We are back. And some of us are off to the countryside,
but this was all done very safely. We were tested, we isolated
and we followed all the rules.
Which means that we can stay at each other's houses
and not have to socially distance. That's if you fancy a sleepover
though, but do we like anyone in the other house?
Hmm. We'll see. Not yet.
Um, but anyone who's not inside the house has to keep a social
distance, which includes annoying exes and their new girlfriends.
Shouldn't they just keep a distance anyway? Totally agree.
Anyway enough of this chat, let's get down to the juicy stuff.
This programme contains strong language and adult content throughout
LAUGHTER
Party! Here we go, baby!
My best friend's ex-boyfriend, I just can't.
Our friendship's over, I'm going to walk away. So, our friendship is fully over...
Yeah, it is. I think you're a douche bag, mate.
I can't see any reason why you wouldn't become my girlfriend.
SHE GIGGLES
How's all the wedding stuff going? Who walks who down the aisle?
Is that something you think about? I think we can do what we want.
Love you all, I'll see you later.
Every time I meet him I like him more and more.
You're punching. You can't say that, that's so wrong. I can!
So rude.
You're literally the most beautiful person. No, stop it!
I'm so lucky to have you in my life. I love you so much.
Tristan and I haven't been having the best time.
A relationship is 100 - 100. I know that. You can't dip in
and dip out if and when you like.
You can kiss me now. I can kiss you now?
You had a wild night last night, by the way.
She was the love of my life.
Hi, nice to finally meet you! Zara, Tiff. Tiff, Zara.
You two clearly had something amazing
and I have to be around her, and it's just not nice!
He said like, "Tiff, you're the best thing that ever happened to me."
But you don't understand the way it was said!
You just don't need to say it in any way!
You're so embarrassing!
Just give it up!
MUSIC: I'm Coming Out by Diana Ross
Here we go, boy!
We are in for a glorious summer.
I just can't wait to get there and see everyone.
Put your foot on it, Watson. I need a large drink.
LAUGHTER
MUSIC: Put A Record On by NOISY
Are you going to behave yourself this summer, Olivia Bentley?
What on Earth do you think?
Let's go get some champagne. Let's.
Ooh, how nice is this? Mwah. It's amazing.
Freddie! LAUGHTER
Yes!
I want the grand tour. Right, let's go!
How fun.
I'm so excited. Ooh!
Have you seen it? It's such a pad. It's banging.
It's just us three as well. We're going to have so much fun.
And we're going to have so many parties.
Literally, three blondes, what could go wrong? Pause. What?
Plus one. Plus who?
I've invited my friend Paris.
Oh, my God, amazing. What? You'll love her.
Yes! She's so sweet. We're on a girls' trip.
And you'll love her as well, she's single, she's beautiful,
elegant. And this has already taken my mind off of seeing Tristan.
Yeah. I think he seems to think that I'm the dictator of you
breaking up, cos he blocked me five minutes after they ended. What?
But, anyway, I don't want to get into it because we're here,
we're excited, we're in great vibes. Yeah, but I want to have
a really great time, but I'm so apprehensive about seeing him.
I'm quite happy with our little bubble. I'm so happy. Honestly.
We couldn't think of a better group, I think.
I think we're going to have a very, very fun few weeks.
It's like two couples, isn't it? Me and Tiff, and you and Harv.
You both are, like, very in love with each other, right?
Well, I guess so. We haven't said that we love each other.
Which I think's quite weird. You haven't said that you
love each other? No! And in my head I am thinking like,
"I know he definitely..." He doesn't make me feel like
he doesn't love me. I know that he does love me,
but he just hasn't said it. Yeah.
How's the sex life?
Yeah, the sex life's still good. That's good.
We're all good in that sense, that's fine.
We've been having our, um, lockdown batteries.
You've been having your what?!
Your batteries! I didn't know what you were going to say then!
Stocking up on the batteries. Can I tell you what Tiffany did?
So, she comes... She does something in her room, rushes out
and rushes into my bedroom, closes the door,
stands there for a few minutes, and I was like, "What are you doing?"
And she was like, "Oh, seeing if you could hear my vibrator in my room."
But being single is the bollocks, I'm not even joking.
Not having to worry about anyone else is just ideal. Yeah.
But also not, like, wanting to meet anyone and just...
What's been going on with Miles? Anything?
No. It was fun, but that's done now.
OK. Oh! Hello, hello.
Oh, my goodness! Hello.
It's like Magic Mike himself.
You are ripped, by the way. Like, what?
He's got bigger boobs than me! I can't believe it.
Um, do you feel amazing? Unreal, it's the best I've ever felt.
You honestly look exceptional.
Oh, thank you, I've actually brought my trainer. Oh.
Can you not go anywhere without each other now? No, I can't. No.
I need him. You guys, it's an absolute bromance, isn't it?
No, he's a top boy.
There you go, he's a hot, single guy.
He's in the pool at the moment. Is he?
Well, listen, girls, it's been fun. I'll leave you to it.
God, I've missed you. Honestly, I... There were a lot of times
when we were, like, on lockdown, and I was really bumming out,
and I thought to myself,
"Well, it's all right, cos I bet J's in the same position."
Mate, I had... OK, so this is how bad it got at one point.
Like, we would, we'd wake up in the morning and honestly I...
You know when you wake up and your eyes are, like, half closed?
I woke up, then I looked over at Habbs, and Habbs looked
at me and went, "Oh." Oh, my God!
She honestly, like, huffed at me and I was like,
"This is just, like, not good."
But then we got over that point and it was OK.
And then it went bad again.
No, I thought... I thought before, like, being with Habbs, I was
literally like, "Perhaps soulmates don't exist." It was a lie,
everyone's lying. Everyone's lying! Yeah!
This, like, romantic Disney-style thing, it's not true.
Same probably with Zara, but meeting Habbs I'm like, "No, actually
"there is, like, true love out there,
"and there is, you know, that fricking..."
We're growing. Ha-ha-ha!
Growing, man, which is so sweet.
Hi!
Hey. Oh, hello! Oh, hey.
This is Paris. Oh, my God, you look amazing. Shut up.
Oh, by the ear, how are you? I'm Verity, lovely to meet you.
I just fully snogged you. Hello, darling, lovely to see you. Mwah.
Hello, darling! You guys look amazing. You look amazing.
Welcome! Thank you. Yeah, we got so much planned. We're going to get...
Just going to have loads of fun. Just have a huge party. I'm so happy you're here.
I'm excited. Are you a good party girl?
Oh, I think Amelia knows that one, definitely.
Why do you think we're friends? That's how we met actually, so...
That is the most important thing. Yeah, so I went to school
in Sloane Square, but now I tend to go out in either Mayfair or Chelsea.
I just can't wait to introduce you to the other house as well. I know.
Yeah, I'm excited to meet everyone.
To be fair, there's one single guy over there as well.
Yeah, that's not happening. Who's that?
That's not happening. Tristan. Oh, is this a bad egg?
Yes, a bad egg. He's not a bad egg. A poached egg.
A rotten egg. Bit scrambled. Little bit scrambled.
Oh!
Check this out.
Boosh. Is that your unique selling point?
That's how I get all the ladies. The lady, singular.
Yeah, oh, you're right...
Mate, you're off the market these days, don't forget that. I know.
Fully. It's a big change.
No, I'm bloody impressed with you, mate. You've done very well.
Yeah. I went into lockdown, and then got dumped savagely two weeks in.
Well, I haven't actually heard much about that. What...? Oh, mate.
What happened? I have absolutely no idea. I still don't really
understand what happened.
One week it was fine.
She was saying things like, "Yeah, I want to make it through this,
whatever. We'll be golden." And then, literally, got
a phone call, and she said, "I can't do this any more."
Hung up the phone and we didn't speak once.
We haven't spoken once.
Nine months, bro. That's a long relationship just to
kind of have that... That must drive you mad to, like, have left it
on that note. Thing is, I feel like... I almost feel as
if walking up to her, I'd think I was talking to a stranger.
Because you know when you think you know someone so well,
and suddenly this whole image you have of them
just comes crashing down? Yeah.
And you don't know where you stand, who they are,
and what the relationship meant. I mean, I assume
we'll see each other.
Who do you spy in the horizon?
Yeah, just keep your eyes peeled, mate.
LAUGHTER
Hey, boys. Hello.
Hello, Angel. Hi.
How are you? Good, how are you?
Good, you look beautiful. Thank you.
But, Ollie, your hair looks the best I've ever seen it.
So, it's whether I decide to stick with this or go longer,
but have you seen how grey this is now? I...
I think I'm the only person that hasn't yet gone into... I love it.
I'm gay and I'm grey, and this is hardcore.
I'm gay, I'm grey, I'm here to stay. Yeah, quite.
So, your wedding was supposed to be this winter. What's happening now?
So, theoretically meant to be in November,
but obviously we're not going to do it then now because of Covid.
We're now basically back to stage one, which is the worst.
We don't have a date.
So, what ideas exactly are you envisioning for this wedding?
Forever and ever and ever, I've always wanted this...
..wildly extravagant... Yeah.
..party with... I wouldn't have expected anything less.
..all the people that I love so much that I want to be there
from all different walks of life. That's what I really want.
I would like to see you, I don't know, being pulled in
on a lake by, like, eight swans.
Swan, hmm. No? I think no.
If you're close to a lake. I like more opera vibe. I think
the idea of an opera by a lake kind of thing, heaven.
What would you like?
At the end of the day, I just want to marry him.
Have you seen anything of Sam and Zara? Last time,
it was sort of left on a weird note?
I haven't seen her. I saw Sam a few weeks ago at a birthday we went to.
When I see him, we just catch up and get on. Yeah.
When I saw him with you,
he was literally following you around a bit.
But he's nice, like that... The funny thing is,
he apparently has told Zara that I cornered him.
OK, well, I can back you so much on this. Thank you.
I was talking to him, and then I was like, "We've been talking for
"a while." So, I was like, "I'm going to go outside." He goes, "I'll come."
I will witness this. I was standing right next to you.
How did Zara know you guys were hanging out, and how did Zara
know you spoke to each other? Well, I think obviously Melissa was there,
so I think he decided to tell her, and I don't know.
I just don't like the way it's been now twisted that I was cornering him
cos that's not the case. And I don't want her having
this perception of me that I... Yeah.
Do you know what I mean? It's not like that.
Anyway, they're not in this house, so that's nice,
and we can just have a lovely time.
You and Zara sweet? Yeah.
Yeah? No, sorry. Yeah, we're great.
Yeah? No, we are. I think we're great. I just...
There are things that, like... That happen. OK.
It's the Tiff stuff again.
You know, whenever... We've seen each other at, like, gatherings
and stuff in the park. Like, I think someone spoke about, like,
some sort of sex life, and she was like, "Oh, yeah, like,
"we had quite a fiery sex life."
And, like, things like that, right? And then she, like...
She, like, called me at 3am after we had all left.
And I don't know why I didn't pick up. I was...
Cos she was locked outside her house. Yeah, I was passed out.
Wait, wait, hang on, hang on, hang on. So, let me just get... Just quickly, just...
Recap. Let's just get this in my head.
So, hang on, she phoned you at 3am? Yeah.
But I don't know what about either cos I wasn't...
What? She wanted a story? Like, what...?
"Sorry, I can't sleep. I need a story."
That's a weird move from her. Yeah, I mean, I...
That is prime time. So, 1am call is like "where's the party at".
2am call is like you're calling for more booze.
3am is prime time booty call.
And 3am on the dot that's... You're her first call.
Mate, the fear. Oh, God.
Like, what have I done wrong? I was literally, like, if I tell Zara
this now. "Oh, by the way..."
Yeah, but the problem is - the longer you go, you go
"Oh, about a week ago..." It's like I didn't...
It's you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't.
No, I think... No, no, I think... Would I have told Habbs?
I probably would have. Just to be in the clear. Do you know what I mean?
Just to... Yeah.
Sounds like more of a thing if you don't tell her. Yeah.
That's the thing. So, I think that the fact...
But also though, J, the other side of the coin is - if I tell her,
it makes it into something bigger than it really has to be.
Cos I don't believe there's anything really deep,
and I'm sure there are, like, answers to why
those things happened.
I would love them. I would love to know.
If it was me or you, yes, it would be a booty call.
So, what did she do? Well, this is the thing.
SAM STUTTERS
I'll say it for you. It was a booty call.
♪ One, two, three, and away they go!
♪ Put your money where your mouth is
♪ Put your money where your mouth is. ♪
Brought you some lemonade.
This view, look at that. Amazing. It's so nice. Look at that view.
What do you actually think of him? Who? Charlie.
I don't, blonds really are my vibe I don't know what it is.
My friend has slept with him and she said he's really good in bed.
Really? Yeah.
I'll have to rethink.
Now that you mention it, I would probably rather date
someone more like Charlie than one of the boys we know. I know.
See I quite like a bit of rough and ready.
Yeah, you do, you love it.
Not like, "Oh, for god's sake I left the napkin on the floor."
All that crap.
Oh.
Go on, big boys.
Pool party - I have actually invited pretty much everyone.
Oh, that'll be so fun.
Including Sam and Zara.
Yay. Yay.
Um, OK.
Are you fine, is that weird?
I feel like she does not like me.
But I don't think that's from what you've done. I think that's what...
from what Sam tells her. Yeah, exactly.
You need to make that quite clear. Maybe, yeah. Exactly. Honestly.
You could say to him, "Great seeing you," he'll go back to her and go,
"Tiffany tried to kiss me at the pool party." Yeah, literally.
If he needs to go back to his girlfriend and twist it,
then he obviously feels like he's done something wrong.
She very much obviously believes
every word that comes out of Sam Thompson's trap.
Yeah, definitely. I mean, Melissa's meant to be my friend as well
so she should tell Zara what the truth is and I think it's
such an insecurity on her part if she does have such an issue with me.
Yeah. I'm just probably gonna avoid both of them.
It's just kind of ag though for you.
I'll just have some rose. I'll be fine.
Forgive me, darling, I'm afraid
you're going to have to remove your own dustsheet. Oh, good fun.
Whoops.
Oh, my gosh, this is incredible, Mark.
I'm so happy to see you. You too. At last.
It's been forever.
Well, I was trying to finish this project which evidently...
I can see. ..is not the case.
Not quite but you have made vast improvements
since the last time I was here. Well, thank God.
Tell me about this absolutely glorious fabric.
It's an 18th century fabric. OK.
And it's still woven on the original looms. Wow.
70 centimetres wide.
So how long would it take them to make one chair like this? A year.
If you're lucky.
It's like more work than a wedding dress.
Talking of wedding dresses,
I'd rather think of this ceiling as a wedding cake.
I think it's a total reflection of you and your personality.
I think you're right. Yeah.
And English building with Italian sculpture and French ornamentation.
Other than this, which clearly must've been taking up
quite a great deal of your time, what have you been getting up to?
Darling, I've been entertaining at home.
Deliveroo? Oh, my god.
Ordering food? Take out?
If there is one thing I vow I shall never do until the day I die
and possibly on the day I die, I shall die as a result of it.
And the sort of people who order that sort of food
don't even put it on a plate.
They eat it straight from that little plastic... Out of the box.
..tray. That is revolting.
I personally do order takeaway.
Please leave.
Sam loves me in a hat, don't you? She does love a hat.
Yeah, the hat looks good. I love a hat.
When we were on holiday, Sam was trying to compete
and he was trying to wear a tweed hat. Was it a tweed hat?
Didn't work. He just looked like a farmer. No hats fit me.
Like, every hat I ever wear goes over my ears.
And it literally like comes down to here, doesn't work.
You look great, though. Thank you.
I've noticed you've got an S on your necklace there.
I think it's sweet. Did Sam get you that or did you get that?
I bought it myself. You got your own necklace with an S on.
She tagged herself. That's dedication.
That's like putting your photo up on Instagram and liking it yourself.
Literally.
No, mate, lockdown was the best thing
that ever happened to us, I think. I agree.
No, I see it. You guys look quite comfortable.
I dunno, I guess I... with the whole Tiff thing that
happened, I think, during that time I was in a bit... Oh, Tiff.
Is it still a forbidden name in the household? No.
Of Thompson and Zara?
I know you guys saw her a few times
at a couple of gatherings that I didn't go to.
I think there are things that she shouldn't technically be doing,
like when we're at the gathering, she's like, "Is Zara the one?"
and then she's talking about her sex life and in my head I'm like...
What? Did she talk about her sex life? What did she say? Yes, no.
Whose sex life? Your sex life? Sorry. What did she say?
Basically, when she was asking whether you're the one and stuff...
Yeah. Someone else said something and she was like,
"Yeah, me and Sam, we had a pretty, pretty fiery sex life," like that.
Which, which, which is borderline. That's so inappropriate.
Yeah, it is, you're right. Did you tell her? No.
Is this not the same night that she texted you and said, "It was lovely
"to see you, I would've loved to spend more time with you tonight"?
Yeah, she said that she feels like she missed out on two years
of my life and stuff, but I think that's more of a friend thing.
No, it's not, Sam. That's stupid for me to say.
No, I agree, I agree, I agree. No, wait, listen.
If I didn't know anyone in this situation, it was black and white,
I would say, Oh, classic case of the ex still fancying the ex."
I would as well. But I don't think she fancies me or wants to get
back with me, I don't think those things are true.
I think that she thinks you probably don't like her and thereby doesn't
like you and I think that she's quite enjoys being the other girl.
It's just not how I would ever personally behave.
Tiff's daddy bought her a lot of things
but clearly didn't buy her morals.
HE COUGHS
I think I call her mate sometimes because, like, she is a mate.
She's been my best friend through lockdown.
Oh, sorry, we're just friends. We're lockdown buddies.
Oh, my God.
Quarantings. Quaranting.
Quarantings. Nah.
I don't know if I should be offended or not,
cos I feel, like, are we best friends or are we actually...?
No, but when I say mate, it's not you're just my mate...
Best friend is the best way to be in a relationship.
Well, we'll see.
Sink that and shut up.
I might go get another bottle of red for all of us. Please do.
OK, I'll be back in a bit.
Bring just one straw.
Oh, I'm so happy you guys are all here together,
like having my longest friend... Huh, you were about to say oldest.
I was about to say the oldest. Cheeky!
And best friend here is like such a nice touch.
Your boyfriend and your girlfriend.
Yeah, so can you just keep your hands to yourself, yeah?
What do you mean? You two.
We couldn't be polar opposite if we tried.
He goes to the gym every day, I go to Raffles every day.
We're going to the gym tomorrow Liv.
What gym?
A little PT one-on-one session.
Sam, you're making me feel awkward now. Burpees, some press-ups.
No, Charlie, you've got me all wrong here.
I don't wanna work out. You don't wanna do a workout?
I know I need but I don't want to.
You don't need to, it'd just be fun, wouldn't it?
I genuinely never heard the words gym and fun in the same sentence.
Because you haven't had a session with me, that's why.
Ooh, here we go. There you go. Lower body work out. Full body.
I feel like we're really making the most of it out here, to be fair.
I agree. I'm also very peckish, so I'm gonna go get some nibbles.
Ooh, yes, please. I think that's a good idea for Verity.
Ciao. Hold on, so tell me a bit more about yourself.
Yeah, what about your love life?
Um, I'm single now but I was dating earlier in the year.
I think it was for the better for sure that we broke up.
It sort of liked trained me to realise what I do like
and what I don't like and to... You've learnt from it.
Go on, what is your type?
Um, yeah, personality, someone who's outgoing, funny,
but also outgoing but not overpowering towards other
people, you know, lets other people talk.
And physically...
I'm listening.
I don't wanna boost your ego any more.
Come on, I wanna hear this.
Long hair, blond and light eyes.
Right, so you're either talking about Amelia and me or Freddie.
Um, I actually might check on Amelia
and see if she's got those nibbles she was talking about.
She's probably facetiming her boyfriend.
Nibbles means facetiming her boyfriend. Oh, I'll go join her.
Well, we know now. Right, I'll see you guys in a bit.
See you in a bit, Paris.
Yeah, I think she fancies you. She just described you.
What the fuck do I do in this situation? Play it cool.
Yeah, that's what I'm trying to do.
Also she might not have been describing you.
She's describing like someone who looks like you. Yeah, yeah.
Oh, my God, literally exactly like you but not you.
Oh, my God. Well, I'm glad we've got another team-mate.
Another one to add to the rat pack.
I think we're having more fun than the other house.
I don't know why this is so on my mind,
but I just wanna make sure that we're having more fun.
It seems like it's quite present for you.
I mean, I don't wanna bring up the T word but...
Yeah, no, look last time I spoke to him was
when we basically broke up on the phone.
What was your reasoning behind that?
Just... Can you see from knowing both of us quite well
that there is quite a fundamental difference in our personalities?
He's scheduled a morning and an evening call every day.
I'm seeing a fundamental difference just there.
The word "schedule" I don't think really fits
into Verity's dictionary. I don't have a schedule at all.
We'd have an hour on the phone and every hour I'd end up crying.
And it got really sad because the relationship
that we had that was so amazing and the guy that I was fully in
love with it, it just got completely lost and it was really sad.
No, I don't blame you at all and I think you definitely did
the right thing there. Yeah.
But it was never gonna be an easy thing
and it still won't be an easy thing.
Slightly worried that when I see him that feelings might come back
because, yeah, we broke up with each other but that doesn't mean
you just fall out of love with each other like that. Hmm.
And that's quite scary.
Amelia just sent me a photo of some girl I do not know and Freddie.
She looks hot. Ah, that's Paris. She's cute.
Is this Freddie's future girlfriend? No, I think it's just a friend.
Do you reckon we invite them round? Tomorrow?
So you're gonna invite Freddie and Paris and Amelia and Verity.
No, I'm inviting just Freddie and Paris for now. I'm in.
Are you down? Get Freddie and Paris over.
And that, Tristan, for you? I recognise one of them.
That's the first time I've seen her in six months.
God, you haven't seen each other since you broke up?
I think that you're gonna be quite surprised when you see her.
I think it's gonna throw you back. Do you think? Big time, yeah.
Whoo!
Bravissimo!
Bravo. I love it, Fred.
Sophie, that was just for you.
OK, I'm coming up.
I mean... Hello!
Whoa-ho, beard!
Wow! I mean...
That's the first thing you...?
I've just given you gold. The first thing you can say is about my beard?
I'm sorry, but it's looking right at me.
Look, I know you think I'm more attractive with a beard, I get it.
I can't. And thank you. Thank you.
Does the carpet match the drapes?
Oh, God.
Anyway, no, more importantly, I'm so glad you liked that song.
I honestly really, really love the song.
OK. You're locked down.
I know that a certain lady is quite uh, sexual.
You're very...
And how did you cope with the social distancing?
I have my favourite toys on constant rotation on charge,
so that's basically...
Bugs Bunny.
That answer - done. OK.
Did you get any action, most importantly?
In my family house, you'll be happy to know I didn't.
So, I ran into uh, Ollie and Gareth the other day
and me and the boys were talking about wedding ideas,
now that there's so much time left, right? Mm-hm.
Ollie obviously wants a huge wedding
and we were discussing all of these ideas.
I suggested swans - right on brand.
Gareth looked a bit like...
He wasn't sure whether I'm like serious or not.
Yeah. OK, so are you the person that's basically
just pumping up Ollie with these crazy ideas
and then you've got Gareth being like, "Really?"
Yeah, but you should never ask the single girl.
it's just like...as if somebody let me just run wild...
Yeah. ..for my ideal gay wedding,
and I just put it all in there.
I just want both of them to have their dream wedding.
Let's hope I'm still invited after that.
After the golden swan suggestion? I dunno.
Hey, Janey, it's so good to see you.
Lovely to see you, sweetheart.
Yeah, you too. You look really well.
Thank you. Well, I don't feel bad.
Tell me about you, lovely.
Well, we're trying to plan the wedding and do all of that.
Be interesting to get your point of view on this, actually,
because I feel like all Ollie seems to do is keep talking about
the big wedding and getting excited by it,
which, obviously with everything going on, is near impossible.
Like, for me I just want to be married.
Why don't you just arrange something really stylish and small
and gorgeous? Yeah.
And get married without all the bells and whistles
and then save that for next year?
You'll know that you're married, so you'll feel happy about that,
but you'll also have another thing to look forward to and plan for
in the knowledge that it's going to be more of a celebration again
and a party.
But I don't want him to feel let down that he's not going to get...
the big wedding as the whole thing.
I don't think he'd feel let down.
Bearing in mind that you're planning to share the rest of your life
with this man, but you have to be able to communicate without fear...
Yeah.
And say to him, "This is what I would really like." Yeah.
Yeah, do it, darling, and let me know when you have and how it's going.
OK, well, hopefully can see you soon.
Actually in face to face. I'd love that.
Lots of love. I'll speak to you later.
Love you. Bye-bye, darling. Bye-bye.
We haven't actually been able to speak girl to girl, have we?
I know. We've been out. We've always been with everybody else and the boys.
I know, yeah. They've always got to be lurking about somewhere,
don't they? They're never far.
How have you found the whole Tiff thing since lockdown?
Cos I know that there was actually like an overlap,
I thought that would all die down.
It went a bit crazy. She's been wanting to meet up with him a lot.
Been texting him a lot.
Yeah, I just don't... I really... That's such an odd move.
But...wait for it. So, this shocked me the other day that Sam told me.
They're at this gathering together. I was there, yeah.
So she comes up to him and she goes,
"Sam, our sex life was fiery, wasn't it?"
I did not know that part!
Are you fucking joking? I didn't know that either.
Sam was just like, "Ha-ha-ha."
And I felt really awkward about it.
But how weird. Ugh, no, that's so creepsville.
If Harry's ex went up to him and said that,
I would literally vomit in my mouth.
What gives her the right to bring up their sex life from four years ago?
You know when it's like you want to have a one-up on the new girlfriend?
I think that's what it is, yeah.
I think there's something maybe a bit bitter and jealous going on.
I mean, it's just so weird. I don't know what to say about it.
Like there's no justifying any of the behaviour.
There just isn't. No. That is my opinion.
I feel like it's gone on for so long now
and I think you probably need to say to Sam, "I think that you shouldn't speak to her."
Whoops, there you go. Give Harvey that one.
What's going on here? Oh, hello. Here he is.
How are you guys? Nice drink for you. Ooh, hello.
Ah, thank you, madame.
Well, last night was fun.
Did we send it? We kind of did. Yeah, it was good. I think we did.
I had fun.
Mate.
Oh! I knew he'd be wearing...
Freddie! How are you, buddy? Hey. Hello. Hi. You've got a friend.
Hi. Hello, hello. This is Paris. It's nice to meet you, Paris. Harvey.
Guys, this view is insane. Only made better by you.
Ah, I love the fact that you guys have come like colour-coordinated.
Oh, yeah. I mean, it wasn't planned, to be honest.
It wasn't planned. It matches the table.
I reckon Freddie saw your outfit... "I want to be dressed in green." "I want a bit of that."
Paris walked into my room and I was like, "Look at my only linen shirt that is green."
The others are burning in the corner!
You've definitely not got one linen shirt.
You're a man of many linen shirts. Yeah.
Oh, well, it's lovely to see you guys. Lovely to meet you.
Thanks for coming down. So glad you've got a pool. I've heard stuff about you.
Have you? Yeah. Oh. But I was told to make my own decision, so...
Please do. I'm a really nice guy, promise.
Yeah, we'll see.
Yeah, he's a good guy, he's a good guy.
What about you, Paris? Are you single, in a relationship?
I broke up with my boyfriend during isolation too,
so you're not like on your own there.
Um, and now I'm single, happy being, you know, with myself,
but if someone came along and made me happier,
obviously I'm not going to deny myself happiness.
Well, we've got lots of nice single men, not that I'm, you know...
Are you the...? I don't know what I'm doing.
Single man, introduce yourself. Yeah!
Um, but we're having a pool party tomorrow,
so it'll be nice for you to meet everyone.
Yeah, I'm excited. Yeah. It's gonna be fun.
Hey, girls. Hey.
Hello. Hi. How are we doing?
Never too far away, are you?
Course not.
Hello, buttercup.
Jesus, Sam. Sorry.
Smothering her. Sorry. It is how I show love.
It's really weird. It is. He's very like...
If I'm tactile...you know that I'm in a good mood.
Zara's just telling me some outrageous things about Tiffany.
Oh, God. What? What's happened?
"Our sex life was so fiery, Sam."
No, no, I can't believe...
Wait, she said that? To you?
It wasn't like that. It was. She said that to you?
No, it wasn't. You're overegging that. No, she said that to Sam.
And did you say, "I think that's a bit disrespectful"?
But why...? I didn't... I think I was like, "Ha-ha," and went....
Sam... The next time something like that happens...
Absolutely. ..be like, "Why would you say that?"
Absolutely. She did call me at 3am after that night.
Wait, did you have a conversation on the phone? Yeah. No.
What? I'm joking. Oh, my God.
Why do all these things keep coming up?
Because I know if I tell you, you get really ag,
like all the other stuff, and I just can't be bothered.
If my ex was calling me at 3am, I'd be like...
I didn't even pick up. I didn't.
No, no, no, but I just need... I need to know what's happened,
so if I go and speak to her... Why is she calling you at 3am?
Why the fuck is she calling you at 3am? I don't know.
I can't believe she did that. Yeah, that is mental.
That is a booty call. What the fuck? That's a booty call.
She booty-called you. It's so... But it's mental, cos it's Tiff.
That's why it's mental. Yeah, I know. I just don't get it.
Like, what the f...?
Well, this looks amazing.
Made one of your favourites, snails.
I love snails.
Yeah, you wouldn't believe the mission I've been on for this.
Haven't had snails in ages.
They're very good. Well done.
Did you make all this?
I'm very talented. Uh, so I didn't tell you,
but I had a catch-up with Janey the other day. Ah, that's so nice.
Um, but it was interesting, actually,
because I was speaking to her about...
Obviously, you want the really big wedding.
We still don't know whether we're gonna be able to do that
and I'm a bit frustrated that we've been engaged two years now.
Yeah, I know.
And I would like to discuss the idea
of maybe doing the wedding sooner
and doing something a bit more smaller, like chic, intimate.
Just, I'm ready to be married to you, Ol.
I don't want to wait until next year. I feel like we're trying
to square-peg round hole to try and get
the big...pull the big wedding off. It's so impractical at the moment.
But I really want that big wedding,
and I worry that if we do it beforehand, we're not gonna be...
Everyone's gonna be, "It's just like a celebration."
I know, I agree, and I think it's how we handle it.
But like my... Also, how on earth do we pick that amount of people?
If you want a... No, I know. With 20 people...
For starters, we have our family. We've gotta do that.
Then we've got kind of a Binky, a Toff, a Liv.
All these people that are essential.
I just... I want... I want it to be spectacular.
And I... So do I, but I'm... I want it to be realistic,
and I don't know what... I'm worried that it's...
I would rather wait for it to be spectacular than be realistic.
I don't want a realistic wedding.
OK.
I want to show that a gay marriage can be absolutely identical
to any other marriage
and people celebrate it as much as anything else.
That's what's important to me and you.
So that's where I'm lying when it comes to a big wedding.
I know, I know. Look, and I feel all that too.
I just feel like I'm ready to be married to you now, and it's like...
I'm not frus... I'm just frustrated at the situation.
Like, it's just... I mean, there's so many things... I just... I-I..
OK.
It's a discussion I think to have.
But I just... I...
I know what I've always wanted
and I need to try and just process it slightly, I think.
OK.
Fine.
Have you spoken to Tristan today?
No, I haven't even seen him. I keep like glancing over
and then I think we caught eyes and just had to look down.
Oh, God! Like, I just... I feel sick and I feel...
Oh, I hate that. I so know how you feel. I've had it before.
It's the worst.
You been struggling to keep two metres away from other people here?
Obviously, I... There's a couple of fellas...
I genuinely keep two metres away from everyone anyway, don't I?
Hey, guys. Hello. Here she is. Hi.
You were gonna try and high-five her.
OK, cool.
It's annoying we've all got to be two metres away but...
I think it's actually beneficial. Probably a good thing.
You might tell your girlfriend that I was cornering you again.
Oh, wow. Yeah.
Explain.
You know at that birthday we went to? Yes.
Apparently you told Zara I cornered you.
I never said cornered. What did you say? Said we had a chat. OK.
Said we had a chat and I said that it got slightly...
..deep... Yeah, it did get deep.
And it's... I think that was down to the amount of alcohol
we probably had that night. I agree.
But I think that there are certain things which don't help the matter.
For example, you can't say, "We had a fiery sex life."
You and me? Yeah, you said that. No, I did not.
Yes, you did. I remember you saying it.
I said we had a fiery sex life?
Yes, you went, "We didn't have a bad sex life, did we?"
And I was like, "Well, fucking..." That's not fiery.
And then you called me at like 3am after we went to that party.
I under... I'm not saying ÷that you wanted to shag me.
It just annoys... Yeah. I'm saying that it...
Really? Cos I've heard she is saying that. Yeah, but why would she not?
Because... Sorry? No, because if you hear that
the ex-person has called someone at 3am after a party...
OK, so you think that.
I don't know, I don't know. I don't know why... I don't.
I wanted to carry on the party. I was like, "Let me call round,
"see what everyone's doing, if everyone's gone to another party."
Hi, Zara. Hi, you all right? Yeah, good. How are you?
Good, thanks.
OK.
I mean, I'm just... I'm just a punching bag.
No, you're not. Don't play this victim crap.
There's obviously a conversation that needs to take place
between the two of you.
Well, that was two things like, big things for me,
that I've been told... Yeah.
..that you, one, said like yours and Sam's sex life was really fiery.
Yeah, and we just spoke about that.
Yeah, but do you not think that's weird to say that?
Well, no, because it's been taken out of... To your ex?
It's been taken of context. Second, did you not call him
at three o'clock in the morning? I called everyone that night.
I wanted to continue the night.
I just feel like I'm getting all the blame. It's so annoying.
But why don't you just stand there like I'm standing here?
I'm not gonna take the blame,
because I don't feel like I am doing anything wrong.
But why can't you just fucking say to Zara,
"Do you know? I'm sorry for calling your boyfriend at 3am"?
No, because everything I say gets twisted!
You just don't like being in the wrong.
You know what, let's just resolve this.
I'll never speak to you again and this is perfect. Done. Awesome.
See you later. Maybe you should leave. It's sad this had to happen.
Can you actually leave, so I can talk to Zara?
Liv, you're not involved. I'm deadly serious...
No. No-one needs to hear what you say to Zara.
No-one needs to hear. Why? Are you fucking joking?
No, do you wanna hear it?
I like Zara. She's standing there upset.
You don't give a shit about Zara. How fucking dare you! Zara...
You don't care about her at all. Sam, you're losing...
You're a fucking little shit. Get the fuck out of this house now!
You don't care... Get out! I just told the truth.
Get out of this house. You're a fucking joke. You can fuck yourself.
You go fuck yourself! Oh, God.
Zara, I am so sorry I just did that.
Holy shit.
Is that...?
Yeah, I think I'll leave you to it.
Leave you to it. You got this, bro. Cheers.
Hey. Hi.
How you doing? I'm good. How are you?
Um, yeah, I'm all right.
Are you well?
Yeah, I'm good, V. You're looking good.
Thanks. So are you.
Thanks.
This is... This is... I mean, I've... ..strange.
Yeah, this is really weird.
I don't really know...
I don't know how I feel about the whole thing, to be honest.
Well, how do you feel?
You don't know? I've got absolutely no idea.
I was fine, and now, you know, obviously it's like...it's different
when you see someone for the first time in a long time.
I mean, I don't expect an explanation per se
but I couldn't really get my head around it for a while.
It was just... Every time we were on the phone
I'd end up crying in tears
and I was just so overwhelmed by what was going on
I just checked out. Our relationship wasn't our relationship any more,
it was something completely different. I think it's...
It wasn't nice. It wasn't something that I wanted to be a part of and...
Well, there you go. It was just horrible.
I was crying all the time.
I guess some people walk away from things
and some people try and figure it out.
I'm probably someone who maybe holds on to something when I probably shouldn't. Too much.
And you're maybe someone who walks away when the going gets tough.
I think... Yeah.
Hmm.
But I feel like once I did break up with you, I think I was happier.
And were you happy after that as well?
I was ecstatic.
No, as in, like, as a person.
Yeah. No, I'm amazing now. I feel great, V.
But I don't like the way it ended.
I was in love with you 100%
and then suddenly you fall out of love with someone
because they've made the decision that you're not meant
to be together, and that's a really difficult process.
Like, when do you stop loving someone, like, after a break-up?
I still haven't really come to terms with that.
But obviously feelings don't really go away overnight, do they?
It's weird, V, to see you.
It is strange. Um..
But we've got like a whole summer together.
Yeah, we do.
Are we gonna be friends?
We'll see how it goes. Yeah, I... V, I dunno.
Like...
I just think maybe let's just respect each other and...
Yeah, I agree.
And then I think go from there.
I hold my hands up
and I understand why you thinking me messaging him
asking to meet up and stuff, I get why it's like,
it is disrespectful to you.
I think it is.
But I think if you and me had had a conversation a long time ago
like none of this would've got so escalated.
And there's people going between and it's just all getting twisted
and it annoys me.
Out of the group that we are all friends with,
who backs Tiffany or who says things against her?
Do you know what I mean? Like, if Melissa came to you
and said, "Listen, Tiff is so not like that.
"Don't believe a word of it,"
I don't think you would've had such a problem.
What I respect about Melissa is she was in agreement with me
and had been... This is so weird, because when she speaks to me,
it's like she's in agreement with me. Right.
She's a shit friend. Clearly. To both of you.
Clearly.
She sent Tiffany a voice note saying that you're a fame-hungry whore.
What?
On my life, she said that.
Yeah.
So play it. Play it.
No. Where's your phone? She won't believe you otherwise.
Get it. Sorry. Oh, God.
This, by the way, Zara, this is what your supposed best mate says.
VOICE NOTE: You are joking.
Oh!
MELISSA LAUGHS ON VOICE NOTE
Hey, she's a little fame whore, isn't she?
I don't wanna say it, but I have a feeling.
Oh, sorry. I have a feeling...
Oh, my...
..that that might be the case.
Melissa, you're so high-end.
Calling someone a fame-hungry whore - what?!
Yeah.
This is someone supposed to be one of your best friends...
They should never say something like that about you
behind your back. No. Ever. No.
I think you should just be very careful with who you trust
and who you don't.
Liv said Melissa called you a fame whore.
What?!
She played me a voice note, Melissa.
I'm so fucking sorry for ever saying anything like that.
Everyone's just so fucking bitchy round here. It's horrible.
She wasn't slagging her off.
So why did she say it?
You can't retract the conversation, because Tiff's deleted it.
So she has unsent every message that she's ever sent to me,
anything about Zara.
Some of my replies are like, "Oh, my God, no way, really?"
And there's nothing from that? There's just nothing from her.
What's happening actually with the wedding?
Gareth wants this kind of small thing. I'd like it to be insane,
but Gareth definitely needs to remember who he's marrying.
Are you two single?
I mean, I am, yes.
Charlie and Sam didn't come home.
I feel quite vulnerable in the whole situation.
Yeah, obviously, she is an attractive girl. Mate, I loved her.
Tristan, I do think you have to remember
we broke up quite a long time ago now.
Fuck this, I'm not sitting here listening to this.
Whatever, Charlie. "Whatever, Charlie"? What is that? Grow up.
