Jade needs a friend at the moment and Jonny is being just that.
He probably remembers and appreciates how she helped him out of his blues with the information she gave him about the others claiming he performs for the cameras.
I was disappointed in Alex the way he is now impatient with Jade even though all she wanted to talk about was his geographical experiences. I think she just wanted to try and learn. But when her back was turned he showed such rude frustration about having to talk to her.
Alex and Tim complain about Jades gossiping and yet they are doing exactly the same thing.
