Yeah. 445 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,880 Well, of course, where we left the two of you there, 446 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,160 you were making the decision to commit to each other 447 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,240 and continue the relationship. 448 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:34,960 So why don't you fill us in on what happened between there and here. 449 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,400 After the experiment, Leisha come to Essex, 450 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,680 and there was like a comment made. 451 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,720 Leisha said, "A footballer messaged me last night. 452 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:44,840 "But don't worry, I put it to bed. 453 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,600 "I let him know, like, I'm with someone. 454 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,200 "There's nothing to worry about." 455 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,320 I thought, OK, fair enough. And then the second day Leisha said to me, 456 00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:53,000 "If it don't work between me and you, that's all right. 457 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:54,080 "I'll just get with a footballer." 458 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,360 So, like, my head was spinning a little bit from that. 459 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,720 And then a couple of weeks later, 460 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:06,560 we went on a night out and Leisha started talking to a boy. 461 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,800 So I started talking to a girl, and Leisha came charging over, 462 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,200 like, causing a bit of a scene and saying, 463 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,640 "What are you doing flirting with her, Reiss?" 464 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,240 So I kind of cooled things off. 465 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,520 I said, "Look, give me a couple of days to think what I want." 466 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,680 When I returned back to Essex, I made up my mind. 467 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,200 Do you know what? This isn't for me any more. 468 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,280 So I expressed that to Leisha when I got home. 469 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,520 Leisha you look like maybe you have a different perspective 470 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:33,960 on what happened there. 471 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,760 To be fair, I say things out of insecurities. 472 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,360 Obviously, I didn't mean it, you know? 473 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,720 But, like, Reiss never really said anything to me... 474 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,080 I did at the time. He did at the time. It's a weird thing to say. 475 00:24:47,120 --> 00:24:49,400 Like, never really kind of, like, told me 476 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,320 really about how it made him feel. 477 00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:55,160 When we left the experiment, he did go quite distant. 478 00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,520 But I feel like we did break up over, like, minor arguments. 479 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,400 I still don't feel like that was enough to break up a relationship 480 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,400 if somebody was fully invested. 481 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,440 It wasn't just that, though. It was a build-up. 482 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,400 I've never really felt like I was 483 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,720 the only person that you really wanted. 484 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,040 What you have done throughout this entire journey, 485 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:26,400 Leisha, is pursued Reiss, and what Reiss does, 486 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:27,760 he's a classic distancer, 487 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:32,120 the more that you pursue, the more that Reiss distances himself, 488 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,720 and you two are just reacting off of fear. 489 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,920 Your fear is that he's going to... Run away. 490 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,040 Run away. Your fear is what? Getting the pressure. 491 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,280 Exactly. Getting too much pressure. 492 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:44,480 So you both are in fear, 493 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,000 but you're reacting to it differently. 494 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,560 I feel like I was always wanting more. 495 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,640 It's probably hence the reason why some of these flyaway comments 496 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,640 were said. But sometimes, like you said, 497 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,680 like insecurities can be a bit hurtful. 498 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,840 Maybe think twice before saying that. 499 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:00,440 Is it going to upset someone? Yeah. 500 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,360 And I guess this has been a real theme, hasn't it, 501 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,080 throughout the relationship? 502 00:26:08,120 --> 00:26:11,280 Insecurity and the way that you each communicate about that. 503 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,440 And I'm just wondering if you were able to say to Leisha, 504 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:14,880 "Hey, that really hurts my feelings." 505 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,440 You know, showing that little bit of emotional rawness 506 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:23,280 and vulnerability could have had a really different impact on her. 507 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,480 It's just not what I do. I bottle that stuff up. 508 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,600 And how's that working for you? 509 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,040 Probably not the best. 510 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:31,120 Yeah. 511 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,320 I just need to be a lot more open with my emotions 512 00:26:36,360 --> 00:26:38,600 instead of bottling things away. 513 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,360 Read your partner.

You knew where you stood more than I did. That's... 575 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:24,840 I've got to disagree with you. ..how I feel. 576 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,200 Yeah, that's valid. But what I mean, 577 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,080 I was honest with you the whole way through, 578 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:33,160 whether it be good or bad. 579 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,560 And you had the choice to leave or stay. 580 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:36,640 I'm not saying you're in control. 581 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,880 I'm saying you were more in control of, like, 582 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,680 what would happen next? 583 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,480 I don't think I was in control of it. 584 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,880 No, I was just going with it, and we both had a choice 585 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,000 whether it was something we wanted to be in or not. 586 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,960 You could argue that you two, in terms of compatibility, 587 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,440 are two of the strongest on paper. 588 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,880 So now when you think back, why did the plane never take off? 589 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,520 Ask her. I would take that one. I feel like that was on me. 590 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,120 I think massively because I did have my walls up, 591 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:12,400 and I come in here thinking I was open and healed and ready 592 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:16,760 and I wasn't. So you're accepting the responsibility 593 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:18,640 for the plane not taking off? 594 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,000 100%. 595 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,040 Leigh, you're taking that? Yeah. 596 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,560 And, Leah, you're assigning that to Leigh? 597 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,760 No, I think like it takes two to tango, 598 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,760 but I think I was ready to probably just give it a go. 599 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:32,920 But, you know, I'm not putting it all on her. 600 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,040 Like, I know I'm a pain in the arse as well. 601 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,720 And I think I've learned a lot about myself in this whole experiment. 602 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:41,800 Like, a lot. What would you say your greatest lesson is 603 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:43,400 from your time here? 604 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,720 I can be persistent. I can be resilient. 605 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,200 So it's taught me to sit in my feelings a lot more. 606 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,480 Well, look at that. Look at that. 607 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:54,800 So now, Leigh, your walls were high, sky-high. 608 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:56,200 Where are they today? 609 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,440 I feel like I'm on a bit of a journey at the moment. 610 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,000 I discovered that about myself. 611 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,480 I didn't realise how closed off I was and how maybe not ready I was 612 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:08,480 and how much I self-sabotage things because I'm scared of getting hurt. 613 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,160 So now I'm aware of all of that. 614 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:14,320 I'm trying to work through not letting what's happened in my past 615 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,040 ruin what could potentially be my future. 616 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,920 Thank you so much and we wish you the best in the future.

I love love and I do want to find my person, 623 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,280 do you know what I mean? on the wedding day, I was so happy 624 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,440 and I was like, "Oh, my God, this has got so much potential." 625 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,480 And then, you know, obviously didn't work out that way. 626 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:56,320 So I think, yeah, a bit of a realisation, I guess. 627 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,440 Yeah, and I think it can be difficult 628 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,080 when you're in the situation and there's so much going on 629 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,040 to kind of remember where it all started, 630 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,400 because the two of you had quite a strong start. 631 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,600 Yeah, definitely. Yeah. The wedding day was really strong. 632 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,920 The chemistry was there instantly, 633 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,640 but as we got further on with the experiment, 634 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:17,240 we just... We needed different things from the relationship 635 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:18,560 and it is a shame. 636 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,800 But it gives me hope moving on in the future 637 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,760 that there is still someone out there that makes you feel like that. 638 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,840 So, April, what would you say the takeaways are for you? 639 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,840 I'm definitely going to take so much of what I've learned here 640 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:34,240 into my next relationship, 641 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,400 and I'm glad we can be OK and like take from it, 642 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,520 because it's a big old thing to do together. 643 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,560 Well, it's been a joy seeing your journey 644 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,000 and we wish you all the very best in your future relationships. 645 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:47,520 Thank you.

Obviously didn't find what I came for. 652 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:24,640 And to be only in two weeks was massively disappointing. 653 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:29,320 Yesterday, we saw when Paul entered the mixer 654 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,840 that you became quite emotional. 655 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:33,280 I did, yes. 656 00:34:34,720 --> 00:34:36,440 When I left the experiment, 657 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,280 I had time to think about what had just happened, 658 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,600 and I went from, "Oh, it is what it is" 659 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,320 to "I actually am P'd off." 660 00:34:47,240 --> 00:34:50,600 And I had in my mind that I wasn't actually going to speak to him 661 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,480 at all until today in front of yous. 662 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,280 Paul, would you like to give your thoughts? 663 00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:00,000 At that moment?
