Married At First Sight UK's Sarah was branded 'disrespectful and muggy' by her husband Dean's close pal in a foul-mouthed clash on Wednesday night.
The duo have been struggling to find romance since getting hitched on the E4 series, with their relationship taking a turn for the worse when Sarah admitted she wasn't attracted to her husband, likening him to a 'care bear'.
But in an attempt to grow closer, the newlyweds were seen cooking dinner together in their new apartment in preparation to host Dean's friend James and Sarah's friend Caitlin for the evening.
Dean and Sarah were seen excitedly welcoming their guests to their new home - who were ready to dish out their opinion on the marriage so far.
Entering the apartment, Caitlin admitted: 'It seemed at the wedding that Sarah was a little reserved about Dean, so I'm hoping that they're getting on really well even without the initial attraction.'
While Dean's close friend James added: 'I've known Dean for 25+ years so if he needs to be told the hard truths, I can do that.'

But Sarah was quick to admit things had been up and down for the duo, looking emotional and saying: 'It's been a tough couple of weeks.'
Dean chimed in that he was glad Sarah now had a 'familiar face' to talk to, as things grew increasingly awkward between the foursome.
Sarah told the cameras away from the table: 'James might give me a grilling when he hears about what's been going on in the past couple of weeks.'
'I hope it's not going to be awkward, but we will see.'
It was then James started to get uncomfortable as Sarah failed to share any 'interesting facts' she'd learned about Dean while getting to know him on their honeymoon in the Maldives.
James told the cameras: 'He's one of the most charismatic people I know; anything that she had learned about him would have been an interesting fact.'
Things went even further downhill as James quizzed them on what went down on their honeymoon, with Dean revealing he 'shouted' at her 'disrespectful' behaviour.
Looking furious, Dean asked Sarah: 'Were you disrespectful?' to which Sarah responded: 'I said I'd got the ick because of the jokes and the singing.'

'I had said to Dean previously I wasn't a massive fan of them and I think on the honeymoon it became more intense.'
After Sarah admitted there had been a second argument that she was at fault for, James hit out: 'There's a theme here.'
Speaking to the camera again, James fumed: 'Ick is a horrible word, and it came as a shock, he could be being a bit of a fool of and being disrespected.
'That makes me feel worried - it's f*ing muggy.'
Later in the evening, Dean was sat down with James away from his wife, expressing to his pal: 'I don't ever want to be disrespected.'
His loyal friend replied: 'She shouldn't be allowed to get away with it.'
Shockingly, Dean was the one who then told the cameras, despite previously fighting for the relationship: 'Do I stay and fight, or do I let go?'
It comes after Dean and Sarah desperately tried to ignite their sexual spark after their body-shaming row - but it seriously backfired after she was slammed for flirting with the camera crew.

Dean recently opened up that it was 'tricky' rewatching Sarah's comments about him
Sarah sparked outrage after making a number of 'horrifying' comments about his weight, with expert Paul C Brunson for tearing into 'rude and disrespectful' Sarah over her 'cruel' comments about her husband at the first commitment ceremony.
Along with suggesting that Dean needs to 'get tattoos and lose some weight' to ignite a sexual spark, Sarah openly complained at the dinner party that she 'didn't fancy' him, and saw his singing and impromptu rapping as ‘over the top.’
The experts then reprimanded Sarah for being ‘disrespectful,’ by talking about Dean behind his back, leading her to apologise to during the Commitment Ceremony.
After the scenes aired, Dean shared a video on TikTok admitting that it was ‘tricky’ rewatching Sarah’s comments about him.
He said: ‘Hello you lovely lot. I wanted to send a message to say thank you for all your kind words and support.
‘A lot of you are saying don’t change, be who you are and stay true to yourself.
‘I can’t lie, yesterday was a tricky one, it was tricky to watch, but your love and support has been very well received, and it has helped to put a smile on my face.
‘I’m usually sunshine and rainbows all the time as much as I can be. Sometimes you can’t be, but you try to be when you can.
‘I know you guys are definitely helping to put the smile back on my face so thank you so much.
‘I’d much rather be a care bear than a bad boy any day of the week, so don’t worry I won’t go changing who I am, and thank you once again for all the kindness and the love.’
Dean finished his video by saying: ‘There’s too much meanness and not niceness in this world, so just keep being positive and happy, and keep smiling.’
‘Life at life before life laughs at you. That’s what my granddad always used to say.’
