Children in Need Spectacular! Blue Peter

Do we have hundreds of masks? Barney Harwood has no idea about the

surprise we are going to give him. Oh, yes. Hello and welcome to Blue

Peter. Barney has not seen a sausage. He has been asked to wait

in the make-up room. He has no idea what's going on. Barney has not done

any rehearsal today. This is going to be the biggest surprise ever.

Children in Need is all about getting involved and loads of you

have been doing a challenge. We thought we would give you a few

challenges today. You are going to do four. Are you up for it? Of

There we go. I will have to take you all new. Are you loving it? Yes.

somewhere because challenge 2 does not happen here. See you later. The

next part of your challenge is just down here. For Children in Need you

next challenge is not in there, don't look, we are going this way.

This is Judy 2. A different show is happening there. We want you to put

have 30 seconds. Off you go. You could have mentioned this. It is

spinning! There is someone under the table. There is! A bake sale is an

easy way to earn money. Who did you know who it was? ! He works on the

show. This is completely fair. It is for Children in Need. Use your

imagination. Stop there. I feel like someone who has a lot more knowledge

about cakes than that. Someone who was a runner-up in 2015 on the great

British bake off. Please welcome Tamal. What do you think of this? It

is a thing of beauty. Why would you give him out of ten? Ten, obviously.

Well done! Thank you so much. It is time for challenge 4. You have no

idea this is happening but so far you have put on a bake sale, an

outfit for Children in Need, you have put on a bake sale, an

quiz and now it is time to put on a show. Watch this.

They are the international cheerleading champions. It's not

over yet, come this way, because you are going to get involved, that is

what Children in Need inspires everybody to do. What does Barney

have to do? We have put together a routine for you. Follow me and try

to keep up. On your Mark, just here. Stand there. But luck. -- good

luck. Yes! Well done, mate. That was good

considering he had no idea that was going to happen. 100% commitment!

How did he get on? He did really well. A big round of applause for

Barney! Well done. If you want to get involved for Children in Need

you can really do anything. It doesn't matter. Just get involved

and get fundraising. You will have seen me trying to put on a show of

my own which culminates in this, my final performance. Eight months ago

I was set one of my biggest Blue Peter challenges yet. Performing a

floor routine at the world gymnastics Championships in Glasgow.

I began by training with Olympic medallist Lewis Smith. And since

then I have been hitting the gym hard. I found out just what it takes

to become an elite gymnast. And how eating the right food can have a big

impact on performance. But now with only a few days to go, my coach Rob

really increases my training. Still a little bit floppy. A gymnastics

floor routine is a series of tumbles, strength and balance moves

performed in a fluid sequence on a 12 metre square floor. I will

perform for two and a half minutes and it will be made up of 12 moves

to test me to the limit. The individual moves is really tough,

but doing it in a sequence where I only get one chance to get it right

makes it so much harder. Let's get back to it. I will be pulling off

skills like the splits, cartwheels and handstands, which are difficult

enough, but my routine starts with a handspring. And finishes with a

front somersault, two of the hardest moves. And despite how many times I

tried, I have not landed them all perfectly. It is so frustrating! I

get one chance and if I mess it up it will set the scene for the entire

routine. I can't even think about that happening. It is the day before

my performance and I head up to Glasgow. I am starting to feel

really nervous now. I did not think I would but I really am. I have one

last chance to work out all of the things that are going wrong and how

to make it right. Bring on Glasgow and bring on the world gymnastics

championship. When I catch up with my coach while at the training hall

to practice my routine one last time. We are going to do a bit of

training with a couple of routines to get all of your nerds out so you

are fully prepared for tomorrow. Some of the best gymnasts in the

world are also putting in last-minute practice including Lewis

Smith. My first competition did not go to plan so if you mess up... The

Olympics next year! I am very tired. Good morning. Training yesterday

went OK, but I'm still not very confident when it comes to my

somersault or the handspring. I get one chance at this. It's time to do

it. For the very first time I get to see the actual floor that I will be

performing on, and now the size of my challenge really sinks in. I need

to stay focused, so I keep going through the routine over and over in

my head. In just a few hours' time, this place will be packed to the

rafters with spectators, some of the world's greatest gymnasts, and one

very, very nervous Blue Peter presenter. But before I do my final

preparations Rob has a bit of a treat. You have to perform with

style and look the part as well. I have a little surprise for you. My

very own Blue Peter leotard! Look at that. And in true Children in Need

style I have a matching cape and mask. It's time to see if I can be a

hero in front of 8000 people. This is it. I have do pull off 12

different moves including a handspring, cartwheel, the splits,

and two front somersault is. I have never done all of these moves

perfectly in a sequence but can I do them now? I have trained so hard and

given everything I've got, now is the time to just do it. Ladies and

gentlemen, representing Blue Peter, please welcome Radzi! Commentating

on my every move, Matt Baker and Beth Tweddle. All eyes in this arena

at an Radzi. I land a handspring! I can't believe it! That was a great

start, getting his nerves settled. Next it is my somersault. He went

further somersault and e-mail it. I'm really starting to enjoy this

now. -- he nails it. That did not quite go to plan. A little bit shaky

there. Come on, I still have a few moves to go. Look at that, backwards

roll into the splits. That's more like it. It is very easy to wobble

on this. He is holding it well. His final tumble. Here we go. Yes. He's

got it. Look at him! Look at that. He is lapping up the crowd. He is

pleased with that performance. That is a gold badge as far as I'm

concerned. I could not be more elated. I was so

nervous going into that. At the start I thought, go for it, go for

it. And it worked. I will take it. Get in! Well done. Rob, thank you.

If you want to see the full routine, jump onto the Blue Peter website.

Believe me, there are bits that you missed out that I may have messed

up! That was the best thing I have seen you do. You are awesome at

home, too. We want to say thank you for raising money for Children in

Need. Such a great effort. Look at our map, absolutely covered in your

spots. Well done, top banana. We love how creative you are and it

gives us a chance to decorate the studio as well. Thank you for

getting in touch. We did just promise that we would not just

decorate the studio, but we created a super-sized hero mask. Bring it

in, boys. We do not have time to thank all of you that we will give

it a go. In fact, I have a list. Can I borrow the list? We are going to

say thank you to Philip Baker Junior School, Oswald Road primary School.

You carry on doing that and I will do some masks. Elliott from

Stockport sent in this brilliant mask with little bits of yellow

tissue paper. And even a little band over Pudsey's I. Thank you. He is

doing a bake sale to raise money for Children in Need. Well done. And

Taylor from Salisbury has made this glitzy mask. She is going to be

donating her pocket money for Children in Need. That is a good

effort, isn't it? Lauren has made this one. She will be selling cakes.

Also St George 's primary school... He is still going. The money that

you raise for Children in Need is so important and a few weeks ago I went

to a special product -- project to find out why.

Last year, Children in Need raised over ?32 million. Thanks to your

generosity and incredible fundraising, we have been able to

help thousands of children, and I have come to Plymouth to meet some

of them. Hello, guys. Moving to the UK from a different country can be a

very scary experience, but this group has been setup to support

young people who done exactly that. Back-to-back, pony, side to side,

pony. Funded by Children in Need, this is a drama workshop to help to

form friendships and create confidence. Today, I have been

invited to join in. First, some warm up exercises. We have the magic

sweet, any flavour of your choice. We put it in and we start to chew.

It tastes good. I wanted to find out why this project is so important to

those who come here. Tastes like chocolate. Maryam Namazie Iraq four

years ago and Sarah moved from Syria when she was very young. What were

you like when you joined the group? I was shy. Why? Because I did not

know anyone. Has this helped you to make friends? Yes. There are many

reasons for people to move to a new country, for a job, to be closer to

family, or for a change. But some families are forced to move for

their own safety. You may have seen in the news recently many reports

about refugees moving across Europe, as they try to find a safer place to

live. For those that arrive in the UK, groups like this help young

people settle into their new communities. Do you love coming

here? Yes. Why is that? It helps with confidence and acting. Even if

you don't do acting much, it is fine. I like people and you can make

new friends. It is a great opportunity for young

people to be in a safe space for them to be themselves and explore

and grow in confidence. Meeting the group has really made me think about

how frightening and lonely it must be to move to a new country. It is

so important that projects like this are here to help. It is great to see

how your generous donations are helping change these young people's

lives. So this year, grab your cape and be a hero for Children in Need.

Let's take about. -- let's take a bow.

Thank you flitting me join in. It was great. We have asked you to be a

hero for Children in Need. We super-sized our mask, so why not

super-size a hero cape? We may have created the longest superhero cape

anywhere in the world and I am currently wearing it. Feast your

eyes. We are trying to set a world record. Greetings. How long does

this have to be to break the record? At least two metres wide and over 30

metres long. Well, to help us adjudicate, here is Anna from

Guiness World Records. What is the idea, to fold it out into the

corridor and you will tell us if it is long enough? Indeed. It is full

of spots, but it is to mimic the spots on Pudsey. They have been made

by Rainbows, Girl Guides and Brownies, and everyone is different.

They are beautiful. Where are you from? Leads Girl Guides. Your spot

is on here, is it a good one? Yes, it is really good. Loads more to get

through. 106 Girl Guides, Brownies and Rainbows took part. The Women's

Institute helps to sew it all together. 20 metres, two thirds of

the way there. Still a lot to get through. We are almost there. It is

lovely, spotty and yellow. I believe that is possibly a world record.

Remember, there are loads of spots. If you can't see yours, get on the

website and you might get a closer look. 40 metres. And the rest!

Incredible! Fingers crossed, Blue Peter have another world record.

Over to you. As mentioned, it needed to be over 30 metres for a new

Guiness World Records title. I can confirm that it is 44 metres and 27

centimetres! Brilliant. Thank you to everyone who got involved. Here with

their new single Wake Up, it is The Vamps. Where are we going to put

this? # That no one else can touch, my

dear # That no one else can touch, my

dear That's how to finish a show. It has

been a year since we saw you last. What have you been up to? Very busy

writing an album which is out on November 27, so we are excited about

that. And lots of touring. And November 27, so we are excited about

is next? We are back on the road, a world tour, and we are really

excited about it. Thank you so much for coming. Now, it has been a

pretty amazing year on Blue Peter but there are still loads to come.

Check this out. I make myself feel really sick. Stage two will bring

the country to its knees! Look at that!

How to park that? Are we nearly there? It is like the ultimate den.

As you can see, so much to look forward to. Thank you so much. That

is the end of our Children in Need special. Thank you to all of our

special guests. See you later. Goodbye!

I'm preparing for tomorrow night's Children in Need show live on BBC

One from 7:30pm. We have guests from Star Wars, Strictly,
