And sitting down with the experts to expand further on what had happened, it was clear to see that they weren’t impressed.
Paul broke down in tears as he addressed his and Carina’s row, but in a trailer for the upcoming episode he’s then seen storming out, with his bride Carina running after him.
Carina had been telling the experts how she felt about Paul’s punch, which led expert Mel to say: “Ah, I’m sorry I need to jump in.”
The voiceover then says: “He’s held to account by the experts, as Paul puts a pillow over his face.”

In the latest episode of the show, Paul could be seen crying into Carina's arms as he broke down as a result of his behaviour.

Having spent some time apart, Paul returned to the apartment where he instantly broke down upon embracing Carina.
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."
He sobbed into her neck as she did her best to re-assure him that it would be okay.
With Paul visibly emotional, Carina said to him: "Oh my goodness, so how are you feeling?"
He replied: "I'm so so sorry."
Although tensions simmered between the pair after the conversation, it was revealed last month that Australian Police had opened an investigation into the incident.
NSW Police confirmed that officers from the South Sydney Police Area Command have opened an investigation into the matter.
"The matter has been referred to officers from South Sydney Police Area Command, who have commenced an investigation."
