Married at First Sight’s Mishel and Steve are a confusing pair aren’t they?
Always smooching, hugging and tactile, yet they sleep in separate bedrooms and have a barney at least once an episode.
WATCH: Mishel worried she and Steve aren’t as intimate as other couples
But it’s intimacy week and the pair haven’t passed first base. As Mishel tells her fellow brides at the dinner party, “It was like the over 50s version of Intimacy Week. It’s like we’ve been married for 30 years. You know, you don’t have sex.”
After Cathy had given Mishel a run down of everything she and Luke had got up to – lingerie shopping, dress ups, whips… she didn’t seem too impressed with Steve buying her pyjamas.
“And I just think, ‘oh wow, why don’t we do that?” she said to camera, with Steve by her side.
He, of course, didn’t agree with her.
When the episode started, we’d found them still reeling from the previous night’s row, in which Mishel said she desired more adventure in their relationship.
“We may as well go to the retirement village,” she told Steve. “At least they’d have planned activities for us,” causing Steve to storm off.
The next day, Mishel says she “feels like crap, feel like shit” as she studies her wedding ring.
Steve, stubborn as ever, is sulking in bed, arms crossed.
“Last night was a bit full on,” he said to camera. “It just got a bit too much for me I think. It was the heated discussion and then I lost it and it’s just not acceptable for me.”
Steve then initiates a hug with Mishel, then gives her a speech about how he’s sorry he stormed and he’s not perfect “by any stretch of the imagination.”
Mishel also apologised, which moved Steve to tears.
Then Mishel, reassured that they could talk about what happened, told the camera, “I still feel a little bit bruised, but I’m ready to move forward.”
Is there a chance these two will get it on? We wouldn’t put money on it.
