A woman who asked her boyfriend for an open relationship has broken down in tears at a sex party on Channel 4's controversial new show.
Tonight's latest instalment of Open House: The Great Sex Experiment sees newly married couple Sharmayne, 26, and Jamie, 29, from Essex push the boundaries in their relationship.
The pair can be seen heading to their first social event to see whether they can find anyone suitable to join them in their open relationship.
After speaking as a couple to some of the people in the Open House, the pair then split up and mingle individually.
However, moments after Sharmayne sees Jamie flirting with other women, she grabs his arm and tells him that she wants to 'step out'.
As the pair walk outside, drawing some suspicious looks from the other guests, Sharmayne tells Jamie: 'I just feel overwhelmed. It's just a bit much for me, the whole situation.'
After Jamie replies: 'We're not obligated to do anything. This is our journey,' Sharmayne can be seen getting visibly upset before she says: 'I'm just uncomfortable.'
Moments after, she begins to wipe away tears from her eyes as Jamie asks: 'Where do we go from here?'
After Sharmayne says 'I don't know', she adds: 'I don't know if I'm going to be able to hold myself together now.
'I really don't want to do it. I just want to go home.'
This comes after a man vomited after agreeing to let his partner sleep with another man on the show.
Couple Tom and Lauren appeared on the new reality series on June 13 after agreeing to take things to another level in the bedroom after a candid discussion with non-monogamy expert Effy Blue.
Afterwards, Lauren was seen reassuring Tom, adding to the camera that it was 'absolutely insane' to see him with the 'confidence' for them to have their individual fun before reuniting at the end of the night.
The camera then panned to Tom rushing to the bathroom to vomit, telling Lauren it was 'going to be horrible' and that he felt 'absolutely petrified and sick' as she tried to comfort him.
Following a strong reaction to the turn of events, Tom and Lauren took to social media to address viewers.
On their shared Instagram story they answered a series of questions about threesomes in the bedroom.
When asked if they would do a 'two male, one female' threesome, they replied: 'It's certainly something we would consider.'
Another asked if they would 'play with' him and his wife and they explained: 'never say never' but they would 'want to build a connection first'.
One fan asked what their 'first time' was like to which they said it was 'awkward and tense'. 'We were both nervous but learned a lot and loved it,' they added. More Trending
To others they recommended swinging apps and confirmed they don't have any 'parties' in the schedule yet.
'What did you learn the most on the show,' one person asked, to which they said: 'Communication between the two of us, even the little things, and Tom learned to love the body he's in.'
Open House is certainly not the first time Channel 4 has aired a provocative show, after their recent series Virgin Island, which left viewers gobsmacked and uncomfortable as 12 'adult virgins' were sent on a sex retreat.
