AS Married At First Sight Australia’s intimacy week begins, one bride is left feeling red-faced after hoping for a kiss from her husband.
Since meeting at the altar, Rachel Gilmore and Steven Danyluk have been getting on well when it comes to emotional chemistry, but have failed to make progress in the physical department.
MAFS’ Rachel Gilmore is left feeling awkward as she begs her husband Steven to kiss her in a preview for one of the show’s upcoming episodes
Despite his wife’s advances, Steven appeared hesitant to oblige in a first look for the show’s intimacy week
The couple are yet to even kiss during the experiment, despite weeks of marriage.
And in a teaser for tomorrow night’s episode of the show, it seems things aren’t looking up for Rachel and Steven.
The couple are tasked with playing out one another’s ‘ultimate fantasy’, with the teaser showing Rachel blindfolded as she asked Steven to kiss her.
Holding up a large notebook, Rachel had written on it: “Kiss me now, the kind of kiss that makes me feel something.”
The next page read: “Kiss me… please.”
Despite Rachel’s clear attempt for intimacy, Steven awkwardly remained a few feet away as he read the message aloud.
But instead of kissing her, he appeared to freeze and was clearly undecided on what to do, despite his wife’s several asks.
It’s not the first hiccup in the road for Steven and Rachel,
As the pair enjoyed a trip to a vineyard, Rachel told her husband about the love she has for football – something she shared with her dad while growing up.
Making a joke, Steven replied: “Don’t take this the wrong way, it’s not something I see in females that often, especially football.
“So see how you’re being all ladylike now, and I’ll say it out loud,” before shouting like a hooligan to imitate football spectators.
“Do you turn into that?,” Steven asked as Rachel quickly set him straight and said: “That’s not what I’m like and I don’t want you to paint a picture of me.”
“I’m sitting here telling you that’s not what I’m like so please accept that, I’m telling you how I am.”
As she began to get tearful, Steven said: “I’m sorry you feel that way but it is just bantering.”
Steven continued to assure it was solely a joke, but Rachel burst into tears – leaving him ridden with guilt.
MAFS continues tonight at 7.30pm on E4
