In a savage twist, presenter Maya Jama returned to the villa to reveal that each couple had been posed a question by audiences, before concluding on a stunning cliffhanger when Samie was questioned whether she would tell the truth about what her friend Sophie had said regarding Belle during telephone calls home, reports OK!.
And tonight (February 19), tensions remained escalating as Samie was compelled to disclose what was said and provided her explanations, confessing she “didn’t want to kick a girl whilst she was down”.
Later in the episode, the girls were spotted departing on a shopping excursion after Samie received a text message that stated: “Tonight is date night in the Villa. Girls a shopping trip awaits because the perfect date starts with the perfect set up. Please get ready to leave the Villa.”
As they ventured out for a spot of shopping, the lads were then taken aback when Tommy also got a text which said: “Boys, whilst the girls are away it’s time to get some opinions from home. Video calls incoming!”
First to receive their video call home was Scott who chatted to his sister Steph. She told him: “We love Leanne, with Leanne I see it really, really soon on.
