She has previously taken the news well, but later exploded at Jay and told him to “f**k off”, angry at the fact he didn’t tell her he liked Paige sooner.
Ekin-Su stormed off to the kitchen, but lots of the boys had overheard the heated bust-up and Jacques stepped in on the side of Jay.
Jacques then branded Ekin-Su a “f****ng headache” – telling her: “He [Jay] coupled up with you and found out what you are in two days mate, a f*****g headache.”
Ekin-Su replied: “No, shut up Jacques. He wants to get to know Paige.”

The actress said Jay had led her on, saying: “There’s nothing wrong with people getting to know each other.”
A frustrated Dami could be heard complaining: “Oh my God.”
Ekin-Su insisted: “What is muggy is holding my hand, cuddling me for a week.”
