'The fact that they are together, I think because I knew it was gonna happen - that part doesn't shock me,' she explained. 

Elma responded: 'You've handled the whole thing really, really well - too well almost.'

'That's why it makes me emotional, you've handled it so well that I feel like I'm taking on your emotions!' Chloe said. 

Amber went on to explain how Dan and their dog Oliver was 'her family' before breaking down at the thought of loosing them. 

'I'm already crying and I don't even know why,' she explained. 

The former couple have been embroiled in a bitter custody row over their dog, with Dan taking over his care while Amber has been living in Dubai. 

Previous episodes saw Amber tell Dan to 'feel free' to crack on with her 'if that makes him happy' during an argument about their 'shared' pet pooch, Oliver. 

Within days of landing at the Balinese resort, fans saw a whirlwind of drama as Dan and Ella ignited an unexpected romance, catching everyone off guard.

A source told The Sun: 'Amber had been seeing a guy who was based out in Dubai in recent months, but she recently called it a day with him.
