Married At First Sight viewers were left stunned on Tuesday as they watched this season’s strongest couple start to implode<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dave Hand and Jamie Marinos, who quickly became fan favourites for their strong bond and instant connection, revealed they may not be as close as it seems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The towering tradie, 36, was left questioning his relationship with his bride, 28, after he woke up in bed next to Veronica Cloherty during ‘partner swap’ week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dave and Veronica, 32, were caught getting cosy and giggling in the bed he shares with Jamie when producers entered the room on the final morning of the challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the pair were separated and asked how they got along during the couple swap, the ‘gentle giant’ and personal trainer became cagey with their answers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Yeah fine. We get on. So it’s good. I am having a good time. I’m not going to deny that. It’s a stark contrast to my relationship with Eliot,’ Veronica said.<\/p>\n\n\n

‘It’s definitely different. Feedback week has given me time to think,’ Dave added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Prior to leaving the apartment, Jamie told me she loved me and I did not say it back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Jamie saying that she loves me sort of put the pressure on me but I don’t move that quick. I had to take the time to think about that,’ he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pair were later seen on a date and tension filled the air as they kept locking eyes and giggling with one another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘It’s been good having a little break from it all. It’s nice to chat about it to someone who gets it,’ Veronica told Dave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘It can get very intense. You can start to overthink. It’s not easy with Eliot. Maybe I’m not chill enough for him.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dave immediately jumped in to talk Veronica up, saying: ‘I’ve only got a little period of time with you but I don’t think that’s true at all. I think you’re pretty easy going.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The compliment left Veronica blushing as she agreed: ‘I think I am too. I think I’m pretty chill.’<\/p>\n\n\n

Producers then pulled Veronica aside to question her suddenly bubbly behaviour, which was in stark contrast to her harsh interactions with Eliot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘The last few days have been really great. I’m having a great time. Dave’s an attractive person. [We] have a similar sense of humour. He’s ticking a lot of boxes,’ she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘It’s very easy spending time with Dave. He’s attentive, he looks at me when I come into the room. We laugh.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dave also sang Veronica her praises, though he appeared to be more careful with his comments about her.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Eliot seemed to struggle to get along with Veronica so I was a bit wary of it at the start. She’s actually pretty cool,’ he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘I think Veronica and I are pretty similar. She is a good person. We have good banter.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But while Dave let loose with bride Veronica, his TV ‘wife’ Jamie was facing a harsh truth back in the hotel with Adrian Araouzou, who she was paired with for the week.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the Honesty Letter challenge, Jamie confided in Adrian, 30, saying Dave didn’t want to have sex as frequently as she did.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
