Did Dave cheat on Jamie with Veronica? A MAFS investigation.

The success rate of Married at First Sight took a major hit this week after our strongest couple shattered in front of our very eyes.

It was smooth sailing from day one for Jamie Marinos and Dave Hand. But suddenly, the beloved couple has hit an iceberg, and my heart will not go on!

The trouble began at Sunday's commitment ceremony, when Jamie told the experts that she had told Dave she was in love with him — and that he didn't return the sentiment. Since then, the couple have been at breaking point.

Frankly, it's too much to take! We're holding on by a goddamn thread at this point.

Relive some of the better times for our favourite couple. Post continues after video.

Ahead of Wednesday's dinner party, Jamie asked Dave why he never initiates intimacy, and Dave admitted that his feelings for her were 'not progressing'.

The tensions only escalated at the dinner party. Jamie broke down in tears, feeling dismissed by Dave's lack of empathy for her. This man was ice cold.

Who is this Dave? We don't know him.

MAFS fans were left confused by this pivot of personality.

Most bizarrely, he repeatedly stated he 'doesn't hate' Jamie in the episode, as if this was a nice thing to say about the woman you'd spent months sharing your life with.

Producer: 'How do you feel about Jamie?'

Huge yikes!

So what changed? Well, this week the contestants were asked to complete the couple-swap task on Married At First Sight.

Jamie was paired with Adrian Araouzou, who quickly told her that Dave might not be attracted to her, only deepening her doubts.

However, it was Dave's time spent with Veronica Cloherty that raised eyebrows, as the two got along a little too well, even enjoying some pillow talk as they woke up together in bed one morning.

Viewers couldn't help but link Dave's time with Veronica to his sudden change of heart towards Jamie.

Adrian made the same suggestion at the dinner party, asking Dave if Veronica was more his type.

Adrian now being the voice of the people? I hate it here!

After MAFS this week, we all have one question (and so does Adrian): did something happen between Dave and Veronica during feedback week?

Did Dave cheat on Jamie from MAFS with Veronica?

Jamie has denied rumours that Dave cheated with Veronica, but noted that there is no love lost between the women.

"[Veronica] didn't put my mind at ease. I don't think Veronica knows how to be a friend," she told Chattr.

Jamie believed Veronica "had a hard-on" for her MAFS husband.

"She had made comments that she thought highly of Dave [in the past]… obviously she was flirting her ass off [during the couple-swap task]," she said.

There were definite ~ vibes ~ between the two contestants. Image: Nine.

But despite Veronica's behaviour, Jamie said that she didn't think Dave would ever cheat.

"I don't think cheating is something that Dave morally could ever succumb to, like that's one thing he [has] quite [a] firm belief on," she said.

Jamie also said that she had encouraged them to share a bed because Dave was too tall to fit on the couch — but she wished Dave had been paired with a different bride.

"I was actually really nice to her… but I probably would have preferred just about anyone else," she said.

Dave confirmed to Chattr that he was "totally committed" to Jamie in the experiment, and said that nothing happened with Veronica.

"I'm not going to sleep with someone jumping in my bed for one or two nights, it's not how it works, especially when I'm married to someone else," Dave said.

"It's a bit ridiculous that people would think that, but yeah, it definitely goes against my morals."

Okay okay, I guess we all got a little carried away with the whole 'two hot people sharing a bed must equal a scandal' thing.

But will Jamie and Dave survive all this pressure? Stay tuned and don't Google the question 'How does Titanic end?'
