The troubled couple later left the room to have a heart to heart and Eve did her best to console her wife.

Though she admitted to telling Polly she felt she had been bullied, she insisted she’d told Polly not to say anything tonight.

Just minutes later in a one on one chat with Polly, Eve was heard thanking her for her intervention and looked gleeful as they shared a hug.

She said: “I really appreciate you doing that and I can’t help but be so relieved, though I can’t help but feel the timing was wrong.”

She added: “Thank you, Polly. I really f***ing need you to stick up for me.”

Viewers were aghast at the duplicity.

One wrote on X: “Seriously, why is Eve THANKING Polly. I would be launching her to Mars.”

Another exclaimed: “Eve is so fake.”

A third said: “Omgggg Eve is soooo two faced … telling Polly thanks for telling her she’s a bully but timing was you’re showing ur true colours!!!”

A fourth vented: “Eve literally said ‘i told her not to speak’ to Charlie but has just told polly thanks for saying something? she’s sick.”

Later in the dinner party Polly and Charlie had another sit down chat, and the former apologised for her earlier accusations and not taking Charlie’s feelings into account.

While Charlie accepted the apology, she said she didn’t feel comfortable talking to Polly about her relationship.

The experts felt the tense exchange left a lot unresolved and were fearful of further drama.

The first honesty box of the series followed, with the couples answering personal questions in front of each other.

Caspar and Emma kicked things off by discussing their sex life.

Emma expressed that it was the biggest factor missing in their relationship so far and hoped they would get to a point of intimacy.

Later on, Charlie told Eve she was “serious” about the experiment and wanted her wife to grab the show by the horns and allow her to show that her intentions are genuine.

Saturday Night Live has been slammed as “irrelevant” after a sketch on the premiere of their 50th season failed to amuse the subject of the gag.

SNL returned on 28 September with a show hosted by Jean Smart and featured an already infamous sketch about singer Chappell Roan and the viral pygmy hippopotamus, Moo Deng.

Another sketch on the episode was a fake advert for the US store Spirit Halloween, a seasonal retailer that has more than 1,500 locations across North America. The stores often open for the Halloween season and then close after the festivities are over.

In the voiceover for the sketch, SNL cast member Heidi Gardner, “Times may be good on Wall Street, but on Main Street, communities are struggling. Closed stores, shuttered businesses, empty parking lots… When hard times hit, it’s easy to feel like no one cares.”

Gardner continues, adding that “help is on the way because when others leave, we show up” and that they will be welcoming customers “for six weeks and then bouncing.”

Chloe Fineman then takes a dig at Spirit Halloween’s costumes, which often have vague descriptions to avoid any copyright issues. For instance, in the sketch, a young girl asks for a Taylor Swift outfit and is handed a disguise called “blonde singing woman”.

Fineman says: “We’re here providing vulnerable communities with the things they need most: Wigs that give you a rash, single-use fog machines, and costumes of famous characters tweaked just enough to avoid a lawsuit.”

Although Spirit Halloween has become something of a meme in recent years, SNL’s attempt to mock the retailer didn’t sit well with the store itself.

Responding on X/Twitter, the Spirit Halloween account wrote: “We are great at raising things back from the dead @nbcsnl”. The accompanying image was of a Spirit Halloween costume was of SNL and was called “Irrelevant 50-year-old TV show”.

Elsewhere, on SNL James Austin Johnson reprised his role as Donald J Trump on Saturday Night Live, making a joke about the former president picking the wrong running mate with Ohio Senator JD Vance.

“People are saying he was a bad pick and in many ways he was,” Johnson’s character says before introducing Vance, played by Bowen Yang, at a rally. An enthusiastic Yang walks on stage, saying Johnson’s version of Trump told him: “JD, you’re like a son to me, because I don’t like you. I’m stuck with you.”

RIPPED Gaz Beadle today looked loved-up with his stunning new bikini-clad girlfriend as they hit the beach together on holiday in Marbella.

Gaz and Maia looked every inch the smitten kittens as they enjoyed their sunshine break,

The pair could be seen frolicking in the sea as they showed off their toned bodies.

The pair looked like Ken and Barbie as they showcased their ripped torsos.

At one pint cheeky Gaz could be seen taking a picture of his new girlfriend’s peachy bum.

Maia looked incredible in her white bikini, with her blonde hair swept back.

The new pictures, come shortly after the smitten pair went Instagram official with a cute post.

In the picture, Gary is seen looking lovingly at bikini-clad Maia as they stand on a beach, with the blonde smiling back at him as they wade in the water.

He simply captioned the photo: “Winter sun with you 🥰 Thank you for everything”

Despite being a reality TV millionaire, the Geordie Shore star admitted that he nabbed a bargain, paying just £540 all-inclusive for flights and a hotel stay.

Influencer Maia officially became his girlfriend during their Morocco pic, writing “will you be my gf?” surrounded by rose petals on their hotel bed.

The new relationship comes fresh after Gaz’s split from golfing sensation Charley Hull.

The pair called it quits just two months ago with insiders telling The Sun “it all got a bit too much”.

Gaz split from his ex wife with Emma McVey last October, following their eight-year romance.

They share two children together, Chester, 5 and Primrose, 4.

Emma has since found a new love as well, confirming the romance this summer.

Despite their amicable breakup, fans have called out the pair for moving on, forcing them to release a joint statement asking people to back off.

Posted to their separate Instagram Stories, the pair shared: “We hate the fact we have to justify ourselves but when there’s so much speculation on our lives that isn’t true we have to.

“Me and Emma are better than we ever have been, we speak daily and are really good friends.

“Our marriage broke down a long time before we publicly announced we were separating, and it’s taken a lot to get where we are now but we are both happy and happy for each other,” the message continued.

“Our main focus through it all has been the kids, and we’ve done everything to make sure their lives stay settled and happy.

“Both of us are in new relationships and we all get along well, and we can say we are so proud of ourselves to be able to all stay as one team.”
