This scary tale is a goo-d read ON A
Giovanna hopes will launch her
ONCE upon a slime, there was a fairy tale garden and Victoria Derbyshire and Hollie Arnold had to take turns reading stories for the Castle Coin Challenge.
When they were storytelling, they sat in the chair reading fairy tales, which would have a word missing. The other would have to find the missing word or item, which was hidden around the forest, and then put it into a treasure chest.
If they got it correct, the treasure chest would light up, but if they got it wrong, the storyteller would be covered in things such as feathers and goo.
They both had a go at each role and completed the challenge. Goo-d work, ladies.

“You should be focusing on what you are going to achieve. You just... support each other throughout.”
The pair met at the age of 13, at Sylvia Young Theatre School, and got together after two days.
She added: “He dumped me for his ex-girlfriend, went out with her for three weeks and decided it was me he wanted. I made him wait for two years.” Tom, 35, who has been in charge of her social media accounts, has said of the response to Giovanna: “To see someone you love get that kind of love is amazing.”
