Married at First Sight Australia has seen one bride make a shocking confession, which left her partner and another bride feeling "blindsided".
Tonight, during the second commitment ceremony of the series, Billy Belcher and Sierah Swepstone questioned their marriage.
Following last week's dinner party scandal, which saw Sierah secretly flirt with another groom, Billy and Sierah said they had been "intimate" with each other for the second time.
On the sofa, Billy told the experts he thought they had become more physically affectionate with one another, adding that he felt their "emotional connection" was missing.
Disagreeing, Sierah said: "Last night, it was like a drunken fumble in my opinion."
Billy told the experts that he wanted an emotional connection, but Sierah said she didn't want to open up to Billy about her past.

Asked by sexologist Alessandra Rampolla if she had been open with anyone else, Sierah hesitated, before admitting: "Ash and Adrian, actually I had."
A shocked Billy said "sorry what!?" adding that he was sad she couldn't share things with him. "You shared more with him than you have with me," Billy said.
"You've been more comfortable with Adrian than you have me," he added.
Adrian's wife Awhina, who was "blindsided" by the confession, asked Adrian if he also opened up to Sierah.
When Adrian said he had been vulnerable with Sierah, Billy admitted to feeling confused. Adrian said he and Sierah felt comfortable speaking because the cameras weren't rolling.
"I'm sorry, but that's a cop out. The cameras are not there at night when you're sleeping next to each other," Alessandra replied.

After a tearful Sierah said she was worried she would be seen as "damaged goods", Billy reassured her and the couple both wrote 'stay'.
Meanwhile, Awhina questioned her future with Adrian outside the experiment and expert John Aiken told Adrian that he is "the problem", asking them if they want to be together.
The episode ended on a preview clip, which teased some late arrivals to the show, giving viewers a quick glimpse at the new people, including one bride who said she had "never had a boyfriend" before.
