Divarni Balogun is set to find out in tonight’s episode of Married At First Sight that his wife Julia-Ruth Smith ‘doesn’t fancy him’ and ‘never will’ in a brutal conversation with fellow groom Bailey.
The couple have already had a rocky time on the show, and things seem to go downhill in a preview for tonight’s episode. During the clip, Divarni is seen catching up with fellow groom Bailey, who explains what is being said behind his back.
Divarni asks Bailey what he has been hearing, to which he replies: “She said, ‘I’ve told that boy ten times, I don’t fancy him. I’ve told him I don’t fancy him. She said to the girls that she doesn’t think you’re her type. She said she doesn’t think you’ll ever be her type.”

The statements appear to shock Divarni, who revealed that she hasn’t been saying those things to him. Bailey, clearly annoyed, replies: “F*****g hell. She’s been saying something totally different to everyone else, and then behind closed doors.”
Bailey went on to say: “It’s not fair, but you’ve been totally respectful and in my opinion, she hasn’t towards you. She’s more concerned about the image rather than your actual feelings. It’s very muggy in my eyes.”
Divarni finished the conversation by saying that he ‘doesn’t know’ what to do. Bailey then told the camera that Divarni’s head ‘must be scrambled’ and that he really ‘likes and cares’ for Julia-Ruth. Bailey adds: “It’s out of order innit, it’s bang out of order.” MAFS fans will find out more in tonight’s episode.

Bailey and Rebecca’s relationship, on the other hand, seems to be going from strength to strength. The couple’s romance now is worlds away from what it was on day one, which saw her admit she was looking for an ‘alpha male’.
The star insisted she was looking for an “alpha male” and repeated the term several times while detailing her ideal man. At the altar, she was quick to ask Bailey about his height, which he claimed was 6″4.
Expert Charlene Douglas asked the duo in a recent episode: “How are the things with the two of you in regards to intimacy?” To which Bailey sweetly replied: “I’ll just say… I can’t keep my hands off her.”

The expert said she was ‘conscious there hasn’t been any conflict between the two’. Bailey then admitted: “We’ve not had anything big. We’ve had a few tiny, small things but really small.”
Bailey also left Rebecca in shock in a recent episode where he revealed he was in love with her. Rebecca said: “It’s so nice for me to hear. Like, I can’t imagine my life without Bailey.”
Married At First Sight UK continues tonight at 9pm.
