This is the moment that could break Home And Away fans’ hearts.
Nikau this week pashes modelling partner Allegra at a shoot – as his girlfriend Bella watches on in horror.
From the start, Nikau (Kawakawa Fox-Reo) has been reluctant to really embrace the world of modelling.
Truth is, it’s Bella (Courtney Miller) who has encouraged her boyfriend to give it a go. But her words may have come back to bite her this week.
We pick things up at a modelling shoot in Summer Bay. When Nikau finds it hard to focus, Bella, an assistant for the day, offers to help.
But modelling agent Sienna (Rose Riley) directs Nikau and Allegra (Laura McDonald) closer and closer together.
“Nikau’s completely overwhelmed by Allegra’s confidence as he only wishes he could be in the moment and pose like she does,” Kawakawa, 23, tells TV WEEK.
As Bella watches them, it’s obvious she’s uncomfortable seeing Allegra with Nikau. And he feels the same, knowing Bella is there.
Sensing this, wily Sienna sends Bella to do a coffee run to get her away from Nikau.
While Nikau finds his groove, Sienna is not completely satisfied the shoot is sexy enough. When Niaku is out of earshot, she hatches a sneaky plan with Allegra…
Just as Bella returns, laden with the coffees, she spies Allegra passionately kissing Nikau. Oh, no!
“Nikau is completely shocked by the kiss,” Kawakawa explains. “He did not see it coming and it takes him by surprise. And then, on the top of that, he realises Bella has seen them kiss.
“So, it’s all a bit too much for him and he’s worried how Bella is feeling.
Shocked by the sight of the two of them locking lips, Bella flees the shoot. Nikau tells Sienna the shoot is over and takes off after Bella.
Can he repair the damage?
