After hitting a rough patch in his relationship with 'wife' Booka Nile, a lonely Brett Helling crawled into bed with Patrick Dwyer and Belinda Vickers on Monday's episode of Married At First Sight.

'I think it's important that we can get a chance to chat at some point to move forward,' Brett said of his relationship with Booka, both 31.

He added: 'But, at the moment, I feel alone, and I do want someone by my side.'

Meanwhile, Patrick and Belinda, 29, had just crawled into bed at the couples retreat, when there was a knock on their bedroom door.

A shirtless Patrick, 27, climbed out of bed and opened the door to find Brett standing there in his pyjamas.

Both Patrick and Belinda burst out laughing at Brett's sombre appearance, with Belinda joking: 'That's not creepy at all.'

'Do you want to come on the side or the middle?' asked Patrick, patting the bed.

A huge smile crept over Brett's face, before he ran and jumped onto their bed, crawling in between Patrick and Belinda.

'He's coming in the middle! Three little bears,' laughed Belinda, before pulling the covers up over them.

She then snuggled up against Brett's shoulder, with both Patrick and Belinda seemingly ecstatic to have an extra person in their bed.

'Can you turn the lights off, guys?' Brett asked them, before both Patrick and Belinda turned off their bedside lamps.

He added in the dark: 'Watch your hands please, Patrick.'
