This is a Sun exclusive.
Campaigners had labelled Jake's behaviour towards Liberty on the show “negging” – where a man makes flirty but negative comments to belittle a partner to change them.
Liberty told us: “I do think Jake is a genuine guy. I would hate to say he was emotionally abusive. It was in the heat of the moment and the energy was off.
“I feel like you know it's natural for a girl to want to impress a guy that she likes. So if he says he likes this, you try to impress them. But I just thought, ‘I'm not gonna, I don't want to feel like I'm not good enough for someone’. I wanted someone who likes me just the way I am.
“You want someone who accepts you for you. I think just the little things he was saying to me, like, ‘Your mess is giving me the ick’. I know I am a messy person. And other little things started to add up. There wasn’t enough reassurance. I did the right thing.”

After quitting the show last night Liberty told The Sun the red flags added up.
Liberty declared: "If he had said, ‘Let’s give it a go,’ it would not have been the right decision. I made the right decision for the both of us so we could both go our separate ways.
"You want someone who accepts you for you. I think just the little things he was saying to me, like, ‘Your mess is giving me the ick’. I know I am a messy person.
“And other little things started to add up. There wasn’t enough reassurance. I did the right thing. I do think Jake is a genuine guy. I would hate to say he was emotionally abusive. It was in the heat of the moment and the energy was off. We were going up and then down and I don’t feel like a relationship should feel like that.
“There were comments said that just didn’t sit right with me. I don’t want to feel like I’m annoying someone. I want to feel in love with someone and that that love is returned. The way it was going it wasn’t being returned.”
