But Pete was surprised that they were able to get on so well.

He said: "It was really nice because we\'re all from different backgrounds. And ordinarily, [we] wouldn\'t be in the same kind of social circles, or probably [even] know each other.

"We actually all got along so well, and it was really nice to spend time with different people, I think it was a great experience for everyone."
