A husband revealed he was at ‘breaking point’ with his new wife on Married at First Sight UK after she slammed his looks for the third time.
Veterinary nurse Morag, 31, from Essex, married new husband Luke, 36, at the start of the E4 series and the two travelled to Switzerland for their honeymoon.
However the couple got off to a rocky start, with Morag openly telling him he needed to ‘be more manly’ and the ‘sexual connection’ just wasn’t there between them.
On tonight’s episode, the couple attempted to connect physically for the third time but Morag ‘upset’ Luke by talking about his ‘image problem.’
The groom confessed: ‘It’s infuriating. I don’t know what to do. I’ve got a breaking point. I’m close, if I’m being honest.’
Luke Dawson, 36, has revealed he was ‘at breaking point’ with his new wife Morag, 31, on Married at First Sight UK after she slammed his looks for the third time
Appearing on the programme tonight, Morag said: ‘Last night me and Luke tried having our first serious conversation.
‘I tried to tell Luke what turned me on and he got upset. He turned over in the bed and didn’t like what I had to say.
‘We need to have these hard-hitting conversations and if he is going to turn away and not be interested in what I have to say, we’re not going to get any where.’
Meanwhile Luke explained: ‘I took [the expert’s] their advice, tried to start talking openly. It came straight back to the image issue we had on day one.’

The topic has long been a roadblock for the couple after Morag confessed Luke ‘wasn’t what she ordered’ on the night of the wedding.
Speaking to the camera, she said: ‘He wouldn’t be my typical guy I would go for so I’m not exactly jumping for joy. When I first saw him, I was taken aback.’
‘I can’t say I want to rip his clothes off tonight. I didn’t exactly get what I ordered.’
And on the honeymoon, Morag told Luke he ‘wasn’t manly enough’ for her.

Morag said: ‘Me and Luke get on well and I really like his personality. But he is still being really reserved which is the complete opposite of what I normally go for.
‘And as shallow as it sounds, his wardrobe is really starting to turn me off too.’
As the holiday progressed, Morag still wasn’t feeling the relationship grow.
She said: ‘I’m a touchy feely person but we don’t touch each other. I need that. It’s going to be really hard talking to Luke about it. But I’m not feeling it.’
Meanwhile on the honeymoon, Luke was left in floods of tears after Morag said he ‘wasn’t manly enough’ for her
Morag brought up the topic over breakfast, telling her new husband he was ‘the boy from the valleys’ and ‘cheeky and funny’, but said she wanted a ‘sexual’ connection.
She told him: ‘How do you expect me to fancy you if you’re just acting like my mates?
‘I feel like you are not treating me like your wife and I just need you to be a bit more manly. I want to fancy you but I need more man than boy.’
Luke was shocked, explaining: ‘To be called not a man is a low blow. To me being a man is being loyal, having your back supporting you. Your type of manliness confuses me.
She was criticised by viewers who slammed her as ‘cruel’ after she told the groom he ‘was not her normal type’
‘I wanted someone to like me for who I am.’
Morag continued: ‘You’re not my normal type. I spend a lot of time around people who care about what they actually look like. I need more on the outside at the minute.’
‘I literally go for the same type of guy all the time, I go to the gym everyday and these gym heads around me. You’re the opposite to that.’
Many of those watching were left stunned by Morag’s comments to Luke, and said she had been ‘deeply offensive’
Many of those watching were left stunned by the discussion, with one writing: ‘So brutal Morag, “be more manly” to a bloke with confidence issues about how he looks, us women aren’t all a******* Luke!’
Another commented: ‘Poor Luke, imagine being a gentleman and treating your wife nicely and being told you’re not manly enough?! I’m sorry Morag, jog on babes.’
A third wrote: ‘Nah that’s just rude. Just say he’s not your type instead of saying he’s not manly enough. WTF.’
