A Married at First Sight UK couple is bracing for some harsh realities in tonight’s episode.
Brighton-based groom Bailey, 36, tied the knot with Liverpool bride Rebecca, 32, at the start of the experiment and they’ve since formed a solid connection.
However, as the show draws to a close, the pair are grappling with what their future might look like outside the experiment.
In scenes due to air on Sunday (November 2), the couple sit down with Bailey’s sister to reflect on their marriage journey so far.
Despite the groom insisting that everything has been going swimmingly, he admits that the long distance could pose a problem, reports OK!.
Bailey admits: “Everything’s great, but we live opposite ends of the b****y country.”
The sales manager, who has a three-year-old daughter named Bluebell, is adamant about not moving away from her.
“I just wouldn’t sacrifice any time with Blue,” he confides in his sister.
On the other hand, Rebecca is also rooted to her home as her friends, family and business are all located up north. She expresses: “I don’t know if I could leave.”
While the couple appear reluctant to tackle the issue of long distance, Bailey’s sister doesn’t hold back in giving them some tough advice.
“I don’t think long distance is going to work that well,” she begins. “I’d literally be so angry if you moved. And it’s just too far so you can’t just pop and see her [Bluebell].
“You need to know how it’s gonna happen. How would it work? I don’t want you to move up there, definitely not.”
The groom agrees with his sibling, stating: “I can’t move. My hands are like completely tied.”
Rebecca and Bailey have journeyed far since their nuptials. Identifying herself as an independent woman, Rebecca was clear in her pursuit of an “alpha male” who takes the lead.
However, she wasn’t entirely sure that Bailey was the right fit after their walk down the aisle.
Despite this, the couple has gradually grown closer and are now considered one of the most solid pairs. But will they be able to handle a long-distance relationship?
