Victoria continued: ‘And I feel absolutely hideous, that Craig feels this bad that he can’t get on and just prove us all wrong which was what I was kind of hoping would happen today. I really tried to be there for everybody on the boat.’

‘And it’s generally down to you. Some of the energy you adjudge to me as well has been fairly toxic.’
Fighting back tears, Victoria said: ‘Literally that breaks my heart Craig, that actually breaks my heart, and yeah just erm…’ before storming off crying: ‘Just seriously!’
