Tensions rose as Joey pulled Omar for a chat, said: “Obviously mate, you’ve got to understand I am hearing things…Grace has told me you’ve said a few things. She’s told you to behave….apparently you’ve been flirting with her.”

Omar interrupted: “But at the same time I’m going about my business…then I’m asking what’s been said and I ain’t being told what’s been said. So, that’s annoying me even more now…”

Joey told him: “I’m not trying to embarrass you.”

Hitting back, Omar replied: “But in the same breath you’re saying it’s no competition, it's no competition and I’m thinking, I ain’t even trying to compete with you. Why did you say it then?”
