It's the first day and with his hotel pedigree, Spencer is put in charge. Joey is given the lowly job of bell boy, and they're off to a shaky start when he gets lost taking the first guests to their room. Lydia is forced to cover for Ashley, who fails to get up for his breakfast shift. Spencer's management style quickly comes under fire as the first ratings are announced, and things go from bad to worse as the celebs throw a disastrous welcome dinner, with one celeb drunkenly offending a guest. It's a chaotic start to the season - can they turn it around?
In the second episode, celebrity employee Ashley Cain gets an official warning due to 'after-hours antics' with a hotel guest. Joey Essex and Holly Hagan organise a pirate-themed booze cruise for the holidaymakers, while Spencer Matthews and Lydia Bright are challenged to plan the perfect romantic proposal for two new lovebirds.
In the fourth episode, with Spencer off sick, Lydia is left to manage the hotel and she's a man down. After a penis-themed hen do, Spencer returns and is eager to voice his disapproval. Ashley delivers his version of Five Star service to the hen party, with potentially disastrous results, while Joey and Spencer attempt to bury the hatchet.
