Married At First Sight’s Ellie Dix was left fuming that she was ‘done’ with groom Ben Walters during Tuesday night’s drama-packed episode.

The nurse, 32, and the tour guide, 38, have had a rocky relationship so far in the dating experiment, and it all came to a head in Sunday’s commitment ceremony, when Ellie wrote ‘leave’ on her board.

Ben then vanished and refused to talk to Ellie for hours, before returning home in Tuesday’s episode for a heart-to-heart, where they agreed to work on things.

Ben thanked Ellie for making him aware of his ‘f**ked up behaviour’ and even wrote her a song, called Thank You Ellie, as an apology, reducing her to tears as they appeared to be taking positive steps.

However, the couple then had a shocking row which saw Ellie fume that she would ‘rather be single’ than be with Ben as she was left enraged by his actions.

The nurse, 32, and the tour guide, 38, have had a rocky relationship so far in the dating experiment, and it all came to a head on Tuesday when the pair had a blazing row 

She explained how they had a blazing row after Ben spent two and a half hours telling her everything he didn’t like about her and their relationship.

She accused him of ‘nit-picking’ as she claimed he told her that she didn’t like that she wore make-up and the fact that she is 32 years old and from the Gold Coast.

She told producers: ‘I took notes, he didn’t like that I applied make-up because he’s used to dating girls that don’t wear a lot. He didn’t like the fact that I’m 32 and he’s 39, he reckons there’s a generational gap.

‘He didn’t like the fact that I was from the Gold Coast. He didn’t like that I am sensitive or emotional and he’d also like good conversation with me, apparently he’s not getting good conversation. 

‘He wanted to highlight everything he’s been feeling in the past five weeks, I don’t know what the purpose was, it’s so hurtful. 

‘Telling me he’s not used to girls that don’t wear make-up – what’s that going to achieve other than make me feel s**t about myself?’

‘I’m so confused, not so long ago, Ben was writing songs […] and then all of a sudden Ben sat me down for 2 and a half hours and listed everything he has not enjoyed about this relationship and me. It was just like nit-picking at me,’ she added.

Of the row, Ben insisted he was just trying to be honest and share his feelings, before complaining that the row was ‘horrendous timing’ because he has just had a tooth removed and can’t eat.

He said of the blow-up: ‘I requested that we’ve got to talk about the relationship, I wanted to be honest and I was just telling her how I feel the best I possibly can, and it just didn’t sit well obviously.’ 

‘She wants real, she wants honest, here I am,’ he added.

Ellie was seen demanding for him to leave as she fumed that she didn’t want to spend the night in the same house as him, before insisting she was ‘done’.

‘I actually had a little glimmer of hope this afternoon, but now I feel cheated after this experiment, he’s just wasted my time,’ she said.

The shock row came just hours after the couple appeared to be making progress, with Ben bizarrely writing Ellie an apology song after their commitment ceremony fallout 

‘I’m not coming back from this, I’m not doing it to myself anymore, I’m so done. I’d rather be single than spend another night with Ben.’

At the end of the episode, a spoiler clip teased even more drama for the couple as Ben was seen making a mystery shock revelation at the upcoming dinner party.

The footage showed jaws dropping around the table as his fellow contestants looked stunned by his remark, which wasn’t revealed, while Ellie broke down in tears.
