It's happened so much this series... it's really bad editing and story telling on their part tbh. They could have easily been showing this all to dilute the recent JJJ overdose.

anyone who watches LF and is half switched on has been seeing this build. People who just watch the LF must have been just left standing asking wtf happened.
Good call and well explained!
I tend to praise BBUK for decent editing (compare to the contrived USA or other Reality Telly),
but,
yes, this time they are being very weird with Steve's editing. There was much more 'build up' and story behind it all,
yet,
as we see here - by 'shoehorning' it into the mix it appears 'awkward' and inexplicable IF you just saw the HLs

I also noticed this with the 'Perv Steve' editing which has certainly worked well to get the big teenage girl demo worked up here,
but,
I noticed the full ongoing dynamic was far more 'give and take' and was building up and into off-colour joking or sexual inuendos,
yet,
that 'shoehorned' editing had Steve appear to just come out of nowhere (or having just squabbled with her) to dropping a sexual innuendo at her,
or,
suddenly (it appears) he is wrestling with her.
The editing made it 'appear' that he just dropped these at completely surprising and inappropriate and awkward moments.

Anyways.. I'm not even trying to make some big defense of Steve or being a big Steve fan,
but,
you are correct that the strange editing did him no service and has led to confused viewers I think.
