A woman breaks down in tears after begging her boyfriend for an open relationship backfires at a sex-filled party on the upcoming episode of Open House: The Great Sex Experiment.
Friday’s (20 June 2025) instalment of the racy Channel 4 show welcomes a new married couple into the mix – Sharmayne, 26, and Jamie, 29, from Essex.
In an exclusive first look, obtained by MailOnline, the pair head to their first social event as a couple to see if they can find anyone suitable for them.
After chatting to some of the residents as a couple, they separate and go off to chat to others as individuals.
However it seems that Sharmayne isn’t comfortable with her man talking to other women as her ‘jealous’ side comes out.
While Jamie talks to another couple, Sharmayne grabs him and tells him: ‘I want to step out.’
She adds: ‘I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed.’
He asks: ‘Do you want to take a little break?’
Sharmayne adds: ‘… of the situation, yeah.’
The couple head outside and Sharmayne starts crying.
She tells her husband: ‘I just feel overwhelmed.’
‘It’s just a bit much for me, the whole situation.’
He tells her: ‘We’re not obligated to do anything. This is our journey.’
Sharmayne confesses: ‘I’m just uncomfortable.’
Jamie asks her: ‘Where do we go from here?’ to which Sharmayne tells him: ‘I don’t know.’
He tells her that the decision is in her hands.
But Sharmayne confesses: ‘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.’
It comes after a man was sick after being told he has to let partner sleep with another man during last week’s episode.
One couple who appear on the instalment, Tom and Lauren, were keen to spice things up a bit in the bedroom.
After a chat with non monogamy expert Effy Blue, the expert said that she wanted the dynamics to ‘change a bit’ and the pair should both have experiences without each other.
Effy told viewers: ‘Today is about challenging Tom to be independent.
‘I’m curious to see how that will affect the dynamics they have between them.
‘Lauren needs to be a partner to Tom, not a caretaker.’
As they return to their room, Lauren told Tom: ‘Don’t be nervous.
‘You absolutely got this.’
Lauren told the camera: ‘It was my idea. It was my idea from the start.
‘Yes it’s throwing me and Tom in the deep end…
‘But to be able to have him to have the confidence that we can go off, have our fun, come back to each other at the end of the night and it’s absolutely insane.’
The voiceover said: ‘But the thought of flying solo entirely naked isn’t sitting well with Tom.’
Tom can then be heard being sick in the toilet and Lauren runs to him with some water.
‘This is going to be horrible,’ Tom confessed and Lauren replied: ‘I just want to cuddle you.’
Tom said: ‘I feel absolutely petrified and sick.’
While hugging him from behind, Lauren told him: ‘All that anyone can ask is that you just try, okay?’
Open House: The Great Sex Experiment airs tonight at 10:00pm on Channel 4.
