The couple, who have had intimacy issues since entering the experiment, had only just shared their happy news with the group when Bec made her joke.
Bec had started by acknowledging that Joel and Juliette had made progress, while Filip had declared his love for his bride Stella.
'Guys… it's the first night of retreat, and we've had I love yous,' she said.
'And we've had a couple who I thought could not come back from the brink of hell.
'And we've had fingerb***ing.'
At first, Rachel tried to defuse the tension, but things quickly escalated when Bec realised that her attempt at humour had gone down badly with the group.

'Bec, a quick apology to Rach,' Sam suggested, which appeared to surprise the controversial bride.
'Oh, I'm so sorry, I apologise, it was meant to be a bit of fun,' Bec told Rachel, but the hurt bride was having none of it.
Rachel replied: 'I didn't think it was funny... I shared with you guys that we took intimacy to a new level, which is really important for Steve and me, and you just made a joke of it.'
