changed tact and started befriending Moira and pitched her an idea for the farm&#8217;s next revenue stream \u2013 supplying a local spa hotel with meat.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"18\" class=\"css-jjeyh9 emevuu60\">While Celia has always seemed on the sketchy side, tonight (<strong data-node-id=\"18.1\">Tuesday, 19 August<\/strong>) the true extent of her underhandedness was revealed. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"20\" class=\"css-jjeyh9 emevuu60\">Tonight, Celia paid Moria a visit on the farm to tell her that the spa loved their products so much and want more, though Moria is still waiting for payment from their first delivery. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"22\" class=\"css-jjeyh9

class=\"css-jjeyh9 emevuu60\">However later that day Celia visited Moria again, telling her the hotel had rejected their latest delivery because the chef felt the products were overpriced.

meaning they could just sever ties, leaving Moira having to write off thousands of pounds. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"29\" class=\"css-jjeyh9 emevuu60\">After phoning the hotel, Celia managed to get them to pay half of what they owe, with Celia offering the full amount to Moira. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"31\" class=\"css-jjeyh9
