At Cannes on the Côte d'Azur, the celebrities try their hand at beach volleyball.

Along the French coast at Hyères, the group takes a lesson in sea kayaking before watching big cats at Toulon's mountain-top zoo.

After an overnight ferry journey to the port of Ajaccio, Corsica, the group heads to the beach for a morning's horse riding, during which one celebrity has a fall and is rushed to hospital.

Still in Corsica, the celebrities head to the hills of Corte for an action-packed day of white-water rafting and ravine zip-wiring.

After a morning's snorkelling at Livorno in Italy, the coach heads to Pisa for a language lesson and the celebrities are joined by comedienne Helen Lederer and actress Sandra Dickinson.

In Florence, Brendan announces that he'll only be handing out red cards for the rest of the trip.

On the last day, the celebrities learn how to make pizzas and tour the sites of Rome using Brendan's favourite mode of transport - the Segway.
