After weeks wallowing in the background, hipster barber Steve finally got the chance to shine.
And the burly Brit with a big heart and an even bigger loafer collection didn’t disappoint on Wednesday night, storming out of the dinner party in a fit of rage.
He made Married At First Sight history in the process, becoming the first person to run off without first being handed a briefcase full of cash from the producers.

Don’t like what I sea: On Tuesday’s episode, Mishel and Steve’s sputtering Ford Laser of a marriage finally failed rego, after he admitted he wasn’t attracted to her
On Tuesday’s episode, Mishel and Steve’s sputtering Ford Laser of a marriage finally failed rego.
‘Is everything okay babe?’ Mishel said during a beach date.
Honestly, you could cut the tension with a spoon. Even the drowning tourists popped their heads out of the water to listen in.
Steve: ‘Yeah, it’s all good, but I’ve just realised that I forgot to tell you something at our wedding six weeks ago. Completely slipped me mind!’
I’m sinking Steve, I’m sinking! Honestly, you could cut the tension with a spoon – even the drowning tourists popped their heads up out of the water to listen in
Mishel: ‘Not another gay husband!’
Steve: ‘What’s a nice way to say, “You’re ugly and I don’t like you”?’
Needless to say, Mishel was still in a massive strop at the dinner party.
She popped herself down on a separate couch and refused to look up from Candy Crush Saga until dinner was served.

Here comes Oprah!
Here comes Oprah! Bounding through the door to break the tension was series regular Liz Sobinoff, who proceeded to address everybody like she was Oprah doing a meet and greet at Blacktown Westfields
Bounding through the door to break the tension was series regular Liz Sobinoff, with her ’90s robo-husband in tow.
‘Far out Seb, put your copy of Human Emotions For Dummies down, we’ve got company!’
‘Groovy baby! Yeah! Do I make you horny?’ replied the human conversation simulator.
For the fans: ‘What did you say your name was? Cathy? Aww, common names are so hot right now! Here, have an autographed copy of my most-liked Instagram post,’ she basically said
Liz proceeded to address everybody like she was Oprah doing a meet and greet at the Blacktown Westfield.
‘What did you say your name was? Michael? Aww, common names are so hot right now! Here, have an autographed copy of my most-liked Instagram post.’
‘Ohh, I recognise you now! You’re that dropkick from last year who put pizza in a toaster and then had a full-on breakdown after the sponsorship deals dried up,’ replied everyone else in unison.
Sorry Liz, two career wrongs do not make a right.
Instagram vs reality: ‘Ohh, I recognise you now! You’re that dropkick from last year who put pizza in a toaster and then had a full-on breakdown after the sponsorship deals dried up,’ replied everyone else in unison

Barry O’F-wit: Attention soon turned to Ice Cube King Michael, who got away with cheating on Stacey last week by pulling a Barry O’Farrell: ‘Cheating? Nah, can’t recall!’
Attention soon turned to Ice Cube King Michael, who got away with cheating on Stacey last week by pulling a Barry O’Farrell.
‘Did you bloody cheat on me with that skank Hayley?’
‘Cheating? Phwoar. Um. Let me think. Nah, can’t recall!’
*Stacey hands Michael his detailed written confession*.
‘Ohhh right… that. Would you accept “massive memory fail?”‘
Not over it: But the rest of the group still wasn’t over it on Wednesday and proceeded to gossip about it to the two new couples (Liz and Seb, KC and Drew)
‘Nah it’s all good. You had a massive memory fail when you forgot to sign a pre-nup too, so I’m in this for the long haul, Mr Moneybags!’
Stacey have (sort of) forgiven Michael, but the rest of the group still wasn’t over it.
‘Last week old mate down there with the blonde sheila hooked up with another wife, Hayley. He said he can’t remember it happening,’ Josh told the two new couples, Liz and Seb, and KC and Drew.
Liz chimes in: ‘Stacey, open your eyes babe!’ Liz screamed across the table. ‘Babe, the only thing I need to open is a joint bank account, the bloke is rich!’ replied the Ice Queen

He’s just not that into you, Mishel
Everything’s FINE: Throughout the night, Mishel attempted to stockpile all of her emotions, like a bogan mum with a shopping trolley full of bog roll and sanitiser
Throughout the night, Mishel attempted to stockpile all of her emotions, like a bogan mum with a shopping trolley full of bog roll and hand sanitiser.
But a wry comment from Josh was the Quilton that broke the camel’s back.
‘How was your night, Mishel?’ he stupidly asked, wandering into the lion’s den.
‘How was your night Mishel?’ But a wry comment from Josh was the Quilton that broke the camel’s back. ‘My deadbeat husband has been lying to me for six weeks! She screamed
‘My husband thinks I’m ugly and the bloody bartender cut me off three Jägerbombs ago, yourself?’ she replied.
‘That’s old news, Mishel! He told us he wasn’t into you on WhatsApp like a month ago.’
This triggered a hot flush with a strop cloud bigger than Hiroshima.
Should we tell her? ‘That’s old news, Mishel! He told us he wasn’t into you on WhatsApp like a month ago,’ revealed everyone, triggering the hot flush of the century from Mishel
‘Look, my lack of attraction to you, it didn’t come at me just at the beach. It came at me when we get married,’ Steve finally admitted.
‘I stuck with it because I wanted to see if the attraction would grow naturally. Honestly I’m sick to death talking about it!’
He chucked his mic pack on the table and left, in a moment that felt shockingly real for this show.
Six-weeks later: ‘Look, my lack of attraction to you, It didn’t come at me just at the beach. It came at me when we get married,’ Steve finally admitted, before storming off in a huff
With a producer screaming in his earpiece, Josh gave chase in a desperate bid to get Steve to have his breakdown in a camera-friendly location.
‘Stoive! Stoive! Oy wait, Stoive! Wait! Stoive! Hey Stoive! Wait! Stoive! Stoive! Wait! Stoive!?’
But Stoive was done, and so was his marriage.
Stoive! ‘Simple’ Josh gave chase in a desperate bid to get Steve to have his breakdown in a camera-friendly location
Stooooive! Sadly, his seagull frothing for a chip routine proved ineffective: Stoive! Stoive! Oy wait, Stoive! Wait! Stoive! Hey Stoive! Wait! But Stoive was gone, and so was his marriage
