Notes

^1 Jasmine & Rara were removed with a red card on Day 10 for inappropriate behaviour during the previous night, including being drunk and disorderly, verbally abusing the hotel staff, doing a striptease in front of the hotel, and apparently damaging another guest's car. Moreover, they refused to get out of bed or admit any wrongdoing on the morning of Day 10, leading to their red card previously held by Alan & Lorenzo of series 2.

^2 Jaki & Janice were removed with a red card on Day 22 for overtaking the Day 21’s vote and as they canvassed for votes during the day due to being tired and annoyed with their fellow passengers.

^3 On Day 25, due to the announcement of the red terror and the bullfighting activity, Brendan instated the voting rule previously introduced on Day 24 of series 3 and Day 5 of series 1 of celebrity coach trip - on vote time the couple who received the most votes would get an immediate red card, this happened to be Karen & Ben.

^4 Wayne & Emma walked at the beginning of Day 29 due to a foot injury.
