Tension was raised in last night's episode when the couples played a game to test how well they know one another.
Hugo said he wasn't a fan of "fake personality and looks" referring to women who've had plastic surgery.
Sharon and Faye had previously said they'd had lip filler and boob jobs, and were unhappy with his remarks.
