He denied it, saying that it wasn’t him behind the profile, but she didn’t believe him as the profile looked like it had been verified.
At the commitment ceremony, Nelly said she “downplayed” how she had been feeling and was annoyed that Steven made a cooked breakfast in bed for April in the partner swap when she never had that experience.
He admitted that things switched to friendship in his mind during partner swap, stating: “I like the girl, but I can’t see something progress romantically.”

Nelly decided that it was best for her to leave, saying she was disappointed with how things have turned out but had learned from the process to be more assertive. Steven also decided to leave.
Fans were thrilled that Nelly had stood up for herself and in such a dramatic way, while others couldn’t believe Steven insisted he wasn’t on the app all the way to the end.
“LOOOOOL NELLY FINALLY STANDING UP FOR HERSELF!!!!! She came with receipts!!” wrote one fan, while another said: “Hinge is also a bastard to verify so it’s deffo deffo him who had the account.”
“I’m now waiting for the plot twist, that it’s not Stephen but his identical third cousin,” joked another viewer, while a fourth said: “Thank f**k for that Nelly!!!! Bout time you wrote leave.”
“Well done Nelly you deserve so much better,” agreed a further fan, while a fellow viewer hoped that Nelly would “hold on to her lesson about prioritising herself.”
