‘We’ve not been the master strategists that you are, but, let’s face it, we’re smarter than you!’
Paul, who also stars on Married At First Sight, hit back: ‘Do you know why you always insult us? Because your emotional intelligence is on zero.’
As Mark swiftly replied that he was ‘nice to the people that counts’ Paul followed up, telling him: ‘When you get nervous, you insult people.’
The awkward exchange continued as Mark continued that it was a sort of teaching response from him.
Irked by his comments, Paul swiped: ‘What you did right there, that’s contempt. You wanna be a teacher? Try being a damn student first!’
Later on, Mark reflected on the situation, telling the cameras: ‘I’ve upset Paul. I didn’t mean to but I don’t like talking about my feelings, especially in front of a lot of people.’
He then offered Paul an apology and the pair agreed to put the exchange behind them when Mark assured him that he was ‘genuine’.
Mark has recently lost a lot of weight, after ballooning to 29 stone at his heaviest.

After being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, he has since lost a whopping 10 stone and managed to do so from changing his diet and doing more exercise.
Last year, he revealed that he now has the same figure that he had when he was 18.
He told OK!: ‘I’ve got roughly the same physique as I had when I was playing rugby at 18 years old, but I’ve got less muscle so that might take it down even more.’
