“Sadly, Sam can’t say the same…she ate a dodgy Nandos at the airport yesterday and has been paying the price ever since and as any good girlfriend would do, I called the doctor and took pictures of her in a compromising position.” get an injection in the butt.

‘She started to feel better so I asked her to take some pictures of me in my new dress…she said yes and then conveniently forgot to mention that my lovely m&s panties were on FULL SHOW.

‘I was wondering why I was getting some weird looks up and down the beach. I had no idea (last slide… fml) never a dull moment.’
