It's clear to anyone watching this year's season that the office romance of Natasha Webb and Dave White hit a bumpy patch. During Episode 3, Natasha reveals that she had previously cheated on a long-term companion with Chef Dave before entering into a new relationship with him, stating that she was not proud of her behavior. The tension between the two grew as they attempted to hide their liaison from the ever-suspecting crew — but even after the relationship was established, the troubles didn't stop. As the relationship became more fraught, Dave sent a number of derogatory texts to Natasha and threatened to tell the whole crew about the relationship.

During our conversation with Dave, he revealed that the tension shown was not merely for the cameras; the stress was very real and affected his work. "It definitely made it a lot tougher for me. It was affecting my sleep ... I'd always make three different types [of bread] every morning, so I was always up early. That was affecting me mentally. I guess [the tensions were] affecting my work." This may indeed be the understatement of the century, since at the end of Episode 5, Captain Sandy threatens to fire him if the behavior continues.
