A visibly tense Joe then said ‘I can’t think of anything!’ 

‘I don’t think he cares about the campmates in the camp liking him, he wants the outside world to like him. He’s playing this game and I don’t think it matters to him if he gets any enemies.’

But Ant shot his comments down straightaway when he said: ‘That’s kind of what Dec said before but with more words,’ leaving Joe dumbstruck and looking irate as he tried to crack a smile.
