Where another scribed: “Fatima waking Andy up in the middle of the night to light the fire is the definition of petty #ImACeleb”
Though as Fatima shared her childhood story, she also explained why she was so strict on camp rules, as growing up in the care home she was under a regimental routine.
Though after she revealed this, one defended her and said: “Makes sense now why Fatima is hot on rules and chores #ImACeleb”
