“Gia pretty much gave me an ultimatum, said ‘If you don’t delete them then I am out’. She pretty much just walked out. I don’t know what to do, it is s***.” Gia later clarified in an interview that the reason she was so angry at finding the photos was that Scott’s ex was wearing only lingerie in them. Ouch.

Before walking out of the dinner party, he read out a letter he had written about what had happened between himself and Gia to his remaining castmates. “I came into this experiment with the highest hopes of finding someone that I would have something real with,” he read.

“I was so excited about the person I would be meeting and what our relationship would become, knowing I’d be committing myself wholeheartedly.”

“I’ve felt throughout this experience I’ve tried to be the best man I can be for Gia,” he said. “I’ve cared deeply for her during our time together and naturally my feelings were forming for her and our relationship.

“Sadly, though, this was never enough to appease Gia. I’ve been met with daily criticisms, belittling comments and threats of being left single.”

“I’ve come to realise though that no matter what I do or say it will never change who Gia is. At this point enough has been done and said to let me and everyone else know who Gia is and what she stands for,” he said. “Morally, we aren’t aligned. We hold different values of what a relationship should be. I can’t be with a woman who, behind my back, proclaims to the first guy, ‘I can’t be with a guy who doesn’t have money and will pay for everything’.

“I’m not sure what you’re looking for Gia, but I can tell you’re not the one for me. We are a different calibre of people.”

What have Gia and Scott said about their relationship?

It is safe to say shots have been fired from both camps in interviews and on social media. “You never cared when we broke up,” Gia posted about Scott on social media. “You never cared at all. You literally ghosted me after the show because there were no more cameras, so why don’t you shut up? And I would be saying more, but number one, I’m cut off from publicity, number two, I actually am in love and in the best relationship I’ve ever been in, in my life.”

Scott also said in an interview with Australian publication Nine.com.au that Gia criticised him during Homestays week when she came to visit. “She pointed out a lot more [problems] when the cameras weren’t there,” he said. “When someone tries to degrade you like that, it makes you feel pretty s**t to be honest.”
