Belinda and Patrick got into a furious fight with James during Wednesday’s episode of Married At First Sight.

During a heated dinner conversation, Belinda got into a tense confrontation with James, 44, while defending his wife, Joanne Todd.

An angry Belinda accused James of being ‘so controlling’, and told him he’d been treating Joanne, 39, ‘like absolute s**t’.

‘I’ve actually heard that you’ve been talking about me behind my back as well… Apparently I’m a frigid. You called me a frigid,’ Belinda, 29, continued.

While James didn’t deny making the offensive remark, he argued that he’d posed it as a question, not a comment.

Watching the conversation play out from across the table, Patrick, 27, was seen becoming increasingly agitated as James traded insults with his ‘wife’.

‘Did you not just hear me before? I said how offensive that was!’ continued a seething Belinda.

'I've actually heard that you've been talking about me behind my back as well... Apparently I'm a frigid. You called me a frigid,' Belinda said

‘Can you not see that, James? Say sorry,’ added an incensed Patrick.

After spitting out a quick ‘sorry’, Patrick told James he needed to do better than that.

‘That’s not a sorry. That’s not a sorry at all, James! Say sorry to her,’ he shouted, prompting an insolent James to splutter, ‘I just did.’

After a few tense moments, James finally said: ‘I’m actually sorry… I didn’t realise it actually hurt you. I’m actually sorry about that. I really am. It’s not personal.’
