Following weeks of tension between the pair, Josh has sensationally accused his TV wife of being “fame-hungry”. Speaking to TV Week, Josh revealed that Cathy only applied to the show to boost her profile, adding that she tried to convince him to stay in the experiment so they’d get more airtime.

“Behind the scenes, she was like, ‘What do I need to do to get you to stay to the end?’ And I’m like, ‘Cathy, it’s not about staying to the end’.”

Josh also alleged that Cathy had been “cold” towards him when the cameras weren’t rolling.

“It’s all good and well to act like the happy couple on camera, but it should be exactly the same off-camera too,” he told the publication.

The couple’s romance came to a head at Sunday night’s commitment ceremony when Josh suggested they’d be better off as friends.

“I’m worried that we’re going to be just friends next week, and that’s all it is going to be. I don’t want to be negative, but there’s a difference between what you want and what you feel. I have doubts,” Josh said.

She responded: “I actually walked into this commitment ceremony quite confident. I’ve tried not to think about too much of the future because it is quite overwhelming.

“But then I feel pressured to feel a romantic feeling in quite a short amount of time. You’ve given me an ultimatum by next week, and now I’m like, “Oh s**t’.”
