Last night they clashed after Charlie discovered Eve had branded her a bully to co-star Polly Sellman.

And tonight there were more tears when Eve was caught listening in to Charlie’s “safe space, breaking her trust in the process.

Eve insisted Charlie was lying when she accused her of eavesdropping in the ceremony, but expert Mel Schilling was on hand to announce to the room that it was Eve who was telling fibs.

The couple were then tasked with writing down whether they wanted to stay and give the relationship a go or leave and walk away from each other for good.

Eve was first to reveal her choice, with Leave scrawled on her card.

It appeared to irk Charlie, who also opted to quit the experiment.

After it became apparent the duo were going their separate ways, Charlie said: “I know things didn’t work out good but yous are f**king amazing, and you’re a great person too, Charlie, I hope someone makes you very happy.”

Charlie didn’t take the compliment too kindly, sniping that Charlie never gave her a chance.

Eve responded: “Keep your head held high, Charlie.”

Speaking to camera, Charlie said: “I’m conflicted. Yes, it’s the right decision but its still tough walking away from people you have feelings for.

“I’m leaving a heartbroken woman right now.”

Before leaving the room, both Charlie and Eve were given hugs from their tearful co-stars.

Prior to the ceremony, Charlie had grown fed-up with Eve’s unwillingness to co-operate with the experiement.

Earlier in the series the couples were tasked with writing letters to each other to open up about their relationships, but Charlie was left upset when Eve revealed she hadn’t done it. 

The moment was just one in a long line of arguments between the couple and followed Eve spending next to no time with Charlie on their honeymoon. 

Eve claimed she preferred to spend quality time with Charlie, but Charlie shot back: “But you don’t, you haven’t. Stop, because you’re lying.”

A shocked Eve asked: “Are you joking me right now?”

As the row escalated, Charlie broke down in tears and furiously asked Eve to leave the apartment.

John Amos’s cause of death has been confirmed, just over a month after he died on August 21 aged 84.

The Good Times actor died from congestive heart failure at a Los Angeles hospital, according to a death certificate obtained by People.

No other significant medical conditions were listed as having contributed to his death, and no postmortem was performed.

While Amos died in August, his death was only recently announced by his son, film producer Kelly Christopher Amos.

“It is with heartfelt sadness that I share with you that my father has transitioned,” he shared in a statement on October 1. “He was a man with the kindest heart and a heart of gold… and he was loved the world over. Many fans consider him their TV father. He lived a good life. His legacy will live on in his outstanding works in television and film as an actor.”

Amos’s remains were cremated on August 30 – nine days after his death – the certificate reveals. Kelly is reportedly listed as the informant who notified the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health about his father’s death, as well as the person in possession of the ashes.

People reports that Amos’s “place of disposition” is listed as Kelly’s address.

A year before the actor’s death, Kelly was arrested on suspicion of making “terroristic threats” against his sister, Shannon Amos, who had previously accused him of not providing appropriate care to their father amid his health issues.

In March, the Los Angeles Police Department launched an investigation into Shannon’s elder abuse claims against Kelly, but it was closed a month later due to a lack of evidence.

Shannon has since reacted to her father’s death, saying that she and the rest of his family only learned about his passing “through the media like so many of you.”

“We are devastated and left with many questions about how this happened 45 days ago,” she wrote on Instagram. “This should be a time of honoring and celebrating his life, yet we are struggling to navigate the wave of emotions and uncertainties surrounding his passing. Still, there is some semblance of peace in knowing my father is finally free.”

In a subsequent Instagram Story, Shannon claimed that “someone was in the ER the night my father died and pretended to be his daughter.”

“I’m his only daughter. We believe it was Belinda Foster, the woman also posing to be his publicist. He died alone without family,” she said, calling on anyone with information to message her. “Any info shared will be confidential,” she assured.

Contact information for Foster was not immediately available.

Best known for his role as James Evans Sr on the Seventies sitcom Good Times, Amos also starred in the 1977 mini drama Roots as well as the Eddie Murphy-led film series Coming to America.

AFTER building a £24million empire as a YouTuber, boxer, rapper and energy drink magnate, KSI is now setting his sights on TV domination.

Not bad considering the social media sensation dropped out of education at 17.

The 31-year-old has 80million followers, and his Prime drinks sensation has enjoyed sales of £201million.

We revealed yesterday KSI will stand in as a judge on the next series of Britain’s Got Talent when Bruno Tonioli, 68, heads to the US to be on the panel of Dancing With The Stars, the US equivalent of Strictly Come Dancing.

KSI said: “I’m so excited to be a guest judge for BGT. When I got the call up, I couldn’t believe it.

“I remember watching old BGT episodes and going from being amazed to laughing my a**e off.

“I’m buzzing to see all the fresh new talent, and I’ll be sure to leave a mark.”

KSI — real name Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji — was born in London and brought up in Watford, Herts. His mum Olayinka worked as a PA and his dad Olajide managed a bingo hall.

He once told The Sun how his parents came to the UK from Nigeria as teenagers and “worked their asses off” to provide for him and younger brother Deji.

‘Mum was screaming, breaking glasses’

KSI — nicknamed JJ ­— said: “My mum would always be working, my dad would always be working.

“I remember being a kid and seeing how s**t it was. But that was life — it was just how it was.”

He never dreamed that, at the age of 21, he would buy a £260,000 Lamborghini Aventador.

And as an Arsenal superfan, the football club collaborating with him and US influencer Logan Paul on their Prime Hydration brand would’ve been a dream come true.

In fact, his career has been so stratospheric that it is being taught as part of the Media Studies A-Level.

JJ was privately educated at the £20,000-a-year Berkhamsted School, where he was just one of two black pupils.

He recalled facing “obvious racism” and remembers being so shy and introverted that he “couldn’t even speak to a girl”.

Age 15, he spent his time filming himself in his bedroom playing video games, including FIFA, and uploading them to YouTube under the name KSI — which stands for Knowledge, Strength, Integrity.

Explaining why he used the pseudonym, which he took from the name of a group of players in the video game Halo, JJ said: “I didn’t want to tell anyone.

Back then, people would be like, ‘What are you doing? You’re such a weirdo. Why are you making videos online?’”

But he paid so much attention to his online career that he failed his A-levels — and when he got his results, he hid in the loo to avoid his parents.

He said on the Headliners podcast: “We were in Portugal — I was in the toilet for about an hour and a half. I’d had a text from my teacher sending me the grades that I got for my AS levels.

“It was C, D, F and U, and I was terrified. I was like, ‘How am I going to show my parents this?’

“We were in so much debt because they were trying to get me into private school, and they were hoping I’d become a lawyer, doctor etcetera.

“So for me to come to them and be like ‘I failed,’ it was traumatic.

“I eventually told them my grades and my dad’s head was in his arms. He was just so disappointed.

“My mum was screaming. She was breaking glasses in the kitchen.”

His parents persuaded him to enrol on an International Baccalaureate course instead — but JJ quit sixth form in his second year when he started making money from lucrative YouTube ads and sponsorships.

He said: “I started making good money, to the point where I told my teacher I didn’t want to go to school.

“I told him I was making £1,500 a month, and it turned out it was more than him.

“As soon as I heard that, I realised YouTube was my calling. It was what I had to do.” That year, he joined forces with YouTubers Zerkaa (Josh Bradley), TBJZL (Tobi Brown), Behzinga (Ethan Payne), Vikkstar123 (Vikram Barn), W2S (Harry Lewis) and JJ’s school friend Miniminter (Simon Minter).

As The Sidemen, their clips comprised sketches, challenges, video-game commentary, as well as charity football matches — and they soon began earning millions.

JJ’s parents eventually came round when he earned enough to buy them a house in 2014.

He also splashed out on a specialised £280k Lamborghini Aventador, which he dubbed his “pride and joy”.

From 2016 to 2021, JJ and three of the Sidemen lived in a £4.5million London mansion which boasted six en suite bedrooms, a cinema, gym, large indoor swimming pool, sauna and 24-hour security.

With over 150 million subscribers across their channels, Sidemen are the UK’s biggest YouTube collective.

Last year, Netflix covered their rise to fame for a documentary — and they now also have a fast food chain called Sides, which produces £1million a week in revenue.

‘Fame is more of a problem than money’

But it could have all come crashing down early on in KSI’s career.

In 2015, following the release of his debut book titled I Am A Bellend and his debut single Lamborghini, women’s groups called for YouTube to remove some of KSI’s 2012 and 2013 videos, in which he jokingly pulls a “rape face”.

In another YouTube clip from August 2014, KSI asks a Page 3 model about her sex life while calling her a slut in the voiceover.

He was also banned from Eurogamer trade shows in 2012 after putting his face in the cleavage of model and presenter Brandy Brewer.

Brandy said she consented to the joke but Microsoft cut ties with JJ and he apologised.

In 2017, he quit the Sidemen to pursue his first passion — music.

The following year, he got his first Top 10 single in the UK charts with Down Like That.

He has since had five Top Five singles, with his biggest hits Holiday and Don’t Play going platinum.

As a boxer, he has competed under the name The Nightmare, making his ring debut in February 2018 against UK social media star Joe Weller. He has had two fights with US YouTuber Logan Paul, drawing the first and winning the second.

His biggest match was against Love Island star Tommy Fury in October last year — which, although he lost in a unanimous decision, still earned him £5million.

But that sum would have been a drop in the ocean for JJ, who has very expensive tastes.

In 2019, he bought a £65,000 Porsche 718 Boxster, with personalised licence plate K51 FLY.

He also owns a £60,000 Porsche Cayenne and has been seen driving a £250,000 Rolls-Royce Wraith around Los Angeles — where he’s been known to spend £8,000 on trainers at sneaker store Flight Club.

He also owns a £150,000 Rolex covered in diamonds and a bespoke £390,000 necklace.

JJ, who lives in a £10million pad in Kent, spends some of his money on his girlfriend who he reunited with last year after splitting in 2021.

But her identity is not known as JJ likes to keep his private life from his fans — and he once admitted he struggled with people “constantly” coming up to him.

He said on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast: “Fame has been more of a problem than the money.”

At 8pm tonight, KSI is releasing new singles Thick Of It and Low.

“This is essentially my comeback song,” KSI says of Thick Of It. “I talk about the history of my career and where I’ve come from.

“I’m giving my audience the blueprint on how to dream big and reach the goals that they want to reach.”

He has certainly had the Talent for that.
