Jess refused to speak as Maya questioned the foursome, including Molly’s partner Tom Clare, about the unusual result which saw the two long-term exes reach the final of the first series of All Stars.
Speaking about Molly and Callum’s exes getting back together on the show, Jess replied: “Obviously when I first heard I was very shocked by it.
“And I thought, is there something I’ve overlooked? I didn’t want to be naive.
“I was afraid that if Callum and Molly were this ‘love story’ and I was standing in their way, they would perceive me as very bad.
“So I was a bit nervous about the whole thing. But Callum was very reassuring and put him to bed quickly.
“So it was smooth sailing after that.”
Callum also reassured Jess as the pair spoke to Indiyah Polack on The Morning After podcast.
“Yeah, even after the first week or two we were friends. And to be honest, I’m glad we kind of established that friendship,” Callum said of Molly after Monday’s final.
“I know people may have seen beyond friendship because they wanted a fairy tale, but sometimes that doesn’t happen.”
Fans didn’t want to give up on the idea of ex-couple Callum and Molly getting back together, especially after they were seen cooking breakfast together in the kitchen.

But Callum added: “Life is too short, it takes more energy to be mean to someone, to be negative, than to get on with life. Life goes on.”
Jess’ remarks came shortly after an interview during the finale.
But viewers were shocked that Jess remained silent and didn’t answer questions, as they claimed the focus was on Molly and Callum.
One person moaned during Monday’s finale: “Why didn’t they even let Jess speak?!!!! Wow, that’s just rude.”
Another fumed at Xu, formerly of Twitter: “Poor Jess. I’d be pissed after that interview, she’s there with Callum talking about Molly and Callum. It had to be mentioned but seriously, it was an interview with Molly and Callum and not 2 different pairs.”
Another reacted: “Are Jess and Tom allowed to speak? They’re giving repeat members.”
Others thanked Maya and insisted that she talk to the couples as “one of us” and ask everyone questions.
In one incredible reality TV moment, she exposed Tom.
She asked “is it weird?” and revealed that Callum had helped him pick out Molly’s Valentine’s present.
Tom was previously accused of “recycling” the same talking points from his first time in the villa last year, with some of Molly’s fans previously accusing him of “using” her to reach the final.
He ended up winning the series with Molly, while ex Callum finished second with Jess.
