The caption for the clip read: “Wow this is insane! What are the chances??? Sorry about the very dodgy video! We couldn’t get anything to work! But you get the point.”
In the clip, Amanda said: “Everyone’s waiting with bated breath to see what our expose is… So, back in the 90s – way, way, way before you were born – I was a uniformed police officer and I used to work at Islington Police Station. One of my favourite, favourite people to go out on patrol with was a guy called Jonathan.
“Jonathan and I used to go out in our car and on the beat, and we’d go and catch criminals [in] life-or-death situations, stuff like that. And there’s a bit of a connection. What is it, Jade? What’s the connection?”
Jade then revealed: “This Jonathan is actually my boyfriend Sam’s dad.” Jade then revealed how they worked out the connection. She continued: “What are the chances? I messaged you after the show, like: ‘Where did you work?'”
‘Biggest coincidence ever in the world’
Amanda added: “Yeah and it was like: ‘Yeah, you know, I’m a Met Police officer.’ The Met Police is huge and then you said North London and I was like: ‘Okay.” Then you said 90s and I was like: ‘Okay.’ And then we just narrowed it down, and I said: ‘What’s his name?’
“You told me his name and I still didn’t believe it. I said: ‘Send me a photo’. You sent me a photo and I said: ‘That’s Johnny!’ That’s just insane! I don’t think people realise just how [it’s] the biggest coincidence ever in the world.”
Jade noted: “It’s ridiculous!” with Amanda – who was convinced Jade was a Traitor – continuing: “And do you know what? What’s absolutely lovely about all this is he was my favourite person when I was a young cop. He was so, so good. He had a photographic memory and I loved it.
“So, there you go everybody! That’s our little expose, hope you enjoyed it!”
