# The only way is up, baby

# For you and me now

# Ooh, ooh, ooh. #

# Hold on, so long

# Afraid to let go of the past... #

Hey. Thanks for coming.

I'm shocked he's turned up. I thought they weren't getting on.

Listen, it's, like, no skin off my nose,

but I did see Dan, Diags and Jodie.

They were, like, double dating.

But Dan's been lying to me.

Cos he told me nothing's true. Yeah, well, there you go.

There weren't no double date, nothing.

You've just dropped a bomb there without even realising.

# I know this is where I belong

# Out of the dark. #

Angel! You OK? Yeah. I'm gonna go home.

Oh, are you going? Yeah.

I don't wanna feel like I've upset anyone,

and I want Ella to have a good birthday, so I think I'm gonna go.

Are you sure? Yeah. But have a lovely night.

Have fun in Ibiza. I'll pass on the message.

All right? Yeah. See you later.

All right, love you. Bye.

See you later, bubs. Going.

All right. Erm...

Laters, Jode. Bye.

SOFTLY: She's going. Sorry?

Jodie's going. Jodie's going? Yeah.

Well, she obviously knows something that I don't know, don't she?

She must feel awkward being here,

cos she's obviously holding information.

Why, what happened? Harry said that they all went out.

Yeah, Harry basically said that Jodie, Diags, Dan and this new bird,

they all went on a... double date. Oh.

And then she's come to your party? Yeah.

But Dan's been lying to me...

..saying that there's no truth in any of it.

I think she just feels, maybe, a bit awkward. I dunno.

Yeah, because she obviously knows

that she's been sitting over the table to my ex's new bird.

Then you've come to my birthday.

Mm. Why come?

Have youse really spoke to her? No, not really.

I wouldn't go.

Nah. It's not a girls-girls thing.

If that was me, I'd say, "Listen, it's true." Yeah.

"I've sat over a dinner table to him.

"Don't listen to him, he's fucking lying to you."

If it was the other way round, you would've...

Said something to her. Said something.

100%, I wouldn't be able to keep that...

I wouldn't have even waited to see her to say it.

I mean, I'm not gonna lie, I'm a bit surprised.

But do you know what's happened? I've heard.

She said just now whilst we were here...

She feels very awkward. Very awkward, and obviously...

Why does she feel awkward? Cos she says that she...

Cos she realises the penny's dropped?

No, I think she was saying, like... Obviously, with Diags,

she feels like she has to go to everything that he goes to

because they're together. I literally just said that.

So, she also just said now, like, "I really like Dan,"

so it's awkward for her to be in a situation like that.

Fucking hell, you really like Dan, but then in the next breath,

you're sitting opposite me when we all went for dinner the other day,

telling me that I can do better than him, he ain't got shit on me,

he can't give me what I want, he ain't a geezer.

James and Jodie have both sat there and said to me,

"Dan doesn't know how to be a boyfriend."

Mm. And now you "really like Dan"?

I completely get where you're coming from,

and obviously, what she's saying, she says that she's with Diags,

and around the situation,

which isn't fair, still, Ella, do you know what I mean?

It's not nice for you. Oh, Ell!

This is your birthday - don't get upset, come on.

I think you need to remind yourself of the reasons why it didn't work

and the reasons why you didn't wanna be with him,

and that is because he can't give you what you want, anyway.

Obviously, it's gonna throw you.

It's not fair for you to cry on your birthday. Of all days to find out.

No, I feel like everyone knows, and I'm only one that doesn't know.

No, 100%.

And I get what you're saying - it's the whole,

"We wanna protect Ella's feelings," it's hurt you more than normal.

My feelings have been hurt anyway. Nothing else is gonna hurt me.

And you've asked him. He's already done the worst thing.

Mate, I've asked constantly. And he's denied it to me as well.

He's lied and lied through his fucking teeth.

That's made it worse. He denied it. Why would you lie?

I think what's hard as well is the fact that people in the group know.

Obviously, you're none the wiser, which makes it harder for you.

But then all wanna play my friend. Yeah.

You and Jodie, I'd say, are friends. I think she thought you knew.

I think she thought you knew. How am I gonna know?

And I went, "No, we had an idea." There was speculation.

There was speculation, but not facts that you've been on a double date.

That's completely different.

# You can't see The mess you've put me through

# Look at what you did Damn, I'm such a hypocrite

# Crying like a, urgh... Saying that you're different

# I'm so full of it... # CHEERING

# I know I'm a gangsta But my heart be delicate

# I'll be good, OK... # CHEERING

# Look at what you did... # LAUGHTER

# Damn, I'm such a hypocrite Crying like a, urgh...

# Look at what you did. #

Girls and gays, thank you so much for coming.

I'd never miss it. Thank you for organising, Court.

No, do you know what it is?

Reason why Elma doesn't like enjoying her birthday -

it made me really sad when you told me this...

No, it's not a sad thing.

From someone obsessed with her birthday. I love my birthdays.

And I just think it's a really exciting time of the year

to celebrate your life, because your life is so important.

And, yeah, growing up, your family didn't really do it.

We don't really do it. We're not really birthday big.

Do you know what I mean? Some people are, some people aren't.

You're my housemate, you're my bestie, I think you deserve to...

A new tradition. Thank you!

Your life deserves to be celebrated. So, I'll be 22 next year, then?

Yeah. We'll call it "not a birthday".

I think it's important to celebrate you,

cos I feel like you always do for everyone else, and...

I love celebrating for everyone else.

Except for yourself! But we wanna celebrate you.

Oh, guys, and you have all done it, I'm very grateful. Thank you.

I only wanna celebrate you. I do think that's true, though.

You're there for everyone all the time. Yeah.

You're there when people need you. SHE SPLUTTERS

Sorry, just ate a fly. And someone died from eating a fly.

Right, Harry, I feel like I need to know the goss.

Like, obviously, you went to a party. How was it? What went on?

Listen, I felt like I was a fish out of water at that party, honestly.

Did you feel out of place? And I hate fish, so...

There was Saff there, there was Joe, Junaid, Freddie... Oh!

At least you had Amy. All the people that...

All your favourites (!) All of my... Yeah!

But I was there, and I thought,

"Do you know what? I'm gonna show my face

"and be a good person here." You've been the bigger person.

How was the energy? Did you feel welcome?

I didn't speak to... The only people I spoke to was Ella, Dani...

And do you know what? To be fair, she was all right.

She still said about the trust stuff - I thought,

"You know, I can't be bothered today."

I just let it slide and thought... So why did she invite you?

She went, "It's nice." I said, "It is nice.

"We'll put our difference aside, have a nice birthday."

It was quite nice, to be fair,

and I thought it was quite grown-up of her. Mature.

And then I dropped a bomb.

What bomb? What? What bomb?

I said, "Are you OK? Like, just checking in..."

Cos it's never nice when you split up with someone.

We've all been in them shoes where things are a bit awkward

and you're not feeling yourself.

She was like, "Yeah, I'm OK, yeah."

I said, "Oh, cos I obviously see Dan with his new girl that he's seeing,

"and obviously, Diags and Jodie were there, they were double dating."

I said, "I see 'em." She went...

"Er? Oh!" She knows about that, though.

But then she said to me, "Oh, he denied that,

"and he said that never, he wasn't seeing her and all that."

And I was a bit like...

No, he's openly saying he's seeing her, they both are.

Well, she's saying different.

She's been speaking to Dan still, and Dan's denying about this girl.

What, so they're talking still? I don't get it!

I think Ella's just being pick-me, because Ella called it off with Dan,

so if Ella called it off with Dan, she can't now...

She did admit that she called it off with him.

So, she just now wants him because he's moved on and met someone else.

I think that that's probably the case.

I know how that feels. SHE CHUCKLES

Who he's moved on with isn't exactly... She's unbelievable.

..any Tom, Dick and Harry, she's unreal.

I felt bad, cos Jodie was at the party.

Oh, did she go? I'm surprised. Jodie was there, yeah.

Jodie was there, and I felt like...

Jodie was at that double date when I see 'em in London,

and Jodie's not told Ella about it, but she's at the party. Oh, no!

But are Jodie and Ella that good friends for her to let her know? No.

Then it's not up to her. I don't think Jodie's...

At the end of the day, Diags is her fella.

Dan, they live together. I feel like Jodie's...

Her loyalty is with the boys.

It's not her business to go around saying,

"This is what's going on." No.

Especially if they're not together any more. Mm.

She got emotional, cos she thinks Dan's lying to her...

Yeah, but she... ..about a lot of stuff.

He probably didn't wanna make things worse by upsetting her,

but I feel that that's the problem with Dan.

I feel like he needs to be a bit more assertive

and actually just say what's going on,

because then there's no crossed wires, no-one gets confused.

Do you know what, though? I've seen him do it. Yeah!

When we was out the other night, he was... he walked away from her.

If that's the case, then she's just feeling different.

I think Dan's been very strong on his opinion of the whole thing.

It's probably not nice when your ex moves on with someone

that is such a nice girl, so... That's like that, yeah. Yeah.

She's probably just feeling a bit bitter about the whole thing, maybe.

Yeah, it's never nice when you like someone and they meet someone else.

That's never nice. But she called it off with Dan.

But she did call it off, so she has to now take that on the chin.

Yeah.

# Can't make you love me

# No, I can't make you love me. #

LAUGHTER

# Be a little more

# Be a little more Give me a little more patience. #

Lovely, innit, Mum?

Ah, it's beautiful, innit? Feel like we're in Marbella.

We ain't gotta go away on holiday any more, me and Bill, have we, now?

Well, I can't fly, so this does me a treat, don't it?

You can't fly cos of your heart attack. Yeah, lovely.

So it'll be lovely just to enjoy summer here now, know what I mean?

I just don't wanna go out. I don't really wanna do nothing.

But you can't let that happen, Mum.

You need to get on with your life because you only live once.

Now every morning, I wake up and think, "Oh, I'm alive!"

I know, it's crazy. It's so bad to feel like that, Mum.

You shouldn't feel like that. I know, yeah.

In a couple of weeks, I'll go to the hospital,

then I'll know what they're gonna do.

I just wanna go on holiday. But listen, this is holiday now, innit?

But also - looking forward to it, Mum -

Billy's coming out with us tomorrow night.

Oh, is he? Oh, that's nice.

People all say to me, "I can't believe you've got a brother!"

And I go... "Yeah." They think I'm the only child, Mum.

I go, "You've not met Billy yet. He is fun.

"Great personality." I mean, that's nice.

You taking him out? That'll be nice, that'll be lovely.

We'll take him out. Jordan, Soph, me and Bill, just have a laugh.

Oh, lovely. Ah, that'll be nice.

Babe? Well done!

So, Billy's gonna come out with us tomorrow.

Your brother? Yeah, Billy's coming out!

Oh, nice.

But they'll love him, Bill, won't they?

Does your brother know Jordan?

Yeah, they've met each other a few times, haven't they? Yeah.

Yeah, that's what I mean. Sweet.

Obviously, he's newly single now, like, he's...

So, what, then? What you thinking? What, setting him up with...?

Do you know what? I think with Billy, I think it's early days.

I think he needs to meet the group. Yeah.

I dunno, let him just have a laugh again.

Find himself. But the thing is,

you need someone that's gonna match your brother,

because he is one funny, funny person.

I know, but... And he's got the banter...

But I don't think we should put pressure on it.

No. Let's get him meeting the group.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then see where we go from there.

I know a few of the girls - I'm not gonna say who -

but I think they will fancy Billy.

I definitely know you got something up your sleeve, Cilla Black.

I know you're a matchmaker. Why are you trying to say...?

I'm not, I'm just saying, like, I'm just...

Let him just enjoy himself and find himself. Yeah. 100%.

# Mercy, mercy, mercy pon me Mercy, mercy, mercy pon me

# Late night Mi nah know what me ah do

# Late night Mi ah come and find you

# Mercy, mercy, mercy pon me... #

I've got something really serious to tell youse.

Try and look serious then, at least.

Don't tell me you're emigrating or something.

Where you going?

No, have you not noticed anything different?

You've got no brace!

Oh, my God, your braces are off! Ahh!

No way!

LAUGHTER

Oh, it's a lovely smile. I think I wanna kiss it!

HE LAUGHS

Anyway, I've got news. What?

Courtney didn't get to celebrate her 30th

the way we would've wanted her to celebrate her 30th.

Yep, course. Saffron didn't get to come, you know...

There was just a lot of things up in the air.

And she stormed out of it - she was upset.

So I feel like... clean slate, we start again.

Perfect. We throw her another birthday bash.

Yeah. Do her 30th properly, do it as Courtfest.

Are you telling me you're gonna plan a party?

I've made a mood board.

You're joking. Have you? I'm not joking, yeah.

Is this the theme? Am I invited to this one?

Of course you fucking are. No, just planning it.

Yeah, do you know what, actually? Yeah!

So, we've got cowboy boots, it's cowgirl themed. Very Nashville.

Is it a festival, or a...? It's Courtfest.

What are them parties? A rodeo!

What are they...? Get a "brucking ronco".

What's a... a "ferron wheel"?

A Ferris wheel. Ferris wheel.

Ferris wheel. Ferron wheel! Ferron wheel?

Makes sense in my head. LAUGHTER

I'll bet it does!

Who's invited, then?

Everyone that was invited to the first 30th, plus Saffron.

I think we'll invite Freddie as well

because her and Freddie have kind of... Yeah.

She does like Freddie. Yeah! They need to try and build on that.

It should just be a day all about Courtney.

Yeah, absolutely. She deserves it. I think she'll be really happy.

Yeah, she will. Yeah.

Can you plan on your own? Do you need help?

No, I'm gonna delegate work.

Need a cake. Who does the cake?

Saff. Who does balloons?

Saff. Who does the invites?

Saff.

You're putting your own job onto Saffron! Oh, sorry!

Sorry, hold on a minute! LAUGHTER

Right, I think we should get Freddie at it.

I think we'll get him on balloons. All right, Freddie on balloons.

So, that's sorted, that's quite a big job.

Chloe Meadows knows Courtney inside out.

OK. So if anyone's gonna know what's gonna make her really happy,

it is Chloe. Yeah.

I'm gonna count on giving Chloe some stuff.

Cos Diags left the last party, you should give him a really bad job.

Diags on toilet duty. Aw, imagine.

Yeah, we'll do that. LAUGHTER

RINGING TONE

PHONE RINGS

'Hello?'

H, what's happening, mate? It's Dan.

'Oh, you all right, Dan?' Yeah, I'm all right, you?

How are you? 'Yeah, not bad.'

Bit of stress going on. Yeah. Go on.

I just wanted to call you, really, H,

to see what... work out what's gone on.

'I wouldn't normally call you, but I see you last weekend.' Yeah.

And then since then, it's, er...

Yeah, I've had a bit of stress.

So, b... 'And what I understand of it...'

All I know of it from Jodie is that you went to Ella's party and...

and dropped the information that you seen me out with someone.

Probably weren't my place to say,

but I didn't really think it was much of a problem

cos I thought we all knew about it.

'It's knowledgeable - pictures of youse out there.' there.'

So I didn't really think... it was a big secret.

No, listen, and it weren't a secret.

Obviously, when I was asked about it by Ella, I played it down.

Yeah. 'And, yeah, I've just started talking to someone.'

But it's such early days, I didn't feel like it was at a stage

where I needed to tell people in the group,

especially Ella at the moment, as my ex-girlfriend.

Yeah. And the point of me staying away from Ella's party

was purely so that she could have a good day

and it wouldn't cause any dramas.

And then... it seems like... Uh-huh.

..I've stayed away from there, and it's caused mad problems anyway.

Listen, obviously, I get it,

and I get you're obviously probably a bit angry by that,

but I really just didn't think it was a big problem, Dan.

'And I honestly thought Ella already knew.'

So I didn't really think it was a big thing.

'I think she did know of it.'

But I just think it was the way that it was you going there

as someone she's probably not in the best of places with. Yeah.

'Your friendship's obviously deteriorated over time.' Yeah.

I think as it was you going there and it was on her birthday,

I just felt like you probably wasn't the person to say that,

or the right place to say that, or time.

It's just probably just a messy situation, isn't it?

And it's probably, I've put my two cents in

and not helped the situation, has it? Exactly that.

All I can do is apologise, Dan. Look, it's fine, H. We're cool.

I just wanted to ring you and just let you understand

sort of the implications that it had. 'Yeah.'

Well, I hope you're all right. 'Yeah.'

All right, H, listen, I'll catch up with you at some point.

See you later, Dan. 'All right mate, bye.'

Bye, bye-bye-bye.

Fucking my big mouth.

# Look at my hair

# Rays of UV rain down on me

# And I can't take One more degree! #

Bloody hell, once you start with these, you can't stop.

Should be a crime. Here you go. Thank you.

Ooh! Look at you with your matcha.

I know. Do you know what? I don't drink coffee or tea.

I know, I'm surprised you drink that.

But I feel like matcha actually makes you have like a natural high,

whereas coffee, you have a high, then you dip.

I feel like coffee doesn't affect me.

I've had one this morning,

and I still feel like I could pass out, I'm so sleepy.

So I don't think it actually affects me.

Hopefully, this sugar rush helps. PHONE RINGS

Ooh. Harry?

Hello? 'Hello, you OK?'

I'm sitting with Courtney, I'm at hers.

Ah, hi, girls! Are you OK?

I feel really bad. What? What?

HARRY SIGHS 'I just got off the phone to Dan.'

To Dan? Yeah.

'Has he got the 'ump with you?'

Well, he's not got the 'ump, but potentially a little bit.

Why? Wait, so, about what?

Obviously, you know, I told youse that I went to Ella's,

and then I basically just said to her, "You all right?

"Cos I know it's not nice when you see someone moving on,"

or whatever I said. Yeah.

She was like, "Oh, yeah, yeah,"

cos I was like, "Yeah, cos I see him, didn't I?"

Did he say to you, "Do not tell anyone, keep this a secret?" No.

No, I'm sorry, if he's out in public with someone,

it's not on you to keep his secret.

I just honestly thought it was public knowledge.

I thought, like, we all knew about Dan was seeing someone.

'Yeah.' And, like...

'I feel bad, though, cos I feel like he just sounded really stressed,

'cos he was like...'

The only reason he's gonna be stressed is because

he probably hasn't been honest about... the situation with Ella,

and now she's giving him grief.

That's the only reason why he's gonna be pissed off,

because this is what this boy's like.

He did do something really similar to me

when he wanted to be with me but was still speaking to someone else,

and it seems like history is repeating itself a little bit.

'But look, don't let it stress you out, and...'

Listen, there's obviously more going on between Dan and Ella,

and it's just... whatever, do you know what I mean?

Well, listen, anything that I've learnt from this situation...

Harry, if you see people out in public, shut your mouth.

LAUGHTER

'If you see someone in Brentwood high street holding hands...'

I didn't see 'em. CHUCKLING: No, I didn't!

Stress. Don't stress.

I'm gonna just shut my mouth and go to the gym now.

'Lovely.' 'Stunning!'

CHUCKLING: Sounds like a plan. 'Right.'

I love you girls. Hey, love you.

Love youse. 'See you later.'

'Bye!' Bye, bye-bye-bye-bye.

# I wouldn't let you come Into my calendar any night

# But if you want my kisses I'll be your perfect Mrs... #

Mm.

That's perfect. Perfect.

So good. I know.

Thing is, I know we had a good time. Obviously, the safari was...

It was the best. Yeah.

Bear's so cute. I went on a little play-date with him the other day,

with one of his friends, and he got out my phone,

and he was showing his friend all the videos

of feeding the giraffes, and... Oh.

It was so cute. He had the best time.

We all did! Mm.

I had the best time. It was so good! Obviously...

..I was speaking to Dan.

He obviously thinks I'm back into moving very fast again,

which I am very impulsive in that sort of sense.

Like, I'm like... I want to... What do you mean? You're not.

Well, I am always like, "Well, yeah, it's sweet.

"Like, we're talking... She's talking about marriage,

"I'm talking about having a kid by next year and doing all this."

And he's like... We have been together quite a long time.

I know. I know.

So, he was like, "You should really maybe see how it goes

"living with each other first

"before you start doing everything else.

"You should move in with each other and see how that goes."

Cos we haven't... Yeah, I agree.

We need to do that.

The main thing that is wrong in our relationship is the distance,

so why would we not fix that?

I know... We've been saying it for ages.

I know we have our long-term plans, and that is our long-term plan,

and I do want to have children and that,

but short term, we do need to move in with each other.

But obviously, also, at the same time,

Dan said I need to give him some notice if we are gonna do that.

But now I feel like we're in a stronger place than ever. Yeah.

So...

He is probably... How do I...? I wanna hold it.

I just want to live with you. SHE CHUCKLES

I know. And I just want us to all be together.

I feel like Bear's absolutely no trouble.

Like, we basically live with each other, anyway.

Like, whenever I'm not in Essex...

Hold on. THEY LAUGH

Hold on, babe.

Yeah?

Whenever I'm not in Essex, you're in Bristol,

so we do live with each other, pretty much, just in...

Do you know what I mean? In four-day spurts.

Mm. Yeah.

Anyway, we're not even... It's not even...

You're still in a contract with Dan at the moment,

and I feel like when that ends,

that's when we can think about it and talk about it.

It doesn't necessarily have to be when the contract ends with Dan.

It just needs to be when the right opportunity arises.

I think it's gonna have to be somewhere we want to be,

that is comfortable for us and Bear to be.

Yeah. Like, where we live now would be perfect.

Would be so perfect. Yeah.

So if something like that comes up, an opportunity arises

where we can take that, we should probably take it.

I definitely think that is the first step that we should do.

Yeah. OK, cool.

You tell your mum, I'll tell my mum. We'll let 'em know that's the plan.

OK. And that we're enacting on it.

Yeah. All right, cool.

Done. JODIE LAUGHS

Thank fuck for that. Mmm.

What about Ella?

So, at her party, I walked in,

and I think Harry had told her about the double date thing.

Yeah. They were all just talking and being really loud,

and they could clearly see that I was quite uncomfortable.

Like, they were all talking about Dan and slagging him off

and talking about the other girl that it involves,

and it was just such an uncomfortable situation for me

because I don't feel like I've done anything wrong.

If she's got stuff to say about Dan, she can say it to Dan,

say it to her friends in private.

She doesn't have to say it around people she knows is close with Dan.

She knows that you're with me, and I'm obviously living with Dan,

and we're best friends.

Like, it's just... It's very childish.

But let's forget about them.

Cheers a prawn?

To our future. To our future!

Boom. Oh, no.

# You're moving in

# Put your hand on my shoulder

# 50%, getting closer and closer

# Swoon when you say... #

I'm out with the Childses. You are. You're blessed, ain't you?

No, actually, you're out with the Delbosqs.

Aw. Whoa.

Soon to be Delbosq, eh? Cringe.

Yeah, cringe. Urgh!

In Newcastle, a lot of people are called Donna, after doner kebab.

When the mother's pregnant in Newcastle, she eats a doner kebab

and thinks, "I love it that much, I'm gonna call my child Donna."

You talk so much... Why else would they call their child Donna?

You talk so much drivel.

Darlings!

Hey! Whoo!

Hello. Hello, gorgeous!

Show me some love, baby. How are you, son?

Nice to see you, mate. Are you all right, yeah?

His name is Bill, but he goes by Wills.

# What if we stayed In the honeymoon phase? #

So, Soph... Yeah, go on.

This is my brother... Yeah.

..Billy. Billy.

But call him Wills. Nice to meet you.

Do you call Wills Bill?

Me and Mum are the only ones that call him Bill.

What is on your birth certificate? William.

Like my brother. All my dad goes is,

"We've got so many bills in this house -

"got a phone bill, telephone bill..."

But it's the same, it's the same stuff,

and I thought, it's the same joke he comes out with, and...

Ah, enjoy that one.

Then when I went to work at the garden centre with my dad,

all my dad's staff was like, baby Wills, I was like, touch.

Wait, so does William mean Bill? Yeah.

Yes. My brother Bill is called William.

No, he's not! Yeah. Yeah.

Why have I just learnt that? But his name's Bill.

I don't know why Bill is short for Will.

I'm glad I come now. It's a bit like Richard.

Shorten it for Dickie.

No-one really knows why. The same thing.

What was the first time that we met?

What was the song? I was singing.

She's rocked up with him.

I went, "I'll show you how to piss my sister off within two minutes."

I've gone, "Right, ladies and gentlemen,

"this next song goes out to my sister."

I've turned it down. McFly.

That's the face! LAUGHTER

But he's a really good singer. He's such a good singer, Bill.

I ain't the best. I just entertain, don't I?

You know, he's like Robbie Williams.

Weren't the best singer, but a great entertainer.

Entertainer is what it's all about. Thank you very much. Thank you.

Yeah, but I have fun with it, Soph. I get people involved.

Of course. Yeah. Thank you.

"Come on, babe, up you get.

"Right, come on, tonight's your lucky night."

We'll go to one of his gigs, Soph, it's... 100%.

They're brilliant. It's a right bit of you.

What is the age difference between youse?

So, everyone thinks that I'm the oldest, I'm not,

he's the oldest.

What is it Mum says?

She said yesterday, she said it was 19 months between us both.

That's not much at all, really. No.

I got the looks, he got the voice.

He's got the looks.

And personality! You win. LAUGHTER

Cheeky fucker, in't it? But, no, listen...

I know, it's true, no, one million percent.

Proper siblings going here. I love it. It is, isn't it?

Do you know what, it's quite nice, actually, to see this.

Yeah, the sibling thing. Because I don't see this.

She loves me. I do love him.

Aw, look. I love him so much. Together as a family.

Aw. She is my baby, I do love her. She knows that, an' all.

Billy is like... Yeah, I love him so much.

Why do you think you haven't been around the scene, then?

Is that just busy with life and family and stuff?

Yeah, just busy with, like, work and stuff like that.

So, Bill's got two kids. I've got two babies now.

But I've been single for, like, three months now.

Like, I've been...

I've moved out, just trying to get life back on track,

sort my kids out, and... Mm.

How have you been getting on with it all?

Coming out of a long relationship's hard. Yeah.

Listen, I have... I struggled at the start.

Of course. Like, I miss my kids.

But I'm spending more quality time with my babies now,

and I'm just enjoying it. Yeah.

And this is why we need to find a nice girl for Billy.

What is your ideal type? I wouldn't say I've got a type.

I just... I just like... fun. I just want...

I think Billy needs someone fun, energetic, really fun.

I think we're all thinking the same name.

Right, let's... Who's single?

All right, wait. On the count of three, all say a name.

One, two, three. Elma. Saffron.

Elma. Elma.

Saffron is fun, bubbly. But he knows Saffron.

Oh. You're quite good mates with Saffron, aren't you?

I've known Saffron for years.

Have you had a kiss before with Saffron? I've not.

No, you didn't.

That's what I'm saying, no. He's just winding it up, look.

No, I think Elma. Mm.

Has she got good banter? Do you know Elma?

No. Mate, she's hilarious. Good craic.

Fun? She is unbelievable.

She walks into a room, and she's just ball of energy.

Youse two could have a laugh together on a date.

Yeah. Do you reckon?

Yeah, 100%.

So, Elma could be a good one, yeah.

Potential. Yeah.

Mm. But do you know what, I'm really proud of you,

you've come out with the guys, and you're the most amazing dad,

but you need to find you again. Yeah.

It's probably not all about dating,

but it's good to just get on the scene a little bit.

Get out there a little bit. Just a bit of interaction.

Exactly. Just... Mm.

I think it's harder, though...

You're a bubbly bloke. I try.

You're very easy to talk to, very easy to get along with.

Just carry on being you, man. I think it's brilliant.

Yeah. Do you know what, Wills, it's lovely to have you out tonight,

and there's definitely, definitely gonna be more nights like this.

I appreciate it. Thank you.

Cheers to that. Cheers.

Cheers. Thank you.

Cheers. Thank you.

# In the same vibrations as you. #

# The only way is up. #

# It's sunrise, not midnights

# You can't sleep

# Got a feeling I know where this leads

# Don't make it... #

Sixteen lanyards, over.

Right, 16. What else?

You've sourced some lovely flowers, but that bouquet,

could you move to the end of the bar?

Over. Yes, over.

I'm getting used to this.

I'm not being funny, this ain't gonna do my hay fever any good.

You look like you've shit yourself. To the left.

Do you know what, Courtney's gonna be so happy.

If she wants to be. I don't know if she's gonna be over the moon.

Oh, hello!

Aw! Take a lanyard.

It's good to be back. Give us a kiss. Mwah.

Yeah! Yeah!

Girly! Hey!

I've missed you.

Hello, guys.

Yo. What, I've got actual badge?

Everyone's got a lanyard, and you must wear it.

# I know where this leads... #

Oh, guys! Oh, hi, everybody.

Guys, you've got to put on the lanyard.

Welcome to Courtfest. Can't get in without this.

No, you can't. That's the truth.

Hi, Diags. No!

Hello, everybody!

Oh, darling, I love this. Thanks so much for coming along.

Oh, my God, your braces are off! Yeah!

Hi, Becks. Hi, guys.

It's lovely. Hi, darling.

Hi, gorgeous! Ahhh!

Lanyard, please, my baby. Welcome. Welcome to the party.

Hello, my honey.

Lanyard... Yeah. Stop it!

Everyone, she's outside, she's outside, she's outside.

In a line, in a line, in a line.

One more step. What the hell is going on?

Is it really dark in here? No, you've just got a blindfold on.

ALL: Surprise!

Happy birthday!

CHEERING

Aw! Whoo!

CHEERING

EXCITED CHATTER

Oh, you're crying. Oh!

I was so... Because I was playing along.

Go and get glammed up, go and change,

and we're gonna be ready to party. See you soon, angel.

Love you.

It's been a turn out, hasn't it? Well done, guys.

Thank you. We had Fred running around

after everybody, to be honest.

He's wasted some energy. Oh, yeah, I'm burnt out.

Well, actually, the blindfold thing, excellent.

Yeah. Smashed it. Smashed it.

I was shaking myself.

I was like, "It's not even my surprise, I'm shaking!"

She was surprised, weren't she? She was really surprised.

I mean, at least we can all be here, finally. Yeah.

I mean, there is a bit of divide, but...

Who's the divide? With who?

I'm not talking to, obviously, Harry, that's awkward.

AMY: I just want you to just be mates again.

Same. I want you to make up - it isn't right.

It's just sad, because it's just... Do you feel ready?

We just need time. Yeah.

It ain't a big thing. Listen, we can be in the same place.

Me and Harry are never gonna be nasty to each other or anything. No.

You two can't not be friends. But maybe they need time.

We need time. And you two are OK?

The last time we saw each other was in Portugal.

Which feels like a lifetime ago. It does, it does.

I was just backing Harry in a situation,

and by doing that, I've upset you, and I am sorry for that.

I appreciate you apologising and acknowledging that,

and I just wanna, like, squish this now, move forward.

But I was saying to you, I was like, I really have no issue with Freddie.

I really don't, like... No, I'm glad.

You know. You stayed away too long.

Yeah. Caused a lot of problems.

I'm joking.

No, but I was trying to let everyone breathe again.

Listen, it's good that we've had this conversation,

we've put it to bed. It was a terrible trip for me!

Everyone went crazy out there. It's all calm.

Ame, what's been going on with you?

Last night, it was actually really nice because we went out for dinner

with Jordan, Soph, and my brother come along.

You're joking. Did he?

My brother come along, which was so lovely. I fancy Will.

Do you? What? Do you fancy him?

I've always loved him. He used to sing to me in the pubs.

Did he? Yeah.

But listen, no, I'm not, like, matchmaker,

I'm just saying to you... Wait, wait, wait.

Billy's single, and I thought, with Billy, he's funny...

He's hilarious. Good singer, he's such a lovely guy.

He'd sing you.

Don't worry, Elma. I'm just... I can see her panicking already.

Listen, I would just like to set you up.

My heart's going pitter-patter. I might be sick.

Hold on a minute.

This is the first time you've seen Sammy,

now we're setting her up with someone else.

We'll hang out with Amy's brother as a group, as a collective.

As a group. Yes.

You wanted to find me a man, now you've give mine away.

Do you not just think you and Bill, you go well back, though.

You can have him. No, yeah, let's just forget it, eh?

Forget it. No, we're here, trusting this what's it called?

So, did you snog Billy or not?

Saff, come on! Yeah, it was an evening.

No, it's fine, I said to you...

Who's not gonna kiss someone that's singing to them in the pub?

Very true. Also, he's a good singer.

Me and Will love each other like friends.

Right. Oh, yeah?

Doesn't sound like it. You're starting to sweat.

Can we move on?

So, anyway, we'd like to set him up with Elma.

LAUGHTER Oh.

CHEERING Happy birthday!

She's here!

Stunning, look. Well, you turned that around.

I'm shocked. Wow.

I don't get shocked much

and surprised, but I am in shock and surprised.

I'm gonna be honest, I thought you was on to us.

Just to let you know, we had Fred running around. At it.

He was stressed out. And I was saying,

"If this doesn't make it up to her, I don't know what will."

I was a bit nervous.

I thought, "Is she gonna come in and kick me out, or...?

"Where do I stand?" As long as you don't feel...

Like, do you feel awkward? No.

I was thinking... I don't at all.

No. I wanted to make that effort. Now he's cleared it up with Chloe.

Oh, good. Chloe apologised, and it was really nice,

and I'm happy to put it to bed.

I don't wanna keep going over old wounds,

something that happened weeks ago, do you know what I mean?

I'm over it, and I... Yeah, I've listened. Yes.

Yeah. He's listened.

Yes. Do you not listen, then?

Well, he... Pardon?

LAUGHTER That's such a dad joke.

# Yeah, and I never felt Nothing like this

# I ain't gonna let you down

# We dance all night Till the sunlight hits

# So let me meet you there

# Light in the dark You bring the brightness. #

Hello!

Oh, my God, the birthday girl.

Ooh! A week later, second birthday.

And it's nice to see you stay a bit longer this time.

I'll admit, I left early, and I made a mistake.

I should have stayed at your party.

My party wasn't the party I thought it was gonna be, either.

But how much better is this? Yeah, but this is good. I rate this.

I know. This is what I wanted in the first place.

This is the real deal.

# I'm so, so not

# But won't you take my hand? #

Food is the answer to everything. Isn't it? Food makes everyone happy.

Listen, I'd much rather

be going to a drive-through and have a little gossip sesh

with you two in the car than be at Courtney's birthday. Yeah.

What's the situation, obviously, with Jodie now?

Are you still pissed off with her? I ain't pissed off with her.

I... I'm fine. I'm gonna be honest,

I don't want no enemies with no-one, I can't be bothered.

I've got too much positivity in my life

than to be around negativity. Yeah.

Honestly, I have not got the brain capacity for it.

No, 100%, I agree. I agree. But anyway, forget all that shit.

I'm over it. Joe, press play.

I have been thinking about this song all day. I have to play it.

Love it. Am I gonna know the lyrics?

MUSIC: 'Touch My Body' by Mariah Carey

Oh, everyone knows this. "MC!"

Uh-uh, in the place to be. Place to be.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

# I know that you've been Waiting for me

# I'm waiting too

# In my imagination I be all over you

# I know you got that fever for me Hundred and two... #

# Touch my body, put me on the floor

# Wrestle me around Play with me some more

# Touch my body, throw me on the bed

# I just wanna make you feel Like you never did

# Touch my body... #

What am I doing?

# Come on, give me what I deserve And touch my body. #

CAMERA CLICKS

Ready? One more, one more. Besties!

I love you girls.

I love you so much. Love you.

Oh, my God, so cute. Look! Stunning. Yeah, love it.

Angel. Hi!

Now we've got Fred here, please can we just address this situation?

How is everything? It's needed.

HARRY: I think we need to address the elephant.

Honestly, I wanna know, like, is everything OK?

Well, I wanna know if everything's OK with you.

Well, everything's fine my side.

Obviously, I've heard

that you've said certain things behind my back.

Like what? That I'm up Saffron's arse.

Yeah. I did say that. Mm.

Yeah, so, where's that come from?

Just from what I've seen, angel, to be honest.

I... You know with me, Fred, I'm very...

I say exactly what's on my mind.

You haven't said it to me, though.

I don't talk to you, to be honest. I don't really speak to you.

This is the problem, to be honest, babe.

I thought me and you were friends. Yeah.

I've shared nice memories with you,

you've been round Becks' and my brother's house.

Like, I thought we was, honestly...

Like, I've always thought we really got on. Same.

So, then in Portugal, you're hot and cold.

I was like that with everyone, though, girl. I had a lot going on.

I know, angel, which I completely understand,

but it puts my back up, Fred.

So, I don't know what's going on. I'm not a mind reader.

I thought there was a problem with us, do you know what I mean?

I'll be honest, I don't mean this in a muggy way,

I didn't think there was a problem cos I didn't think nothing of it,

because obviously, me and you, I feel like we've always been fine.

Yeah, we might have our odd bicker and stuff like that,

but I get on with it, I don't hold grudges.

Obviously, the last couple of weeks,

I've heard that you said I was up Saff's arse,

but all I feel like I've ever done was be a good friend to Saff,

and I feel like I then

don't need to justify my relationship with Saff because...

You don't need to justify it to me, angel. I'm not saying that.

No, I know, but I feel from my perspective,

it kind of seems like you want a problem with me, babe,

because why would you say about me being up Saff's arse?

I don't get it. Because that's what I've observed, babe.

But what have you observed, though?

I just find that you scurry around, "Do you want me to take your bag?

"Do you want me to do this?" I'm like that as a friend, though.

OK, well, then, good for you.

If you feel like I've been a type of way,

I'd rather you just address it to me

and then me not have to hear it. I did.

You didn't - you have not said to my face

that I am up Saffron's arsehole, no, you haven't.

You're up Saffron's arsehole.

You're saying it now cos I've had to approach you. No, babe.

It's taken a while for you to build the balls to say it.

I'm not gonna keep going over the same conversation.

DANI: We're all friends. I'm bored with it.

I've got enough on my plate than to listen to you squeal.

So do I, angel. A lot more than you. I'm going.

Freddie. No, Freddie. No, I'm not doing it.

I can't be arsed. I've got enough shit going on in my fucking head.

Like what? I don't need to give her the time of day.

# You make me feel shitty

# I want you to hurt... #

CHEERING

# I want you to hurt. #

Bro, it's weird seeing you without Matilda.

What? I don't recognise you.

I'm just being me, bro.

Are you enjoying it without her? Yeah, I'm enjoying it.

Also, I miss her as well, at the same time,

but it is what it is.

You all right, Elms? Yo. What's happenin'?

You OK? Good, thank you. You?

You look lovely. All right? Hello.

You look lovely. Thanks so much.

I'll leave youse to it.

Thanks, Ro. Have a lovely chat, guys.

Laters. Laters.

You good? Yeah, good, thank you. You?

Yeah, not bad. Thanks for coming.

Thanks for the invite.

You're welcome. Well, was it you or Saff?

No, it was me. Oh. I thought it was from Saff.

No, Saff sent the message. I thought that would be the best option. Why?

I dunno. I've heard that you didn't want to, erm...

You still wanted space, so I was just like,

you was never not invited to Courtney's birthday,

so it would have been weird that you didn't come.

Do you know what I mean?

Yeah. Well, I wasn't invited to Courtney's birthday.

Of course you was. I wasn't.

You was. Don't lie, you was.

No, I have not... From what I knew, I wasn't.

Oh, no, you was. 100%, you was.

We spoke about it when it was first talked about, so you was.

You was never uninvited.

It's easy for you to say cos you're, like, in that group,

but I'm not just gonna turn up to Courtney's party, like,

with you there, and...

That's why I come here today, cos... And I'm glad you came.

At the same time, I felt like it might be a bit awkward,

which it probably is a little bit.

It's not for me. I don't want it to be.

Yeah, but I feel like it is. No, it's not for me.

I don't always know how to be when I'm around you, that's it.

I can't tell you how to feel.

Granted, but I just...

I feel like you coming, I'm glad that you've come,

cos I feel like we've taken a step in the right direction.

But I have given you your time, do you know what I mean?

Yeah, no, you have.

Listen, you haven't done... You haven't done anything wrong.

Like, we ended things. It was no-one's fault.

Like, you can't help how you feel. You've given me space.

I'm just a bit on edge cos I don't really know how to be around it,

and I get the odd feeling when I'm around you.

And it's just... It's a little bit weird.

And, like, I will get over that, it'll be cool.

I've got a lot more over it now than I was, like,

when we first... In Portugal. Yeah, course.

Yeah, you know? And that's what it is.

Now I've had a bit of time,

I'm getting there, and it'll be fine,

and we'll be cool, and we'll be friends,

and it will all be fine,

but it's just right now, it still is a little bit fresh.

Like, I dunno, right now, I just...

You still need time. Yeah.

I'm just in my head still a little bit, and it's just a bit...

That's not a problem. ..weird, you know?

Which, again, isn't your fault, it's not anyone's fault,

it's just how... Everyone deals with things different.

Yeah. Thank you for having me. You're so welcome.

And we're cool. Honestly. Yeah?

Yeah, we are fine, just it will be a bit of time, but we'll be fine.

We'll be fine. Promise.

All right, well, I'm gonna go get another drink,

or are you gonna go? You go get a drink.

I'll leave you to it. Oh.

# You should know me better See the signs

# Shouldn't have to tell you Or whatever

# Read my mind, oh-oh-oh

# You should know You should know. #

Freddie. It's ridiculous.

What the actual hell is going on?

Do you know what it is, Dan? I'm frustrated.

Oh, listen, that is all silly.

Youse actually don't need to be rowing,

youse do not need to be arguing, it's actually over nothing.

I'm exhausted from it all. I'm well and truly exhausted.

You've not done anything wrong. It's literally pathetic.

I feel like I'm going through a really tough time at the minute.

No, I know.

Oh, no, don't get upset.

I know. Listen, I know the past few weeks,

you haven't been yourself. No, but I'm really struggling.

Like, I'm hurting. No, I know, I know.

But this is the thing, Fred,

like, you are going through things, and even when you sit there

and you say, "No, I'm fine," I know you're not fine,

because I know what you're like, you go quiet, you're not yourself.

You're a bubbly character, so I know when there's something wrong.

Livvy doesn't know you as well as, like, what I know you.

No, I know, but just give me a break,

you're starting on me for nothing.

I'm just struggling.

Yeah, but you know you've always got me and Ella.

Junaid and Joe, you know that you've got them as well.

I'm exhausted, Dan.

I feel like I just need a break from it all.

I hate seeing you this upset.

Honestly, in that situation,

Freddie, you have done nothing wrong, you haven't.

These people don't know you the way that we know you,

so they're not getting it.

# Who am I? Who am I?

# I'm the man who can't be loved. #

LAUGHTER

What's funny, Diags? My feet are so ticklish!

Are they? Yeah.

I don't want Freddie to be upset, and it's not that deep.

I have said some comments. It's a bit catty, the claws was out.

He's fucked me over. I don't want him at my celebrations ever.

I'm just gonna go home.

I'm coming with you. I ain't gonna let him walk out on his own.

Single or with someone? Single. She was with Dan.

How was that? Not great.

What's my dad doing with them flowers?

Do you fancy him? I think I might. Oh, no!

Rumour has it, Ella and Will are a bit flirty at the minute.

Listen, I think we never wanna make you feel uncomfortable,

and we don't wanna feel uncomfortable.

I think we just want to wish you well. OK.

# The only, only, only, only Only, only, only, only
