"Bye guys!" I return, giving both of them good luck hugs as they scurry off together down to the clearing. "That's the dream team right there."

"They'll be good." Jack agrees, coming over to behind where I'm standing, and wrapping his hands around the back of my shoulders he presses a peck to the top of my head. Clasping his hands and turning myself around in his hold to face his chest, I look up at his cheeky grin.

"You know," I say. "I'm starting to fall for you all over again."

He grins, "oh yeah? Well, I never stopped."

Holly P.O.V

"Heyyyy!" Becky's voice playfully chants as she skips back to camp, with Jamie following closely behind her. "That was awful!"

"What did you have to do?" Dennis asks. For most of the afternoon, Dennis and I have been having a gentle chit chat while doing the normal chores. Being a huge football fan, being with such a legend is extremely surreal.

"It was these tomb type things, 3 of them, that we had to lay in for a certain amount of time. It was like mealworms, cockroaches, snakes,"

"But we got 11 stars!" Jamie cheers, throwing his arms in the air. Projecting myself from the log and running towards Bex to give her a huge hug, her arms wrap around me, holding me tight. Next, wrapping Jamie in a hug too, he comments, "Right, I'm gonna wash my hair in the bath. Who's gonna do the pump for me?"

"Not now you ain't," Jack laughs as he walks from the bush telegraph into the camp. He's been up there, talking to the camera about life so far and for some of the ITV2 show, but coming down the slope and running a hand through his outgrowing brown hair, he reads over the laminate.

"Celebrities, it is time for the current Prime Minister Iain and Deputy Shappi to stand down from head office because the public has been voting for a new Prime Minister."

"Awh-" Iain moans, getting up from his comfy red throne and sloping off over to his hammock.

"And the new Prime Minister is, drumroll please," he hypes up, stamping his own feet as we all clap our hands on our knees, "oh... me."

All laughing at Jack's shocked expression, in addition to having a great smile at the news he is the new Prime Minister, he reads the laminate further. "And the new Deputy Prime Minister is... Holly!"

"Yay!" I squeal, going over and hugging his side. "Let's do this!"

"Go decide the jobs then," Kez urges us with a great grin as I start to jog down the pathway. With Jack following behind me, we both decide to scurry off to the creek to decide, instead of in 10 Downing Street.

"Shall we really mess things up?" He teases, jumping down each spiky rock as we jog down the little hill to the natural lakeside. "Put Amir on cooking?"

"I wanna mix things up, but I'm not that crazy!" I laugh, sitting down with my feet beside the creek side. "I don't fancy dying from food poisoning."

"Good shout!" He laughs, giving me the chalk and blackboard. "So cooking, shall we put the normal, like, Becky and Jennie?"

"I thought Jamie wanted to do it?"

"But then who doesn't do it? Becky or Jennie?"

"I feel like Becky is the better cook but she's tired of doing it."

"So Jennie and Jamie on cooking then?" I write down. "Let's put Shappi and Iain together on cleaning?"

"That's cool." He agrees. "Washing?"

"Say, Amir, Dennis and maybe Becky?"

"Why not," he replies, "which leaves Kez and Vanessa on maintenance?"

"Great." I agree, finishing writing across the blackboard.

After revealing the news of who is doing what after heading back to camp, watching Jack take his seat on the luscious red throne, and eating the same plain lunch, we get a similar laminate to per usual, that states who is doing the next dingo dollar challenge.

"Can Holly and Kez please make their way to the dingo dollar challenge." Amir reads.

Escaping from a joint hug between Jack and Jamie, where my head is resting peacefully in Jamie's lap with my legs over Jack's side, I bounce up, shaking my hips and taking my hat off from my head, frisbeeing it at a sleeping Kez. "Kez come on!"

"Huh?" She moans when the edge of my hat crashes into my face.

"We're doing the challenge silly!" I mimic a baby voice, picking my hat back up and flipping it onto the top of my head. "Let's get going shall we?"

"Let's go." She agrees, smiling at my over emphasised hip manoeuvres.

Leaving the camp with Kez beside me while trailing the vast wobbling rope bridge, we reach the challenge with a big pool of water in front of us.

"What on earth is this?"

"I don't know, but hey, let's get going!"

All around are large inflatables, with many suitcases and other garments too. Out in the water floats a pontoon with a chair on the top, and a radio with a pair of headphones. On the shore, a board of languages and their translations.

"We are going to be crap at this!" I laugh to Kez, sliding on a life jacket and jumping in the bitter cold water.

Jack P.O.V

After about an hour of Kez and Holly leaving, the phone rings to which I watch Jamie jump up from his bed, sprinting up the small slope and answering the phone. Giving us the thumbs up, he repeats the question asked of him.

"What is the total combined age of everyone in camp? Is it A) 412, or B) 385."

"That's so close though?" Iain moans, "and why are the two that are potentially good at maths out of camp!"

"My math skills are non-existent and I don't have a clue how old people are!" I joke. "Right, start with people in the camp."

We add up the totals to 343 without Kez and Holly, so Jamie asks the question, "so how old are Kez and Holly?"

"Kez is like 35 I think?" Becky questions to which we reach the total of 378. "Jack, how old is Holly?"

"20," I say out of memory leaving us with a total of 398.

"Bang in the middle!" Dennis laughs. "So which one?"

"Go lower I think," Jamie suggests, "but I don't know."

"I'd say higher."

"Higher," Shappi agrees with me.

We all end up deciding on the higher option, and straight after the words have come out my mouth, Kiosk Keith puts the phone down.

"I think we might have it, lads and lassies!" Jamie rubs his hands together in delight, almost tripping on a rock beside the fire. "Let's just hope Holly and Kez have done us proud!"

"Can we play a game?" Vanessa asks as we wait for the two to return to camp.

"Like what?" I return a question. "Never have I ever?"

"You what?" Dennis laughs, looking over at us. "What's never have I ever?"

"Basically you say never have I ever have done something, and if you have you normally drink. But we don't have any alcohol, so we can just use water." I explain, grabbing my water bottle. "So like, never have I ever...cheated on a partner, and then if you have, then you drink."

"Oh, okay yeah let's do it!" Dennis agrees, jumping up from his position and joining all of us around the fire with our water bottles.

It's not long after we start playing that Holly and Kez join us, playing too while we share our pots of well-earned salt and vinegar crisps.
