First impressions

The pair were matched by the MAFS experts because they shared similar lifestyles and values.

However, on their wedding day Caspar was visibly less thrilled about his match than his bride Emma was.

Caspar likened Emma to his twin sister, who he admits to having a difficult relationship with.

It wasn't until the honeymoon that Emma became aware that Caspar wasn't attracted to her.

Honeymoon

Things come to a head in the early days of their honeymoon when Caspar confessed to Emma that she reminded him of his sister.

To top the offence, fans were outraged when Casper added that he's "rarely gone for the curvier woman".

Caspar said: "She's very confident in herself and her body, but first time seeing Emma in a bikini, I'm not feeling sexual sparks that I was hoping to feel.

"Liking a more petite woman generally is something I have always fancied more than curves.

""That's just my preference", he admits.

When Emma asked if Caspar fancied her he admitted that the sexual chemistry was just not there.

To which Emma replied: "If you didn't think I was sexy in my f***ing wedding dress and my gorgeous bikini today, I don't know what hope there is.

"But what we're here to do is look beyond that and what you need to do is look beyond that because my personality, my confidence should help you be more confident and you should see qualities bigger than my clothes size.

In the first few weeks of the experiment Caspar found it increasingly hard to understand why he had been paired with the optimistic Emma.

Gardener Caspar even accused producers of "f**king with his life" with the match, saying: "I haven't found her sexy and I have seen some of the same mannerisms with my sister as well".

By the third commitment ceremony things began to take a positive turn, with the couple taking on the advice from the experts, including some intimacy tips from Charlene Douglas.

Each week Emma and Caspar wrote 'stay' on their decision cards until week seven.

The couple's fate revealed
