"She struggled to hide her emotion during filming of the Casa Amor re-coupling.
"It was tough for her to see the reaction from some of the girls, who were shocked to discover the level of betrayal demonstrated by their partner.
"Some of the couples had been together for a significant number of weeks so it was particularly painful for those to reunite under different circumstances.
