So if I work 5 days between Monday to Saturday normally with a random day off allocated the week before.
And next week Mon and Tues are bank holidays.

3 or 4, depending on how much you have been sucking up to your manager.

THe rule is that you should be working 3 days. Most managers will try to get you to work 4 though. If you do work 4 you are entitled to either have a days holiday added to your entitlement or to be paid overtime for the day worked.
