Visibly unnerved by the display, Baked Potato and Nathan had a candid chat, but were interrupted by Martha.
Nathan then opened up to Ali in the corridor, where he said that he and Rosie shared a 'perfect' chat during the fire drill earlier in the week.
He explained: 'We got out here and spoke openly and freely and it was perfect, we said ''Let's wait until we're out of this place before we carry on.''
'The whole plan was, we'll just keep everything above board until we're out of here, and then we'll date and see what happens.'
While the episode then came to a close, Late and Live viewers were treated to the truth behind the pair's secret chat, with an audio clip showing the pair speaking during the fire evacuation earlier this week.
Rosie asked Nathan: 'I was gonna say, when we get out do you want to go to a winery? Just me and you?' and he replied: 'Yeah, of course I will.'
