Zac's unusual method to pay for dinner
In the clip shared ahead of Wednesday's episode, Zac is seen alone in the bathroom, saying: "I really hope no-one walks in right now, but I need to pay for this meal." As his date waits at their table, he pulls out his phone and photographs his sock, adding: "If my date knew what I was doing right now, she would kill me."
However, Nicole soon uncovers the truth. Reunited, she asks how many pairs of socks he goes through a month, to which Zac replies: "A lot to be fair." When Nicole asks if he "sells his underwear," Zac simply responds: "Maybe."
Nicole's reaction and tonight's episode
Nicole admits: "It is a bit icky I'm not going to lie. I actually am gobsmacked... wild." Whether the pair can work through their differences remains unknown, with the episode airing at 10pm and available to stream on Channel 4 online.
