Episode synopsis

In this episode the contestants must bring in the most interesting footwear, put something surprising inside a chocolate egg, find out what they have in common with a stranger, make a join-the-dots image using stiletto heels, and stick plasters to the correct body parts. In an exciting tie-breaker, two contestants compete to see who can most quickly receive a text message.

Title context

'What kind of pictures?' was how Liza Tarbuck responded to Alex's question about whether he'd be able to find any pictures of her wearing purple, in the 'Find out what you have in common with a stranger' task.
