What did you do on your summer hols? Go exploring with Dua Lipa? Grab a bite to eat with Zendaya?

The summer might be over, but at least we've got plenty of holiday snaps to enjoy - and lots of celebs have been sharing theirs too. For this month's AI or Real quiz, we've pulled together images of many famous faces on their holidays. But things aren't always what they seem… Can you tell which images are real and which are AI?
