Hitting below the belt: In a new extended preview of reality show True Tori, which premieres Tuesday at 10pm on Lifetime, Dean McDermott tells wife Tori Spelling that their inadequate sex life 'wasn't fantastic' and led to him cheating on her late last year

'We have four kids, so in the sex department there were ebbs and flows,' he explains, asking his wife: 'Is that safe to say?'

Clearly her answer is no, as she counters: 'We had a great relationship and we had a great sex life.'

'We would have sex once every two weeks,' McDermott argues, kicking the boot in with the comment: 'It wasn't fantastic.'

'I can never give him enough sex': The 40-year-old cries as she admits her fear that Dean is 'never going to be happy with just me'

Tori looks exasperated at the hurtful remark, throwing her hands up in despair and glaring at her husband as she seeks some support from their therapist.

'What? What did I say?' Dean responds defensively, clearly oblivious to what he's done wrong.

Stepping in with some sage words of advice, the therapist explains a few home truths to Dean.

'Dean, your expectation of what a marriage is supposed to be like sexually - it's like a fairytale,' she tells him point blank.

'I don't understand, why her?' The mom-of-four asks through tears, to which her husband of almost eight years reveals he 'wasn't attracted to her; it was just like a warm body' - not that it's any comfort to the star

'I cheated on my wife. That's my worst nightmare': The 47-year-old takes ownership of his indiscretion, but Tori counters, 'Or that you got caught?' to which he hesitates before responding uncertainly, 'I... I don't know'

'I can never give him enough sex,' the 40-year-old actress cries as she sorrowfully admits: 'He's never going to be happy with just me.'

Taking ownership of his mistake, McDermott then makes a poignant admission of his own.

'I'm insatiable. Sex was an escape, just like drugs and alcohol,' he says.

In an attempt to come to terms with her husband's affair, Tori bravely asks: 'I don't understand,

why her?'

Little comfort: Dean tries to soothe his wife's tears, though it's unclear if their relationship is still salvageable or not at this stage

'I wasn't attracted to her; it was just like a warm body,' Dean tries to justify his indiscretion with 28-year-old Emily Goodhand, which occurred late December while he was filming his series Chopped Canada in Toronto.

Showing grace under fire, the doting mom-of-four displays great restraint as she responds that she's 'mad, really mad' at the situation.

Despite his reasoning that he wasn't getting enough attention at home, Dean does admit that his actions were his 'worst nightmare' - seemingly revealing that he had long envisioned himself making such a betrayal.

'My worst nightmare is what I did, absolutely,' he says. 'I cheated on my wife. That's my worst nightmare.'

'Or that you got caught?' Tori bravely dares ask, to which he husband is rendered speechless as

he ponders the question.

'I... I don't know,' he stumbles.
