Love Island's Maura Higgins told her fellow Islanders she would "get frisky" - just hours before her infamous Hideaway row with ex Tom Walker.
28-year-old Maura had slammed Tom for saying she was "all mouth" and accused him of stepping out of line.
A furious row ensued but Tom has now claimed Maura kicked-off after doing exactly the same thing.
Tom told the Sun : "She said when the text came through: 'Someone's going to get frisky.'
"That was the build-up to it. Michael had said: 'I wonder if she's all mouth' and I just repeated it. It was thinking out loud rather than throwing it at her."
Tom added: "There was a petition to get rid of her before I went in for the way she put herself onto Tommy, which I obviously saw, when he dodged a couple of kisses from her.
"If that had been a guy putting it on a girl like that there would have been an uproar. I think people were offended. I had seen that so I had reservations going in."
It wasn't all bad. He said: "But me and her did get on one-on-one. We did have a good relationship. She was giving out a lot of banter and she was taking banter.
"It was good fun. I said that comment and in hindsight I should shouldn't have said it to the boys, I should have said it to her - but I was really surprised at her reaction.
"It was tongue-in-cheek. I didn't expect anything from the Hideaway. I wasn't going in hoping for a wild night of sex. She took it so literally and got so offended, I was quite shocked.
"One of the guys in the group, Michael, might have said: 'I wonder if she's all mouth'.
"I just repeated it. I was thinking out loud rather than throwing it at her."
Meanwhile, Maura was 'raging' to hear that she and partner Curtis Pritchard had finished in fourth place, viewers said.
They claimed the Irish grid girl's reaction was caught on camera as the public vote was announced during Monday's live final.
Fans of the show said Maura looked sour-faced when she and Curtis were revealed to be less popular than their co-stars.
The show was won by Amber Gill and Greg O'Shea and they share the £50,000 prize money.
