Hi, I'm Ricky with Friday's Newsround.

0:00:040:00:06

Coming up in the next few minutes:

0:00:060:00:09

Your questions for England women's footballers answered.

0:00:090:00:16

And we speak to Kevin Simm ahead of The Voice final.

0:00:160:00:20

It was a huge night for people in the gaming world last night.

0:00:300:00:33

A special Baftas took place in London to award the best

0:00:330:00:33

games in the business, including in the family category.

0:00:360:00:40

The BBC's Chris Foxx went to the event and sent us this

0:00:400:00:43

from the red carpet.

0:00:430:00:46

Well, usually when a red carpet is rolled out like this

0:00:460:00:49

and there is a very posh award ceremony, it's for movie stars.

0:00:490:00:52

But tonight, it's the people who work behind the scenes making

0:00:520:00:54

some of your favourite video games that are nominated for awards.

0:00:540:00:57

And a lot of people play them - one in five of us plays video games,

0:00:570:01:01

so it's not just young people.

0:01:010:01:03

Let's have a chat with the host Dara O Briain.

0:01:030:01:05

What makes an award-winning video game?

0:01:050:01:08

Well, they're so varied, it's difficult to narrow down to one

0:01:080:01:10

thing but there's that rush of excitement, there's

0:01:100:01:14

the adrenaline thrill of having the story slowly unfold,

0:01:140:01:16

of small achievements leading to greater achievements,

0:01:160:01:20

and we've all done this.

0:01:200:01:21

Just the pizzazz and the sheen of it, as well.

0:01:210:01:24

We give awards for the music and the graphics and everything,

0:01:240:01:26

and for the design.

0:01:260:01:27

And also for games you play as a family.

0:01:270:01:30

And the hugest thing in that sphere for the last while has been one

0:01:300:01:33

called toys to life, which is those boards

0:01:330:01:35

where you place a small toy and it would appear on the screen.

0:01:350:01:38

Lego Dimensions is one of those and some people have played

0:01:380:01:41

with Disney Infinity and there is a lot of those kind

0:01:410:01:44

of games are nominated as well.

0:01:440:01:45

So that will be as hard fought as any.

0:01:450:01:47

And the BAFTA for family goes to...

0:01:470:01:50

Rocket League.

0:01:500:01:54

And here we are with the winner of the best family game.

0:01:540:01:57

You actually got three awards and you can't carry them all.

0:01:570:02:00

Dave, what's it like winning all these awards?

0:02:000:02:02

It's absolutely amazing.

0:02:020:02:03

We didn't expect anywhere near this level of success but I'm just happy

0:02:030:02:06

that everybody else is enjoying the game as much as we are.

0:02:060:02:09

What would you say to anyone who is thinking of getting

0:02:090:02:12

into games design?

0:02:120:02:13

Oh, I mean, just follow your dreams on that.

0:02:130:02:15

I started having, you know, no idea how to get into the game

0:02:150:02:20

industry and I just started modding games and it just

0:02:200:02:24

kind of led from there.

0:02:240:02:27

Footie now, and with two wins in Euro 2017 qualification already,

0:02:270:02:32

England's women are preparing to face Belgium tonight

0:02:320:02:34

in their next qualifier.

0:02:340:02:36

All this week we've been asking you to send in your questions

0:02:360:02:39

for the Lionesses' most-capped player,

0:02:390:02:40

Fara Williams, and goalkeeper Karen Bardsley.

0:02:400:02:43

And now we have their answers.

0:02:430:02:48

You make so many sacrifices to be a footballer.

0:02:540:02:56

I've kind of put everything into being a footballer and probably

0:02:560:02:59

didn't think if I didn't make it what I'd be, so now I enjoy

0:02:590:03:02

coaching, so probably a coach.

0:03:020:03:04

I'd probably either be a graphic designer or I'd probably work

0:03:040:03:06

at Disneyland.

0:03:060:03:07

I don't know.

0:03:070:03:09

It has to be Kelly Smith.

0:03:130:03:15

I think her balance, her skill, her decision-making,

0:03:150:03:17

and she's England's record goal-scorer so,

0:03:170:03:19

for me, she is the best.

0:03:190:03:21

My role model was Peter Schmeichel.

0:03:250:03:26

When I was a kid, he was just the most commanding goalkeeper

0:03:260:03:29

around and I wanted to emulate him in every way, and you can see

0:03:290:03:33

that his son is playing just as well as he used to then.

0:03:330:03:38

Do you feel like you're underestimated because

0:03:380:03:40

you're female?

0:03:400:03:41

Yeah, definitely.

0:03:440:03:44

If people start talking about football, immediately

0:03:440:03:47

their first instinct is to talk about men and I think if people

0:03:470:03:50

previously have seen women's football on TV, they're just

0:03:500:03:53

going to immediately think that it's a lower standard,

0:03:530:03:55

and it's not, so that is kind of annoying at times.

0:03:550:03:59

I'm encouraging people to watch more women's football, so they can

0:03:590:04:02

appreciate how talented and technically gifted

0:04:020:04:03

we actually are.

0:04:030:04:10

It's the final of The Voice this weekend and with so much to gain,

0:04:100:04:13

I caught up with finalist Kevin Simm to find out what life has been like

0:04:130:04:17

since he entered the competition.

0:04:170:04:18

Kevin, the final is this weekend, The Voice final.

0:04:200:04:22

You've made it.

0:04:220:04:23

How are you feeling?

0:04:230:04:25

I didn't expect to get this far, so it's just all been

0:04:250:04:28

a bit of a whirlwind.

0:04:280:04:32

You were in a band when you were younger, called Liberty X.

0:04:330:04:36

Do you think of those days fondly at all?

0:04:360:04:38

I look back at it all with a lot of pride.

0:04:380:04:42

No embarrassment?

0:04:420:04:45

Cos the videos were different to the kind of videos you see today.

0:04:450:04:50

You look at yourself and you think, "Oh, I shouldn't have worn that,"

0:04:500:04:53

or, "I should've gone to the gym a bit more," and things like that.

0:04:530:04:56

But no, I mean, it was an amazing experience and I'm very lucky

0:04:560:04:59

to have had that.

0:04:590:05:02

Have you enjoyed actually singing live again?

0:05:020:05:03

The experience of it all has been brilliant,

0:05:030:05:05

cos the place is, like, buzzing and, obviously, I get

0:05:050:05:08

on very well with all the other contestants as well,

0:05:080:05:10

so it's just been really good fun.

0:05:100:05:13

Like a family sort of atmosphere.

0:05:130:05:14

You said you've got kids.

0:05:140:05:15

Do they realise what's going on at the moment,

0:05:150:05:17

that you're on The Voice and that Dad is doing really well?

0:05:170:05:20

They obviously love seeing me on the television but I think,

0:05:200:05:23

to be fair, they like seeing themselves on television

0:05:230:05:25

a little bit more.

0:05:250:05:27

But no, they know Daddy's a singer and they think Daddy lives

0:05:270:05:30

on the stage, so they're definitely rooting for me.

0:05:300:05:38

Just enough time to tell you what's over on the website.

0:05:380:05:40

Ever wanted to quiz a film star?

0:05:400:05:42

Well, you can tell us what you'd like to ask the actor picked to play

0:05:420:05:45

Mowgli in the new version of The Jungle Book.

0:05:450:05:49

That's all from me.

0:05:490:05:50
