Married At First Sight’s Mikey Pembroke and Natasha Spencer had a huge screaming match in front of the relationship experts at Sunday’s commitment ceremony.
The 29-year-old chose to leave the show after Natasha ‘totally disrespected’ him by joking about his sexual performance to their co-stars at last week’s dinner party.
However, Natasha, 26, chose to stay in the social experiment, meaning they must remain together for another week and try and work through their issues.

As the relationship experts asked them how things were going, the pair started screaming at each other while discussing their dinner party drama.
John Aiken was forced to intervene, saying: ‘We can see your fight style in front of us, and that’s often what is shutting your honesty down. It’s because you’re quite flammable when you go at is, you’re feisty.’
Last week, Natasha laughed to Michael Goonan and Stacey Hampton that Mikey had ‘only lasted 10 seconds’ in the bedroom, causing him embarrassment.
The brunette went on to apologise to Mikey for this during Sunday’s episode.

‘Worth fighting for’: However, Natasha, 26, chose to stay in the social experiment, meaning they must remain together for another week and try and work through their issues
Natasha told Mikey: ‘I’m sorry I made you feel uncomfortable, I tried to explain. I told Michael it wasn’t fair that he’d taken something out of context. I defended Mikey.
‘I said he’s a great person, great lover and I’m lucky to have him as a “husband”.’
Mikey, who stormed out of the dinner party last week after the group gossiped about his sex life with Natasha, explained that he was very upset by the remarks.

Mikey said: ‘I guess I was just really hurt, and overwhelmed with hearing all of that. I just thought leaving and cooling down was the best thing to do.
‘I’d be lying if I said that these new concerns and trust [issues] haven’t taken over the more positive side of Tash that I’ve seen. There’s a loving, caring and sensitive side – but there’s also a side that’s fierce. Right now, I think it is best for me to leave.’
When asked if she wishes to also leave the show and split up, Natasha said: ‘I saw a side of Mikey yesterday that I thought was worth fighting for, so I decided to stay.’
The pair must now remain together for another week.
