Rachel Blames Becs Comment for Romance Ruin

Married At First Sight's Rachel Gilmore has been dealing with the fallout of Bec Zacharia's vulgar comments about her sex life at this week's Couples Retreat. 

The 35-year-old broke down in tears after Bec mocked her for being 'fingerb***ed' by her groom, Steven Danyluk. 

The blow-up continued a second night, with Rachel storming off from the retreat and Bec fleeing to stay at a hotel. 

But the drama didn't end there, with Rachel admitting that the scrutiny destroyed her love life with Steven. 

'Steven and I no longer felt comfortable being intimate,' Rachel told TV Week.

Rachel admitted that the pair were reluctant to explore the growing closeness in their marriage due to the cruel comments. 

'We didn't want to be made fun of again,' she said.

Bec was supposed to be toasting the relationship breakthrough for Steven and Rachel in front of the other couples when she said the pair had experienced their first 'fingerb**g.' 

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.
