During the recoupling, Caroline Flack has pushed Amber to reveal her feelings on the saga in front of the Islanders and Amber replied: "I had a sneaky feeling, it is disappointing."
While Michael told the group: "It feels different really, because she's stood there alone.
"I'm a little bit surprised. There's situations where I thought she wasn't that into me and I was biting me tongue.
"I haven't been myself over the last two weeks. Every time I say something to you you either laugh in my face, which is really disrespectful."

Michael was accused of 'gaslighting' Amber with his remarks as many viewers disagreed that she was to blame for his mood in the villa.
'Gaslighting' is when a person convinces someone that they've done something wrong when they haven't - which Joe Garratt was accused of doing earlier in the series to Lucie Donlan.
The term originates from Patrick Hamilton's 1938 play, Gas Light, in which a husband convinces his wife that she's gone insane.
