Caitlyn was happy for him to go and said she’d find someone else to wash up with her as Andrew had earned the rest. ‘Just go take a nap, you earned it.’ Andrew happily sang his way off towards his hammock for a rest.
Ian was disgruntled by this decision, particularly hearing that camp leader James was going to do the washing up with Caitlyn.
‘It’s amazing some people are just not cut out for success. Don’t go and rest just kick on and do your job, ‘he said.

He told fellow celebrities:’ I’m having to hold myself in now it’s as well I’m not the leader because this wouldn’t be happening, he’d be down there doing it.
