'Taking out your best mate’s guy, telling me that it was purely because he made you laugh, then all of a sudden you fancy him, you’ve got a connection and you’re trying to kiss him. Now you’re denying trying to kiss him calling him a liar?'
Georgia then called Jack over, with the hunk insisting that he they did not kiss on the lips on purpose, as he said: 'Unintentionally, we kissed on the lips. Agreed. After that kiss, you went in for another little kiss and I backed away. If you didn’t feel that or see that, I don’t know why.'

He later said in the Beach Hut: 'All this drama all this madness it's only between two people and I think a lot of speculation's going on, and it equals basically nonsense.'
Fans were quick to praise the hunk for attempting to dispel the situation, though some remained conflicted as to whether their views on him could change so abruptly.
Every the supportive friend, Alex also took the chance to defend Georgia, telling Ellie: 'You cannot lose it in that way. You've got far too much to say around a lot of people in this place, go away.'

'I don’t need to have a conversation because I don’t want to make up with her. I just want to keep my distance and move on. I don’t need to waste any more energy on that girl because I don’t like her.'

And despite being coupled up with the blonde beauty. Charlie couldn't resist taking a dig at her recent behaviour, muttering she was 'f*****g immature' as she walked away from the day bed.
Sad: Laura also admitted to Jack she was left upset by his disinterest in trying to comfort her after the catfights
Laura was also left upset by Jack's response to the clash the previous night, saying she expected him to be more comforting in bed.
She told him: 'I'm just fed up being nice and getting s**t on. I was upset last night and I wanted Jack to just console me a bit in bed. I feel a bit vulnerable I guess.'
