Anita and Paul face another test on Married at First Sight UK after commitment ceremony clash

Married at First Sight UK aired a new episode on Wednesday, 1 October 202,5, at 9 p.m. on E4 that showed Anita and Paul trying to rebuild their connection after an earlier setback.

Anita had voted to leave the experiment during the first commitment ceremony, and the pair had been living separately since moving in together.

This episode showed them being asked to talk openly about their expectations and feelings.

Anita had been concerned that Paul used humor to hide his true feelings, while Paul had been unsure how to respond to her questions about their future.

During the conversation, Paul asked Anita whether she would give their marriage enough time. Anita replied,

“How long is a piece of string? I’m not in a hurry; it’s more a case of I need to know where this relationship is going.”

She also asked what was on his mind and whether he was fully committed or not.

These exchanges reflected their ongoing struggle to build trust and understanding.

The couple were the last to be matched on the series, with Anita hoping for a “silver fox” partner and Paul entering the experiment after years of being single following his divorce.

Anita and Paul revisit earlier tensions and expectations in Married at First Sight UK

In this segment of the episode, Anita and Paul revisited earlier tensions from their honeymoon and move-in period.

Anita had previously expressed worry that Paul’s humor was masking his true feelings.

This episode continued that thread by showing how Anita asked Paul if he remembered the names of her children.

When he did not, she reacted by saying she was “far from impressed,” according to the footage shown.

Paul, for his part, asked Anita whether she would give the marriage enough time to develop. The show played a clip of Anita responding, “How long is a piece of string?” which framed her uncertainty about the process. The scene also included Anita saying,

“I need to know where this relationship is going,” highlighting her focus on clarity.

Paul listened but offered few direct answers, which reflected the couple’s pattern from earlier episodes where Anita sought explicit commitments while Paul hesitated.

Married at First Sight UK Viewers also saw background about Anita being ready to embrace life “to its full potential” and take another chance on love, while Paul had been single since his 2011 divorce and used dating apps without progressing past first dates. 

The exercise brought out deeper questions about commitment and plans in Married at First Sight UK

Later in this episode of Married at First Sight UK, the couple participated in an exercise where they were told to ask each other anything.

This segment built on their previous conversations and added new layers about their expectations.

Paul’s question about giving the marriage time led Anita to describe her priorities in more detail. She told him,

“It’s more a case of I need to know where this relationship is going,” signaling that she wanted to understand his intentions.

She also asked,

“What’s on your mind, what you want out of it, whether you’re fully committed,” which placed the focus on Paul’s plans for the future.

Paul did not provide a clear answer in the clip shown, and the episode highlighted how this lack of response had been a recurring issue between them.

The program also reminded viewers that Anita and Paul were the last couple to be matched on the series.

Anita had been looking for a partner who could match her energy and was described as keen to “take the gamble on love one more time,” while Paul had been cautious after years without a lasting relationship.

This scene left the question open of whether the two could align their expectations and continue in the experiment together.
