Fran and Liz were both voted into the Love Shack by the viewers last night.
While Abi looked disappointed that she didn’t make it in, Liz appeared horrified at the prospect!
And Fran admits he is relieved not to be thrown in with Abi: “I thought I was going to get Abi. She’s a wicked girl but she a bit full on. She was making me uncomfortable.
“I didn’t know what to say. I (don’t) think she fancies me or anything. What about Isabella and Paul? I can’t believe she’s doing that. He’s tried it on with Abi, he’s tried it on with Rebecca!”
The two discuss their previous relationships. Liz says she hasn’t been in a serious relationship for a while and last had a boyfriend eight months ago.
Fran says he hasn’t for a year and four months. But despite their time being single, it certainly seems romance won’t blossom between them in the Love Shack.
“If I had to go in with anyone it would have to be Liz. At least we know each other and we can have a laugh,” says Fran.
Liz agrees: “No-one could make us a couple. Obviously there won’t be any romance but it will be a proper giggle…You’re going to see two people having a proper laugh. Reminiscing, have a lot of fun.”
Fran says: “I’m not going to miss the evenings at all to be honest. We can have a drink and have a chat now. You’re not going to miss the arguments are you? It might be nice to have a little break. Being with loads of different people, there’s always loads of stuff going on.
“We’ve not shared living space together before. We’re used to each other because we know each other well. I’m not worried at all. It’s just gonna be chilled.”
Calum later says that he knew what would happen as soon as the public voted for Liz: “I was sure they would pick Fran. They are mates, but Fran’s ex-fiancé who Fran has a baby with is Liz's band mate, so that’s a pretty tricky one.
“If he had gone in there to flirt he would of picked Isabella because I think he thinks she’s a bit stunning.
"I think Fran was a bit nervous to go over there. I told him I wanted him to have a good time, but what I knew would do his nut in is that he’s always on the go and over there it’s really laid back.
"But I’m sure they’re getting on well and having a good time. I’m pretty damn positive they’ll be getting on. He’s going to be very polite, very respectful but I don’t think there’ll be any romance, it’s more fun. He’ll be more comfortable with her than with any other girl.”
