59:42has changed everything.
00:59:44She's genuinely just a joy to be around.
00:59:46She genuinely just makes the day brighter.
00:59:48Whenever we're cooking in the kitchen together
00:59:50or we're lying in bed, there's never a dull moment.
00:59:52It's always magic, it's always fireworks.
00:59:54Right, can we calm down, please?
01:00:00I definitely want a lifelong partner,
01:00:02but I want a best friend before that.
01:00:04And looking at Oli, I'm like, yeah, I've found my best friend.
01:00:06Oh, my gosh!
01:00:08Oli just makes me happy,
01:00:10and our love has
01:00:12definitely grown deeper.
01:00:14Oli, Oli, sad kiss.
01:00:16Come and have a sad kiss.
01:00:18I want that kind of love,
01:00:20I want that kind of marriage,
01:00:22and I want to be able to bring children up into a happy household.
01:00:24Do I think Oli's the person I could do that with?
01:00:26Yeah, I do.
01:00:42Ah, can I take your bag, babe?
01:00:44Yes, please. Thank you.
01:00:50This is our last day together.
01:00:52I know. Ever.
01:00:54We are literally getting married in a few days.
01:00:56I don't feel...
01:00:58nervous.
01:01:00Me neither.
01:01:02Yeah.
01:01:04I feel like this is the best I've felt through the whole thing.
01:01:06It's crazy.
01:01:08Sometimes I look at you and I do think,
01:01:10I didn't know you two months ago. Do you?
01:01:12Yeah, this is wild. Yeah.
01:01:16Thank you so much.
01:01:20Shall we do a little cheersy-cheers? Yeah.
01:01:22Do you want to do it?
01:01:24Here's to us in the future. Us in the future.
01:01:26Look me in the eye.
01:01:28Oh, that's nice.
01:01:30Mmm. Mmm.
01:01:32That's nice.
01:01:34I'm really looking forward to our wedding day.
01:01:36So am I.
01:01:38How are you feeling about your brother giving you away?
01:01:40I'm so happy, because the thing is,
01:01:42when people say, well, who's going to walk you down the aisle
01:01:44when you get married, it would always have been
01:01:46my dad, if my dad was still alive, it would have been dad
01:01:48and Heesham, because that's how important Heesham is to me.
01:01:50Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:01:52I struck gold when I got him as a big brother.
01:01:54He's amazing.
01:01:56Him and my dad are just the best men ever.
01:01:58Mmm. Ever.
01:02:00Obviously, Pops can't be there.
01:02:02Yeah.
01:02:04Which is hard.
01:02:06Um...
01:02:12Let's make sure we try and celebrate him
01:02:14as much as we can on the day, you know?
01:02:16Yeah.
01:02:18I definitely want to do a speech for him.
01:02:20We should...
01:02:22I have a little place for him at the table.
01:02:24Yeah.
01:02:26Um...
01:02:28But, yeah, I definitely want to make him known.
01:02:30I am really, really lucky.
01:02:32Like, you know, at risk of sounding a bit cheesy,
01:02:34like, I see your beauty
01:02:36in every part of you.
01:02:38You know?
01:02:40I feel like I've learnt so much about myself.
01:02:42The things that I thought I should be ashamed of
01:02:44and, like, the things that I thought, like,
01:02:46that's not normal, like, don't do that.
01:02:48Mm-hm.
01:02:50You very much taught me it's OK to be like that
01:02:52and you sort of welcome it with both arms.
01:02:54You've definitely helped me a lot.
01:02:56I do feel like
01:02:58we are closer now to marriage than we ever have been.
01:03:00Yeah.
01:03:04I agree.
01:03:06Can't wait to see where it goes with you, you know?
01:03:08No, me too.
01:03:10Mwah.
01:03:12Got lipstick on my face.
01:03:14No, you haven't, actually.
01:03:16This is the one time in your life you don't.
01:03:20Do you want to have a go at this?
01:03:22OK, let's try, let's try.
01:03:24This could be an epic fail.
01:03:26Don't twist that.
01:03:30There we go.
01:03:34I've never been so nervous in my life.
01:03:36Will you be more or less nervous on our wedding day?
01:03:38I think this is the most actually nervous.
01:03:42So how are you feeling about the big day, though?
01:03:44The wedding day?
01:03:46This side of two years ago, I was like, no.
01:03:48Never again?
01:03:50Never again. Really? Yeah.
01:03:52Your previous marriage
01:03:54shouldn't, like,
01:03:56deter what you think about marriage.
01:03:58So a relationship that didn't work out
01:04:00should be associated and linked
01:04:02to the person you're with,
01:04:04not marriage as a... As a...
01:04:06As a commitment or as a sacrament.
01:04:08Yeah. Yeah.
01:04:10That's what I struggled to detach from.
01:04:12Benaiah has challenged
01:04:14a lot of my beliefs.
01:04:16Because he's so committed
01:04:18to my growth and his growth,
01:04:20it inspires me
01:04:22to be better
01:04:24and to want to grow for both of us.
01:04:26I think there is something that
01:04:28I feel confident that you bring out in me,
01:04:30which is the ability to be childish
01:04:32and just... Be silly.
01:04:34Be silly, and
01:04:36I really value that.
01:04:38I'm honestly feeling very, very blessed.
01:04:40When you care about someone,
01:04:42when you love someone, you have their back.
01:04:44So there's no doubt in my mind
01:04:46that as a married couple
01:04:48that you'd have my back, you'd be my rock.
01:04:50Aw. And, like, I know I genuinely
01:04:52mean it. I really mean it.
01:04:54I honestly
01:04:56love him so much.
01:04:58When I look at him, I really do see my future.
01:05:00He's incredible.
01:05:02I do
01:05:04love you a lot. I care for you and I protect you.
01:05:06And I'm so excited
01:05:08about us and what
01:05:10the future holds for us.
01:05:12And you're someone very close to my heart.
01:05:14I've been single
01:05:16for 10, 11
01:05:18years. I've wanted a serious relationship.
01:05:20I've wanted a life partner, but I didn't
01:05:22think I'd find it. Nicole proved me
01:05:24wrong. There's so many qualities that
01:05:26she has, which makes me see a very
01:05:28happy future with her. Yeah, I feel
01:05:30pretty lucky at the minute.
01:05:32I love you.
01:05:52Wow. Look at that for a view.
01:05:54Looking out now
01:05:56at the city, I'm so excited to be
01:05:58moving here with you and getting to spend
01:06:00my life here. It's just going to be
01:06:02incredible. Being here
01:06:04with you for these past three weeks,
01:06:06for me, it's felt like home already.
01:06:08One thing that I'm
01:06:10certain of is you are
01:06:12everything that I'm looking for in
01:06:14someone that I want to spend the rest of my
01:06:16life with. I can definitely see myself
01:06:18being with you forever. I've always wanted
01:06:20to find a partner that wouldn't make
01:06:22me worry, that didn't make me feel anxious.
01:06:24And I find
01:06:26that feeling in you when I'm with you.
01:06:28You have that silent confidence that I've
01:06:30always looked for. With you, it's
01:06:32just been so easy. We're so comfortable
01:06:34with one another. It does literally feel like we've
01:06:36known each other forever. And I'll do my
01:06:38absolute best to make sure that I am the best man
01:06:40for you so that I can make you the happiest
01:06:42woman in the world because I think you really deserve
01:06:44it. I had to go
01:06:46through this experiment
01:06:48to grow, to realize things about
01:06:50myself in order to be ready for
01:06:52marriage. There's no doubt in my
01:06:54mind that I'm going to have the most amazing future with
01:06:56Bobby. I'm just excited to start
01:06:58it. This love feels right.
01:07:00It feels safe. It
01:07:02feels eternal. That's more than
01:07:04anything. What this love feels
01:07:06like. I feel like I can spend the rest of my life
01:07:08with you and there's no doubt.
01:07:10I don't want to cry.
01:07:18Coming into this,
01:07:20I never expected to find somebody
01:07:22or something as special as what
01:07:24I found. And I feel like the luckiest man
01:07:26in the world, honestly.
01:07:28I love everything about Jasmine.
01:07:30Love to me is the most magical
01:07:32feeling in the world. To have come on this experiment
01:07:34and to have found true love is
01:07:36the best thing that could have ever happened to me.
01:07:38I'm so excited to be spending the rest of my life
01:07:40with you. You're incredible.
01:07:42And I love you so much. I love you too.
01:07:52I got you now.
01:07:54Forever.
01:07:56You ready for that?
01:07:58Ready for me?
01:08:00My little firecracker.
01:08:22Today, I make a real big decision.
01:08:24Is it I do or is it like
01:08:26I do but not for now?
01:08:28Love and rage.
01:08:30Love and rage.
01:08:32Love and rage.
01:08:34Love and rage.
01:08:36Do a taste of our past,
01:08:38our present, and our future.
01:08:40Oh, I'm going to get really upset.
01:08:42I just don't want to get this last thing I want.
01:08:44You stole my mind
01:08:46and my heart.
01:08:48I love you.
01:08:50You stole my mind and my heart
01:08:52and now I give you my unconditional love.
01:08:54I know my answer.
01:08:56Don't know hers.
01:08:58I'm in two minds
01:09:00about today. Stressing,
01:09:02questioning, right decision, wrong decision.
01:09:04If I think it's a no,
01:09:06I will not be there to walk down that aisle.
01:09:08I've never loved someone
01:09:10like I loved Charlton. I really wish my dad
01:09:12was here.
01:09:14Now is the time for you both
01:09:16to decide if love is
01:09:18right.
01:09:20It would be an amazing match for me. There's absolutely no doubt
01:09:22about that. I love you.
01:09:24This journey has meant so much for both of us
01:09:26and I know for a fact I wouldn't have done it with anyone else
01:09:28other than you.
01:09:30I just feel like I can't think straight.
01:09:32Do you take Olly to be your husband?
01:09:34Maybe we're just not right as a couple.
01:09:36We're better as friends.
01:09:38Nervous.
01:09:40Gross. I can't keep doing this.
01:09:42It's too emotional today.
01:09:44I will never
01:09:46find a guy like him ever again.
01:09:50I just worry
01:09:52that you are on different pages.
01:09:54From the moment I heard your
01:09:56voice, I knew this was gonna
01:09:58be special.
01:10:02You'll love your car.
