0:00:02 > 0:00:05Project Parent lets you take control of your single parent's life.
0:00:05 > 0:00:08- Project Parent HQ, how can I help? - GIRLS: Our mum needs help.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11- What's wrong? - She won't wear a dress.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13And she's only got one lipstick - it's brown!
0:00:13 > 0:00:15OK, I'm on my way!
0:00:15 > 0:00:18Today's project managers are Emily and Megan.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20We need to take control.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22They aim to change mum's image...
0:00:22 > 0:00:24I'd like Mum to wear more colour.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26- That's hideous. - Mummy.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Oh my gosh!
0:00:28 > 0:00:30..Find a nice man to take Mum on a glamorous night out.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32She likes George Clooney.
0:00:32 > 0:00:37And get up to mischief in the Project Parent surveillance van.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39THEY LAUGH
0:00:39 > 0:00:41The final reveal will be amazing.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42I'm terrified.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Oh!
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Welcome to Project Parent, the show where you get the chance
0:01:06 > 0:01:09to take control of your parent's life.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12We'll help re-brand your mum and dad with a whole new look,
0:01:12 > 0:01:17and find them the right person to take them out on a glam night out.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20This week, we're in the north west to sort out a single mum
0:01:20 > 0:01:25who has no social life, and hasn't worn a dress in 20 years.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Today, we're with a family from Wigan.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32My name is Megan. I'm nine.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34My name is Emily. I'm 12.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38They're project managing their mum, 41-year-old Nicky.
0:01:38 > 0:01:43I would describe myself as a bit of a hippy.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45# Left a good job in the city... #
0:01:45 > 0:01:48My mum likes poetry and writing.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51She studied French, and she's got a French degree now.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Oui, c'est beau.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55She also writes songs like me.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57# ..Rolling on the river... #
0:01:57 > 0:01:59I am a total romantic.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04The perfect man for my mum would be George Clooney for his hair.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06John Barrowman for his eyes.
0:02:06 > 0:02:11And Matthew Morrison for his nose.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15I share a wardrobe with my mum, and I take up almost all of it.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19This is my side. And that's my mum's.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21She hasn't got many clothes.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23I have five pairs of trousers, eight tops,
0:02:23 > 0:02:26and I have one pair of nice shoes.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30I don't understand why you'd have millions of clothes and shoes
0:02:30 > 0:02:32with only seven days in a week.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Shopping for clothes with my mum is a pain.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Changing rooms are evil.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Getting undressed, looking in a mirror,
0:02:39 > 0:02:42and having to put stuff on, terrifies me.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44We need to take control.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46I'd like Mum to meet a Prince Charming
0:02:46 > 0:02:50and have a special night feeling like a princess.
0:02:50 > 0:02:51Aw!
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Nicky is perfect for Project Parent.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Luckily we have help from fashion king Darren Kennedy.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02With a sense of style and an eye for what's funky and fun,
0:03:02 > 0:03:07Darren will be helping Emily and Megan transform their mum.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- Hello!- Hello!- Come in.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12- Hello! - Hello, guys, how are you?
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- Fine, thanks. - Good. Lovely to be here.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17- But let's get to business. - Yeah.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- So, Mum, a cup of tea and a chat? - Sounds good.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Girls, let's hit the wardrobe.
0:03:23 > 0:03:28For a good look at Mum's wardrobe, we've brought everything outside.
0:03:28 > 0:03:33- So these are the contents of your mum's wardrobe?- Yeah.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35What's the biggest problem with it?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Obviously the black - black is no colour.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39She needs more!
0:03:39 > 0:03:43One, two, three, four, five... 11, 12, 13, 14.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46There's like 16 things here. And that's the entire wardrobe?
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- She doesn't wear half of it. - Do you bring her shopping?
0:03:49 > 0:03:51We try. She doesn't listen though.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53This is bad.
0:03:53 > 0:03:58When did you last have a night out, where you felt amazing and special?
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Honestly? Probably never. I don't glam.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05No, probably never. Maybe my wedding day years ago.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09This is going in the bin. This is going in the bin.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11- This? - Bin!
0:04:11 > 0:04:14- This?- Bin!- This?- BIN!
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Sorry, they shouldn't be here.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19If you see your mum buy anything like that again, say,
0:04:19 > 0:04:22"No, enough is enough. They're hideous."
0:04:22 > 0:04:27In, in, finished. I don't care. I have enough of them.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Warning -Binning mum's clothes without permission
0:04:30 > 0:04:32will get you into serious trouble.
0:04:32 > 0:04:37- So who is your ideal man? - Mr George Clooney. It has to be.
0:04:37 > 0:04:38I'm your guy, Nicky.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40- What is it about him? - His eyes.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- Stubble, the smile.- Is that all?
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- Don't know if I can get George Clooney. I'll try.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50How does your mum want to feel? She likes her jeans and her black.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52- To feel like a princess. - Like a princess?
0:04:52 > 0:04:56She feels beautiful inside, but maybe bring some on the outside.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- What's your ideal look for Mum? - Lots of colour.
0:04:59 > 0:05:05A flowy, long dress, and some nice heels.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07What's your worst scenario with the girls?
0:05:07 > 0:05:12Skirts above the knee, flowery, and being given blonde highlights.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Emily is convinced that I should be blonde!
0:05:15 > 0:05:19We want a sort of Sharon Osbourne look.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23- Not the colour but with the style. - Sounds fabulous!
0:05:23 > 0:05:26How do you feel about letting them take control?
0:05:26 > 0:05:30Terrified! My stomach is churning. Very nervous.
0:05:30 > 0:05:36- Ready to be project managers? - We're ready.
0:05:36 > 0:05:41Nicky is lovely. But she's looking for George Clooney. Aren't we all?
0:05:41 > 0:05:43No blonde and she doesn't want to show her legs.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46OK, so no high expectations - a good start(!)
0:05:46 > 0:05:52Can't wait for tomorrow to quiz the boys. It's going to be really fun.
0:05:52 > 0:05:57I want a George Clooney scruffy look - if you've got one!
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Finding someone special to take Mum out is no easy task.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08But our Project Parent surveillance van is the coolest place to start.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10It has high-tech gadgets and gizmos
0:06:10 > 0:06:14that will allow the girls to interrogate would-be suitors.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18Or with the help of a glamorous bovine assistant.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22If the girls are unimpressed, the buzzer is waiting.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25In fact, watch out, lads, you're in the hot seat.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30We have three guys to be grilled by Emily and Megan.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32First is Paul. Like bilingual Nicky,
0:06:32 > 0:06:35he speaks other languages, including Thai.
0:06:35 > 0:06:40Next is chirpy John. Like Nicky, he has a brilliant sense of humour.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42And finally, charming Russ.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44He'd impress Nicky by being a true gentleman.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48If the girls think the guys aren't up to scratch,
0:06:48 > 0:06:51we have a Plan B - Mum's best friend, Jane.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56Ladies, the first man we have is called Paul. Send him in.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57Come in Paul.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01Looks like Emily and Megan have a surprise in store.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- FARTING - Oh!
0:07:04 > 0:07:06THEY LAUGH
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Can you speak any languages, because my mum can speak French.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16I speak a little bit of Spanish, one or two sentences in French.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20Will you put on the French outfit and say some French words?
0:07:30 > 0:07:31Very good.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- I can do better than that. - Er...
0:07:37 > 0:07:40We want a knight in shining armour to protect Mum.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Please dress up as a knight and show us how you'd scare off a dragon.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46HE ROARS
0:07:46 > 0:07:48THEY LAUGH
0:07:50 > 0:07:54- Take that!- He's getting into that. Come on! Get it!
0:07:55 > 0:07:59- I think you won the battle. He's very enthusiastic.- Yes.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03On a scale of one to ten, how funny do you think you are?
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Oh, about a nine, nine and a half.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Can you tell us your best joke?
0:08:08 > 0:08:10How do you make a milk shake?
0:08:10 > 0:08:12- I don't know. - BAH!
0:08:12 > 0:08:14THEY SNIGGER
0:08:16 > 0:08:18That was rubbish. BUZZER
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- Thank you. Bye.- Bye!
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Thank you, bye-bye!
0:08:23 > 0:08:26If they're fun, their mum is going to be fun too.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30So I'd really, really, really like it. Please vote for me!
0:08:30 > 0:08:32- Let's bring on John. - OK.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35FARTING
0:08:35 > 0:08:36THEY LAUGH
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- Let's have that again. Oi! - FARTING
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Can you describe your personality in three words?
0:08:43 > 0:08:45A bit of a joker.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46"Bit of a joker."
0:08:46 > 0:08:49I like doing things on the spur of the moment.
0:08:49 > 0:08:54And I'm never very serious, except when you just have to be,
0:08:54 > 0:08:57occasionally when things are getting a bit mad.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02That wasn't three words.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Very true, it wasn't three words.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Our mum writes poetry. Can you come up with a poem for her?
0:09:08 > 0:09:11There was a young lady called Nicky. In men she was usually picky.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15She did love the French, but didn't love the stench
0:09:15 > 0:09:17of their breath, because it made her feel sicky.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19That was very good.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Our mum is really into music.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Can you sing or play an instrument?
0:09:24 > 0:09:25Of course I'll have a go.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29# I'll be coming round the mountain when she comes... #
0:09:29 > 0:09:30He's not even playing it!
0:09:30 > 0:09:32# ..I'll be coming round the mountain when she comes
0:09:32 > 0:09:35# I'll be coming round the mountain Coming round the mountain
0:09:35 > 0:09:37# Coming round the mountain when she comes. #
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Yippee-aye!
0:09:39 > 0:09:40THEY CHEER
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Yeah!
0:09:42 > 0:09:44- All right then. Bye. - Thank you. Bye-bye.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46BUZZER
0:09:46 > 0:09:50In the hot seat it was really, really tense.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52But now I feel a bit better
0:09:52 > 0:09:55because I'm out of the seat and the pressure is off.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59OK, let's bring in Russ. Here we go again.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04- FARTING - Oh!
0:10:04 > 0:10:06THEY LAUGH
0:10:06 > 0:10:07A bit cheeky.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Our mum can speak fluent French.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13Will you put on the outfit and say some French for us?
0:10:19 > 0:10:21SHE SNIGGERS
0:10:21 > 0:10:24We're looking for a knight in shining armour to protect our mum.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26- Yes?- Can you dress up as a knight
0:10:26 > 0:10:28and show us how you'd scare off a dragon?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Back off, dragon. Don't come near me.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Stay away. Stay away...
0:10:33 > 0:10:35from Emily and Megan's mum. Stay away.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Aw!
0:10:38 > 0:10:40I think that would've scared them off.
0:10:40 > 0:10:41My mum describes herself as a hippy.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Will you put on the outfit and dance like a hippy?
0:10:45 > 0:10:46Cue music.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49MUSIC PLAYS
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Woo!
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Woo!
0:11:00 > 0:11:02I wasn't afraid at all of the dragon.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05You know, I had the armour, the sword and the shield
0:11:05 > 0:11:06and I just went for it.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Emily, Megan, it's deliberation time.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Time to discuss, because we've got to get rid of one,
0:11:12 > 0:11:14so shall we go through each one?
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- Yes.- All Right. Shall we start off with Paul?- Rah!
0:11:17 > 0:11:19I thought he was very enthusiastic
0:11:19 > 0:11:23and I liked it when he was a knight and he was slaying the dragon.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27- But I thought his jokes were rubbish, really bad.- Not very good?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29So let's move on to number two, John.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30FARTING
0:11:30 > 0:11:34I think that John was very good because he liked the same things
0:11:34 > 0:11:37as my mum and, like, was outdoorsy and walks and stuff.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40But I thought he spoke a bit too much.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- But isn't chatty good?- Yes, but Mum wouldn't get a word in.- Yes.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Finally, we had Russ.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Mon nomme est Russell.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Um, I thought he gave everything a good try.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54He was dead sweet and he was like...Ah!
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Stay away from Emily and Megan's mum.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59And then we've got your mum's friend, Jane.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01- We'll just keep her in for the moment.- Could be a possibility.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Exactly, we never know what's going to happen.
0:12:04 > 0:12:09- So, have you made a decision? - Yes.- You sure?- Yes.- Who's going?
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- This one.- Who's that?- Paul. - Paul? Say goodbye.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17Where it went wrong? I don't know, really. Perhaps it's the jokes.
0:12:17 > 0:12:18Perhaps they didn't like that.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21You hit the nail on the head there, buddy.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26There's still one more hurdle for the remaining two suitors,
0:12:26 > 0:12:29before project managers Emily and Megan
0:12:29 > 0:12:31choose who will whisk mum away to a winter wonderland.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35But first, the girls will need to find the perfect princess dress
0:12:35 > 0:12:38to match their Sharon Osbourne hairstyle for mum.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40You'd better believe it.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Mum Nicky hasn't worn a dress for years.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Sorry, they should never have come in here. They're hideous.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51The bad news is, she's not only terrified of shopping,
0:12:51 > 0:12:55but she thinks dressing rooms are evil.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59The good news is fashion guru Darren Kennedy is on hand to help.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03The girls have never seen Mum glammed up,
0:13:03 > 0:13:05so we've come to a big department store
0:13:05 > 0:13:07full of trendy designer dresses.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10But will Mum still be drawn to the trouser section?
0:13:10 > 0:13:12So here's the deal - we're going to split up.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14- Nicky, you're going shopping on your own.- Really?
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Girls, you're coming with me. Megan, how are you feeling?
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Excited, because I've got power over my mum.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- How about you, Emily?- Excited because I've finally got control.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26- One very simple rule and that is...- No trousers.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- Do you think you're up to it? - I'll do my best.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32And we shall meet you back in the dreaded changing rooms.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- Ha-ha-ha! OK, see you later. - Bye.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- What about that green dress? - That is pretty magnificent.- Yeah.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46- I love the white at the bottom. - Yes, the kind of dip die.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- It's a really on trend and it's very feminine.- Yes.- Very Princessy.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53- That's a keeper. What d'you think of that?- It's quite nice, that.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55It's Princessy, but not too Princessy.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Tell me about this, why you think this would work?
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- It brings you in there. - But I don't like the fabric.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Fabric, I think it might be a bit casual.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08It's been 20 years since Nicky has bought a glamorous dress
0:14:08 > 0:14:10and she's lost all confidence in shopping.
0:14:10 > 0:14:11Argh!
0:14:11 > 0:14:14I've done my sweep already. None of this is nice.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16You see, I scanned it,
0:14:16 > 0:14:21in about two seconds and made a huge assumption that...it's all horrible.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23- You like this? - Yes.- Well then...
0:14:23 > 0:14:26She could have a black belt to tone it down in the middle,
0:14:26 > 0:14:27like, block the colours out.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31That's hideous. I would never, never wear anything like that.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36It's got a nice black but then, bright red flowers.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39That's hideous. The thing I said, with big flowers, that's just...
0:14:39 > 0:14:41I couldn't wear anything like that.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45It's time for Mum to finally face her fears.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47This one.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52- I particularly said this was disgusting.- She don't like it.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56Mum will be trying on clothes chosen for her by Emily and Megan,
0:14:56 > 0:14:57something she's never done before.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- (How do you think she feels? - Nervous.)
0:15:00 > 0:15:02- (Do you think she's nervous?- Yes.)
0:15:02 > 0:15:07How do you feel? You can't even talk.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11OK, Nicky, we're going to count you in. Three, two, one!
0:15:15 > 0:15:20- You look amazing!- You're having a laugh.- We think it's beautiful.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22- Megan agrees with me. - Well nice.- It is.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24I like the belt, because it brings her in.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27And the flower print makes her look dead girly.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31So you've got this belt, so keep that right under there.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33It just gives you this amazing silhouette there.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36- Thumbs up or thumbs-down, girls?- Thumbs up.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- Nice shoes.- Girls, what's the verdict? Thumbs up, thumbs-down?
0:15:44 > 0:15:47- Thumbs in the middle. - Thumbs in the middle.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49GIRLS SQUEAL
0:15:49 > 0:15:56- Wow.- Oh!- It is beautiful.- It's gorgeous, Mummy.- It looks beautiful.
0:15:56 > 0:16:01- Oh!- Wow, I can't believe she's wearing that.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Did you ever think?
0:16:03 > 0:16:07- No.- I thought they would be the last shoes she ever wanted.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Thumbs up, thumbs-down?
0:16:09 > 0:16:13- Thumbs-up.- That was very definite, wasn't it?- Mummy?
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Oh my gosh!
0:16:16 > 0:16:19GIRLS GIGGLE
0:16:19 > 0:16:22- Is this, "I like it" laughing? - Yeah. You look well nice.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24I think it's nice.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27You know what I'm starting to like? This length dress.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- The red one!- And this style dress, I like.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- Not keen on the orange. - And actually trying things on.
0:16:33 > 0:16:3520 years, you've been hiding all this away,
0:16:35 > 0:16:37under jeans and under hoodies,
0:16:37 > 0:16:39when really you should be showing it off.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Thumbs up, thumbs up, thumbs up.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Emily and Megan have narrowed their selection of dresses down to three,
0:16:44 > 0:16:47but you'll have to wait and see which one they've chosen
0:16:47 > 0:16:49for Mum's glamorous treat.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Unexpectedly, I never thought Mum would look
0:16:51 > 0:16:54so beautiful in an outfit that we picked.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00Still in the running to take Mum on a special Princess outing
0:17:00 > 0:17:03are John and Russ, but there can only be one Prince Charming.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06It is a tough decision but luckily,
0:17:06 > 0:17:10Emily and Megan have a cunning little plan to mix and match.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Because our mum likes everything French,
0:17:12 > 0:17:16we've invited John and Russ to join her in a cookery class.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- We want to find out who's kind and funny.- And of course, charming.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23Unbeknownst to Russ and John, Nicky is wearing an earpiece,
0:17:23 > 0:17:26so Megan and Emily can give their mum secret instructions.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Mum, can you hear me?
0:17:29 > 0:17:32- How do you think your mum's feeling right now?- Nervous.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35- Yeah?- Yeah. I don't think she'll know what to expect.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38So let's see how they get on in the kitchen.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40First to meet Nicky is Russ.
0:17:40 > 0:17:47Hello. Hi, I'm Nicky. Nice to meet you. What have we got to do?
0:17:47 > 0:17:52- I have no idea.- Me, neither. No idea at all.- It's a bit awkward.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Luckily, Alex the chef is on hand, to break the ice.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59You've got to pay attention, because it's quite difficult.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00Stirring...
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Time to make a classic French dessert, les crepes -
0:18:03 > 0:18:05pancakes, to you and me!
0:18:05 > 0:18:06Over it goes.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10- That looks nice.- Amazing. - That's how you do it.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13I'll See you guys later. Have fun, have fun. Bye-bye.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16NICKY LAUGHS
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Eventually... There it goes.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23- Too much fat in there. - That is dreadful.- That is awful.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26It's disgusting!
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Is that a pancake or a pork chop?!
0:18:30 > 0:18:34Is there anything you want to test or throw in there?
0:18:34 > 0:18:37We want to see how competitive he is and how funny he can be.
0:18:37 > 0:18:42Mum, have a competition to see how high you can throw the pancakes.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45- How d'you reckon about having a bit of a competition?- Yes.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47- A tossing competition? - No problem.- Yeah?
0:18:47 > 0:18:51- How are you with losing, though? - I'm fine.- Can you cope with it?
0:18:51 > 0:18:52I'm a very good loser. Ready?
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- Woo-hoo!- Yes!
0:19:01 > 0:19:04CRASH OF CROCKERY
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- Oh. - Do you want to come back to yours?
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Squirt the cream on his pancake without him knowing,
0:19:11 > 0:19:13all over his pancake.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16See? It's already better than the other one.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Woo! Ha-ha!
0:19:27 > 0:19:31- It will make it easier to eat. - It's an improvement.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35- These are amazing pancakes. - Didn't we do well?- It's quite good.
0:19:35 > 0:19:40- He's done a good job. - High five. Great to meet you.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- Nice to meet you. - Take care.- See you later.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46- Well done.- Argh!
0:19:46 > 0:19:48My pancake did go a bit wrong, but I'm hoping the girls
0:19:48 > 0:19:51overlook that and invite me to meet their mum again.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Not if our second monsieur has anything to do with it.
0:19:56 > 0:19:57Next up is John.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- Hello.- Hello, I'm John. - Hi, I'm Nicky.- Nice to meet you.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01Nice to meet you.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08- Single cream.- You like France, I hear?- Yes. I did a French degree.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- They're very chatty.- Yes. - Shall we see how kind he is?
0:20:11 > 0:20:15Mum, pretend you've lost your ring on the floor.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Oh, you know what? I had a ring on.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- You had a ring on?- Can you see it?
0:20:23 > 0:20:24It's a small, silver ring.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27He's getting... Helping her, he's getting in there.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31- He's doing more - looking through the batter, through the light.- Yeah.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33- Is it there?- No, I can't...
0:20:33 > 0:20:37I'm sure I had a ring on this morning. I'm sure I did.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41- I didn't notice, I'm afraid, sorry.- I think he's trying.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43He's acting like a gentleman.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Test his sense of humour and squirt cream all over him
0:20:46 > 0:20:47while he's not looking.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50This one goes.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54- All over him?- I mean, the pancakes. - 'Uh-oh. Quick, stop her.'
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- Not really. - Really?- Hello, can you hear?
0:20:57 > 0:20:59'Too late, she's off.'
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Thank you(!)
0:21:05 > 0:21:11- That's fine.- Look at mum! Ha-ha!
0:21:12 > 0:21:16- Oh, look!- You liked it.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- You asked her to squirt it on him? - I didn't mean to.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- Ta-da! - Look at that.- Look at that.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- Bon appetit.- Aah. - Thank you very much, well done.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Ahhh!
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- It was great to meet you. - Take care.- And you. Enjoy France.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36- Thank you, goodbye. - Well done, that was good.- Argh!
0:21:36 > 0:21:40I had a really good time with Nicky and I think the cooking went well
0:21:40 > 0:21:42and I'd really like to find out some more about her.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47- Right, Emily and Megan, this is a tricky part for you?- Yes.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49You've got to make a decision -
0:21:49 > 0:21:52who's going to spend some quality time with your mum?
0:21:52 > 0:21:54But, before you tell me the name of the person,
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- shall we just have a little bit of a recap?- Yes.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Yes? To make things a bit clearer in your mind.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01I've got my pictures here to help you.
0:22:01 > 0:22:06So, we had Russ, John and your mum's best friend, Jane.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Russ was first in the kitchen. What were your thoughts?
0:22:09 > 0:22:14When Russ met my mum, it was a bit awkward with the conversation
0:22:14 > 0:22:16and they didn't really bond very well.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20But I thought, by the end of it, the conversation got better,
0:22:20 > 0:22:23and the pancake thing was quite funny because he burned it
0:22:23 > 0:22:26and the squirty cream thing and he had a little giggle at the end.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29And then John came into the kitchen. Did you like him?
0:22:29 > 0:22:33Well, I thought when John met my mum, they connected very well
0:22:33 > 0:22:37and it was, like, a good vibe and it flowed very well.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41But, oh, my goodness, wasn't the cream in his face hilarious?
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- That was so funny. - That was, like, the best bit.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47And we've got your mum's friend, Jane. What do you want me to do?
0:22:47 > 0:22:50I think we should keep her in, just to add a bit of spice.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54- And suspense?- Yes. - That's a possibility.- OK.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57- So let's mix them up. Have you had a good chat?- Yes.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Have you decided who it's going to be?
0:23:00 > 0:23:02- I think it's going to be... - Yes, who's it going to be?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04BOTH: I think it's going to be that one.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11There's one final stage before mum turns into a princess
0:23:11 > 0:23:13and meets the prince the girls have chosen for her.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16So, it can only mean one thing - makeover time!
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Let's hope the girls are up for it.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20So, Nicky, you've just had your hair washed.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23You're about to guess the colour.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Girls, how are you feeling? Lot of responsibility for you guys.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29- I'm excited to see what it's going to turn out like.- We want it to work
0:23:29 > 0:23:32because it was our idea and we do not want her to look silly.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Mum doesn't know what we're doing. How are you feeling?
0:23:35 > 0:23:37- Very sick to my stomach.- Don't be!
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Listen, if you don't like it, you can always change it.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43- Hair always grows back. - You can dye it.- You can.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Take one last look at yourself, because it's the last time
0:23:46 > 0:23:48you'll see yourself until we're complete.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52Mum's Sharon Osbourne hairstyle is well underway,
0:23:52 > 0:23:54'but she's not the only one who needs to get ready.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57'Emily and Megan have to make a very important phone call.'
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Who have they chosen to take mum out?
0:23:59 > 0:24:00PHONE RINGS
0:24:00 > 0:24:03We've picked you to go on a special night out with our mum.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Come to the castle.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08For 20 years, mum has dressed head to toe in black.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12Rarely has she wore make-up and only wears trousers.
0:24:12 > 0:24:17This will be the first time the girls have seen her glammed up.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23Project managers Emily and Megan have family and friends together
0:24:23 > 0:24:26to reveal mum's new princess look.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Very nervous.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31I don't know how Nicky's feeling, because I'm shaking.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34I can't wait to see Nicky walking through the door.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Have they pulled it off?
0:24:44 > 0:24:45CHEERING
0:24:48 > 0:24:50You look amazing.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- What do you think? - You look dead good.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56I never thought she would look like that. She looks nice.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Whoa, baby, don't cry.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Nicky has spent the entire day having her hair and make-up done
0:25:03 > 0:25:05and has not looked in the mirror.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Will Emily and Megan's new Sharon Osbourne-inspired hairstyle
0:25:08 > 0:25:10be a shock to their mum?
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Three...two...one!
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Oh, my gosh!
0:25:16 > 0:25:18No way!
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Oh, my gosh!
0:25:26 > 0:25:31- How does it feel? - Great. I feel really elegant.- Wow.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34- She looks amazing. - She looks well good.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37She really does. I didn't think she'd look like that.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39I'm so happy. A little hug.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42I like seeing my mum at the end. She looked dead pretty.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47- Sorry. - I think me and Megan did very good.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52Because she looks really pretty and from, like, jeans and a jumper,
0:25:52 > 0:25:55it's a real transformation. She does look like a princess.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57I think they were overwhelmed.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59I don't think they've seen me look like this.'
0:26:02 > 0:26:04So gorgeous.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Mum's fairytale hasn't ended.
0:26:07 > 0:26:12Her prince has arrived. But you have the girls matched with their mum?
0:26:18 > 0:26:22- Ha, ha, ha! Hello.- Nice to see you again.- You, too.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Gosh, that's good, as well.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28- You look very beautiful today.- Thank you very much.- I've got some flowers.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30That's really kind of you. Thank you.
0:26:30 > 0:26:35- We've got no time to waste. Let's go.- OK.- Bye!
0:26:35 > 0:26:36See you later, girls.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43I'm very proud of Megan and I'm proud of myself
0:26:43 > 0:26:44and I think my mum looks amazing.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48I think that John was the right guy to pick for my mum.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52They're going to have a wonderful time together.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58The girls have made a great choice. I've had a great time with John.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02- Really, really nice guy, yes. - She looked like a princess.
0:27:02 > 0:27:03She's a lovely person.
0:27:03 > 0:27:08We have quite a lot in common and it's obvious that her enthusiasm
0:27:08 > 0:27:12for life has been given to her children and they're lovely, too.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15I think by doing this we've boosted my mum's confidence
0:27:15 > 0:27:16and put a smile on her face.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Cheers.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20'Today - I'll never forget it.'
0:27:20 > 0:27:23It's an unforgettable experience
0:27:23 > 0:27:27and I feel proud to be their mum.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31To make her smile and to make her so happy has been brilliant.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42- You know what, Cow? I'm really, proud of Emily and Megan.- Moo!
0:27:42 > 0:27:44They did a fantastic job as project managers
0:27:44 > 0:27:48- and Nicky looked every inch the fairytale princess.- Moo!
0:27:48 > 0:27:52Want me to read you a story? No problem, I love stories.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55"Once upon a time, there was a mum who lived in a bright, yellow
0:27:55 > 0:27:59"knitted jumper and only... left the house to get milk"?
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Cow, this is a horror story. Hoove it!
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Another parent, another project.
