Bec Zacharia Defends Marriage, Slams Insecure Label

Married At First Sight bride Rebecca 'Bec' Zacharia has hit back at claims she is insecure and putting on a front.

Speaking to Daily Mail, the Adelaide socialite, 36, insisted viewers are finally starting to see the real connection between herself and husband Danny Hewitt during Revelations Week.

Bec said the latest instalment marked the first time she felt their relationship had been portrayed fairly on screen.

'I actually felt really good watching Wednesday's episode,' she said.

'For the first time since the series started, you could see that there is a genuine connection between Danny and I.'

Bec admitted she has been frustrated by the way earlier episodes painted her as overly insecure, claiming many positive moments from their honeymoon were left on the cutting room floor.

Speaking to Daily Mail, the Adelaide socialite 36, insisted viewers are finally starting to see the real connection between herself and husband Danny Hewitt during Revelations Week

'I feel like it's been a little bit negative, making me look extremely insecure,' she said.

'But there were so many good moments throughout our honeymoon that weren't shown. Yesterday really showed that we actually have a really strong connection.'

One of the most talked-about scenes of the episode was Danny dramatically throwing the remaining photos out the window during the Photo Ranking Task after ranking Bec number one.

While Bec acknowledged Danny's flair for theatrics, she insisted the gesture felt genuine in the moment.

'It was really comforting for him to do that,' she said.

'We know Danny's a showman, he likes to do big things, but in that moment it didn't feel like a show. It felt like he was taking a stand and saying, 'I have eyes only for you in this experiment.'

However, Bec revealed the move may not have been entirely spontaneous.

'I know he opened the balcony door before we started filming, so he probably already had it planned,' she said.

'I actually felt really good watching Wednesday's episode,' she said. 'For the first time since the series started, you could see that there is a genuine connection between Danny and I' 

'He knew it would make me feel positive, but he also knew it would be a big splash.'

Behind the scenes, she said the moment was far less polished than what viewers saw.

'That photo actually got stuck to the glass outside and we had to go down with a producer to get it,' she laughed.

'He was definitely in trouble.'

As Revelations Week intensified, Bec said tension among the brides reached boiling point, with competitiveness creeping into conversations about whose relationships were real.

'There was definitely a level of competition with the girls that night,' she said.

'Without a doubt.'

She confirmed that several brides questioned the authenticity of other couples, including her own marriage to Danny.

'I know Alissa [Faye] had reservations about Danny and I,' she said.

'And Brooke definitely had reservations about a few couples.'

Despite being accused of hiding issues, Bec insisted she was simply protecting her relationship.

'People were saying I was hiding things, but I was protecting my marriage at that point,' she said.

'At least Danny and I were authentic enough to say things weren't perfect.'

Bec also weighed in on Brooke's turbulent relationship with Chris, saying what viewers are seeing reflects reality.

'They actually grew really close on the honeymoon,' she said.

'But the way it's playing out on the show is accurate. Chris took accountability straight away and said he needed to change.'

Watching other couples' struggles unfold on screen has been eye-opening for Bec, particularly those who appeared solid during filming.

'You don't know what's happening behind closed doors,' she said.

Bec admitted that she had no idea what was going on behind the doors with Melissa Akbay and Luke Fourniotis.

She added that couples presenting themselves as secure often have cracks viewers never see.

'All these people who look so secure actually do have cracks,' she said.

'They're just hiding it. Whereas Danny and I were honest.'

Looking ahead, Bec warned the upcoming dinner party will be one of the most explosive of the season.

'It's Armageddon,' she said.

'That dinner party went for about two hours. It was that intense.'

She described vicious exchanges, swearing, catfights and unresolved tension spilling over.

'There were vicious tongues, lots of yelling, a lot of animosity between women and couples,' she said.

'And that wasn't producer-led. People were genuinely going at each other.'

Despite the chaos ahead, Bec made it clear where her loyalty lies.

'If anyone comes for my husband, I'll defend him,' she said.

Married At First Sight continues Sunday at 7pm on Channel Nine
