During the episode, Michael appeared surprisingly calm despite the scandal, but the businessman’s blow-up with the legal graduate, 26, came later, when the cameras weren’t rolling. 

A WHO Magazine source alleged Michael angrily called Stacey ‘scum’ and told her to ‘go f**k Mikey again’, after being convinced the cheating scandal was true.

It is believed producers were forced to separate the pair when Michael told the mother-of-two that she was ‘an embarrassment to her children’.
