Now Jordan's show bride Erica Roberts has revealed the extent of the bust-up.
She said: " As soon as it happened, my initial reaction was I was in complete and utter shock - I couldn't actually believe it had just happened.

"Jordan couldn't do anything. It was as if he was, he had his hands tied behind his back.
I think he knew 'if I throw a punch here, if I get aggressive, I'm gone', and he didn't want it to get to that. It was just awful to see your partner in that kind of situation."
Erica added that seeing Luke afterwards "triggered" her and left her feeling "extremely panicky".
Luke - who branded Jordan a "f****** scumbag" after being dropped from the show - was paired with Jay Howard for the experiment, with them both leaving after the fight.
