In tonight’s episode, Victoria and Luke consoled Ethan as he revealed the headless man he’d been chatting to on a dating app had blocked him and deleted his profile.
When Ethan said the mystery man must have been put off by the beach photo he sent, Luke said: “Maybe he chickened out, or he could have a wife and kids. Or he could be some saddo. If you think that this is over, you in your speedos, you need your head testing.”
The penny dropped for Ethan as he realised he’d never mentioned any speedos.
Accusing Luke of catfishing, he said: “My mystery app man. Turns out there’s no wife, just a girlfriend.”
Luke denied it but when Ethan threatened to call Vic over and have her look through his phone, he panicked.
“Please don’t. I didn’t mean to lead you on, alright.”
But at that Ethan stormed out before Luke had a chance to explain himself.
