"I feel like I just watched my daughter walk out onto the train tracks and there is a bullet train coming for her, and I can't scream to her, I can't grab her from the tracks," she said before starting to cry, adding: "I thought I could hold it together."

Leslie went on: "I am really disappointed, and I'm sure there are many of you that are as well. I felt like at one point she really woke up and was like 'I'm done.' I feel like him doing this sneaky come to the terrace thing before the recoupling is another really calculated move to keep him in the villa."

She goes on to say that Toni is "smarter than this" and has "more pride than this", but adds that she "doesn't know what is happening in that villa."

"I am devastated by this decision that she has made," Leslie also says in the heartbreaking video, before going on to show her sadness over what Cach has been put through: "I've devastated that Cach was so hurt in this and that she blew her chance with a really good guy, who would have treated her with respect."

Leslie said that she has witnessed some people making comments that this could be a "comeback story" for Harrison, however, she is struggling to believe it.

"I'm all for a comeback story, but I just don't believe it," she said: "The way he's been moving, that's him - am I wrong?"

Speaking of the moment she found out that Toni had picked Harrison, Leslie explained that she and her husband were watching while sat on the sofa and that "the silence was defining when she made her decision."

Appearing fatigued by the situation, Leslie asked: "Someone give me a best case scenario after this episode because I've got nothing," before saying: "If Toni came home now, I'd be ok with it at this point."
