Married At First Sight’s Ellie Dix was left fuming that she had “broken up” with boyfriend Ben Walters during Tuesday night’s drama-filled episode.
The nurse, 32, and the tour guide, 38, have had a rocky relationship so far in the dating experiment, and it all came to a head at Sunday’s commitment ceremony, when Ellie wrote “leave” on your blackboard.
Ben then disappeared and refused to speak to Ellie for hours, before returning home in Tuesday’s episode for a heart-to-heart, where they agreed to work on things.
Ben thanked Ellie for making him aware of his ‘fucked up behaviour’ and even wrote her a song, called Thank You Ellie, as an apology, making her cry because they seemed to be taking positive action.
However, the pair had a shocking fight in which Ellie became enraged because she would “rather be single” than be with Ben as his actions angered her.

The nurse, 32, and the tour guide, 38, have had a rocky relationship so far in the dating experiment, and it all came to a head on Tuesday when the pair got into a heated fight.
She explained how they had a heated argument after Ben spent two and a half hours telling her everything he didn’t like about her and their relationship.
She accused him of being touchy because she claimed he told her he didn’t like her wearing makeup and that she was 32 and from the Gold Coast.
She told producers: “I took notes, he didn’t like me wearing makeup because he’s used to dating girls who don’t wear much makeup.” He didn’t like that I am 32 and he is 39, he believes that there is a generation gap.
‘He didn’t like the fact I was from the Gold Coast. She didn’t like that I am sensitive or emotional and he would also like to have a good conversation with me, apparently he is not having a good conversation.
“I wanted to highlight everything he’s been feeling for the last five weeks, I don’t know what the purpose was, it’s very painful.
“Telling me you’re not used to girls who don’t wear makeup, what’s that going to accomplish besides make me feel shit about myself?”

About the fight, Ben insisted that he was just trying to be honest and share his feelings, before complaining that the fight was a “horrible time” because he just had a tooth knocked out and he can’t eat.
He said of the outburst: “I requested that we have to talk about the relationship, I wanted to be honest and I was just telling him how I feel as best I could, and it just didn’t sit well with me.” obviously.’
“She wants something real, she wants something honest, here I am,” he added.

The shock came just hours after the couple appeared to be making progress, with Ben bizarrely writing Ellie an apology song following the fallout from the commitment ceremony.
‘I’m not coming back from this, I’m not going to do it to myself anymore, I’m already done. She would rather be single than spend another night with Ben.
At the end of the episode, a spoiler clip sparked even more drama for the couple when Ben was seen making a mysterious and surprising revelation at the next dinner party.
