“I think you said something after like ‘ahh play along’ something like that?”

Emma giggled before she said: “Look I’m glad you brought that up because the whole thing was a complete joke.

“Harry and I had nothing else to talk about and we are both really playful but I can confirm there was no game plan and we were just being silly.

“None of it was serious.”

Taking to, the brunette beauty expressed: “Hey guys, I’m just jumping on here to address tonight’s episode where Helena said she owes me an apology.

“I just wanted to say that she absolutely doesn’t, there is no need to apologise to me for how she spoke to me. We both could have handled things better and I’m no angel.”

Proving there was no issue between them, she concluded: “So no need to apologise, all good, no bad blood.”
