Last night Tommy and Jade became physically close, and in the morning after, relations between them are awkward.
Dr Gareth Smith says, "At the early stages of a relationship the key to success is good communication. Being able to talk freely and openly about feelings is essential. But unfortunately in the House privacy is at a minimum."
This leaves Tommy and Jade unable to talk about what happened without everyone else listening in. Thankfully they both have Tracey to confide in, which gives them the benefit of an objective opinion, but does prove to isolate them further from each other.
"Tracey," says Dr Gareth, "indirectly gains from their difficulties. By acting as their confidant she becomes a keeper of secrets and therefore becomes closer to them both."
Ultimately, in a house where keeping a secret is impossible, it seems as long
as there is a modicum of trust, relationships will continue to grow.
