Bryce then hit back, ‘You’re a blatant liar. I’m just listening to your bulls**t,’ before he went on to to clarify his version of events.
‘Okay, we had a conversation in the gym, I said that, and I said the comments, but I’d never mentioned the gift,’ he later admitted
He fired back, ‘Mate, I’m sorry I met a girl on Tinder two months before coming here and slept with her a couple of times, Is that not allowed to happen?’
Following his shock confession, Beck replied: ‘I didn’t even know that, but thanks for sharing that with the entire room.’
Despite going going to his best effort to keep his affairs under wraps, Bryce explained that his relationship ended four weeks before signing up to the show.
