She broke down sobbing, and in a tearful piece to camera said: “We’re over half way now and everyone’s at the point where the love is starting to come out, people have got the real thing and it could have been so different.”
But the couple’s marriage was doomed from the start, as Caspar admitted just before their wedding day that he was not physically attracted to Emma.
TV viewers were left incensed when he said: “I’ve rarely gone for the curvier person.”
Since then, the pair have struggled with issues of intimacy and clashed over their personal expectations at the group dinner.

In a heated conversation, Casper said: “you said you’ll never like me enough to be emotionally vulnerable with me.”
To which Emma replied: “I thought we might be able to explore something. We see intimacy very differently.”
She then said: “I’ve had some quite confusing messages this week, because you said to me that you want to practice the relationship advice that Charlene has given us because you want to learn about being in a relationship with other people.”
The camera then cut away from the dinner to the expert analysis as relationship coach Mel Schilling said: “To say that is essentially to say to Emma, “You are replaceable.”

The camera then cut back to the rowing couple with Emma saying: “ You said you wanted to learn about intimacy, well f*** hell I am not a test.”
Caspar then snapped back, “Well you wanted to test out having sex with me to see if it feels like it, so its alright for me to be a test.’
The camera then panned back around to the experts who are now taking a dim view of their relationship.
Expert Mel responded: “It's clear that they’ve both been hurt and now they're getting into this point scoring mode, they’re not malicious people, they’re not trying to be nasty, but they’re coming from a place of pain.
Then intimacy coach and relationship expert Charlene Douglas added: “There’s a lot of powerful nonverbal communication that we’re seeing here. These are two people who are just not happy together anymore.”
