In reaction to the decision by "muggy Mike", Chris chose to couple up with Chloe Crowhurst and made it clear it was only on a "friendship" level.

Mike's feeling for Olivia had been clear earlier in the episode when the semi-professional footballer snogged the Monster racing grid girl.

Chris' extreme arrogance about how everyone fancies him crumbled as he watched on in anger.

From the moment that Mike walked in to the villa, the girls have been eager to bed him.

Olivia's head was turned immediately, despite spending time with Chris in the run-up to his arrival.
