"Thanks for your concern."
It comes after a clash which Alex saw Holly storm out of the dinner party.
Viewers will recall how Alex courted controversy during the stag do when he admitted to the other grooms, as well as bride Charlie who joined them on the stag, that he would be open to 'wife swapping' if he didn't gel with who he is paired with.
Things quickly came to light when the other couples informed Holly about Alex's comment.
Alex had previously expressed how his lack of "fatherly instincts" may prove a barrier in his marriage to Holly as a result of her being a mother-of-two.
These concerns spilled over into the dinner party when fellow bride Polly clashed with Alex as she urged him to be honest and open about what he can handle in the marriage.
It saw him shut Polly down, a conversation that was witnessed by his wife.
Immediately taking issue with what he said, Holly saw red and snapped at her husband: "Don't be rude!
"I'm not coping with someone who's so f***ing disrespectful.
"I don't want someone like that around me because I've got two children at home and never would a man be around my kids who speaks like that, let me tell you, let me f***ing tell you!"
As Alex scowled, the other couples look on in horror.
"Let me tell ya, Let me f***ing tell ya," Holly continued as she gets up from the table.
