As Aaron, 24, sat next to Lucinda giggling, Laura asked: "So what's going on? You and Aaron are mates now?"
Aaron responded: "Yeah, we're just friends," as Laura commented on how the show's panellist Darren Harriott being "so invested" in the situation.

After a public vote, the pair were forced to choose between who stays and who leaves the villa amongst themselves.
Brad, 26, did the gentlemanly thing and opted to leave the show and give Lucinda “more opportunities”, and it wasn’t long before he seemed to be a thing of the past.
They have now been seen dressed up for a night out in Brighton as they finally got the opportunity to continue their romance during their time in the villa and go clubbing in the photos published on Sunday.
Lucinda beamed as she wore a stunning white mini dress and tiered fluffy jacket.
While northerner Brad, 26, chose a matching black T-shirt and jeans combo.
Lucinda giggled as she showed off her stunning fresh locks and glamorous makeup, while Brad revealed his glowing tan as they strolled by the Brighton seafront.
