Storylines

Carley, Chidgey, Jenna, Lateysha, Liam, and Nicole arrive in the house; Chidgey and Carley decide to pretend that they're a couple. They're then joined by twins, Anthony and Jason, who immediately cause chaos within the house. Later, several arguments break out between Liam, Jenna, and Carley. Carley then goes to Chidgey for comfort.

The next day, the whole group is invited out to do some modelling, and Nicole styles their clothes. Jenna enjoys getting close to both Anthony and Jason during the photoshoot and begins to develop feelings towards them. Jenna takes Chidgey aside to discuss his relationship with Carley, but he tells her the truth about how there's nothing going on between them. As always, she makes her feelings well known towards them, but is shocked to hear that Jenna has been kissing one of them the night before. Lateysha's not happy when she realises there's crumbs in her hair extensions from a food fight and plots to get revenge on the boys by putting fish in their pillowcases. As the girls demand an apology from the boys, more arguments erupt between Liam and Carley. Later that night during a night out, Liam is expecting to be called up by Jordan to DJ for the club, but receives a shock when he actually asks Carley instead, thus sparking a rivalry.

AK asks Chidgey to go into work to do another photoshoot, this time with Liam. When they arrive at work, Chidgey is horrified to find out it's a gay photoshoot and will have to get close to Liam. Carley then decides she can't cope with all the arguments in the house so packs her bags and returns home, saying goodbye to Chidgey. With the whole house shocked at Carley's departure, Natalee continues to get close to Anthony but he's worried that it will affect his friendship with Chidgey.

That night, the group goes for another night out together, but ends up causing arguments about Natalee and Chidgey as he mentions kissing Carley. Anthony's there to pick up the pieces though for Natalee and they all go home. Meanwhile, AK and Jordan visit Carley in Caerphilly and convince her to return to Cardiff to follow her dream. When the group arrives back at the house, they find Carley in the house and are all delighted that she's back. All except Liam. As the tension between Carley and Liam increases, arguments erupt between them both, and Lateysha and Nicole get involved.

The next night, the group hosts a house party and Carley invites Millie, who previously had sex with Leeroy and kissed Chidgey. Natalee decides to turn to Anthony for support and they get together again, but Carley decides to turn to alcohol. After quizzing Carley over what's happened, Natalee feels uncomfortable with the situation and begins another argument. Meanwhile, Leeroy is planning a return to the house after a meeting with Jordan.

The following day, after spending the night in bed with Jason, Jenna receives a visit from her mother to take her down to London for the interview. Panicking that her mother will find out what she's been up to, Jenna quickly gets dressed and leaves. During her interview for Nuts, Jenna's told that she's wanted on the cover of the magazine with Lateysha. That night, Carley decides to stay in as she's feeling unwell, but Chidgey thinks it's to do with her growing feelings for him. Natalee and Chidgey call a truce on the night out, but it soon turns into bickering again, when she asks if he can try and pull Carley.

On Jenna's big day, she and Natalee go down to London for the Nuts photoshoot. Natalee finally apologises to Carley and says she'll spend more time with her, but then leaves her for Anthony. Back at the house, Chidgey and Carley discuss their situation, and Jenna finally chooses Jason over Leeroy.

Whilst at the Valleywood photo shoot, the boys wreak havoc with the girls by dragging them around in mud, leaving Lateysha angry with them. Natalee gets too drunk though and everyone returns to the house. As Chidgey also brings a girl back, he's soon let down when Carley changes her mind and ends up with Leeroy.

Natalee blames Chidgey the next morning for encouraging Anthony to get into bed with a girl. Natalee then moves on to Anthony and tells him that they need to stay away from each other to avoid getting hurt. However, that night, Natalee goes for revenge on a girls' night out and kisses loads of boys. Carley also goes all out to prove she doesn't have feelings for Chidgey and tries to get another boy to love her, but then the boys go into the party without an invitation and she's immediately drawn to him. The pair get close and end up in bed together.

As the night of Valleywood approaches, the group goes to rehearsals, but Carley is clearly troubled and can't take it anymore. She returns to the house, packs her bags, and goes back to Cardiff without telling anyone. When everyone realises Carley is gone, Natalee and Chidgey pin the blame on each other. The next morning, everyone packs their bags to return to Cardiff, but they get a visit from Jordan and AK where they reveal that Jordan and AK want to continue working with everyone except Nicole and Liam.
