[Text issue in a table in Affinity Publisher]

Please would you have a look at the attached screenshot of a table in Affinity Publisher and see if you can tell what I am missing here that the highlighted table cell is putting such a huge gap in the copy!? 9pt text with 10pt leading, no space after paragraph, even thought it's not a paragraph (there is no hard return in there), it's not locked to a baseline grid... I am SO frustrated that I can't figure this out!

I added the table by placing an Excel file and then styled the text etc. in Publisher. I am not using any style sheets for this either.
