The honeymoon period is almost over, with the Married at First Sight UK couples set to head back home and settle into married life. But, as has become customary with the reality show, it’s a job easier said than done.
In preview exclusive to RadioTimes.com, Jess and Pjay sit down in front of experts Paul C Brunson, Mel Schilling and Charlene Douglas – and the rest of the MAFS cast – to discuss how they’re feeling after tying the knot and spending some time getting to know each other.
And it appears they’re not on the same page.
“I came into this with high expectations really, and thinking ‘Oh, it’s going to be all rosey straight away,’ and I shouldn’t have done that, but I did,” Jess said, “I felt like I wanted someone on the same level as me.”
When asked to clarify by Mel, she explains that she wanted someone who “has their own house and things like that” she explained, before adding, “I know that sounds really, really superficial.”
Though Jess said she thinks Pjay is good enough for her, she doesn’t think their connection is strong enough. Pjay, who has already discussed leaving his job as a stripper for Jess, doesn’t take it well, with his fellow contestants noting how “sad” he looks.
When asked how he’s feeling, Pjay said he’s “just a bit of a lost sheep”. He also reiterated how much he likes Jess, adding: “I think you’re incredible, you know what I mean, I literally want to tell you the world I’m not going to lie, I just have to get there.”
Watch the awkward exchange for yourself below.
