Polly and Adam were flown to Trentino in Italy for a winter wonderland trip after walking down the aisle.
But, in a tough moment from a recent episode, the pair spoke about their intimacy issues.
Adam admitted the stunning redhead wasn't his type, having previously said he was looking for a "petite brunnette" who resembled Megan Fox.
He further described his ideal scenario as having a mixture between Megan and Brassic actress Michelle Keegan.
Polly took the comments in her stride and later offered to give Adam a sensual massage to help bring them closer together.

He said: "You can go harder if you want. I thought you said this would be the best massage of my life?"

Another said: "Can’t stand Adam. Absolutely vile. She’s gorgeous and deserves better."
Mafs couples that have stood the test of time
Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.
The pair couldn't keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam's Doncaster home.
Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.
Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.
Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: “I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out - and excited for everything to come.”
Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.
Owen recalled: “I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.
"While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.
“The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if I signed up?’
“A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.”
Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.
Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna's vegan lifestyle, the show's first same sex pairing are still going strong.
They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.
Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: "We're not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship."
One more reacted: "Adam wasn't worth that massage .. he definitely seems like an a*****e" as a fourth typed: "Adam was such a d**k with that massage".
Despite the five star luxury trip, Adam admitted in a candid confessional that it was "a bit of a frustrating honeymoon" and said: "Something is missing."
And Polly told the cameras: "I'm frustrated the way Adam has been, given the way we were on our wedding night.
"It feels a bit rubbish that he hasn't given me a definitive answer."

Welling up with tears, she added: "I'm going to get upset. I definitely think it's bringing up insecurities because of previous relationships where I've been kind of torn down quite a lot.
"And I'm then going into this with a very good-looking man who I do fancy. Today was breaking point. But I did find it really difficult."
