After months of searching they finally whittled it down to just two pairs of friends to the grand final as Jack and Joe took on Emily and Ells from Welwyn Garden City in an epic 24 -hour challenge.
Both pairs were locked in a small, dark room at KISS FM – without their phones or any personal belongings – and put through the ultimate friends test by Jordan, Perri and the whole KISS squad.
These tests included having to look after a crying baby – which Joe said was the toughest part for him - as well as listen to Jordan and Perri sing a rather unique version of ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’ on loop for a full hour, which Jack said he found the most difficult part to get through.

They will now be heading off on an all-inclusive holiday to the Caribbean thanks to Müller Corner Originals.
The boys, both aged 27, have been best friends for more than 15 years since first meeting in year seven as school and were confident from the start they would be crowned the winners.
This was despite the best attempts of Jack’s mum who got involved with the challenge, asking the KISS team to send in a huge pile of ironing for her son to do, convinced that this would get him to leave the room.
