Legal Support Worker
Elle has been with Andy for 4 years
Andy has cheated on Elle 30 times, can he change his ways?
Describe your partner in three words...
Clever, wild and stubborn.
Who said I love you first?
Him! I tried to finish with him and he was like, ‘You can’t finish with me I love you!’ He was very much whipped at first.
What are Andy’s best points?
He is funny, spontaneous and caring.
What are Andy’s bad points?
The loyalty, the stubbornness and being too much of a lad, wanting to show off all the time, that is annoying.
Why did you want to go on the show?

To make our relationship stronger and just to have a new experience together. We had had a lot of issues in the past, so I thought that going on there would bind us closer after all this rubbish.
What issues did you want to iron out in your relationship?
Andy had been at uni throughout most of our relationship and he had cheated quite a lot because he was in a situation with the lads, getting drunk all the time. There was a lot of cheating, so it was basically the trust.
What did you think when you saw where you’d be staying?
When we first got there I thought, ‘Oh my God, this is a dream’. I have never been anywhere out of Europe so it was like absolute luxury. It was like paradise.

What was going through your mind when Paul told you what was happening?
You go from being in absolute paradise to suddenly being in hell in a matter of three minutes. When we were told what would happen, that was possibly the worst thing that I could have heard. Because of what had happened in the past, I had gone there trying to build trust but how are we going to build trust when he’s going to be sharing with other girls? It wasn’t good for me at all. We spoke about outcomes before we went and that was the worst possible one I could have thought of and it happened.
Did you think you’d last the distance on the show?
No. There were so many times I said I wanted to leave, I had lost count. It was like the running joke - ‘Oh, Elle is going again!’
And what about Louise the sex therapist?
She was amazing. She helped us so much. She was great. One of the main reasons I wanted to stay was to keep going back to her.

Student
Andy blames the lad culture at university for him cheating on Elle
Can he change his was and stay faithful?
Describe your partner in three words...
Gorgeous, fiery and funny.
How did you meet?
I met Elle at a fancy dress party. She was dressed as Princess Jasmine. I met her there and we started texting a little bit and we ended up getting together.
Who said I love you first?
Me. It was quite early as well, only five weeks in. We had an argument and she finished with me and I said, ‘No you can’t because I love you!’
What are Elle’s best points?
She is really kind, she is a really empathetic person. She is obviously very forgiving. I think she is funny. When she wants to be relaxed we have a very good time together, when she’s not getting irate.
What are Elle’s bad points?
They are sort of my fault, but the trust issues are a bad point. She is a really fiery person and when she goes she just goes. She can’t contain herself. I think that is why we clash a lot.

Why did you want to go on the show?
I think it was Elle who signed up for the show and I just went along with it. I quite fancied doing the telly and I’ve always thought I was the right sort of person for it.
What issues did you want to iron out in your relationship?
There were massive trust issues because I had cheated on her quite a lot in the past. I had stopped doing that but she never really believed it. She would always bring up the past and she never believed that I had stopped so we went on to sort that out.
Did you set any ground rules before arriving?
Once we found out what was going on she started setting the rules in place, saying, ‘You’d better not sleep in the bed’ and things like that.
What was going through your mind when Paul told you what would be happening?
Me and Elle had spoken before saying what was the worst scenario going to be and we’d thought, ‘Well, we might have to date each other’. Then when he said that I just knew it wouldn’t end well!
And what about Louise the sex therapist?
I went into the therapy sessions thinking they were going to be a load of rubbish, but they were really good. I took everything she said on board and when I left the show I was really focusing on how to make it work with everything she said.
