Well a lot of things, probably. But more fool you if being serenaded by Craig David isn't at the top of your list...

Cue Craig and his monster tunes to make everyone feel a lot better. Yes, even you, Louis.

The 'Seven Days' singer drops in to invite the groups to a pool party at Ibiza Rocks, and has a few words of inspiration for the gang.
