Elsewhere, hapless farmer Will Young’s Cape Town’s experience appears to be going from bad to worse after losing Olivia to Tom Clare during Tuesday’s climactic coupling. 

So what next for our growing group of not-so-hopeless romantics? Pull up a pie, but hold the cream. MailOnline has you covered.
