Married At First Sight viewers were left cringing when Ben Walters wrote a song for his wife Ellie Dix to apologise for his ‘f**ked up behaviour’.
The tour guide, 38, and the nurse, 32, have had a tense few days after Ellie shockingly wrote ‘leave’ on her board during Sunday’s commitment ceremony.
She told him how she felt like he was trying to ‘control the narrative’ and said she wasn’t getting a ‘genuine’ experience with him as she aired her grievances.
Ben then vanished and refused to come home overnight as the couple remained distant, before finally reappearing to talk in Tuesday night’s drama-packed episode.
He insisted Ellie had given him the ‘wake-up call’ he needed as the couple vowed to work on things, before he wrote his wife a song to show her how he felt.

The track, which he titled Thank You Ellie, was a way for him to get out his feelings, and he was seen singing the lyrics while playing guitar in his room.
The lyrics went: ‘I’ve been unaware of my f**ked up behaviours until you pointed them out on that couch and I just wanted to say thanks.’
Though he didn’t give Ellie a live performance, he showed her the lyrics as he told how music is ‘excellent therapy’ for him, and thanked her for giving him the ultimatum during the ceremony.
He told her: ‘I ended up writing you a song, and that was the lyrics. All of these were just thoughts of what you said on the couch.’
Ellie was reduced to tears at the ‘thoughtful’ gesture, while Ben said: ‘Not everyone gets a song named after them.’
