Overview

• After the Oct. 15 episode split the cast for separate outings, Joe told fellow grooms he had huge doubts about his marriage and was probably not head over heels.
• He left a group spa day to take time alone, saying he felt overwhelmed and revealing his grandfather had recently died.
• In a post published Thursday, Joe called the bereavement a "reality check" and said the show's bubble made balancing real life difficult.
• OK! Magazine reported that pressure on Joe to relocate to Newcastle for Maeve and her child has contributed to his reassessment.
• Maeve appeared unaware of his private doubts on-screen, as tabloids relayed unverified viewer speculation about a possible link to recently exited bride Sarah.
