FunTranscript
00:01Finding true love is everything.
00:03Previously...
00:05I definitely deserve to find love.
00:07..for two new singles, it was a fairy tale beginning.
00:14She's magical.
00:16But Luke's attempt to charm...
00:18Hello, baby.
00:21..almost threatened their happily ever after.
00:24Just give me a little bit.
00:27Whilst the existing couples...
00:30..welcome their nearest and dearest.
00:32Intimacy.
00:33We've done this.
00:35Are you comfortable?
00:36Mum, stop it!
00:37But pressure from a straight-talking mum...
00:39Do you love Lacey?
00:40..sparked a series of faux pas from Nathan.
00:43You're a fancy page, then.
00:45She's beautiful.
00:46Are you for real?
00:47Look at me in the eyes and say,
00:48I don't really want to work with Lacey.
00:50That's awful.
00:51That's a bit rude.
00:53Oh, God.
00:55Tonight...
00:57SHE SCREAMS
00:58..in-laws week continues.
01:00When we come to communicating, we clash.
01:03It's both.
01:05One friend's cross-examination...
01:07Is this all a facade and my friend's a showpiece chick?
01:11Are you trying to be famous?
01:14..triggers Rachelle's trust issues.
01:16Something ain't quite adding up.
01:18Sue, you just chat so much shit.
01:21I'm too old for this nonsense.
01:24SHE SCREAMS
01:26And two more hopeful singles...
01:28I'm ready to have love, that missing piece of the puzzle.
01:32After the previous heartbreak, I know what I need in my life.
01:35..meet and marry at the altar.
01:37You're really cute!
01:39Despite an instant connection...
01:41CHEERING
01:43Good, fun vibes. There's no curveballs.
01:46..a groom's revelation...
01:48I've got four children.
01:50Four?!
01:52..bursts a bride's bubble.
01:54Four is a lot. I've got four children.
01:57My kids do come first.
02:10Well, with the first of our new couples married,
02:13now it's time to introduce our next pairing to the experiment.
02:17Hannah and Stephen possess confidence and energy in abundance.
02:22I'm predicting electricity with this match.
02:25Roll tape.
02:26MUSIC PLAYS
02:30I don't know if people would be surprised when they meet me.
02:33I think they'd just be like, whoa, she's intense.
02:36I wouldn't say I'm dramatic. I'm probably quite dramatic.
02:39I probably can't say I'm not dramatic, cos I am.
02:41I also feel like my face will tell you exactly what I'm thinking,
02:44however, Botox helps neutralise that a little bit.
02:47Right now, it is dry.
02:48Perhaps I've kind of done them all.
02:50I pretty much completed one the other day.
02:52There's no more matches in your area. Why didn't you search?
02:55One of my friends calls me a Duracell bunny.
02:58I think I'm the bonkers one.
03:00I'm pretty confident, but then I think they would all agree
03:03that I've got a heart of gold and I'm a really good friend
03:06and I am fiercely loyal.
03:09I've got my shit together.
03:11I think I'm a very strong, independent woman.
03:13Very ambitious, very driven, hard-working.
03:16I own my own gym, so it's a PT studio.
03:20Being self-employed was for me, cos I get to make the rules
03:23and I can tell people what to do.
03:25Do one more, do one more, do one more. Keep going.
03:28I do feel like now is the right time for me to pull back
03:31from the business and really prioritise finding love,
03:34finding the one.
03:35I think it's important to make that a priority,
03:38so I feel like this is the right time to jump in with two feet
03:42and marry a stranger.
03:46Cos I work so much, I think, for me,
03:48I don't want to look back in five years' time and be like,
03:50oh, I missed the boat cos I was working too hard.
03:52But your dating life just kind of creates really good stories for us.
03:56I take one for the team and it's enjoyable for everyone else.
03:59My friends are more like my family.
04:01I would say they're the ones that really know the true me
04:04and they accept me for all I am.
04:07I guess you look up to people's relationships
04:09and you want what they've got,
04:11cos I see all my friends in really, really gorgeous relationships
04:14and that's what I want.
04:15And I definitely want children,
04:17something I'm looking forward to in my life when the time's right.
04:20You just need to add to the family.
04:21Or I just get another dog.
04:23No, you need a baby.
04:24OK, one day.
04:26Shall we make another one of you?
04:29It is massively important that whoever I end up with wants children
04:32cos it's really important for me.
04:35I have been in love.
04:37I had a serious relationship for two and a half years.
04:39We lived together.
04:40That was five years ago.
04:44Let's just make this short and sweet cos I don't want to talk about it too much.
04:48It was a hard break-up cos it was someone that I thought I was probably going to be with
04:51but as the cracks started to show,
04:53it was very clear from both our sides that it just wasn't meant to be.
04:58Yeah, I loved him.
05:01A therapist once told me that I like to find birds with broken wings
05:04and try and fix them.
05:05However, I feel like I fix them, their wings,
05:07and then they fly off to someone else.
05:10That relationship probably broke me down.
05:12I had to rise back up from it,
05:14so it did probably make me have some walls up.
05:17Being broken up with is horrible
05:19and your walls do get higher and higher and higher
05:21cos you just self-protect yourself.
05:23So, it's been a while.
05:26But the walls are high but they're not unachievable.
05:29You can climb them if you wanted to.
05:31Just grab a ladder.
05:33You said something that I find profound.
05:35So you said, I maintain this wall,
05:37this external shell, this hard shell.
05:39Yeah.
05:40Right?
05:41Why do you maintain a facade?
05:45I don't know.
05:46I think when you've been single for so long
05:48and you're getting older and all my friends are married
05:50or got kids and they've kind of got the life that I want
05:53and I think when you don't have that
05:55and you're struggling to find that,
05:57you learn that you need to just kind of protect yourself
05:59more and more and more.
06:00Just because you don't want to keep getting hurt over and over again.
06:03How does that feel?
06:04Shit.
06:05And it is hard.
06:06Cos I want that
06:07and it's proving difficult for me to get.
06:10Are you lonely?
06:12Oh.
06:16I think I've got a good life.
06:18I've got a really nice life.
06:19I like my life.
06:20Everything's great.
06:21Just missing that little bit.
06:24I want to say no but sometimes yeah.
06:28You've let me peek in.
06:29So you can do it.
06:30Yeah.
06:31And you know what?
06:32And I like the person I see.
06:33I love the person I see.
06:35I definitely want to meet someone
06:37that's going to kind of mellow me down
06:38and calm me down a little bit and keep me chill.
06:40I think it's really important for me
06:43that they are fit and active and into the gym.
06:47They've got to be ambitious.
06:48They've got to be driven.
06:50They've got to have their shit together.
06:51That's so important to me.
06:53And massively important that whoever I end up with
06:55wants to a gym.
06:58I genuinely feel like now is the perfect time
07:01for me to meet the right person.
07:02My life is exactly where I want it
07:04and I'm really ready to have love and a partner.
07:08That missing piece of the puzzle
07:10and build a life together.
07:20My friends would describe me,
07:22I'd probably say that's how I'd describe myself.
07:24Very opinionated.
07:25A bit of a free spirit.
07:28Misconception about me is
07:30I've come across a bit of a,
07:31you're a rugby boy.
07:32You've got tattoos.
07:34You look after your body.
07:35You've got bright blonde hair.
07:36You look as if you're just there to screw people over
07:39and young people can think,
07:40this guy's a dick.
07:42But it's actually the complete opposite.
07:43I feel like I've been single for years and years and years
07:45and be like, yeah, on my own.
07:47You know my age, man.
07:48I'm getting on as well.
07:49You're quite small as well.
07:50Fuck.
07:51I'm not small, mate.
07:52Can't believe you just done me like that.
07:56I'd say I'm a catch.
07:57For sure.
07:58Period.
08:00Yeah.
08:05So I was playing rugby for around 26 years.
08:0810 or 11 of those years were semi-pro.
08:10Represented the county of Yorkshire
08:12and I was fortunate enough that it took me to the side of the world
08:15so I did three years in Western Australia.
08:18And then suddenly, it's gone.
08:24Got injured.
08:25Bent like a deck chair.
08:26Broke my neck.
08:27Had airline fractures and bulging discs.
08:29I finished the game and it was misdiagnosed
08:31and I played with it for 18 months.
08:35Once I found out my rugby career was over,
08:37I was devastated.
08:39It's a very weird feeling.
08:41You know, you don't have that.
08:43You don't have it anymore.
08:44It's gone.
08:46I definitely thought, what the hell am I going to do now?
08:49I'm not one just to sit and feel sad about it.
08:52I'm very much a, what next?
08:54What next?
08:55Let's just go.
09:00I currently work for a neonatal medical devices manufacturing distributor.
09:06Working for a company that has saved over a million babies' lives.
09:10It's a very strange one because you're building devices
09:13for something you hope they don't need to use
09:16because it's for a baby the size of your palm of your hand.
09:20So it's very special and rewarding in that aspect.
09:23I spend a lot of my free time with dad and friends.
09:26I'm really close to my dad.
09:28You were the youngest, so you always got the prime spot.
09:31I heard mum say, best looking and favourite.
09:36Nice to live with your mum.
09:38When I was 11 years old, my mum got diagnosed with cancer.
09:43She was told she had around nine months to live.
09:46She was told she was going to die.
09:48She was told she had cancer.
09:50She was told she had around nine months to live.
09:55Sorry.
10:07She passed away in my dad's arms in hospital.
10:13I'll be forever grateful I got to say goodbye to her.
10:19Yeah, she's happy.
10:22The love mum and dad had is what I want moving forward.
10:29I've been through some tough times in my life,
10:32so it's moulded me to be kind of the person I am now.
10:37I've been married once before.
10:39I got married when I was 18, so I was a young husband.
10:45Four beautiful kids out of it.
10:49Being a dad of four is quite special.
10:52The age from 14 years old is my eldest,
10:55in year 10 to six.
10:59My children live with their mum in Leeds,
11:01and I'm in the south,
11:03so it can be quite difficult logistically
11:05to see them as often as I'd like.
11:08When we do see each other, we make the most of it.
11:11I like to be the fun dad.
11:14In my past relationships, nothing's worked out for me.
11:17I can no longer be the 33-year-old single guy.
11:22My last relationship was special.
11:24It was a whirlwind.
11:26I was madly in love with a girl.
11:28She decided to wake up one day
11:32and want a break out of nowhere.
11:35Completely blindsided me.
11:44What does love mean to you?
11:46I love it. It petrifies the hell out of me.
11:49It's everything. Any emotion rolling to one,
11:51but it's just finding that person you can kind of do that with.
11:55And that's why you're here.
11:57And that's why I'm here.
12:01Fitness and sport is huge in my life.
12:04I don't know where I'd be without it.
12:06So I think my perfect partner is someone that's a ball of energy.
12:11Looks after their body.
12:13Girl next door with a sexy edge kind of look.
12:15Kind, loyal, affectionate.
12:18I hope there's someone out there I can give my heart to again.
12:21I will do all I can to make it work if there's something there.
12:24Because I want that person next to me.
12:26So I'm going into it with every intent of meeting my person.
12:33This is a couple with phenomenal potential.
12:36Hannah is a strong, independent, ambitious woman.
12:40With her life in order.
12:42Looking for someone who can handle her big personality.
12:45I agree.
12:47Stephen says he wants someone with bags of character and energy.
12:51As someone with masses of life experience,
12:54ranging from love to loss,
12:56he's got the emotional maturity and appetite
12:59to handle a ballsy go-getter like Hannah.
13:02Both have suffered heartbreak,
13:05so they seek loyalty in their partner.
13:07While Hannah uses a shield of confidence to protect herself,
13:10father of four Stephen is a calm, straight talker
13:14with the resilience to find a way through her impenetrable walls.
13:18On a physical level, both are passionate about their fitness.
13:22And this will not only help cement an instant attraction,
13:25but it will also ensure that key values are aligned.
13:29The issue of kids is an interesting one for these two.
13:32Hannah wants kids.
13:34And Stephen said he's open to more with the right woman.
13:37He, of course, comes with a ready-made family
13:40that Hannah would need to accept and navigate.
13:43But I think she's someone who's up to a challenge.
13:45The prospects for this marriage are super exciting.
13:49Hannah and Stephen.
13:52It's smoky in here.
13:54For the existing couples, In-Laws Week is continuing,
13:58and today, Holly and Alex are about to meet up
14:01with their nearest and dearest.
14:03Me and Alex are hosting our first dinner party as a couple.
14:06This is cute, right?
14:08Yeah, it is.
14:10We're going to have a great time.
14:12We're going to have a great time.
14:14We're going to have a great time.
14:16We're going to have a great time.
14:18This is cute, right?
14:21Ooh!
14:24I'm so excited.
14:26For Rochelle and Dawson, they're meeting friends, Janie and Nick.
14:30I'm looking forward to seeing Janie.
14:32Some familiarity right now would be really good.
14:35I value Janie's advice, so she's got a lot of power in her hands today.
14:39I don't think she's aware of that.
14:41I'm looking forward to seeing Nick as well.
14:43Nick knows me inside out.
14:45I just want them to be open and honest.
14:47I haven't seen him since the wedding,
14:49so it'd be nice to just catch up.
14:54You can't be soft.
14:56A man's a man because you're no wallflower.
14:58Yeah, I don't want to walk all over him.
15:00On their wedding day...
15:03..Rochelle hoped for an alpha groom.
15:06She is strong.
15:07She's not going to take any foolishness from anyone.
15:10But on honeymoon, Rochelle was unimpressed with Dawson's vulnerability.
15:14What happened? Did you have your heart broken?
15:16She cheated.
15:18I took it hard. Real hard.
15:21If you can't get over being cheated on five years ago, like, what now?
15:25And a career revelation raised further concerns.
15:29Dawson mentioned that he's also an actor and a model.
15:33The acting does make me question, is he genuine
15:37or is he just telling me what he thinks I want to hear?
15:41Hey!
15:42Bro!
15:43Bro-ski!
15:45It's been a while since I last saw Dawson. Really excited.
15:48I need to know everything. I've missed out on so much.
15:50What's happening, man? Tell me, how's it been?
15:53I've got so many questions.
15:55Mate, there's a lot. There's a lot.
16:00I'm really excited about seeing Rochelle today.
16:04The last time I saw her was at the wedding.
16:07They both seem to be getting on very well.
16:10But now I know his name,
16:13you look on social media to see who he is.
16:18So I have questions.
16:22During that wedding meal, I asked about you.
16:26Yes.
16:27And I was told that you were a project manager.
16:30So obviously, naturally, I'm going to look at social media
16:33and all I saw was model, actor.
16:39My worry...
16:43Is this all a facade?
16:45And, you know, my friend's a showpiece chick
16:48that can help you on that journey to being famous?
16:53Are you trying to be famous?
16:56Do you feel like I have not been genuine towards you?
17:00I'll ask you that.
17:02No, I think you should just answer Jamie's question.
17:04I'm not going to answer the question because that is important.
17:06I don't know. You need to just answer Jamie
17:08because I can't help you there.
17:11Maybe Jamie's a detective.
17:13Maybe Jamie wants to work for Scotland Yard.
17:17I have no idea.
17:19Whatever she finds, I know it will be good stuff,
17:22I know it will be positive stuff.
17:24I do model. I do act.
17:26If I didn't tell Michelle about this, like, from the jump,
17:30and it then come out, then she could say,
17:33well, right, are you doing this for the right reason or whatever it is?
17:36I was very open and honest.
17:38I hid nothing.
17:41I love that Jamie has done a little bit of research into Orson
17:46and there's a few gaps in his story
17:49because I wondered on the honeymoon
17:51whether Orson was playing out a storyline.
17:55One of the first things that put me off
17:57was you going on about the cheating for the second time
18:00and honestly, Jamie, I'm like... Cheating?
18:02..that he'd been cheated on. Oh, right.
18:04I'll be completely honest, I'm thinking, like, this is lame.
18:07Brew who in about being cheated on five years ago?
18:09Or maybe it's just him being his authentic self
18:12and putting himself there and not caring what anyone thinks.
18:16For me, I was like, right, I'm reassuring you,
18:18I'm here for the right reasons.
18:20I wasn't sitting there going, oh, I'm still heartbroken,
18:22I still think about... It wasn't that.
18:24I think Orson opened up on the fact that he was cheated on,
18:26was very brave of him.
18:28He made himself vulnerable and it's not something
18:30that he would normally do.
18:32Shall we go and get the girls some drinks?
18:34Yeah, let's do that.
18:36Maybe I'm very old-fashioned, but Jamie's a bit invasive.
18:41I'm just concerned about what she may have been putting
18:43into Rochelle's head.
18:45So, what's going on? What do you really think of him?
18:48He's a nice guy. I mean, have you seen any signs
18:50of this whole actor-model thing?
18:53No.
18:54From when on the honeymoon he would play in his role
18:57and just him being a little bit disingenuous
18:59and I just don't like that.
19:01I try to just fix it away.
19:03Have you tried?
19:05Yeah, that's good.
19:07Oh, right. OK.
19:09That's the only thing.
19:13Her friend, she has searched every platform you are on.
19:17Do you not think that's a bit...
19:19Bro, like, she could form whatever opinion she wants.
19:22I know what man I am.
19:24I know what qualities I bring to this relationship.
19:27I came here for, like, a man, a real man who can lead me,
19:31not me lead him. I ain't got time for that.
19:33I've just done 20 years of parenting.
19:36I've just got to a place where I just don't really think
19:39that we're that compatible.
19:55Do you ever think you'd see the day
19:57that your little sister gets married?
19:59In this circumstance...
20:01No!
20:03It's the morning of the big day.
20:07The single strangers are just hours away
20:10from marrying their match.
20:14It feels very real now.
20:16I actually can't believe that it's here.
20:18I feel like the run-up has been huge.
20:20I haven't had fucking time to shit, if I'm honest.
20:23What are you hoping that he's going to look like?
20:25What's your dream?
20:27A square face, chiselled, good body,
20:30tanned, into the gym, does his thing.
20:33But as long as there's this instant, like, ooh, yay,
20:35like that little butterfly in your tummy that you get
20:37that I've not had in years. Yeah.
20:39That's what I'm excited for. I'm excited for that little spark
20:41and that little, like, oh, this is going to be fun.
20:43Hopefully I've been matched really well and it's the right person.
20:46I'm not doing it again. I want the fairy tale.
20:49Woo! Yay! Yeah, that'll help.
20:51Being with someone who's equally as confident
20:53is so important for me. Yeah, definitely.
20:55How do you tone it down if you need to?
20:57If he says she's too much, then he's not enough for her.
20:59100%.
21:01So, in terms of Hannah's big personality...
21:03I'm hilarious. Get used to it.
21:06I'm hoping that it's someone that will just bring her down a little bit
21:09if she's getting a bit too, you know, hyped up about food.
21:14You shouldn't deliberately tone yourself out at all.
21:16No, I'm not going to change. She's a handful,
21:18but she's the right handful for the right pair of hands.
21:21I'm so ready to go. Let's go. Let's wrap this up and get ready.
21:26How are you feeling?
21:28Bricking it.
21:30I can't believe today's the big day. My stomach's doing flips.
21:33It feels very different compared to the previous wedding.
21:35I was very young before. It feels a bit more real.
21:38It's just another day in the life, mate.
21:40I ain't going through heartbreak again.
21:43You both saw me. I was a mess.
21:45Yeah, we're not dealing with that again, either.
21:47I hope I do get matched with someone that is my person.
21:51I can't hope for anything more than that.
21:53It's not in my hands now, but I'm bricking it.
21:56Are you hoping your wife is happy that you've got four kids?
21:59Or accepts it? Yeah.
22:01She might have four kids.
22:04Having four children myself, it's hugely important
22:07that my future wife is OK with me having children.
22:10I adore them, so they have to accept it.
22:18Yay! Oh, I love it!
22:21Oh, my word, you look stunning.
22:23This is actually my wife.
22:25Yay!
22:27Ah, it's happening!
22:29You look so, so, so... I'm just getting him in a trip.
22:32I need to not trip. You look amazing!
22:34Look at this veil. It's so stunning.
22:37Oh, you look so good.
22:39You look absolutely insane.
22:41This is a wedding dress. This is wild.
22:43Hannah looks absolutely stunning in her dress.
22:46She's walking down the aisle on her own,
22:48but I think that really does just show you what Hannah's like.
22:51Like, she's strong and she's confident.
22:54I can't believe it. It's here. The day is finally here.
22:58This is mad.
23:00Let's go. Let's marry a stranger. Let's go.
23:08After the previous heartbreak, I know what I want now.
23:11I know what I need in my life.
23:13I know who I am as a person.
23:18I've been married once before. I've got four children.
23:21I've come with a lot.
23:23I'm hoping she accepts. I've got four kids.
23:25Otherwise, it would be a very short marriage.
23:31Oh, my God.
23:43This has to work out.
23:45I love that the experts are hand-picking someone for me.
23:50It's really important for me to be with someone confident
23:53cos I'm so confident.
23:55I feel like I've done things very differently
23:57and I've created my own path.
23:59And I want someone to just fully embrace me for all I am.
24:03Hello. Hi.
24:05Hi, mate.
24:09Hi.
24:10Thanks for coming. Are you nervous?
24:12Yeah. I was fine until about five minutes ago.
24:16Good-looking guy. He's not what I was expecting.
24:19I was expecting a big, tall guy.
24:23I was expecting a big, tall guy.
24:25I was expecting a big, tall guy.
24:27I was expecting a big, tall guy.
24:29I was expecting a big, tall guy.
24:31I was expecting bigger.
24:36Sometimes I'm too reactive and I'm too high-energy.
24:40I'm just really hoping he's going to calm me down and mellow me out,
24:44hold me accountable to my bullshit.
24:47I think I'm just a bit worried he might find it a bit too much.
25:02Hi.
25:03Oh, my God, this is the weirdest show ever.
25:05Jesus.
25:06What the fuck are we doing?
25:08Oh, my God, hi.
25:09Oh, my God.
25:10Hello. Oh, you're really cute.
25:12I'm Stephen. You look stunning.
25:13Nice to meet you.
25:14Nice to meet you. You look incredible.
25:15Hello. Thank you so much.
25:17She looks insane.
25:19There's 100% immediate attraction.
25:22Hi.
25:23Hi, hi, hi.
25:24Hello.
25:25Hello.
25:26Hello.
25:27Hello.
25:28Hello.
25:29Hello.
25:30Hi, hi, hi. Hello.
25:31Oh, you've got loads of boys. Yay.
25:32You've got loads of friends.
25:33These are all fake. I paid them.
25:36Hi.
25:37Hello.
25:38Oh, my God, this is fucking weird.
25:39I know.
25:40Where are you from?
25:41Leeds.
25:42Originally.
25:43Where are you from now?
25:44I live in Berkshire.
25:45Where's that?
25:46Maidenhead.
25:47OK, that sounds nice.
25:48Where are you?
25:50Wow.
25:51Her range levels are up there.
25:54A bit wild.
25:55You can already tell.
25:57She's met her match.
26:00Is this your dad? You've got family?
26:02Yeah, I mean, we could go through it later, but that's my dad.
26:04Nice to meet you.
26:05Fuck, this is wild.
26:06You look incredible.
26:07Thanks.
26:08Are you sure you want to do this?
26:09Absolutely.
26:10Are you sure?
26:11Really happy.
26:12Like, there was an instant spark, which I wanted.
26:13He told me...
26:14..I look beautiful, which is lovely.
26:16I'm excited, I'm happy.
26:17I just hope he says the same.
26:21Stephen and Hannah, you are embarking
26:24with an enormous leap of faith, not knowing where it will lead.
26:28We have now come to the moment where Stephen and Hannah
26:32will make their lifelong pledges to one another
26:35as they read their heartfelt vows.
26:44When you ready, mate? Oh, yeah.
26:48Hannah.
26:49Hi.
26:50On this day, I vow that through the fun times
26:52and the difficult times which there will be,
26:54I will always be in your corner.
26:56As with any relationship, we'll have our disagreements,
26:58but I promise to work with you and on us
27:00to navigate our way through any of these.
27:03I will keep excitement from this day alive
27:05with laughter, fun, romance, spontaneity
27:07and anything else that lights a spark in you.
27:10So this is to us and our future.
27:13That's really cute.
27:16That was cute.
27:17I thought you were more cute.
27:18That was really cute.
27:20Stephen, I genuinely believe that everything happens for a reason
27:23and that every person enters your life
27:25exactly when they're supposed to.
27:27So I really hope that standing here right now in front of you
27:30has been perfectly planned to lead us both to happiness,
27:33amazing memories and maybe even love.
27:35So, Stephen, you're in for one hell of a ride with me.
27:39So buckle up and let's get this slightly unconventional
27:42but unbelievably exciting journey started
27:44and let's hope it becomes the real-life love story
27:47we've both been waiting for.
27:50Well done.
27:54Would you now like to celebrate your union
27:56with your very first kiss?
28:00Are we doing it?
28:07You can have this.
28:10Thanks.
28:11Can't believe my dad just saw that.
28:13We can do better than that. That was intense.
28:15Way better.
28:16We'll practise. We'll practise.
28:18Yeah, we'll practise.
28:26He is cute. I like him. I think we've got a good vibe.
28:29He's got gorgeous blue eyes.
28:31He's got nice arms.
28:32He's hot.
28:33There's 100% a spark.
28:35Immediate attraction.
28:37But, yeah, I still need to have the conversation
28:39with her that I've got children and I've been married before.
28:42I'm absolutely pricking myself.
28:49HE SIGHS
28:52I could tell that Richelle isn't in a great mood.
29:00After seeing Jamie,
29:02there were a couple of things that came up that I mulled over.
29:06Some of his career doesn't quite add up.
29:10I was concerned about a couple of things on the honeymoon.
29:13Orson mentioning his ex and being cheated on
29:16two nights in a row.
29:18And then I started to get paranoid
29:20that he was carving out some sort of narrative and storyline
29:23which would make me question how genuine he is about the process and me.
29:27In my head, something that ain't quite adding up on honeymoon,
29:31you brought up something that I queried all along the way
29:34about you being cheated on five years ago
29:37and it's only really come back up today.
29:40If you're playing a role, if you're acting,
29:43bring me in so I'm not the one on the outside
29:46who doesn't actually know what's going on in this picture here.
29:49Come up with a better storyline than I was cheated on five years ago.
29:53And it was a very simple comment.
29:56Let's come up with a better storyline than that
29:58if that's what you want to run with.
30:00Then give me 20% of your future earnings for the next five years.
30:07I was cheated on five years ago.
30:09I'm past that. That is behind me.
30:11Who wants to go on what is essentially a first date
30:13and have the man telling them they were cheated on five years ago?
30:16Five years!
30:18And the statement was, I was cheated on five years ago,
30:21I'm over it, I'm all about you.
30:24Did I know that that put you off me?
30:27Can't you interpret what I'm saying?
30:30Do I have to spell it out?
30:32I'm asking you.
30:34Did I not ask you, why are you telling me this?
30:36Then the next day when we were filming,
30:38did I not say I question your emotional resilience?
30:41I don't remember you asking.
30:43You don't remember when we were sitting on top of that waterfall
30:45in that stupid wet picnic, the rain coming down on us,
30:48and I said to you, I worry about your emotional resilience
30:52if you're still talking about being cheated on five years ago.
30:55You don't remember that conversation?
30:57Honestly, I don't.
30:59Yes, you do have an idea. Don't act like you don't have an idea.
31:01This is the thing with you. You just catch so much shit.
31:04You don't have an idea. We literally talked about it.
31:06And now you're acting like you don't have an idea.
31:08Say it. Oh, my God.
31:10Fucking say it. Say what? I just said it.
31:12And you're acting like you don't have an idea.
31:15No, say it. You're just a gaslighter.
31:18You're just a gaslighter. You're embarrassed.
31:20Embarrassed about what? You're embarrassed.
31:22Because you ran with a storyline that I thought was exceptionally lame
31:26and put me off you.
31:28What do you think your boys are going to say
31:30when you're sitting on TV crying about being cheated on five years ago?
31:34So why are you now acting like you don't know what any of this is about?
31:37This is the thing. You're not consistent, Orson.
31:40You're not consistent, but now you'll sit here and say,
31:43you don't know what any of this is about.
31:45I can't play this game. I'm too old for this nonsense.
31:52I'm shocked.
31:54I really don't see the big hoo-ha.
31:58I've been nothing but myself.
32:02So if she's not got rid of those things from out of her head,
32:07I can't help her.
32:32When you are young, they assume you know nothing.
32:36But I knew you.
32:40Dancing in your Levi's, drunk under a streetlight.
32:44I, I knew you.
32:48Hand under my sweatshirt, baby, kiss it better.
32:52I, and when I felt like I wasn't, I caught it in.
32:56Under someone's bed, you put me on and said
33:00I was your favourite, a friend.
33:03So all is a friend to none.
33:08These two girls lose the one.
33:12When you are young, they assume you know nothing.
33:17But I knew you.
33:20I was so excited.
33:22It's in-laws week.
33:23Holly and Alex are awaiting their family and friends.
33:27Even though we've had a bit of a rollercoaster journey,
33:30they're probably going to see it as, like,
33:32well, you can sort it out clearly and come away from it
33:35and be, like, sweet.
33:36Exactly.
33:39Someone's at the door.
33:44Oh, I'm going to cry.
33:46Oh, don't cry, it's OK.
33:54Are you OK?
33:55You smell so nice. You smell really nice.
33:57Is it me or the chicken?
34:01Oh, my God.
34:05I'm about to blow a nail.
34:07Sit down, babe.
34:08I really want the best for Holly.
34:09Like, she's been so unlucky in love in the past,
34:12so I'm just hoping that, you know, it's going the right way,
34:15because she deserves it, she doesn't deserve anything less.
34:20You look good.
34:21Do I? Yeah, you look good.
34:22I've lost weight.
34:23Yeah, you look like you've lost weight.
34:25The girl's been busy, that's all I'm saying.
34:29Oh, I love that.
34:30I don't mean you either.
34:32Alex, how are you feeling?
34:34She has a lot to handle, isn't she?
34:38I'm all right, you know, I'm all right.
34:43Feeling so excited, but apprehensive,
34:47because I want to know that it's all going well.
34:53SHE SCREAMS
35:03It's not real.
35:07I'm expecting issues, because it's all fresh and new,
35:10so you're getting to know somebody for the first time,
35:14their likes, their dislikes.
35:16Obviously, they fill you in on all the juice, all the tea, all the wine.
35:20I need to know.
35:23Oh, girl, you ain't ready. You ain't ready.
35:27It has been a whirlwind.
35:29Yeah. I can't imagine.
35:31But we're still here. Yeah.
35:33So that's a good sign.
35:34So anything we tell you, it's led us to be where we are today.
35:38Yeah, definitely.
35:39Which is the best place we've ever been in, to be fair.
35:41Basically, we struggled when it comes to communication.
35:45So everything else is perfect.
35:48The way we are together, you know, we're affectionate.
35:51Like, we make each other laugh.
35:54Like, Alex is the energy that I've waited for.
35:58And one thing I have said throughout this process,
36:01I always cry when I say this, and I can't hold it in.
36:06Alex is the first guy to ever make me feel comfortable
36:09without make-up and in my own body.
36:12Aw.
36:15I'm not the skinniest of girls, but I love that I'm curvy,
36:18and he makes me feel so attractive.
36:22Yeah.
36:23But when we come to communicating,
36:25when something gets a little bit tricky...
36:27Yeah, you don't know how to...
36:29We clash, and it's a bonfire.
36:32It's not even... It's...
36:34And everyone around us is like...
36:36But that's the key word, though, it's when everyone's around us.
36:39That's why on here we've got discussing things in private.
36:42It's a bit awkward, cos I can tell there's, like, some tension here.
36:46I really wasn't expecting to find out that it's been such a bumpy ride.
36:51It's only just moved in, right?
36:53Because we had a few arguments, so we spent a few days apart, but...
36:56Our first real big clash was my comment at the stag,
36:59and then it got back to Holly, and they took away some bits
37:02and added some bits.
37:03It was said as though,
37:04so do you know your husband said on the stag day,
37:07if he's not happy in his marriage, he's going to go with another wife.
37:11I wanted to shut it down, cos I felt humiliated.
37:14Yeah, 100%.
37:15Cos I gave Alex the chance to say to me what he'd said, and he didn't.
37:19So, no, I said to you, what did you say on the stag?
37:22Yeah, and I told you.
37:23You didn't, you was like, right.
37:26What are you talking about? I told you.
37:28And then I said to you, you've made a comment to say,
37:30if he wasn't happy with your wife, he'd go with someone else,
37:32and that's when you agreed.
37:33No, I told you my answer.
37:35I told you my answer.
37:36Here we go.
37:38I haven't a here we go thing, though.
37:40I just don't think it needs to be a thing now.
37:42Like, I'm just saying, I don't recall you actually saying that.
37:45But the thing was, you wasn't with Holly at the time.
37:49I would have just been like, wait a minute, before you say anything,
37:52you need to get the other person who's involved as well,
37:54so they can hear it.
37:55In situations like that, hear each other's side of what...
38:00Cos sometimes hearsay can twist and put things in another entity.
38:07Yeah.
38:08And, like...
38:09What I'm really happy about is that comment's been made,
38:12the fact how strong he's are now, I'd be smug.
38:16We've moved on from it.
38:18Nah, you know what?
38:19We're meant now, aren't we?
38:20Yeah, yeah, bang on.
38:22The issues and arguments between Alex and Holly,
38:26in a strange way, it's made me feel good,
38:29because they're battling to stay together.
38:34I knew if I saw a beaming smile on his face, he's happy.
38:39And I was so glad when that door opened and I saw the smile.
38:43It was just like...
38:44Really?
38:45It's OK. He's got this.
38:47Holly and Alex, you can tell they've had some ups and downs,
38:50but they've come a long way.
38:51I really hope this works out.
38:52I know this means the world to her.
38:54You've got it, saying 70%.
38:57Yeah.
38:58You've just got to fine-tune it now.
39:00And I feel it in my heart that you're contented.
39:09MUSIC PLAYS
39:17Erm...
39:18How old are you?
39:1933.
39:20I'm 32 tomorrow. It's my birthday tomorrow.
39:22No way.
39:23How wild.
39:24Yeah.
39:25OK.
39:26Right, so what moved you down south?
39:29I was playing rugby in Australia for three years.
39:31Professionally?
39:32Semi.
39:33That's fun.
39:34Yeah.
39:35I own a gym.
39:36Do you?
39:37That's where I dance.
39:38Hannah does like to talk.
39:41I'm waiting for the right time to tell her.
39:43I've got four kids.
39:46Yeah, and I box.
39:47OK.
39:48Stop it. Do you actually?
39:49Yeah.
39:50I love boxing. It's my favourite thing.
39:51I know.
39:52I dream of the next pro.
39:53Do you?
39:54Yeah.
39:55Oh, you're probably able to throw hands better than me.
39:56Yeah, I could fuck you up.
39:57Yeah, you can try.
39:58I do really like her, and we do really get on,
40:01so I'm a bit apprehensive.
40:02I mean, it's the biggest bombshell to kind of just drop on anyone,
40:05cos it's one thing having children, it's another thing having four.
40:07I'm quite fiery. Did you ask for someone fiery?
40:09Yeah.
40:10Cos if you ask for a wallflower, you are fucked.
40:12I asked for that.
40:13When I do drop that bombshell, it opens up a lot of questions,
40:16so we just need that close one-on-one time where it can really open up.
40:21You're quite manly, I like it.
40:23You're probably a manly man.
40:25I think we fancy each other.
40:27I think there's definitely a vibe between us.
40:29You've got very nice eyes.
40:30So are you.
40:31I love a blue eye.
40:32I want to feel your muscles.
40:33Muscles.
40:38I think it's just really good, fun vibes.
40:40There's nothing that surprised me,
40:42there's nothing that's... There's no curveball so far.
40:52Cheers!
41:00You look so good!
41:04This is cute. Hi, everyone.
41:09Cheers, everyone.
41:10Cheers.
41:11Thanks for coming.
41:12Cheers.
41:13Cheers, honey.
41:18Can I show you a picture of my dog?
41:20What's his name?
41:21Albie.
41:22Albie, nice.
41:23He's very cute.
41:25Got good vibes.
41:26I feel like we fancy each other, which is a vibe.
41:28Oh, definitely.
41:33Everything, mate.
41:34I can see it from the bowels.
41:36She's 33 tomorrow.
41:38Oh, same age.
41:39Yeah.
41:40I haven't told about the kids yet.
41:42Have you not?
41:43No.
41:44It's been a nice environment.
41:45I'm going to have to do it here, though.
41:47Oh, yeah.
41:48Can't just take her away and tell her.
41:53Oh, this is cute.
41:55It is.
41:56What do you want to chat about?
41:57I've been building up to this all day.
41:59Who do you live with?
42:02On my own.
42:03Yeah.
42:04Number one question, really important.
42:07Everything's riding on this.
42:09Would you move?
42:14I've got something in Leeds
42:16that takes me to Leeds all the time.
42:21OK.
42:22Have you got a child?
42:28Four children.
42:29Four?
42:30Yeah.
42:31You have four children?
42:32Yeah.
42:36Four children is a lot.
42:37Like, four is a lot.
42:39I was not expecting that.
42:42Obviously raised a little bit of a flag in my head.
42:4414, 12, 8 and a 7.
42:49OK.
42:51He's got four children.
42:55You don't like it.
42:56You don't like it.
42:57They're my kids.
43:00My kids do come first.
43:05Four's a lot.
43:15He's got four children.
43:24Yeah.
43:26Four's a lot.
43:28How often do you see them?
43:29Every other week I go up to them, innit?
43:31Every other week you go up to Leeds?
43:34I think the fact that Stephen has said he's got four children
43:37has obviously raised a little bit of a flag in my head.
43:40It's like, oh, he doesn't want any more.
43:42But it's massively important that whoever I end up with
43:45wants children.
43:46I don't have children, but I really want them.
43:49It's like a number one thing for me.
43:52Would you have another one?
43:55I've always said, this is a long answer.
43:59I've always said, if I don't have any more now,
44:02I'll be happy because I've got four great kids.
44:06If I meet someone who I fall in love with
44:08and they want children and I can give them children,
44:10I would absolutely have children.
44:11OK.
44:12So it depends on the person.
44:13Yeah, it's really hard to say yes or no.
44:16I'd be happy either way.
44:17Yeah, absolutely.
44:18How many do you want?
44:19I can give you... I'll probably give you a few.
44:21Well, you couldn't even work in this mask!
44:25It is a real challenge.
44:27It is a relief, the way she's reacted about the children.
44:30That being said, I was prepared for any reaction.
44:33But you never know, cos it's one thing having children,
44:35it's another thing having four.
44:36But she's taken it brilliantly.
44:38Just a couple.
44:39Yeah.
44:40But, like, soon.
44:42I think even being open to children,
44:44especially having four, that's important to me.
44:46Hi, gals.
44:47Hello.
44:48You OK?
44:49Yeah.
44:50Feel good?
44:51He's been really sweet with me.
44:52He's a nice boy.
44:53He's cute.
44:57He's your age and he's got four kids?
44:59Yeah.
45:00That's crazy, isn't it?
45:01I just think, at the end of the day,
45:03no matter what, we're going to have a really good time.
45:05We're going to have fun.
45:06We're getting on really well.
45:07Really flirty, like a good match.
45:09I'm just going to just chill you out.
45:11I'm really happy.
45:12I like it.
45:13Yay!
45:14It's such a good vibe.
45:15It almost feels a little bit too good to be true.
45:19Yeah.
45:20Get in.
45:21Don't.
45:22It's hot!
45:23I know.
45:24But it is, honestly.
45:25Your smile says it all.
45:26Yeah.
45:27Brain's starting to kick in.
45:28Don't let it.
45:29You let yourself...
45:30You let your walls down.
45:31It gets me scared.
45:33Don't overthink it.
45:34Just take it one day at a time.
45:36Show your vulnerability.
45:37We've been matched really well,
45:39but it hit me a little bit of, like,
45:41you're going to let your guard down with someone,
45:43cos I haven't let my guard down with someone in a long time.
45:46I'm excited.
45:47I'm excited to see what happens.
45:49I think, potentially, at some point,
45:51you're going to have to let yourself back some more.
45:55I don't know.
46:02Have you enjoyed it?
46:03Yeah, such a good day.
46:04Just don't screw me over.
46:06Just make one promise we don't screw each other up.
46:08Did I not say that?
46:09Just me and you.
46:10I know, but I just...
46:11As long as we're good, we're going to have fun.
46:13We're going to be people in the corner watching everyone's drama.
46:15We're going to have fun.
46:16Just having a great time.
46:17Cheers to you.
46:18I'm not here to...
46:19I think we're going to have fun.
46:20Are you happy, though?
46:21Yeah, I'm really happy.
46:22Are you?
46:23Do you not feel a little bit like it's too good to be true?
46:26That scares me a bit.
46:27Yeah, but I'm rolling with it.
46:28I feel like that scares me a bit.
46:29Communication is everything to me.
46:31Communication is 100%.
46:32Yeah.
46:33Communication and, like, emotional maturity is huge.
46:35Yeah.
46:36From the minute we met,
46:37I genuinely just feel like I can just fully be myself
46:40and I don't feel like I've had to be, like,
46:42this cute little filtered version of myself,
46:44and that's huge for me.
46:45Just be you.
46:46I think the fact that we both...
46:48I walked down and you turned around and looked at me
46:50and there was just this...
46:51It's fair I'd have been like, oh, shit.
46:52Cos, as I'm getting older,
46:54the personality and being a good person
46:56is massively important to me,
46:57but equally I want to take your clothes off at the same time.
46:59100%.
47:09The wedding day of dreams.
47:11I genuinely feel like it couldn't have gone any better
47:14and I think I've got a really good match and I'm really excited.
47:17She's not what I expected at all, but she's exactly what I wanted.
47:21I'm excited to see where it goes.
47:23Over the moon.
47:28Next time...
47:29Oh, I can't wait to see my dad!
47:31..the arrival of more in-laws puts on the pressure...
47:35Your approval is the most important.
47:38..as Ross seeks a father's blessing.
47:41My dad's not happy.
47:42Could all get it up.
47:44..while an insensitive comment from Casper...
47:47I've never fancied curvy women.
47:49Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
47:50That was poor delivery.
47:52You can't say that.
47:53That's not a nice thing to say.
47:56..prompts brutal honesty from a best friend...
47:59Right now, I don't think he's the man for you.
48:03..and the experiment's final two singles...
48:06True love means everything.
48:07I'd hope that she is the one.
48:09I've been so unlucky in past relationships.
48:12I've put all my hope into this one.
48:14..meet and marry at the altar...
48:17What am I doing, guys?
48:18..but will the bride get in cold feet?
48:20Feeling very overwhelmed.
48:22Do you take Ryan to be your husband?
48:25..stop the marriage in its tracks?
48:27I'm scared and want to run away.
48:30I feel like this is a massive mistake.
