0:00:04 > 0:00:06their world premiere in the TV room.

0:00:06 > 0:00:09Don't miss these personal takes

0:00:09 > 0:00:12on what life is really like in Ashdene Ridge.

0:00:12 > 0:00:14And next up, it's Tee!

0:00:16 > 0:00:17This one should be funny.

0:00:17 > 0:00:20Er...Sash, did you hear something?

0:00:20 > 0:00:22Nah, nothing important.

0:00:22 > 0:00:26I'm Tee Taylor and this is my I'm video thingy.

0:00:26 > 0:00:29I'm one of the oldest here at the Dumping Ground,

0:00:29 > 0:00:31so I've seen some sights in my time here.

0:00:31 > 0:00:35One of the maddest days, though, probably was kind of down to me.

0:00:35 > 0:00:42And that's because I had this thing about a certain kind of farm animal.

0:00:42 > 0:00:46But that was a long, long time ago. I'm much, much better now.

0:00:46 > 0:00:51- Baa!- Can I touch it?- She's not an it, she's a she.- What's her name?

0:00:51 > 0:00:55Baronica Belanie Bibibulous Saffybum the First.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57Harry, where...?

0:00:57 > 0:00:59Holy...cow!

0:00:59 > 0:01:03- Um...sheep.- What's going... Oh, no!

0:01:03 > 0:01:06- It's Mrs Sheep. - That's not her name! It's...

0:01:06 > 0:01:09- I don't care what her name is. Tee, you can't have a sheep!- Yes, I can.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12No-one's going to want to foster us if we come with farmyard animals.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15'So my brother Johnny was stressing. No big surprise there.'

0:01:15 > 0:01:19'But everyone else got used to having Baronica around the place.'

0:01:19 > 0:01:22Oh, sweet sheep! Whose is he?

0:01:22 > 0:01:25He is a she. She's mine.

0:01:26 > 0:01:29'Well, almost everyone.'

0:01:29 > 0:01:30Er...

0:01:33 > 0:01:35- What is that?- A sheep.

0:01:35 > 0:01:37I meant, what's it doing here? Hm?

0:01:37 > 0:01:40- It's watching TV.- Baa!

0:01:40 > 0:01:42'One sheep in the house is one thing,

0:01:42 > 0:01:47'loads of them in somebody else's house maybe isn't such a good idea.'

0:01:47 > 0:01:50Get...off...my...land!

0:01:50 > 0:01:52Hurry up, come on!

0:01:52 > 0:01:54- Or I'll set the pigs on you! - Quick! Hurry up!

0:01:54 > 0:01:59Which idiot left the sheep out of the field and into the house, hm?!

0:02:05 > 0:02:08They followed me. I didn't mean to leave the gate open.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11I hope you understand the consequences of your actions.

0:02:13 > 0:02:14I really do.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17'The consequences were that we lost the holiday.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19'And, as you can probably guess,

0:02:19 > 0:02:21'I wasn't exactly flavour of the month.'

0:02:21 > 0:02:24- Put your seatbelts on, please. - 'I felt terrible.

0:02:24 > 0:02:27'And certain people milked the situation for cheap laughs,

0:02:27 > 0:02:28'which didn't exactly help.'

0:02:30 > 0:02:31# Who let the sheep out?

0:02:31 > 0:02:33# Who? Who? Who? Who? #

0:02:33 > 0:02:35Baa!

0:02:35 > 0:02:37Yeah, very helpful, Tyler, I'm sure.

0:02:37 > 0:02:41Someone had to lighten the mood. And you can't put a price on that.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44- TV:- So I made a stupid mistake.

0:02:44 > 0:02:45But it was so mean how everyone

0:02:45 > 0:02:47gave me the cold shoulder over the whole sheep-gate thing.

0:02:47 > 0:02:51- Or should I say gate-gate?- Badumsh!

0:02:51 > 0:02:54So what I'm saying is I can't stand

0:02:54 > 0:02:57when people are deliberately mean and go out of their way to hurt you.

0:02:57 > 0:03:00- I wish I could do something to make it better.- Oh, you can.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05What? Anything. Just tell me.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07You can go away.

0:03:09 > 0:03:10'Not good.

0:03:10 > 0:03:14'But I can see why losing our holiday made Lily act that way.

0:03:14 > 0:03:18'Yeah, she was being mean, but she's not a nasty person deep down.

0:03:19 > 0:03:23'Unlike that dodgy pair who thought Kaz had taken their money.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25'They were just horrible.'

0:03:25 > 0:03:27This isn't a family home.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29- They're in care.- So?

0:03:30 > 0:03:35So this stuff of hers, it probably means everything to her.

0:03:35 > 0:03:38'Kaz hadn't meant to take their stupid money,

0:03:38 > 0:03:40'but they were out to get it back whatever it took.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43'And if anyone got hurt in the process, that was just tough.'

0:03:43 > 0:03:45We know who you are now.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48- Tee.- D'you hear that?

0:03:48 > 0:03:50Don't panic. Don't say a word.

0:03:50 > 0:03:54- They're trying to find out where you are.- ..Pictures of Mummy!

0:03:55 > 0:03:57They're going through my things!

0:04:00 > 0:04:03'How can anyone be so heartless as to destroy something

0:04:03 > 0:04:04'so obviously precious as that?'

0:04:04 > 0:04:08- (They weren't kidding, were they?) - Tee, I'm so sorry.

0:04:10 > 0:04:12(This isn't on.)

0:04:12 > 0:04:14(No, it's not.)

0:04:14 > 0:04:16(D'you know what they've done?

0:04:16 > 0:04:19(They've made me very angry.

0:04:19 > 0:04:22(They're not getting their money and they're not getting away.)

0:04:22 > 0:04:25She got what was coming to her all right.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27Oh! A-A-A-Argh!

0:04:27 > 0:04:31'And she deserved everything she got for being so unkind.'

0:04:31 > 0:04:34- And we deserved an award. - Which we are still waiting for.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36BOTH: Mike!

0:04:38 > 0:04:40But ever worse is when people are mean,

0:04:40 > 0:04:42but pretend to be the opposite.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44How long have you been here?

0:04:44 > 0:04:46Since I was five. The longest.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51- Who came next?- Then it was Carmen.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55Then Harry, Tyler and Jody.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58- TEE'S VOICE:- You're arrogant and you're a bully. You're arrogant...

0:04:58 > 0:05:00'There's nothing worse than being twofaced.'

0:05:00 > 0:05:02- TEE'S VOICE:- Carmen, Harry, Tyler then Jody.

0:05:02 > 0:05:04Can't you see I'm busy?!

0:05:07 > 0:05:09- TEE'S VOICE: - Tyler is manipulative.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14- TEE'S VOICE:- Carmen is so arrogant.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17I can't believe she'd say something like that!

0:05:17 > 0:05:20But like I say, when I get angry, I get even.

0:05:20 > 0:05:22However long it takes.

0:05:22 > 0:05:26- Naming no names, but you have been warned.- Ooo, scary Tee(!)

0:05:28 > 0:05:32- I think she's talking about you. - I'd watch out if I were you.

0:05:34 > 0:05:38I dunno, it feels funny listing your talents, like I'm bragging.

0:05:38 > 0:05:42Er...but I am a quite creative sort of person.

0:05:42 > 0:05:46- Writing is something I like to do. It's great to try out new words.- Hm!

0:05:46 > 0:05:48Yeah, I can think of a few words.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50Long, boring, trying too hard. Hm!

0:05:50 > 0:05:53This is Tee's story. This is going to walk it.

0:05:53 > 0:05:57"Sheena tossed and turned amidst profound terror

0:05:57 > 0:05:59"as the mist stalked her dreams

0:05:59 > 0:06:02"where the dark memory of her past was unleashed."

0:06:04 > 0:06:06- Hm!- Don't be mean.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09It's not Tee's fault she accidentally swallowed a dictionary.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11THEY CHUCKLE

0:06:11 > 0:06:14'And I've always loved doing arty stuff, too.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17'Sometimes a picture can say so much more than words.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32'Although when Kaz took me to meet this artist friend of hers...'

0:06:34 > 0:06:36- Roscoe!- Kazima!

0:06:39 > 0:06:41'..it made me realise that compared to what he did,

0:06:41 > 0:06:44'my stuff was just a muddle of things chucked together.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46'He knew the message he wanted to get across.'

0:06:48 > 0:06:50Amazing!

0:06:50 > 0:06:53The thing is, just because someone is an artist with bags of talent

0:06:53 > 0:06:55and knows exactly what he's doing...

0:06:55 > 0:06:59- And who happens to be drop-dead gorgeous.- Irrelevant.

0:07:00 > 0:07:04'..that doesn't mean that that person's without their faults.

0:07:04 > 0:07:05'Roscoe certainly was.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08'The ideas he had were amazing and he had so many of them.

0:07:08 > 0:07:11'I don't think I've ever met anyone that talented.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14'Trouble is, I don't think I've ever met anyone that selfish either.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17Oi! You!

0:07:20 > 0:07:23I don't see a way out, do you?

0:07:23 > 0:07:27Just goes to show, you can't judge a book by its cover.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30Yeah, I know. You could definitely get lost in his eyes, though.

0:07:33 > 0:07:36I knew you'd be OK. You're a first-timer. It's different for me.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38I had to get out of there.

0:07:38 > 0:07:39You talk like you want to save the world,

0:07:39 > 0:07:42but when things get difficult, you're just out to save yourself!

0:07:42 > 0:07:43It's just the way it works.

0:07:45 > 0:07:49So if it was a choice between being a proper artist

0:07:49 > 0:07:52or being a proper friend, I know which I'd rather be.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56- Who are you?- He's no-one.

0:07:56 > 0:07:57And he's leaving.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Yeah, that's me, no-one.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06My family.

0:08:06 > 0:08:08Well, for me, that obviously means Johnny.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11We've always been close, so... Yeah.

0:08:11 > 0:08:14I miss him loads now that he's not here any more.

0:08:14 > 0:08:16Johnny?

0:08:16 > 0:08:18(Cheers.)

0:08:18 > 0:08:19You'd better go.

0:08:19 > 0:08:23'Funny to think we've been together since the day I was born...'

0:08:23 > 0:08:24..and now that he's left to join the army,

0:08:24 > 0:08:26we might never live in the same house again.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29Aw, my name's Tee and I'm scared of growing up(!)

0:08:30 > 0:08:32Why don't you grow up?

0:08:32 > 0:08:34The funny thing with Johnny and me is that

0:08:34 > 0:08:37although we're really different as people, we rub along.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39'No dramas or big fallouts.'

0:08:39 > 0:08:42- Tee, why did you mess up my room? - I didn't mess up your room.

0:08:42 > 0:08:44Why would I do that, stranger boy?

0:08:44 > 0:08:46'Well, not that many dramas and fallouts.'

0:08:48 > 0:08:50Do not climb that tree! I mean it!

0:08:55 > 0:08:59Ow! Get off me! Get off! Leave me alone! Stop it!

0:08:59 > 0:09:03I hate you! You're weird! I hate that you're my brother!

0:09:04 > 0:09:07'OK, so the normal amount of dramas and fallouts

0:09:07 > 0:09:08'that brothers and sisters have.'

0:09:08 > 0:09:11I'm so ashamed of you, I wish you weren't my brother!

0:09:11 > 0:09:13'But we do make it up.

0:09:16 > 0:09:18'And we always have done.'

0:09:21 > 0:09:24- 'Then there's Taylor number three.' - This is Hope.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26Your sister.

0:09:29 > 0:09:33'She's so cute. I've never lived with her, well, not yet, anyway.

0:09:33 > 0:09:34'But I'd do anything for her.'

0:09:34 > 0:09:36I won't be a minute, sweetie.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44Hello!

0:09:50 > 0:09:54'Maybe sometimes I go a tiny bit too far to make sure she's OK.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56'But when you know what it's like not to feel safe,

0:09:56 > 0:09:58'you don't want anyone you care about to be in danger.'

0:09:58 > 0:10:03Like when I thought Mum hadn't been looking after Hope properly.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06- Mike, you have to take her into care, please!- I can't do that.

0:10:06 > 0:10:10Why not?! She's a child that needs looking after, so look after her!

0:10:10 > 0:10:13- It's your job!- Tee, you know that it doesn't work like that.

0:10:13 > 0:10:15But it should!

0:10:15 > 0:10:17'I thought I was doing the right thing.

0:10:17 > 0:10:20'But looking back, even though I had meant for the best,

0:10:20 > 0:10:22'I put Mum through hell.'

0:10:22 > 0:10:25Tee, today, you made me realise something.

0:10:25 > 0:10:29I knew there was nothing I wouldn't do to get Hope back.

0:10:29 > 0:10:33And no matter what happens to me, no-one will ever hurt her.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35Never.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37Anyway, enough of that.

0:10:41 > 0:10:46OK, this might sound mad, but once I explain, you'll understand.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48Because my idea of a nightmare is playing a game

0:10:48 > 0:10:50that most people enjoy.

0:10:50 > 0:10:55It sounds silly, but hide-and-seek really creeps me out.

0:10:55 > 0:10:56It always has done.

0:10:56 > 0:10:59Yeah, she's right, it does sound a bit silly.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01Yeah, completely stupid.

0:11:04 > 0:11:07I'd be careful what you say about Tee.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10Just remember, she always gets even.

0:11:11 > 0:11:15The reason I hate hide-and-seek so much is because it reminds me

0:11:15 > 0:11:17of my stepdad, Keith.

0:11:19 > 0:11:21I'd never told anyone.

0:11:23 > 0:11:25I used to curl up in a little ball somewhere,

0:11:25 > 0:11:27hoping he wouldn't find me.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30He had the worst temper ever.

0:11:30 > 0:11:34One time, I was in the house alone

0:11:34 > 0:11:37and I could hear him pulling up outside.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40And if he found me, he'd go absolutely mental.

0:11:41 > 0:11:44Tee, you don't have to tell me this.

0:11:44 > 0:11:46I never play hide-and-seek.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49It's not the hiding part, it's getting found.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53They're coming for you and there's nothing you can do.

0:11:53 > 0:11:56'And it looked like the nightmare was starting all over again.'

0:11:56 > 0:11:58KNOCK AT DOOR / BARKING

0:12:00 > 0:12:04- Where's Mum?- Not here. Just me and my angel.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06Isn't that right, Hope? Hm?

0:12:06 > 0:12:08What, she left her with you?!

0:12:08 > 0:12:10Me and Hope are getting to know one another.

0:12:10 > 0:12:13Little star, aren't you, eh? Mwah! Eh?

0:12:13 > 0:12:15See, she loves her daddy, don't you?

0:12:15 > 0:12:19- Johnny, what are you doing here? - We were just catching up.

0:12:19 > 0:12:21Mum was convinced that this time, he'd be different.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23Like that was ever going to happen!

0:12:25 > 0:12:27- You're not wanted. - How could Mum not see through him?

0:12:29 > 0:12:30Mum, it's me!

0:12:33 > 0:12:35- You can't be here! - What happened to your face?

0:12:35 > 0:12:37He didn't mean it.

0:12:38 > 0:12:41He wouldn't leave last night. I tried to make him and...

0:12:41 > 0:12:45- Mum...- Oh, please, just go! If he finds you here...!

0:12:46 > 0:12:48Hope was screaming and I've only just calmed her down.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51- I'm not leaving. Not when you're like this.- You have to!

0:12:51 > 0:12:52Mum, I'm staying.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58'Except this time, Johnny wasn't a little kid any more.'

0:12:58 > 0:13:02- What you doing here?- Waiting for you.- Where your mum?- She's gone.

0:13:02 > 0:13:03Luce?!

0:13:03 > 0:13:05JOHNNY SIGHS

0:13:05 > 0:13:08- Where are they? - I told you, they've gone.

0:13:08 > 0:13:10Mum doesn't want you here.

0:13:10 > 0:13:12- This is down to you, isn't it? - I'm not the one who hit her.

0:13:12 > 0:13:14Is this really what you want for your daughter?

0:13:14 > 0:13:17- Leave Hope out of this.- What, seeing her mum with black eyes?

0:13:17 > 0:13:20- I'm warning you. - Tee still has nightmares.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23- That's what you'll do to Hope. - I love Hope.

0:13:23 > 0:13:25She's mine. Her and your mother.

0:13:25 > 0:13:30Funny kind of love. Bruises, black eyes, nightmares.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40Johnny was so brave. I can't tell you how proud of him I was.

0:13:40 > 0:13:43And hopefully, that's Keith gone for good.

0:13:43 > 0:13:45He was a two-faced bully.

0:13:45 > 0:13:47But as long as we look out for each other,

0:13:47 > 0:13:49we can always beat two-faced bullies.

0:13:49 > 0:13:51They don't stand a chance.

0:13:51 > 0:13:53- Hear, hear!- Well said, kid.
