It's round two of CBBC's Summer Sports Stars. Team Helen and team

Barney take to the high seas in an action-packed race that will see

Elements. Will my team be able to recover

from yesterday's dodgeball defeat? And will Dominique be OK after she

gets into trouble on the sea? Hello! Hello. Are you cold? Yeah,

I'm doing a bit of yoga at the same time. Also today, we are introduced

to our final freak of nature. So far Rani has pitched the star nosed

mole. Blowfish told us about the barreleye fish. Mike Dilger

introduced the leafy sea dragon. Naomi told us all about the glass

frog. Today, Chris Collins will introduce us to our final freak of

nature, but will it knock Naomi off the top slot. You lot have been

talking on the message board. have to reveal why I'm shaking this

bag of ice. I'm going to show you how to make something very cool.

Nearly everybody likes it. It comes in loads of flavours. When I eat it,

it makes me smile. I'm talking ice- cream. Can you carry on with that?

I will do. Yesterday we were drawn by the enmagic -- enigmatic beast

that is Jack Black. We have been talking to a girl who also uses her

voice to entertain. She has her own radio show. I'm Daisy. I'm ten

years old. I have my own radio show. This is what it's like being me.

I'm the presenter of a radio show which airs every Saturday 12-1. The

show is broadcast across the Yorkshire Dales. You can listen

anywhere online. It doesn't start there.

Before I go near a microphone I have loads to do. First, I need to

pick all the songs. The show is an hour long and I'll use six or seven

tracks. I have to be ready for requests too. We're Daisy's friends

and we love listening to her radio show. We always send requests.

As well as the music, I review a TV programme. This week I'm doing Blue

Peter. Some weeks I do a book review. I have to know what I'm

talking about. But that's not all. I always tell people who's going on

around the local area and what's on TV. It's Saturday morning, show day.

I will show you round the studio. Here is the schedule. I'm up here.

Here is the studio. There's my dad. This is where we do all of our

shows. My dad does a show before me. While he's in there, I get ready

for my show. I'm ready and it's show time. On the Blue Peter

message board you wanted to know more about what it was like having

your own radio show. How did you get your own show? My dad started

doing his show first. Then I went up to the radio and met the station

manager. I got chatting to him. He asked me whether I wanted my own

show. I said yes, then I started. Do you ever get nervous before the

show and what do you do to fight the nerves? The first time I was

really nervous. I've done it lots of times now. I don't get as

nervous. Do you practice what you're going to say or do you just

say it straight away? I have a book, which I write all my articles in.

Then, I practise them before I go on. What's the funniest thing

that's happened on the radio? Saturday we couldn't do my show

because we'd be broadcasting to nobody. The transmitter is on top

of a hill and a horse had backed into it. So the radio had gone dead.

Welcome to Crazy Daisy's late Saturday with me Daisy. Time for

what's on in the area now. This week's book review... This week' TV

-- week's TV review... The show's going really well so far. I'm

really pleased. I always play requests and shout outs that come

in. We've had someone who has asked for a request, that's Alice,

Jasmine and Andrew. It's that time again, the end of the show. Thank

you for listening, Crazy Daisy signing out. I have my own radio

show. I hope you've enjoyed finding out what it's like being me.

When I set my mind to something, I finish it. How impressive is Crazy

Daisy. Kind of looks like you as a child. What do you think of crazy

daisy? I think she rocks. I think she should have a summer road show.

If she does I want to cater for it because I have the perfect food,

ice-cream. You can make it yourself. Here it is. That's what you can be

making yourself. You need these ingredients - a quarter pint of

full fat milk, yes girls it's going straight to the hips. A quarter

pint of single cream, two tablespoons of caster shuing ah,

one teaspoon of vanilla essence, ice cubes, about 400 graps of --

grams of salt, sealable sandwich bags small and big. We need to add

bags small and big. We need to add all the ingredients together. Now

we've got our caster sugar, after the milk and cream. Then the

vanilla. Just whack it all in a jug. You can customise this recipe in

any way - add chocolate, sweets, add those things on top, these

colourful balls made of sugar. That's probably the technical names.

Once you've stirred this for about three minutes, add it to one of

your small sandwich bags, a bit like this. You want to be very

careful, you don't want to spill any. If you do, you'll have less

ice-cream to enjoy. The reason the sandwich bags are sealable is

because you don't want any mixture to escape. Squeeze as much air as

you can. Seal it and then double it up, stick it inside another bag.

This is very important. You'll see why in a minute.

I guess to make Tripoli -- tripley sure, tie it up with a sandwich bag

clip. That's the mixture for our ice-cream. Now we need our freezer.

To make that, we need the big bags and you need about three jugs of

ice. Make sure they're full as well. As much ice in there as you can get.

As we're doubling things up at the moment let's dot same with the

freezer. There is a reason why you don't want these ingredients to

escape. To activate the ice, to make it even colder, we add roughly

half a pint of salt. I know you don't normally weigh salt in pints.

But if you can put it into a jug halfway, you have enough. Pour it

into the ice like that. Then we add our mixture. Of course, this is

where the sealed sandwich bag comes in. If you got salt in your ice-

cream, it couldn't be very tasty. Seal the bags up properly. Again,

tie it up with a big clip. Then give it a shake. This is the

science. Basically, water freezes at about zero degrees. When you add

salt to ice, it make it's colder. There's a chemical reaction that

takes place. It draws all the heat out of the wet mixture in the

middle making it colder and freezing it. As you know, Andy has

been shaking his bag over there. Shaking, shaking. Shake it for

about 12 minutes. My hands are freezing. Carefully, I'm very

excited. Yes, it's solid. Solid as a rock. If we open the sandwich

bags - I'm so excited! Can we try? Get in there. It really is ice-

cream. Look at that. It really is as well. It's pretty

solid. For more details go to the website. That is delicious. He's

smug in the kitchen, that's good. Let's see how good he is when it

Suby -- sunny Brighton home of CBBC's sports stars 2011. Team

Helen and team Barney are battling it out in four cool summer sports.

We've gathered the best sports stars CBBC has to offer.

In my team from Live n Deadly, Naomi. From hotel Trouble,

Dominique. From Sportsround, Ore. From all over the place, Ed. From

the CBBC office it's Ian. finally from Roar, Jonny.

For the winning team the prestigious CBBC Summer Sports

Stars trophy. And for the losing captain, a messy forfeit in the

Welcome back to Brighton. Yeah! Today is my event. We're going to

be sea kayaking. It's an adrenaline-filled way to take to

the surf and ride the waves. Today we take on the English Channel in a

timed relay race. One of the best sea dogs around is here to teach us.

He's been riding the waves for years in the most challenging

conditions going. Adam, come on in. APPLAUSE

What is going to be our biggest problem today? It's not the best

summer's day. The problem is going to be the wind, the swell and it's

going to be the waves breaking on the shore. Dominique looks

petrified. It's time to start the Twist, pull. Ian is my partner, not

entirely convinced that this is his sport. He asked me which way up to

hold the paddle because he didn't know his right from his left.

has worked out well for Helen, hasn't it, a sport she knows a lot

about. I wonder if that was tactical. Hey, that's the name of

the game. After the paddles have been mastered, there's nothing to

do but get on the water and practice stay ago float. I don't

want to be with Barney. I don't want to do it. Who can blame her.

The rough conditions are making it hard to keep control of our kayaks.

If you hit a wave right, we were flying, weren't we? The

important thing is keeping the kayak straight, so if it hits you

on the side, you will get wet. Moments later Dominique and Jonny

got in trouble. It was a rogue wave, it sent us flying. It landed on my

head. I could cry. It's like the Titanic hit me. Gosh. Before we can

carry on, Dominique gets the once over. I've had a good look, there's

no bleeding. The conditions are tough. We don't want to see another

accident out there, another bang on the head. I don't mind doing it

again because I'm in the a quitter. APPLAUSE

It's a relay race against the clock. Each team will split into pairs and

each pair will have -- paddle out to sea 30 metres around the buoy

and back. The fastest time wins. and back. The fastest time wins.

For the winners, five points on the leaderboard.

And they're off! Thanks to Ed and Barney's shoving, or are they off?

They're in trouble straight away. They're grounded. Now they really

are flying... Well... Almost. Brave Dominique's smiling. Jonny's

powering it from the back. The waves are making it heavy going.

There's a mouthful of salty water for Dominique. I don't think she

fancies this at au. What blaifery, -- fancies this at all. What

bravery, she's hanging in there. It's looking good. They've rolled

it. It's happened again. This is Dominique's fear realised all over

again. Where are they going? Jump out of

the boat. They're out of the water, they have to get back to the start.

Oh, what's he done. He needs that paddle. Stupid Jonny. Barney and Ed

jump into their kayak, whilst Dominique takes a rest after that

Dominique takes a rest after that ordeal and it was an ordeal.

wouldn't say you made it look easy... Paddling strong and hard

and ridge make. They need to pick up the pace to secure a good time.

Excellently negotiating themselves around the marker. They're looking

good. They're looking good. Oh, they're not looking good. They've

done a Dominique roll. The waves are thrashing them there. Ed and

Barney all over the place, giving it everything now. They're powering

for home. They're over the line, stop the clock.

I closed my eyes for a lot of it. That's probably why you took so

long. It's team Helen's turn. Naomi means

business here, look at that. She's looking very strong. She's

lapping up the sea water. Adding the muscle. They're quickest round

the marker so far. That's text book paddling. Oh, they've gone! They're

in the drink. It's the same wave that catches everyone out, look.

Naughty waves. Still an excellent performance there.

Helen is fired up for this one. She's like a speed boat. Let's

start Helen's engines and watch her go, go, go! Team Helen need to win

this. Five points on the leaderboard at stake now.

A lot of pride hangs in the balance for legend Helen.

That has to be the biggest wave of the competition so far.

Can they stay upright however, on the tricky home strait? Their team-

mates are guiding them home. There's no stopping them now.

They're out. They're over the line. But have they done enough? It felt

forever to get in the water. and I were slow coming back it. It

was so shallow. I think we were marginally quicker. She's amazing,

Helen Skelton when she gets going. If we get anywhere near them, I

would be very happy. Both teamles did really well. It's challenging

did really well. It's challenging out there. However, it's time for

the results. Team Barney, your team did it in 5.49. Very well done to

you guys. Team Helen, your team did it in... 4.30.

CHEERING So Helen taking a much needed five

points and after two events, it's all square on the leaderboard.

Next time on CBBC Summer Sports Stars, there's jumps, bumps and an

injury that could change everything. Who will reign supreme and who will

be one step nearer to a gunging in the deck chair of doom?

I know we don't like to gloat, but we are happy to win that round.

Victory for my team and an additional trophy that Isla brought

to the beach for us. Thank you very much. Can I keep it? I wasn't there.

You meanies, giving away my trophies. I would be the sea

kayaking. This could get messy. Let's not have a fight now boys. It

is time for this: Freaks of nature. It is time for the finale of freaks

of nature. Over the last five weeks, we have been trying to find the

freakiest creature or plant out there. We've been grading them out

of 30 and we have produced this Freaky Five leaderboard. At the

minute, Rani sits in fourth place with the star nosed mole. We gave

that 23 out of 30. In third place, is blowfish with the barreleye fish.

That got 25 out of 30. Just ahead is Mike Dilger's sea dragon with

27-and-a-half out of 30. Going to be honest a few points were awarded

for his impression of the sea dragon. It was freaky. Naomi

brought us the glass frog. We gave it a whopping 29 out of 30, because

we thought it was really, really freaky. The trouble is lots of you

disagree. Especially somebody who goes under the name I Love Andy.

Whoever this is says, "I think you were very harsh on Rani and the

blowfish. You could have given them more. I suggest 26 out of 30 for

Rani's star nosed mole. You should have given blowfish's barreleye

fish 28." Another person says "I think you gave the sea dragon way

too many points. The glass frog should be first, then the barreleye

fish." Scoobyi says the leafy sea dragon is a freak of nature,

because it looks like seaweed. Another one said "I think the glass

frog is the scariest because you can see what it ate for breakfast."

Some people agreeing, but lots disagreeing. The pressure is on.

I'm like a football referee. Once a decision is made, it's made.

quite happy with the decisions I made. I probably would swap the

star nosed mole for the barreleye fish now. I need the dollar, the

doll ah, the dollar is what I need. Don't start. That song is in my

head. Now for our final expert. Let's meet him.

Today's expert is Chris Collins. He's a man who comes face to face

with weird and wonderful British wildlife every day. He just loves

to get his hands dirty. He's Blue Peter's own gardener. We won't be

doing favours today. Who will he choose as his freak of nature? Here

he is Chris Collins everybody! APPLAUSE

OK Chris, what have you got? Being a gardener I had to pitch a plant.

This is the pitcher plant. This is a freak of nature. You get 60

seconds to pitch the pitcher plant. At the end we will mark out of ten.

Then we'll put it on the Freaky Five leaderboard. You're going to

have to be good to clinch the top spot. 60 seconds on the clock, it's

time to freak us out! This might look like an innocent plant. But

this plant is a meat eater. It makes the Venus flytrap look

friendly. If you have insects or a frog or a small mouse or rat, this

plant can eat you alive. It gives on scents like decaying flesh to

attract the creatures. They come along in a tropical climate and

they fall into a pitcher. Inside here is digestive juices. The rats

fall down inside and gradually, over a few weeks gradually be eaten

alive. These pitchers can get up to two foot tall, two foot long in the

wild. Imagine, you're a rat, you go inside, you can't climb up again,

the sides are full of mucous and gradually you're eaten of -- alive.

This has to be definitely a freak of nature.

That is grim. I have never felt sorry for rats. It's so deceiving.

It lures them in. Time to score. For me, because it does double up

as a drinks bottle, I'm giving it an eight. Not bad. I am giving you

a nine. It doesn't kill the rat straight away, it eats it slowly

over time... Nine-and-a-half. That gives you 26-and-a-half. So

we're going to put you into third place, underneath Mike Dilger's sea

dragon, above the barreleye fish. Rani goes into fifth place. There

you have it everybody. Our Freaky Five leaderboard. I think we have

proved that the world really is a wonderful, but slightly weird,

place at times. The glass frog is the freakiest freak of nature.

Daugree? Just go online and tell us That's almost it for today. Join us

next week on Blue Peter, because we will have the next instalment of

CBBC's Summer Sports Stars. I'm laughing because it was pretty

brutal Barney. You were brutal. We were playing fair. What is going on

there. I like to say competitive. More people ended up in hospital
