I don’t think Samira is right - Ellie has been perfectly honest with Alex that the whole thing is awkward and forced. And if they coupled up they would have to see if it normalised or just didn’t work.
Samira was just trying to put Alex off Ellie so he’d pick her.
Btw someone MUST sort Alex’s skin - why is the red not going down, why is he not upping his sun factor/wearing a tshirt. Where is his mum?
