Ant and Dec then arrived and sent the final four off for some food. While gone, the ex-campmates learned they had a job to do.
Dec said: ‘We haven’t just brought you back for a chit chat… you’ve actually got a very important decision to make.’

Stunned by the news, Toff said: ‘It’s a really awful, awful thing to have to do.’
Janice added: ‘It’s a terrible thing to do.’
