'Fee-fi-fo-fum'
'Who's got their eyes on Charlie's bum?' Robbie speaks the truth as ever. Charlie did catch Hayley's eye but that fire blew out before it got started. Tempting Jack was the real reason behind her seduction of Charlie. But how can she snare him? Tequila and bus stop snogs might work on the young ...
