‘I guess when I saw you on the red carpet, I was like, “Wow”. From all the girls, you were someone that really, really stood out to me,’ Jimmy said.
‘I was like, “Ok, this is awesome. There’s something there”. And then mum came in and met you all and mentioned the fact that you spoke about your ex,’ he told her.
A surprised Steph denied ever speaking about her ex, to which Jimmy replied: ‘I don’t wanna sit here and have an argument with you.’
‘Do you genuinely see something here with me? ‘Cause if not, I think we should just call it a day.’
Bye bye! ‘I’m very happy to leave,’ a smug Steph replied, before she got up and walked away from the mansion
