0:00:02 > 0:00:04This programme contains strong language
0:00:04 > 0:00:07The freedom of your first-ever far-flung, long-haul holiday
0:00:07 > 0:00:10away with your mates, 6,000 miles away from home to Thailand,
0:00:10 > 0:00:12where booze comes in buckets...
0:00:13 > 0:00:15..boys will be boys...
0:00:16 > 0:00:18..and girls may be boys too.
0:00:18 > 0:00:19I've seen one of their willies.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21A baptism of fire,
0:00:21 > 0:00:25far from the glaring eyes of Mum and Dad.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Oh, my God. Oh, my God!
0:00:27 > 0:00:30Except in this case, the parents have come along too -
0:00:30 > 0:00:33spying on the sly...
0:00:33 > 0:00:35- Oh, my God, I can see him.- Oh!
0:00:35 > 0:00:37..secretly watching their every move.
0:00:37 > 0:00:38- Oh!- Jeez...
0:00:38 > 0:00:39Drop...
0:00:39 > 0:00:42But as the youngsters stumble merrily
0:00:42 > 0:00:44down the fast lane to independence...
0:00:44 > 0:00:45Go away!
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Look at the state of him!
0:00:47 > 0:00:49You've just got to give me a minute.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50..one way or another,
0:00:50 > 0:00:53someone is about to get...
0:00:53 > 0:00:54Is that you doing that?!
0:00:54 > 0:00:56..the shock of their lives.
0:00:56 > 0:00:57Why are you here?
0:00:57 > 0:00:58I'm not doing it.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Coming up,
0:01:02 > 0:01:06it's sun, sex and a spanking good time.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Two very different groups fly 6,000 miles away from home
0:01:09 > 0:01:13for a holiday of a lifetime in Thailand.
0:01:13 > 0:01:2020-year-old Alex flashes - and splashes - the cash,
0:01:20 > 0:01:24lapping up the ladies of Thailand on a week-long boozy bender...
0:01:25 > 0:01:27..right before his mother's eyes.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Absolutely disgusted.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31And 22-year-old unemployed Joss...
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Argh! I want to go home.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35..goes on the road to self-discovery...
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Happy that my best friend's gay as well.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40There's condoms in the hotel room - ha ha!
0:01:40 > 0:01:43..blissfully unaware his mum has come on holiday with him too.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47How will the parents cope?
0:01:47 > 0:01:49I think a lot of that was him protecting me.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51You knew what you were signing up for.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52Go away!
0:01:52 > 0:01:54And how will the kids react?
0:02:02 > 0:02:04In Huddersfield...
0:02:04 > 0:02:05How exciting. Cheers!
0:02:05 > 0:02:07..20-year-old IT consultant Alex
0:02:07 > 0:02:11lives with his mum Suzanna and her partner Paul.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14For Alex, it's all about his image.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17I love my hair. It's my pride and joy.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20It normally takes me about two hours to get ready.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22The question is, ready for what?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25We don't really know a lot about his love life.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28As long as I look good to everyone else and to myself,
0:02:28 > 0:02:29it's fine by me.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31I know he's very popular with the girls.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Extremely popular with the girls.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35My willy is huge.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38At least that big.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Alex may be obsessed with his manly measurements...
0:02:42 > 0:02:45..but at home, he's still a little boy.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Don't forget these, darling - hair remover.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51My mum definitely babies me, a lot.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Is that for your chest hair?
0:02:53 > 0:02:55- Is it?- Yeah, and my ball sack.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Don't be so rude.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59She does everything for me.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02I pretty much...take advantage of it.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Emergency, sore throat.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07In Thailand?
0:03:07 > 0:03:10I know I spoil him, but I just can't help it.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Emergency in case you fall over.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15No, it's a big plaster.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Shopping, washing, ironing,
0:03:18 > 0:03:21cleaning, polishing shoes.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24His suits have to be immaculate for work.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Put the soap in, because they probably won't have soap there.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31He is my baby, my only son, my baby.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34# I want to get my women loud in Thailand... #
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Joining Alex on his lads' holiday
0:03:36 > 0:03:39are his two best mates, Josh and Tom.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- Pissed, pissed... - Intoxicated, intoxicated and sick.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46THEY LAUGH
0:03:46 > 0:03:49The boys have heard good things about Thailand.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Thailand's pretty cheap.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Buckets, buckets of alcohol.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55You're going to pass out.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Something like £8 a bucket.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58Living at home rent-free
0:03:58 > 0:04:01means he's not short of a bit of spending money.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04I think Alexander's really good with money.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07I'm really, really, really bad with money.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- He works out his budget, doesn't he? - Yeah.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13And he never likes to go over.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Mum and Paul may have been misled.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18By the time I've got my pay cheque, it's gone.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- He'll keep it back, won't he? - Yeah.- He's good like that.
0:04:21 > 0:04:22At least Suzanna can relax,
0:04:22 > 0:04:25knowing he doesn't waste it all on beer.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27I've never seen him really drunk at all.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Money goes on booze.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36He doesn't drink at home.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42And in the week, obviously, he won't drink because he's got work.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45It's just going to be one massive party.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48I can see us being drunk most of the time we are there.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52This trip to Thailand could prove to be quite an eye-opener.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Partying, music, booze, girls.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Someone get me a shot of Jager, please.
0:04:57 > 0:05:02I think the excitement of going out to see Alexander on holiday...
0:05:02 > 0:05:03Please get me a shot of Jager...
0:05:03 > 0:05:06..will be to see what he actually does get up to.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09# Thailand! #
0:05:13 > 0:05:15The person who we describe
0:05:15 > 0:05:18isn't always the person that his friends describe.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19No kidding...
0:05:21 > 0:05:26In Kent, 22-year-old Joss lives with his mum, Penny.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29He's a natural entertainer.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33Since he was tiny, he used to make up his own plays
0:05:33 > 0:05:35and come and perform in front of you.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37You go, "That's lovely, darling, thank you!"
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Mum, make yourself a nice cup of coffee, why don't you?
0:05:40 > 0:05:41I've been in theatre school for four years.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45My massive goal and dream would be to perform on the West End stage,
0:05:45 > 0:05:48but dreams never come true.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Sometimes they do.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Check, say "Ow!"...
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Joss may have big ambitions, but a lack of self-belief
0:05:55 > 0:05:59is preventing him from fulfilling his dream.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02I've been unemployed for the last, like, seven months,
0:06:02 > 0:06:04and I absolutely hate it, oh, my God.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07I'm on Jobseekers', it's the worst thing in my life.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11You've got to find some sort of a job, because it's not just money -
0:06:11 > 0:06:14it's a sense of self-worth, it's getting up in the morning,
0:06:14 > 0:06:16it's interacting with other people.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18I know, I hate it - everyone judges me,
0:06:18 > 0:06:20going, "You're unemployed..."
0:06:20 > 0:06:22It's like you don't want a job.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26He's desperately looking for a job, he's been looking for ages,
0:06:26 > 0:06:28and he does apply and apply and apply.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30I just want to get a job. I hate...
0:06:30 > 0:06:31All I do is clean, I'm like Cinderella.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Joss is hoping Thailand will give him the confidence boost
0:06:35 > 0:06:37he so desperately needs.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Going to Thailand's definitely going to be a fresh start.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42I think it'll really restart my life,
0:06:42 > 0:06:45cos right now it's gone...downhill, and it's not good.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48It may also help boost his knowledge of geography.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Thailand's such different place.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52It's near Dubai, innit, Thailand?
0:06:52 > 0:06:53It's near Dubai.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Is Thailand near Dubai? It's not near Dubai?
0:06:56 > 0:06:57Where is Dubai?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Joss has only been abroad once,
0:06:59 > 0:07:03so mum Penny is keen to offer some parental advice.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Sexually, you have got to be very careful.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- Oh, yeah, I ain't popping nothing. - Well, just be...
0:07:07 > 0:07:10I'll bring you back a lady boy to clean the house.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11Well...
0:07:11 > 0:07:12Despite being close,
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Joss isn't open with his mum about everything.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17I'm quite a secretive person.
0:07:17 > 0:07:18I don't really tell my mum a lot of stuff
0:07:18 > 0:07:21about who I pull, who I kiss -
0:07:21 > 0:07:22I never kiss and tell.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27Bring back nothing you can't leave on the mantelpiece on full display,
0:07:27 > 0:07:30nothing that needs ongoing medical attention.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31Or...
0:07:31 > 0:07:32# La-la-la-la...! #
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Joss has found it tough dealing with his own sexuality
0:07:35 > 0:07:37and doesn't feel ready to open up.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42I think she is aware a little bit about what sexuality I am,
0:07:42 > 0:07:43but we don't really talk about it.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48He sort of told me a couple of years ago
0:07:48 > 0:07:52that he doesn't really know which way he wants to go in life.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54He's not talked about it since.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Joss was bullied at school and it knocked his confidence.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01It's really hard to do it face to face with people
0:08:01 > 0:08:02and go, "This is who I am."
0:08:02 > 0:08:05I can't even say the word, I hate the word.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07It's the fact it's a stereotype word.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10I'm still the same person, but just attracted to different people.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14Thankfully, Joss has since met some good friends at drama college
0:08:14 > 0:08:17who will be joining him on his holiday.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19My two mates are coming - one called Eman,
0:08:19 > 0:08:22he's, like, big, black, token gay guy.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- I want to try a deep-fried insect. - Oh, no...
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Give me some deep-fried insect with some chicken wings
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- and I'm good to go. - THEY LAUGH
0:08:30 > 0:08:32And my other friend, Danielle, is a brunette girl,
0:08:32 > 0:08:34really scatty, really dipsy.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38I can be sensible, but I wouldn't trust me with passports
0:08:38 > 0:08:39and things like that.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41I'm a bit clumsy, and I can lose things.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43I want to teach a lady boy how to twerk.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45THEY LAUGH
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Eman will probably pull a lady boy.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49If he was into girls, I'd be like, "Check the third leg.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51"Make sure there's not one down there."
0:08:55 > 0:08:56Despite her concerns,
0:08:56 > 0:08:58mum Penny is hoping the trip to Thailand
0:08:58 > 0:09:01will help Joss regain some self-belief.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Maybe it will open their eyes up to the world a bit more, you know?
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Make them see things a bit differently
0:09:08 > 0:09:10and see themselves differently, as well.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Bye, have fun, see you later. Have fun in Edinburgh.
0:09:15 > 0:09:16We'll see.
0:09:16 > 0:09:17Bye!
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Bye...
0:09:20 > 0:09:22See you soon.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Let's get pissed in Thailand!
0:09:24 > 0:09:26THEY CHEER
0:09:26 > 0:09:28- Love you...- Over in Huddersfield,
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Alex and his mates are saying their goodbyes.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Look after everybody.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33I'll try.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Mum Suzanna is getting a little apprehensive.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39To follow him out and see what he gets up to,
0:09:39 > 0:09:42that's both scary and exciting.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44I love you...
0:09:44 > 0:09:46'We think we know him - we may not know him at all.'
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Bye. See you.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50We're going to Thailand!
0:09:50 > 0:09:51It may not be just the kids
0:09:51 > 0:09:54who are in for the shock of their lives.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55See you in a few days.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00No trip to Thailand would be complete
0:10:00 > 0:10:03without a stopover in Bangkok.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06And 16 hours later, they arrive.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09With its high-rise buildings, heavy traffic,
0:10:09 > 0:10:11intense heat and naughty nightlife,
0:10:11 > 0:10:13it's a chance for Alex to let his hair down.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17So, Josh, how do you feel
0:10:17 > 0:10:22about seeing a girl fire a ping-pong ball out of her pussy?
0:10:22 > 0:10:23Yeah, you've got to catch them.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25If you catch 'em, I heard you get a free drink.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26A free drink if you catch them.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28In your mouth.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31As the boys check in,
0:10:31 > 0:10:34they realise anything is available in Bangkok -
0:10:34 > 0:10:36but everything has a price.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Hey, condoms!
0:10:38 > 0:10:41It's all right, we've got beer now!
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Bagsie having this one.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Alex, you can't make a bed.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49I can't make a bed to save my life.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50Get my mum to do it.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Or you.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56I only ever change my sheets when there's a bird coming round.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00I only ever change my sheets after a bird's left.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03I want them to come back again.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06I don't. I don't even ring 'em the next day.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07Player.
0:11:07 > 0:11:106,000 miles away from home,
0:11:10 > 0:11:14Joss, Eman and Danielle have landed, and are on a mission.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16I do think we should actually go out tonight
0:11:16 > 0:11:18and try and see Bangkok's nightlife.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Are you going to bang cock, though?
0:11:20 > 0:11:21What's our slogan?
0:11:21 > 0:11:24BOTH: Half nine, pulling time.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28There's just 24 hours to enjoy everything the city has to offer,
0:11:28 > 0:11:31so admiring the sights will be top of their agenda.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33THEY LAUGH
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- This is the worst view... - What am I looking at?
0:11:36 > 0:11:39I bet your parents' house is better than this view.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42Very interesting.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46I'm going to get the vodka out, I've had enough already.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48- Are you starting already?- Yeah.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51All right, you might as well start me up -
0:11:51 > 0:11:53pour me some, pour me some.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Get off me! Off my bed!
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Night descends,
0:11:59 > 0:12:02and the Yorkshire boys prepare for a night on the town.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07When you're in this with some nice Thai bird tonight,
0:12:07 > 0:12:09I'm just going to fold you both up in it.
0:12:09 > 0:12:10Get off me!
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Don't break the mattress.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Josh is going to get some pussy. He's not very fussy.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Where are we going?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- Tuk tuk!- Tuk tuk!- Tuk tuk!
0:12:23 > 0:12:29- Tuk tuk!- Tuk tuk!- Tuk tuk! Tuk...
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Argh! There's a fucking car!
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Whoo! Hiya!
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Oh, Jesus, don't turn like that!
0:12:36 > 0:12:38This is mental, ow!
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Jesus Christ, my head!
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Oh, my hair, my hair's going all over the place.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Every time we turn, I feel like I'm going to tip over.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52With the wind in their hair and the sweet smell of Thai air,
0:12:52 > 0:12:55there's only one thing on their minds.
0:12:55 > 0:12:56Wow, look at her.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59We want pussy, we want pussy.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Pussy - where's the best place for pussy in the whole of Thailand?
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Possibly here.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Girls on the pole on the sign.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11I hope it's not lady boys on a pole, I swear to God.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15# One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
0:13:15 > 0:13:20# The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free... #
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Alex is true to his words.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Another tequila.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27As the girls flash their pants, he's splashing his cash.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30I'm a big spender.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33Big spender.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36# "Pound The Alarm" by Nicki Minaj
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Argh! Look at that, mate!
0:13:49 > 0:13:52His mum thinks he spends his money wisely.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54She may have second thoughts when she sees this.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00I'll flash my cash
0:14:00 > 0:14:05and I'll put money where my mouth is
0:14:05 > 0:14:11and I'll put money...where...where their knickers are.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13I don't really care, like.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25There's so many Thai birds.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29I don't know if they're men or women.
0:14:29 > 0:14:30But...
0:14:33 > 0:14:35..I hope they're women.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39I'm not going to take any girl home, that's not my plan, but...
0:14:40 > 0:14:43We'll see how the...the...
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Oh, I'm so drunk.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47We'll see how the night goes.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Well, if Tom's behaviour is anything to go by,
0:14:50 > 0:14:53it could get pretty messy.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57Meanwhile, uptown, there is a show of a different kind.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Joss, Eman and Danielle
0:15:00 > 0:15:04have come to see Bangkok's spectacular lady-boy cabaret.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09They are stunning, they are really, really stunning.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11You look at them and go, "Wow."
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Some of them have still got a dick.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15I'm a bit, like, "I can see your bulge.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17"Oh, my God, what is going on downstairs?"
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Looking good upstairs - downstairs, not working.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Accepted and celebrated in Thai culture,
0:15:27 > 0:15:30the lady boys have left Joss full of admiration
0:15:30 > 0:15:34for the country's liberal attitudes towards sexuality.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- Hurry up, go!- Go and... - Go, stop being...
0:15:37 > 0:15:40They have got a lot of guts, for being who they are,
0:15:40 > 0:15:42"This is who I am," on stage, kind of thing,
0:15:42 > 0:15:46and all these people here are giving their support,
0:15:46 > 0:15:48going, "Do you know what? This is you."
0:15:48 > 0:15:49They're loving it.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52And another feature of Bangkok's liberal attitude
0:15:52 > 0:15:55is its diverse choice of nightlife.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58# Y-M-C-A
0:15:58 > 0:16:01# It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A... #
0:16:16 > 0:16:20Joss and Eman show the locals a few moves.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23And as the party moves up a gear,
0:16:23 > 0:16:25it's time for Eman to teach them how to twerk.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42It appears twerking is something these Thai men
0:16:42 > 0:16:44are already pretty good at,
0:16:44 > 0:16:47and by the looks of it - unlike Eman -
0:16:47 > 0:16:49could probably do all night.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53As the party heats up and the clothes come off,
0:16:53 > 0:16:57Joss isn't quite ready for the gay nightlife of Bangkok.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59We've got dignity, bye!
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- Someone tried to pull me... - It was like, "Come dance with me..."
0:17:03 > 0:17:05- And I was like...- "Cheeky baby!"
0:17:05 > 0:17:07"No, sorry, sorry."
0:17:07 > 0:17:10That's why the dancing happened, cos I didn't like the fact...
0:17:10 > 0:17:11Sorry, no.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15A heavy twerking session might be enough to put Joss off his appetite,
0:17:15 > 0:17:19but not Eman, who's keen to try out some traditional delicacies.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21What's the best one to eat?
0:17:21 > 0:17:22VENDOR: Scorpion.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- Scorpion?! - Yeah, it tastes of chicken.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29- All right, I'll have a scorpion... - No way!
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Whoo! I think that's all I can eat.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36I didn't realise you could proper see them.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Oh, my... Look at that!
0:17:41 > 0:17:42All right, ready.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45A fried grasshopper isn't most people's first choice
0:17:45 > 0:17:46for a starter.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Oh! Crunches!
0:17:48 > 0:17:50- What does it taste like? - It actually crunches.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Tastes like shrimp.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55But then it's small fry compared to eating a scorpion.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57I'm scared about this one.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- Oh...- Do I take the legs off? - That looks like it's still alive.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01You eat the whole thing.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03I can't even touch it.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Three, two, one, go!
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Oh!
0:18:12 > 0:18:14What does it taste like?
0:18:14 > 0:18:16- Tastes like chicken?- Yeah.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18- Are you enjoying it?- Yeah... No.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20- Would you eat it again?- No.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22That is disgusting.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Well done, Emmanuel, well done.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26No, I'm not eating it, sorry. I can't do it.
0:18:28 > 0:18:29Are you OK?
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Are you going to be sick?
0:18:32 > 0:18:34HE GAGS
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Thankfully, Eman is fine,
0:18:37 > 0:18:40which is more than can be said for Alex and Josh.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42- Third floor. - Want me to call the lift?
0:18:42 > 0:18:45What was it Alex's mum said about him not being a drinker at home?
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Well, he's certainly making up for it in Bangkok.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51You're fine, you're fine.
0:18:51 > 0:18:5412:15am and determined not to call it a night,
0:18:54 > 0:18:56he's come up with a cunning plan.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Tactical chunder...
0:19:02 > 0:19:08..which means, erm...I'm going to throw up on purpose
0:19:08 > 0:19:11so I can drink more and go out for longer.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Are you being sick? Are you being sick?
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Even if it's water, it'll make you feel better.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19No shit...
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Do you want some water?
0:19:27 > 0:19:28Don't you feel better now?
0:19:32 > 0:19:33Keep going, keep going...
0:19:33 > 0:19:34Unfortunately for Alex,
0:19:34 > 0:19:37his tactical chunder idea has gone down the pan.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45The next morning, a worse-for-wear Alex
0:19:45 > 0:19:47is trying recollect what happened...
0:19:47 > 0:19:48HE GROANS
0:19:48 > 0:19:50..and where all his money has gone.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52What the fuck happened last night?
0:19:52 > 0:19:56Out of 7,000, I've got 1,000 left.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Oh, no...
0:19:58 > 0:19:59I don't have anything.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03I've lost the rest of my cash.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Do you not remember buying all the strippers drinks last night
0:20:05 > 0:20:07and shoving money down their pants?
0:20:07 > 0:20:11You've spent 6,000 baht and you've been putting money in knickers.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15I definitely wasn't shoving money down anyone's pants.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16That didn't happen.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26It's the end of their brief city stopover,
0:20:26 > 0:20:28as both groups head to their next destination,
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Koh Samui.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34I don't think it's sunk in that I'm around the world.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37I do genuinely think I'm in, like, London, still.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38When you think, "I'm 12 hours away,
0:20:38 > 0:20:41"there's not a family member around at all..."
0:20:41 > 0:20:44I think I'll get to the island and think, "Oh, my God, where's Mum?"
0:20:44 > 0:20:48Unbeknownst to Joss, his mum is closer than he thinks.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Landing on the beautiful island of Koh Samui
0:20:51 > 0:20:54are Penny and her partner Roberto,
0:20:54 > 0:20:58along with Alex's mum Suzanna and her partner Paul.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00- Hi! Suzanna.- Penny...
0:21:00 > 0:21:06To think he has no idea I'm here is just...
0:21:06 > 0:21:07It's bizarre.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10I hope he has come up with an itinerary
0:21:10 > 0:21:14- and looked at a few things... - Taken in the culture.
0:21:14 > 0:21:15Taken in the culture.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Alex has certainly taken in some culture,
0:21:18 > 0:21:20but maybe not what his mum had in mind.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22And now, along with Joss's parents,
0:21:22 > 0:21:24they are about to see what their kids have been up to
0:21:24 > 0:21:26for the first time.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28OK...here we go.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30First up is Alex.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34- What'll we get up to?- I don't know. - What shall we do?
0:21:34 > 0:21:36- Ping-pong shows.- Yeah!
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Girls spread out like that, firing ping pongs...
0:21:39 > 0:21:42THEY LAUGH
0:21:42 > 0:21:44If you catch them, I heard you get a free drink.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46A free drink if you catch them.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48In your mouth.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49Oh, God...
0:21:52 > 0:21:54- Is that him there?- Yeah. - Is that Alexander?
0:22:00 > 0:22:01He's paying money?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Not for a dance, or something?
0:22:08 > 0:22:11- What, the three of them...? - Giving them drinks or something.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14Yes!
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Naughty!
0:22:20 > 0:22:22It looked all right. They were enjoying it, weren't they?
0:22:22 > 0:22:25All still together. All together...
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Do you think they were girls or boys or...?
0:22:28 > 0:22:30- They looked like girls, they were girls.- Really?
0:22:30 > 0:22:33The only thing that was bulging was the shorts,
0:22:33 > 0:22:34the amount of money he was putting in.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36THEY LAUGH
0:22:36 > 0:22:38I was wondering where his money all went.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42- Now we know, don't we?- Yes. - Incredible.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43OK, let's go...
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Penny has a close relationship with Joss
0:22:46 > 0:22:49and hopes his Thailand experience will help boost his confidence.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51- Let's go, Joss.- Let's see.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57He's posing with them there! Bless him!
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Some of them look amazing,
0:22:59 > 0:23:01but I noticed some of them still have a dick.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03I'm a bit, like, "I can see your bulge."
0:23:03 > 0:23:05THEY LAUGH
0:23:08 > 0:23:10- PAUL:- He's going for it...
0:23:17 > 0:23:19THEY LAUGH
0:23:28 > 0:23:29- He doesn't want to know.- No.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- He really doesn't want to know. - They want to go, now.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33- They're uncomfortable. - They've had their fun.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36We've got dignity, bye.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38"We've got dignity"!
0:23:38 > 0:23:40- Oh, wonderful. - Brilliant.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43They've had fun and they're happy, so...that's good.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Let's go.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47'He's only been abroad once before.'
0:23:47 > 0:23:51He's not seen anything, really, other than England,
0:23:51 > 0:23:55so it's just such a huge shock to him,
0:23:55 > 0:23:56and I knew it would be.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58And there's more to come,
0:23:58 > 0:24:03as both groups finally arrive on this tropical island paradise.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Welcome to Samui. Whoo!
0:24:06 > 0:24:11Koh Samui, the original party destination of Thailand.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15Full of bars, buckets of booze and all-day beach benders.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19All you need is a hell of a lot of stamina
0:24:19 > 0:24:21and a bit of cash in your wallet.
0:24:24 > 0:24:25Just didn't give me any cash.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- Serious?- Did it take your card?
0:24:30 > 0:24:31No, I got my card back.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Try a different one. It might have been rigged.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38Sadly, it looks like Alex has blown his budget already.
0:24:42 > 0:24:43Fuck!
0:24:43 > 0:24:45The bank has cancelled my card.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51So, after checking my balance, I could not get money out anywhere.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Pissing me off.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58Having checked in,
0:24:58 > 0:25:02Joss and Danielle's big night out has also been put on hold by Eman,
0:25:02 > 0:25:06who has just spent the last half hour on the loo.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08That was horrible.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Not the kind of party
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Penny and Roberto were quite expecting to spy on
0:25:13 > 0:25:16as they listen in from the balcony directly above.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Eman, how did you get sick?
0:25:19 > 0:25:22PENNY: Emmanuel's been ill.
0:25:22 > 0:25:27It was either the scorpions or...
0:25:27 > 0:25:29He's been eating insects, that's what's made him sick.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Grasshopper. It was either the scorpion or the grasshopper.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Oh, they've been eating all sorts of stuff.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Why did I eat it?
0:25:37 > 0:25:39THEY LAUGH
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Stay in tonight, get better, and do a big, full day tomorrow.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Because Emmanuel's not well, they're going to stay home.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47- Yeah.- Yeah. Stay at home.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50With nothing much to see or hear apart from Eman's bowel movements,
0:25:50 > 0:25:54Penny and Roberto make a not-so-quiet getaway.
0:25:55 > 0:25:56I just need to sleep.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02ROBERTO KNOCKS
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Who's that?
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Don't know. Find out.
0:26:06 > 0:26:07That's your boyfriend...
0:26:07 > 0:26:09- Go on, then, Joss. - No, you go, you get it...
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Oh, you - oh, my God, you're a pair of...
0:26:13 > 0:26:16PENNY: I thought we were going to get caught, I really did.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18We just legged it, fast as we could go.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20- That's true.- I want my cocoa!
0:26:25 > 0:26:26There's no-one there.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Oh...Danielle, get back to your little bed.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31What was that about?
0:26:31 > 0:26:33I ain't going out now, it might be some mass murderer.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Oh, my God!
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Alex has just had a scare of his own.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41I'm spending a fucking fortune.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Having checked his bank account,
0:26:43 > 0:26:47he's just realised he spent his entire £500 budget
0:26:47 > 0:26:48all on the first night.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Oh...
0:26:50 > 0:26:51His mum won't be impressed.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Oh, I'm gutted.
0:26:53 > 0:26:54I might have to extend my overdraft.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00A man's got to do what he's got to do.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Fuck it, let's go out.
0:27:05 > 0:27:10Overdraft extended, problem solved - time to party.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14# "Drinking From The Bottle" by Calvin Harris feat Tinie Tempah
0:27:25 > 0:27:26A few hours in,
0:27:26 > 0:27:28and Alex steps outside for a breather.
0:27:31 > 0:27:32Just walked down the road
0:27:32 > 0:27:37and two girls said, "Thai massage, happy ending."
0:27:38 > 0:27:41I'm pretty sure happy ending in Thailand is...
0:27:42 > 0:27:44..something to do with your penis.
0:27:47 > 0:27:48I'm not going to see.
0:27:50 > 0:27:51Tom might.
0:27:52 > 0:27:53I'm not.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57They could ask Tom - if only they could find him.
0:27:59 > 0:28:00Where the fuck's Tom?
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Mate, seriously - Tom's disappeared, again.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08With hundreds of bars, restaurants and massage parlours,
0:28:08 > 0:28:09Tom could be anywhere.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15I guarantee Tom is at Sound Club down here.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17If he's not, I'm going home.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19We'll give up. Leave him to it.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21He'll find his own way home, I don't give a shit.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25After a fruitless search,
0:28:25 > 0:28:27the lads call it a night and head home.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31He's a lad, like. He can look after himself.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33- He knows how to find his way.- Yeah.
0:28:34 > 0:28:39I reckon he's just been sick again and I'm pretty sure he'll find us.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42I'm hoping so, anyway, like...
0:28:43 > 0:28:46If he doesn't, I'll be pretty...pretty worried.
0:28:50 > 0:28:51It's a new day,
0:28:51 > 0:28:54and Joss is still nursing his best friend Eman.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59- Eman, are you praying? - Pardon?- Are you praying?
0:28:59 > 0:29:01EMAN MUMBLES
0:29:01 > 0:29:04You've had diarrhoea on day one of your holiday.
0:29:04 > 0:29:05Yeah.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10- Is it coming out of you like lava? - Yeah.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12Oh...that is a shitty bum.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14Hopefully, plans for a day out
0:29:14 > 0:29:16haven't gone completely down the drain.
0:29:16 > 0:29:20Um...I think I'll be able to go, but we just need to make sure
0:29:20 > 0:29:24that we know all toilets are available and free
0:29:24 > 0:29:26on the elephant ride.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30THEY LAUGH
0:29:37 > 0:29:39Oh, God, is that their poo? That's huge.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41- They're big animals. - But their poo is huge.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45- You look like you're so comfortable up there.- Yeah?
0:29:45 > 0:29:47- You're born to ride an elephant. - Yep.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49You've both got big schlongs.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51Good friend Eman is concerned about Joss
0:29:51 > 0:29:54and his struggles with his confidence.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58I'm a little bit worried about Joss, because I feel like he needs
0:29:58 > 0:30:02to focus on himself, like, what does he want, what is his sexuality?
0:30:02 > 0:30:07He hasn't had a proper job, he's never been in a proper relationship.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11And it's literally, like, a bubble world.
0:30:11 > 0:30:17- Do you feel like you're at home? - Yeah!- Here comes Aladdin! Whoo!
0:30:17 > 0:30:19I was born to ride Jumbo!
0:30:19 > 0:30:24The day he admits who he is, as a sexuality,
0:30:24 > 0:30:27he will be so much happier, and he won't care what other...
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Like, he says he don't care what other people think about him,
0:30:30 > 0:30:33but you can see in his eyes that he does.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38You back off! You bugger.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41Having a bit of a freshen-up now, just feel a bit dirty.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43- Feel minging. - Do you want some more?- Yeah.
0:30:43 > 0:30:48- This is why it's good, hanging around gay guys!- Well, one gay.- Another gay.
0:30:48 > 0:30:53- One gay. Fag hags. One gay and fag hags.- Mind you...- Shut up.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56'People who have relationships, they know what their type is.'
0:30:56 > 0:30:59Because I haven't been in relationships,
0:30:59 > 0:31:01I don't think I've developed or found a type.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03So, I'm still in the whole whirlwind situation of,
0:31:03 > 0:31:05"Aargh!," kind of thing, "I just don't know!"
0:31:05 > 0:31:10- It's great, hanging around with a gay.- A gay! A gay! Fag hags.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13I'm sorry, but I'm happy my best friend is gay, as well.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15Basically, Eman is a poof.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17JOSS SQUEALS
0:31:17 > 0:31:21Whilst Joss is slowly beginning to regain his confidence,
0:31:21 > 0:31:24Alex has found Tom, and a new way to spend his money.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26How much is jet skiing?
0:31:26 > 0:31:31- But what he doesn't realise is he is being followed.- 1,000?
0:31:34 > 0:31:36Can we have 25 minutes for the same price?
0:31:36 > 0:31:38And whilst the boys haggle,
0:31:38 > 0:31:42Suzanna and Paul are spying from a beach villa just yards away.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44This is for one.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49- Have to draw some more money out. - More money!
0:31:49 > 0:31:53This is incredible, they're just, like, feet away.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55I love shit like this.
0:31:55 > 0:32:02I'm all about danger and extreme sports.
0:32:07 > 0:32:12- How fab is that? Look! - I know! Which one's Alexander?
0:32:12 > 0:32:15The one at the front is Alexander. He's coming in, turning now.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19He's doing that show-off turn now.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23Yes, he'll be probably trying to jump over that flag.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27- Darling, darling, it's Mummy! - Here's Mummy!
0:32:27 > 0:32:30He's not putting his money into a pair of knickers,
0:32:30 > 0:32:33- he's putting it into an engine. Oh, fabulous.- Is that relief?
0:32:33 > 0:32:37- You're holding onto your heart!- No, no, I'm just waiting. Just waiting.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42Further down the beach, Joss is admiring the views.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45Maybe he's found his type, after all.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48There's a bit of eye candy!
0:32:48 > 0:32:51- There's condoms in the hotel room. - HE GIGGLES
0:32:51 > 0:32:55If ever I pull on holiday, there's a bathroom,
0:32:55 > 0:32:57so I'd have to go in the bathroom.
0:32:58 > 0:33:02Or, um, if Eman likes, he can join.
0:33:02 > 0:33:07Three in the bed and the little one said, roll over! That's what I say.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12No, I'm a good boy, I'm a good boy. I won't do nothing like that.
0:33:12 > 0:33:17Whilst Joss manages to show some restraint, Alex doesn't have
0:33:17 > 0:33:21a care in the world, as he dives into an all-day pool party bender.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26Not quite the cultural injection his mum was really hoping for.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30DANCE MUSIC PLAYS
0:33:44 > 0:33:48As the party gets going, it's not long before the money comes out
0:33:48 > 0:33:50and the champagne starts flowing.
0:33:52 > 0:33:57We're getting bottles of champagne. Pretty expensive, but...
0:33:57 > 0:34:01Champagne! It's all about the champagne.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03We love the champagne.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08It looks like Alex isn't too worried about his overdraft.
0:34:08 > 0:34:12All he wants to do is splash out, show off and enjoy himself.
0:34:16 > 0:34:22There is something about the air, I think it makes you even more drunk.
0:34:22 > 0:34:23I'm really drunk.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32Up the beach, Joss and Eman are having their own crazy pool party.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36Right, we're going to have a challenge, to see
0:34:36 > 0:34:39who can hold their breath for longest. Three, two, one!
0:34:46 > 0:34:49Thailand really does seem to be boosting Joss's confidence.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51I feel really comfortable here,
0:34:51 > 0:34:53I've enjoyed every single moment of being here.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56The fact that I was in the pool with my top off, like,
0:34:56 > 0:34:58that's the first time I've done that for ages, like,
0:34:58 > 0:35:02so, yeah, obviously, I must feel really comfortable, being here.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06Joss is comfortable, and cunning!
0:35:07 > 0:35:09That's a fucking lie!
0:35:13 > 0:35:14JOSS GASPS
0:35:14 > 0:35:17It has been hard, growing up, it's been a hard journey,
0:35:17 > 0:35:20hard journey to find out who I am right now.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22'When I think about saying things,
0:35:22 > 0:35:25'always get flashbacks of what happened in school, kind of thing.'
0:35:25 > 0:35:28I got bullied at school, nastily, like.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32Things that happened to me, like, I was bricked, I was stabbed,
0:35:32 > 0:35:36I was set on fire, I can't remember one single day of school where...
0:35:36 > 0:35:38I was happy.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41It's like, I remember every single day, getting, like,
0:35:41 > 0:35:44pushed down the stairs and dragged across the corridors.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47It was nasty, it was horrible, but without that happening,
0:35:47 > 0:35:49I wouldn't be the stronger person I am today.
0:35:49 > 0:35:53I just feel refreshed, as such, refreshed to go back
0:35:53 > 0:35:57and just go, "This is the time to knuckle down."
0:36:00 > 0:36:01Back at the pool party,
0:36:01 > 0:36:05the lads have been drinking for eight hours solid.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07And all social barriers have come down.
0:36:19 > 0:36:25Ko Samui is fucking awesome! I want to stay here. I want to live here.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29I want to party every fucking night.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33Alex has finally pulled. Twice.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45And on a quest to take it further,
0:36:45 > 0:36:49he's been splashing his cash on endless rounds of tequila.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01There's one brunette that I've had my eye on.
0:37:01 > 0:37:06I don't know her name, so... I've been buying her drinks.
0:37:06 > 0:37:10I don't give a shit. If I get there, I get there.
0:37:10 > 0:37:15His generosity has paid off, as Alex heads back to his hotel room
0:37:15 > 0:37:18accompanied by the girl with no name.
0:37:18 > 0:37:19Aah!
0:37:19 > 0:37:22- That's called rape, in my country!- What's called rape?
0:37:22 > 0:37:25- Tackling someone to your bed! - She loves it.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28She might love it, but you need to ask her first.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32Things progress to the shower.
0:37:34 > 0:37:35Whoo!
0:37:38 > 0:37:40Oh, me!
0:37:40 > 0:37:44As Alex performs, what he doesn't realise is that the girl with
0:37:44 > 0:37:46no name has just made a sharp exit.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51But ever the exhibitionist, he decides to show the whole hotel
0:37:51 > 0:37:52what she's missing.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02Across town, Joss, Eman and Danielle have made it out
0:38:02 > 0:38:07and are ready to hit the dizzy heights of drunkenness.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10I think it makes you drunk quicker, with your head spinning,
0:38:10 > 0:38:12it makes you more dizzy and you feel a bit tipsy for a few seconds.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16Fuelled by booze, they hit the dance floor.
0:38:16 > 0:38:21DANCE MUSIC PLAYS
0:38:23 > 0:38:25And they are not the only ones dancing.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28Across town, Alex has got his clothes back on.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31But what he doesn't realise is that mum Suzanna
0:38:31 > 0:38:35and partner Paul have also arrived.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38This music's banging, mate!
0:38:38 > 0:38:40I love the music here.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43As they settle in for a late-night peepshow in the manager's office,
0:38:43 > 0:38:47Alex has no idea they are watching his every move.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54Look, he's right in the middle!
0:38:56 > 0:38:58- Yes! - THEY LAUGH
0:38:58 > 0:39:02Thailand's amazing. I want to stay here. The clubs are great.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05He's still saying that Thailand is amazing.
0:39:05 > 0:39:09He's not seen anything other than the inside of the bars!
0:39:09 > 0:39:12Other than wishing Alex would enjoy some culture,
0:39:12 > 0:39:15he can do no wrong in his mother's eyes.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18He's not even drinking that much, is he?
0:39:18 > 0:39:21What's that big jug, in front of him?
0:39:21 > 0:39:25That jug is an extremely strong cocktail in a two-litre bucket.
0:39:25 > 0:39:30Yet mum Suzanna believes Alex is just a little worn out.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32I think he's really tired.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36I wish he'd stop dancing, because I think he's just showing off now.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39No, he's exhausted. I know what it's like.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Look, he's holding onto the bar, he's tired.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46He's just doing... Yeah, he's doing it.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49He feels he's got to keep on going.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55Drinking by the bucketload is clearly exhausting.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59Actually, he's really, really tired. He's collapsed, really.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04He is El Collapso!
0:40:04 > 0:40:08Suzanna's not shocked, but spying on Alex has got her thinking.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11I need to work on myself, really, it's stupid.
0:40:12 > 0:40:18It's me that has the changing to do, the letting go,
0:40:18 > 0:40:20the undoing of the apron strings.
0:40:20 > 0:40:24He's fine, he's having a good time, he has to realise for himself.
0:40:27 > 0:40:31We've had enough spying, let's go. Let's go and leave him happy.
0:40:37 > 0:40:41It's a new day on Ko Samui and the parents have had time to reflect.
0:40:41 > 0:40:45Despite seeing Alex being unable to control his drinking
0:40:45 > 0:40:50or his finances, his mum is still refusing to stop the mollycoddling.
0:40:50 > 0:40:56I am absolutely not changing, at all, in my original ideas
0:40:56 > 0:41:02and how I baby my son, because I'm not ready to cut the apron strings.
0:41:02 > 0:41:06Joss's mum hopes he can at last regain some self belief.
0:41:06 > 0:41:12I'm hoping to see him happy, and going forward,
0:41:12 > 0:41:15more confident to go back and pick up his life and start again.
0:41:15 > 0:41:19Right, OK, Joss is up first, let's see what he's up to.
0:41:22 > 0:41:23I feel really comfortable here,
0:41:23 > 0:41:25like, I've enjoyed every single moment of being here.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27Yesterday, I was in the pool with my top off,
0:41:27 > 0:41:29that's the first time I've done that in ages.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32- Right, we are going to have a challenge.- Oh, no, not a challenge!
0:41:32 > 0:41:34Who can hold their breath the longest?
0:41:34 > 0:41:36My God, Joss with no top on, unbelievable!
0:41:39 > 0:41:41THEY LAUGH
0:41:41 > 0:41:44What a cheat!
0:41:44 > 0:41:48- What a cheat!- My relationship with my mum is really strong,
0:41:48 > 0:41:50but I don't tell her as much as I should tell her.
0:41:50 > 0:41:51I don't think she needs to know
0:41:51 > 0:41:54everything about the homosexuality side.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57I got bullied at school, nastily, like.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Like, I remember every single day, getting, like, pushed down
0:42:00 > 0:42:02the stairs and dragged across the corridors.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05It was nasty, it was horrible, but without that happening,
0:42:05 > 0:42:07I wouldn't be the stronger person that I am today.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Oh, isn't that emotional? That's emotional for me!
0:42:10 > 0:42:13I know he had a really tough time at school.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15At one point, he was really, really badly bullied at school,
0:42:15 > 0:42:18and he came home really beaten and...
0:42:22 > 0:42:26- He's very strong.- Good, yes. - He's really strong inside.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33He said he didn't speak to me as much as he should.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35I think he knew if he told me
0:42:35 > 0:42:39what was going on and how he was feeling, it would upset me.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41But he said he didn't know himself.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44- No, but I think a lot of that was him protecting me, as well.- Yeah.
0:42:44 > 0:42:49- So... Oh, God. This is a... - Gosh! This is really emotional.
0:42:49 > 0:42:50Pass the tissues!
0:42:51 > 0:42:54I hope Alex hasn't got his head down the toilet again!
0:42:54 > 0:42:56THEY LAUGH
0:42:56 > 0:42:59I said before I came that coming to Thailand would definitely
0:42:59 > 0:43:00make me think about what I want to do
0:43:00 > 0:43:03when I get back to my home life, and definitely, it has made
0:43:03 > 0:43:07a massive, massive impact on me, to go back and go, "Right, this is it."
0:43:07 > 0:43:09- Oh, fantastic.- "It's crunch time, this is what I need to do."
0:43:09 > 0:43:11Fantastic.
0:43:13 > 0:43:17Oh, that's brilliant, he's really... This has been such a journey.
0:43:17 > 0:43:20- And inspirational.- Yeah, amazing.
0:43:20 > 0:43:25He's got more out of it than I could ever have hoped for, he really has.
0:43:25 > 0:43:27Oh, I'm just made up for him, I really am.
0:43:27 > 0:43:31I just hoped he would just have a really brilliant holiday,
0:43:31 > 0:43:34but he's got so much more out of this.
0:43:34 > 0:43:36- Amazing.- Good mum!
0:43:36 > 0:43:39I don't really want to see what I saw last night again!
0:43:39 > 0:43:43He'll be fine. Let's have a look.
0:43:46 > 0:43:49That is disgusting, why is he drinking so quickly?
0:43:52 > 0:43:55I don't... I'm not happy with that. Looks stupid.
0:43:56 > 0:43:59- Oh, Alexander! - It's not funny, is it?
0:44:01 > 0:44:02I'm not liking this.
0:44:02 > 0:44:05SHE GASPS
0:44:07 > 0:44:10- Oh, my God! - You didn't know he smoked, did you?
0:44:10 > 0:44:13Oh, my God, oh, my God. He's got a cigarette.
0:44:15 > 0:44:18- Oh, my God, I'm absolutely disgusted. - Are you all right?
0:44:18 > 0:44:21Disgusted with him. Did you know?
0:44:23 > 0:44:26- Did you know?- I know nothing! - No, no, don't be silly.
0:44:26 > 0:44:31- I don't know anything, no! - Come on, let's see the rest.
0:44:35 > 0:44:36What's she doing?
0:44:56 > 0:44:59I just don't like being a fly on the wall any more.
0:44:59 > 0:45:02- You're not seeing what you expected? - Why? What's wrong with it?
0:45:02 > 0:45:05- What do you mean, "What's wrong with it?"- He's just having fun.
0:45:05 > 0:45:07I'm upset about him smoking, I'm upset about seeing him
0:45:07 > 0:45:12shoving pints of beer back just like that.
0:45:12 > 0:45:13Why is he doing that?
0:45:13 > 0:45:16He's just got caught up in the whole scene.
0:45:16 > 0:45:19- No, no, that's beyond it. - He's at a pool party, Suzanna.
0:45:19 > 0:45:21You don't see any of the other guys doing that.
0:45:21 > 0:45:25- He's at a pool party. - Oh, Paul, just go away, please.
0:45:28 > 0:45:30You don't want to press play?
0:45:30 > 0:45:31I don't want you to speak to me.
0:45:34 > 0:45:37- OK.- You ready? You going to do it?- Yeah.
0:45:37 > 0:45:39Everybody? OK, let's do it.
0:45:42 > 0:45:44Ugh!
0:45:48 > 0:45:49Wooo!
0:45:55 > 0:45:56PAUL CHUCKLES
0:46:04 > 0:46:05You all right?
0:46:08 > 0:46:11Well, it's not like yours, is it?
0:46:12 > 0:46:15He's got in a shower with a girl, I think it's the dream.
0:46:15 > 0:46:18They're just... They're different groups of kids
0:46:18 > 0:46:21coming away with different...
0:46:21 > 0:46:24agendas, aren't they? It's going to be different.
0:46:24 > 0:46:26Be thankful he's got a big penis.
0:46:26 > 0:46:28Oh, Paul! Just go away, please!
0:46:30 > 0:46:33You just think this is so funny, just go away!
0:46:33 > 0:46:35It's not funny for Suze.
0:46:35 > 0:46:38Just go away, really, honestly, you really upset me.
0:46:38 > 0:46:39You are upsetting me.
0:46:46 > 0:46:51I'm not prepared for, erm, seeing him
0:46:51 > 0:46:54sort of just pick up a girl, just like that.
0:46:54 > 0:46:57At least he hasn't paid for the girl, he's...
0:46:57 > 0:46:58Paul! Please! You're saying...
0:46:58 > 0:47:00- I don't want this on there, guys. - I'm going to go now,
0:47:00 > 0:47:03- cos whatever I say... - Everything he's saying,
0:47:03 > 0:47:05Philip will go ballistic about it.
0:47:05 > 0:47:08- I don't give a fucking bollocks about Philip.- Oh, go away!
0:47:08 > 0:47:09Fucking bollocks.
0:47:09 > 0:47:11Talk shit.
0:47:11 > 0:47:13- The man's out on holiday, end of story.- Just go away.
0:47:13 > 0:47:15Yeah, yeah.
0:47:15 > 0:47:17You knew what you were signing up for.
0:47:17 > 0:47:18He's having some fun.
0:47:18 > 0:47:21- It's not Alexander. - Shut up, not interested.
0:47:25 > 0:47:28Just really felt that Suzanna was just overreacting
0:47:28 > 0:47:31a bit too much, but I do understand
0:47:31 > 0:47:33why she's like that, because...
0:47:33 > 0:47:36she's very mothering towards Alexander,
0:47:36 > 0:47:38she's very protective over him.
0:47:44 > 0:47:46Unaware of the commotion he's caused,
0:47:46 > 0:47:49Alex heads to the beach to enjoy the sunset.
0:47:51 > 0:47:54- I think we need to do more during the day.- We definitely do.
0:47:54 > 0:47:57We need to stop getting so drunk at night because we're getting up...
0:47:57 > 0:48:00- We still need to ride an elephant. - We're wasting a lot of time,
0:48:00 > 0:48:02and that elephant's not going to ride itself, is it?
0:48:02 > 0:48:05After recovering from the shock of the morning's viewing,
0:48:05 > 0:48:09Alex's mum, Suzanna, is now looking forward to revealing the truth
0:48:09 > 0:48:12and giving Alex the surprise of his life.
0:48:12 > 0:48:14ADOPTS ACCENT: Mama! Papa! Shopping!
0:48:16 > 0:48:19I think this is going to be a mother-and son moment.
0:48:19 > 0:48:23I'm excited about surprising him, certainly on this beach here,
0:48:23 > 0:48:25and certainly in disguise.
0:48:25 > 0:48:29And I think the reason I'm on my own is because it is just for us,
0:48:29 > 0:48:32that moment, and I don't need anyone else to be here.
0:48:32 > 0:48:35A moment Alex might not be quite so prepared for.
0:48:35 > 0:48:39- I really wish I knew my phone number, as well! - LAUGHING
0:48:40 > 0:48:44Obviously we haven't brought phones because it was expensive...
0:48:44 > 0:48:47- Shopping? - I don't have a phone number.
0:48:47 > 0:48:49Shopping, shopping?
0:48:49 > 0:48:51- No thank you.- Cheap!- No, no.
0:48:51 > 0:48:55- Shopping?- No, sorry. - Very cheap.
0:48:55 > 0:48:57Cheap for take-off.
0:48:57 > 0:48:58Oh, it's my mum.
0:48:58 > 0:49:01- It's your mum!- Shopping!
0:49:01 > 0:49:02Mum?!
0:49:11 > 0:49:12No!
0:49:14 > 0:49:15- Was it brilliant?- "Shopping!"
0:49:17 > 0:49:20I thought you were just some crazy Thai!
0:49:20 > 0:49:22You actually look like one!
0:49:24 > 0:49:26I've watched everything.
0:49:26 > 0:49:29- Gallons of alcohol... - I've been stitched up.
0:49:29 > 0:49:31Money in the knickers...
0:49:33 > 0:49:34Were you there?
0:49:34 > 0:49:36I was the stripper that you put the money in my knickers.
0:49:36 > 0:49:38ARGH! Fff...
0:49:40 > 0:49:42What about the cigarettes?
0:49:42 > 0:49:44Ahhh....
0:49:45 > 0:49:47- Whose was it?- Not mine.
0:49:48 > 0:49:50I must have been holding it for someone.
0:49:50 > 0:49:52- You wouldn't lie to me, would you, darling?- No.
0:49:55 > 0:50:00Honestly, I just can't believe my mum's just come up behind me.
0:50:00 > 0:50:01Ahhh.
0:50:01 > 0:50:05And she's been watching everything we've been doing.
0:50:05 > 0:50:06I love you.
0:50:06 > 0:50:09'They were so shocked. They were so shocked.'
0:50:09 > 0:50:11it was amazing, absolutely brilliant.
0:50:11 > 0:50:14I wanted to appear to be a demented woman
0:50:14 > 0:50:17and I certainly came across as a demented woman.
0:50:19 > 0:50:23When I get back I think I'll slowly give him sort of
0:50:23 > 0:50:29more in-depth talks about money management and not to be, like,
0:50:29 > 0:50:33splashing the cash, because I think that people could get the wrong idea,
0:50:33 > 0:50:39erm, when he does that, and also more aware of careful drinking.
0:50:42 > 0:50:46I think it's been harder for me, but you won't have realised that.
0:50:46 > 0:50:48- No, I understand that.- Do you?
0:50:48 > 0:50:50Obviously, I didn't know you were here,
0:50:50 > 0:50:52- so I'm just having a great time. - I know!
0:50:52 > 0:50:54And you're there learning stuff about me.
0:50:54 > 0:50:56What I did see was you smoking.
0:50:56 > 0:50:58Knocking it back like this.
0:50:58 > 0:51:01Followed by the cigarette in your mouth.
0:51:01 > 0:51:03Followed by this girl with a bare bottom.
0:51:03 > 0:51:07Followed by you taking her upstairs to the bedroom.
0:51:07 > 0:51:10To be a fly on the wall, it's quite scary.
0:51:10 > 0:51:13I've seen him do things that I haven't been happy with.
0:51:13 > 0:51:17I've seen him do things that I think that he wouldn't be happy with.
0:51:17 > 0:51:20Flashing cash everywhere, everywhere, Alexander.
0:51:20 > 0:51:22You were buying drinks for everyone.
0:51:22 > 0:51:24- I know.- Well, does that tell you anything?
0:51:24 > 0:51:27I'm just losing my money.
0:51:27 > 0:51:30- But you're not losing it, you're giving it away.- No.
0:51:30 > 0:51:32Your hard-earned cash, you're giving it away.
0:51:32 > 0:51:35At the end of the day, you know, me, Tom and Josh,
0:51:35 > 0:51:39we're on a lads' holiday, somewhere new, halfway around the world,
0:51:39 > 0:51:42and we were just enjoying ourselves.
0:51:42 > 0:51:44I'm not ready to cut the apron strings.
0:51:44 > 0:51:48He's my son, my number one son, my baby,
0:51:48 > 0:51:50and he will always be like that.
0:51:50 > 0:51:53- But you love me, don't you? - Yeah. Can you do my washing?
0:51:53 > 0:51:54SHE LAUGHS
0:52:00 > 0:52:03Across the bay, with their holiday coming to an end, Joss,
0:52:03 > 0:52:07Eman and Danielle are making some last-minute wishes.
0:52:07 > 0:52:10I think we need a selfish wish and a nice wish.
0:52:10 > 0:52:12- There are a couple of things I want. - World peace.
0:52:14 > 0:52:15So, this holiday's really, like,
0:52:15 > 0:52:18inspired me to just go back and maybe start
0:52:18 > 0:52:22pursuing myself, maybe getting back into the whole acting side again,
0:52:22 > 0:52:27and being with two of my friends who are doing what they want to do
0:52:27 > 0:52:29and what they set their goals to do,
0:52:29 > 0:52:32it's opened my eyes a lot just to basically...
0:52:32 > 0:52:35pull myself together and get cracking on with what I want to do
0:52:35 > 0:52:37and don't let people get in my way.
0:52:37 > 0:52:38To our first holiday.
0:52:38 > 0:52:41Joss is now ready to go home with a new-found confidence,
0:52:41 > 0:52:44something his mum, Penny, had been wishing for.
0:52:44 > 0:52:45Come, baby.
0:52:45 > 0:52:48She's done it! Bye!
0:52:49 > 0:52:51There it goes.
0:52:51 > 0:52:53Go, go, go, go!
0:52:55 > 0:52:57Go, go, go!
0:52:57 > 0:53:00'Yeah, this is definitely the start of something new.
0:53:00 > 0:53:01'I think it's refreshed everyone'
0:53:01 > 0:53:04to go back in more of a positive way.
0:53:05 > 0:53:09However, one thing they didn't wish for was the imminent arrival of
0:53:09 > 0:53:11mum Penny, and partner Roberto.
0:53:14 > 0:53:16We're really nervous. Well, I am.
0:53:16 > 0:53:18Really looking forward to seeing him, just want to tell him
0:53:18 > 0:53:22how proud I am of him, what a fantastic job he's done.
0:53:22 > 0:53:24So pleased that he's had such a brilliant time.
0:53:24 > 0:53:28We both just want to see him, don't we? Fantastic, can't wait.
0:53:28 > 0:53:31Time for Penny and Roberto to make their big entrance.
0:53:32 > 0:53:34Oh, fuck off.
0:53:35 > 0:53:38Get me out this... No, fuck off.
0:53:38 > 0:53:39DOOR SLAMS
0:53:42 > 0:53:43Ooooh!
0:53:43 > 0:53:45Hello, guys!
0:53:45 > 0:53:47Where's he gone?
0:53:47 > 0:53:48He's in the toilet.
0:53:48 > 0:53:50- Is he all right? - No, no.
0:53:52 > 0:53:54Come out, honey.
0:53:54 > 0:53:57This is disgusting. This is horrible.
0:53:57 > 0:54:00Penny and Roberto are desperate to see Joss,
0:54:00 > 0:54:03but it doesn't look like Joss is desperate to see them.
0:54:05 > 0:54:07I shouldn't have done it, should I?
0:54:09 > 0:54:10Joss?
0:54:12 > 0:54:15- DANIELLE:- We had a massive conversation before we got here...
0:54:15 > 0:54:17MUFFLED CONVERSATION
0:54:19 > 0:54:22He just sees it as a betrayal of trust,
0:54:22 > 0:54:25and I know exactly what's going through his head.
0:54:28 > 0:54:31It looks like Joss is determined to stay in there
0:54:31 > 0:54:33until Penny and Roberto have left.
0:54:34 > 0:54:36You're going to have to give him a day or something,
0:54:36 > 0:54:38he definitely ain't going to come out today.
0:54:38 > 0:54:40He's not going to come out today.
0:54:40 > 0:54:43He said he didn't want to get on the same aeroplane as you.
0:54:46 > 0:54:48'That was...'
0:54:48 > 0:54:51That was hard, very hard, because...
0:54:51 > 0:54:53it was something that I didn't want.
0:54:53 > 0:54:58He just needs a bit of time, bit of space, and then,
0:54:58 > 0:55:01hopefully, he will be OK.
0:55:09 > 0:55:13The next day, Joss finally feels ready to meet with his mum, Penny.
0:55:14 > 0:55:17You've had some time to get over the shock, yeah?
0:55:17 > 0:55:21'My mind's just been everywhere, I didn't actually know what to think.'
0:55:21 > 0:55:24I just needed to get away from that room and lock myself away from it.
0:55:24 > 0:55:28I never expected that my family are round the corner hiding behind a palm tree.
0:55:28 > 0:55:32I hated having to lie to you, because I don't tell you lies.
0:55:32 > 0:55:34- No, no.- You know I don't.
0:55:34 > 0:55:38It was horrible last night when he was upset by it.
0:55:38 > 0:55:41Um, came home and cried.
0:55:41 > 0:55:44Despite the initial shock, the holiday has given Joss
0:55:44 > 0:55:47a new-found focus for the future.
0:55:48 > 0:55:52I definitely think it's been worth coming to Thailand and...
0:55:52 > 0:55:54just opening my eyes to a new dimension.
0:55:54 > 0:55:56You've seen a whole different world out there, haven't you?
0:55:56 > 0:55:58Different culture shock and everything.
0:55:58 > 0:56:01- And I think you've made a personal journey, as well, haven't you?- Yes.
0:56:01 > 0:56:04And does that make you feel more confident in yourself,
0:56:04 > 0:56:06- or more confused? - It does, yeah.
0:56:06 > 0:56:08'When I've explored myself a bit more'
0:56:08 > 0:56:11and realised what I want to do and who I want to be with,
0:56:11 > 0:56:14that's when I'll go home and be more comfortable to talk about...
0:56:14 > 0:56:18This is the path of sexuality I want to go down and just...
0:56:18 > 0:56:22to expand life, kind of thing, and be ready when I'm ready,
0:56:22 > 0:56:24not when people want me to be ready.
0:56:24 > 0:56:26From what I've seen, you seem like you've got
0:56:26 > 0:56:30a whole new determination to go forward with your career and,
0:56:30 > 0:56:33you know, you want back with the theatre.
0:56:33 > 0:56:36Yes, that's definitely the industry I need to be in.
0:56:36 > 0:56:38I know I need to be there.
0:56:38 > 0:56:41'I definitely found out the path in life I want to go down'
0:56:41 > 0:56:45and basically going back home feeling more fresher, more...
0:56:45 > 0:56:47basically more energised and going back
0:56:47 > 0:56:49and just really living my life in the way I want to live it.
0:56:49 > 0:56:52I know he's overcome so much,
0:56:52 > 0:56:55and if he's overcome that, he'll get there.
0:56:55 > 0:56:59And one day I'm going to have tickets, VIP tickets
0:56:59 > 0:57:02to go and see him in something spectacular in the West End.
0:57:06 > 0:57:08Next time...
0:57:08 > 0:57:10a lightweight mummy's boy...
0:57:10 > 0:57:12That's too drunk for me, bro.
0:57:12 > 0:57:14..just can't hack the pace.
0:57:14 > 0:57:17- And will an Essex gigolo... - I'd love to have a bit of that.
0:57:17 > 0:57:19..regret his womanising ways?
0:57:19 > 0:57:20The girl was a boy?
0:57:20 > 0:57:22THEY GASP
0:57:22 > 0:57:26And when one family is forced to break their cover early...
0:57:26 > 0:57:28(I'm sorry.)
0:57:28 > 0:57:30..just how will the kids react?
0:57:30 > 0:57:32Was that you doing that?!
