Joe was questioned if he and Elly’s connection was more serious than a ‘weekend away’ to which he offered a cagey response to the table.
‘It was that weekend. Yeah, it was that weekend,’ Joe, 25, told the table, choosing not to kiss-and-tell in front of the other suitors.
Elly at this stage could see James was becoming uncomfortable, which led to Becky call him out on his behaviour.
‘You alright, James?’ Becky asked, in a confrontational way. To which James replied curtly: ‘Yeah, I’m fine.’
Not a fan! James then dramatically got up and left in a bizarre moment which shocked everyone at the table. Elly (pictured) was extremely unimpressed with his behaviour, calling it a ‘red flag’ for her
As the intensity of the moment kept rising, James turned to co-star Frazer Neale and said he was going to leave the table.
‘I’m going to walk off the table bro,’ James said, after taking a gulp of his red wine.

Elly was extremely unimpressed with his behaviour, calling it a ‘red flag’ for her.
‘I have a history, I have a past and I’m not ashamed of it, and I don’t want to be with someone that’s going to be possessive or jealous or dramatic,’ she said.
‘To see this complete flip in his behaviour, it’s really unattractive,’ she said. ‘And honestly, it’s a massive red flag for me.’
