Before sitting in front of the experts, Michael was asked about his kiss with Hayley.
“I was legitimately paralyzed that night and I don’t remember it,” he recalls, with the kiss that would have taken place during an 11-day break in October.
Vanessa Romito, who was celebrating with Hayley and Michael on the night in question, added: “ You had logged in long enough for you to remember. It wasn’t a quick pash, buddy. Chris [Nicholls] was standing right next to me.
Chris, who was “married” to Vanessa, replied, “No, I was not. I saw Michael standing on Hayley dancing, I never saw them touch the lips. I stand by that.

Hayley, who immediately admitted the kiss, then spoke directly to Stacey.
Said, ‘Stacey, you’re a smart girl, and you know what happened. You love love so much and you really wanted to see the best of it.
“I think you are looking at this thing through pink glasses – but you know in your heart what happened.”

As Stacey and Michael went to sit in front of the relationship experts, she said the most recent charges that she had slept with Mikey had caused them to separate.
“From my point of view, it was reciprocal. I felt there was a doubt, there was so much doubt. And after all that I have endured, I have always considered myself a faithful partner, ” she said.
“I always had my back. But there is no doubt, no confidence and that’s it.
Michael added, “If that’s true, I can handle the truth – but what I can’t manage are the lies.”
Relationship experts have moved on to Stacey’s alleged infidelity.
“We never had an overnight stand. We were friends, you were there for me and I told Michael. What do i gain [from lying]? ‘: Stacey continued to deny having slept with Mikey
Mikey once again claimed that he slept with Stacey, saying, “ For me to sit here and be the reason for your separation, it makes me emotional because I did the wrong thing .
“But for all I knew, Michael and Stacey didn’t get along and he had moved. I never thought you’d be together. I really thought you were done.
Stacey replied, “We have never had a single night with Mikey. We were friends, you were there for me and I told Michael. What do i gain [from lying]?
Michael concluded their stay in the series by explaining that although he is still “ in love ” with Stacey, there is too much doubt between them to be reconciled.
While she doesn’t know if he kissed Hayley, he doesn’t know if she slept with Mikey.
