Chloe wasn't happy that a video had emerged which saw Ferne frolicking with another man in Las Vegas, but Ferne had wanted her to mind her own business.

Beyond awkward... Charlie's reconciliation dinner on Sunday night's episode for Chloe and Ferne was a total disaster
'Things are really good between me and Charlie, I wish it was the same between me and Chloe,' she said.
'The difference between Chloe and me is that I'm forgiving, she isn't. I apologise, she doesn't. I'm not sure sorry is in Chloe's vocabulary,' Ferne explains.
Meanwhile the Essex mums caught up for a good gossip about what transpired in Marbs.

But Chloe isn't budging and refuses to make up. 'When people upset me I feel like sorry is just a word. I appreciate you coming in. I'm not interested in your relationship. Whatever you and Charlie get up to is whatever you get up to,' Chloe says.

And it worked! Gemma loved the present
Harry attempts to smooth things over with Gemma by gifting her with a goldfish and somehow his crazy plan works. 'Harry that is so lovely,' Gemma beams before warning Harry he needs to tell Bobby the truth about his infidelities.
'I have had a couple of days to think about what happened in Marbs. It weren't nice. I just wanted to apologise. I feel so bad. I just need Bobby back and I will do anything to get him back,' Harry says.
Everyone is reunited at Georgia's party and although the evening gets off to a good start, with Georgia receiving a car from her parents, it doesn't take long for drama to unfold.
Gemma tells Bobby about the goldfish and Bobby is annoyed he hasn't been given anything from his cheating ex. 'Why the f**k have you got a goldfish and I've got nothing? I haven't even got a bookmark off the kid.'

Over in a secluded booth Grace finally succumbs to Tom's charms and agrees to go on a date with him so he can prove he's a mature man, despite their age difference.

Arg tries to chat to Lydia and she explains he's coming on too strong: 'I don't want to shut you down. I feel like it's gone from zero to 100 in two weeks. It's moving way too quickly and you're suffocating me. The fact you're seeing my mum more than me is a little bit weird. Are you just using my family to claw your way back in,' Lydia asks.
Arg agrees to move slower and asks Lydia if she'll come to a Stevie Wonder concert 'as friends' and she kindly agrees. 'That is actually a really nice gesture,' she says.
While the party kicks on, the reconciliation dinner between the Chloe and Ferne is extremely icy so the lads take things into their own hands and pressure the girls into making up.

'I love you and I get on with you and I said things in the heat of an argument and I apologise. I just want to move forward,' Ferne begs.
'What is it you want me to apologise for? Protecting my brother? I feel sad but I don't feel sorry,' Chloe retorts. A protective Elliott lashes out at Ferne and says she's disrespected Chloe.
