MARRIED At First Sight fans were shocked last night after Franky told his wife Marilyse "When I speak don't speak."
The remaining couples in the experiment gathered for their third dinner party during Monday night's instalment of the Channel 4 show.
During the get-together each of the newly-weds were hit with some home truths about their relationship.
The rest of the couples were allowed to write what they truly thought about their connection by writing an anonymous letter to them.
But one person who wasn't happy about what was written about him was fitness coach Franky, 47.
After taking in their criticism, Marylise, 37, thanked the rest of the couples for their opinions while Franky was trying to say something.
He told his wife: "Maybe when I speak, don't speak."
A shocked Marylise replied: "What do you mean 'when I speak don't speak'?"
Franky explained: "No, I was just saying something to them all..."
Realising what he had said, he continued: "I apologise."
