Olly Murs Remote Control Star

Have you ever wanted to control a celebrity?

-Make your wish their command?

-This is the show where three mates

take charge of a star for the day, controlling them

-through funny situations.

-Like these.

Kick the bench down by accident.

Tidy this stuff up.

Pretend to slip over.

Oh!

Squirt it at him.

Ah! Ho-oh-oh, oh-ah!

Now be a duck.

Quack, quack, quack.

All the action takes place in our celebrity house.

It's rigged from top to bottom with hidden cameras and microphones,

and our Remote Controllers will be based here...

in this hi-tech control room,

giving their star instructions via a secret earpiece.

It's time to remote-control another star.

Let's meet today's Remote Controllers.

My name is Josh. I'm 12 and I'm the prankster of the group.

Hello, I'm Jamie and I'm the brains of the group.

Hello, I'm Tom and I'm the imaginative one out of the group,

and I'm going to try and make our star look as silly as possible.

I think we're going to perform well,

because we've known each other since we were really little.

We're a very good package.

We've got imaginative, smart and cheeky,

and I think they're three, like, very good things to have.

We're all capable of working in a team,

and we're all really good friends, so we'll be able to do well.

So we've met our Remote Controllers. Now it is time to meet today's star.

Today's star was an X Factor finalist

and now is a number-one pop singer. Are we ready, guys?

TOGETHER: Yeah!

Today's Remote Control Star is Olly Murs!

How you doing?

-All right.

-Good? What's your names?

-Jamie.

-Jamie.

-Josh.

-Josh.

-Tom.

-Tom.

Looking at these Remote Controllers, Olly, we've got the loud one...

-I'm not loud!

-All right, calm it.

-The cheeky one.

-You what, granddad?

-All right, all right!

-And we've definitely got the one with the brains here.

-Loving it!

We'll get on. You're a brilliant package.

It's an interesting blend.

-Are you going to make this easy?

-No.

I don't think you are, are you?

Olly, you have to promise

-to do everything the Remote Controllers tell you to.

-I do.

There you go, he's up for it.

-Come on!

-Olly, this is our Remote Control Star hidden earpiece.

You wear that with pride. So you go off that way for challenge one.

-OK.

-Good luck, Olly. Guys, are you ready?

-Yeah!

Let's play Remote Control Star!

Olly's ready in the kitchen. Four cameras are covering his every move.

It's time for the first of his three challenges.

EARPIECE FEEDS BACK

-Olly, it's JK here. Can you hear me?

-Yeah, I can hear you. Yes, mate.

It's time to put you to the test for real.

Now, you seem like a lovely bloke.

Were you neat and tidy growing up?

No, I was always really messy.

OK, so the kitchen looks familiar?

-Yes.

-So you did get in trouble for being messy?

-Yes.

-Olly, it's Joel here.

-Hi, Joel.

-Here's the challenge for you.

-OK.

So, you know the kitchen mess?

Yes, it is horribly in a mess.

-I am going to help you out.

-OK.

-I have booked a cleaner.

She's going to come round and tidy up and scrub everything for you.

-Brilliant.

-Trouble is, instead of being the nice chap that you are

and letting the cleaner finish in peace,

you're going to have a case of butter fingers.

So you need to accidentally-on-purpose

-keep making a mess all over the place.

-Right.

Olly, you have to make sure the kitchen's much dirtier

after the cleaner has already been at work for 15 minutes, all right?

He's got 15 minutes

to keep accidentally-on-purpose dirtying the kitchen

as the cleaner tries to tidy up without her suspecting him.

Tasks will pop up on this screen.

Will the Remote Controllers be able to get Olly to do them?

Listen out for the doorbell. Once that doorbell goes,

-we're under way. You ready?

-Yeah.

The cleaner knows nothing about the cameras.

Right, the cleaner's arrived and Olly's pretend assistant

is showing her through. Game on!

-ASSISTANT:

-Olly, Amira's here.

-Good to meet you.

-Good to meet you.

-I'm OK. I hope I didn't disturb your schedule today.

-Don't be silly.

No, no. I've just come back from the weekend,

and the kitchen is in an absolute state, so...

-Don't worry.

-..I need your help to clean it.

-All your cleaning products are just here.

-OK.

We've also got the mop and the bucket in the corner and stuff.

-Do you have a vacuum cleaner?

-A vacuum cleaner? Erm...

Say you've lost it.

-I probably think that's broke, actually, to be honest.

-OK.

BLEEPING

Right, let's see how convincingly Olly can act the clumsy clod.

Right, you've got to accidentally spill cereal all over the place.

OK.

Yeah, that should be fine.

OLLY HUMS

-CEREAL SPILLS

-Oh...

Who'd have thought Olly was such a clown?

-Stand in it. Crush it. Stand in it.

-We definitely need that... Oh.

Will the cleaner stand for this?

-We definitely need a broom or something.

-She's so patient.

Right, shout, "Bob, where's the vacuum cleaner?"

Bob, where's the vacuum cleaner?

-Bob?

-Olly hasn't even got a mate called Bob.

In fact, there's no-one called Bob in the house.

Start kicking it around.

Jamie's doing a great job on the mic here.

We'll just see if... Oh!

Olly, sit in the cereal and start throwing it up in the air.

I'll just start helping you clean this up.

Come on, please, I will do it.

No, no, that's fine, I can...

Oh... Oh...

Now stand up.

Quality cereal spilling.

Nice one, Remote Controllers. Good work, Olly.

Five minutes gone now.

She doesn't suspect a thing.

BLEEPING

Let's see how Olly copes when we make him become a sandwich buffoon.

Right, Olly, you've got to make a really, really big sandwich

and then spill all the fillings on the floor.

I'm probably going to make a sandwich.

-Do you want anything to eat?

-No, I'm fine.

-Are you sure?

Olly, shout out, "Bob, do you want a sandwich?"

Bob, do you want a sandwich?

Bob?

Do it where she's just cleaned and make it all messy again.

She's bound to wonder what's wrong with Olly soon.

-I'll just do it here.

-I don't want you

to leave any bread on the surface.

All right, OK. Right, OK.

She doesn't like mucky pop stars messing up the worktop

she's just cleaned.

He's got to keep this going for another five minutes.

Put some brown sauce in it and start squirting it everywhere.

Oh...

Tell him he has to spill it.

Right, now you've to spill the sandwich

all over the thing that she's just cleaned.

Oh! This is absolutely disgusting.

Spread it all out on the table to show her the ingredients.

Oh, look at it. It's not nice.

Does it look off to you, that bread?

-Sorry?

-That bread look off to you?

Great remote-controlling, lads. What must she think of him?

He's not even using a plate!

-BLEEPING

-Jamie, Josh and Tom need

to think of an excuse for Olly to go outside

and get his feet filthy in these tubs of mud that we've left.

Olly, walk muddy footprints everywhere.

There's loads of mud outside.

Say you've lost your keys outside.

Bob, my keys outside?

Some of the guys were saying my keys

were left outside or something, so I'll be two minutes.

Olly's got to muck up his shiny white plimsolls and then wipe mud

all over the floor in the last two minutes of this challenge. Nice one!

-What must she think of him?

-Oh, my feet are all dirty...

Oh, it's not as messy as we'd expected on the floor.

Can the Remote Controllers come up with a final flourish?

Time's running out.

Take off your shoes and put them on the table.

Oh, no. Look at the state of them.

Yeah, they've kept the kitchen messy for 15 minutes

without the cleaner suspecting

Olly was anything other than a mucky man.

Time to reveal the joke.

Now you have got to reveal it to her that she's just been pranked.

Right, Amira, I've got to reveal that we just did a prank on you.

-Oh, brilliant!

-It is official, you are an absolute angel. You are.

-You were smiling the whole way through.

-I know.

Did you not think he was weird?

He was a little bit.

The weirdest one was the shoes on the table top.

-It's bad luck!

-I know!

The sandwich was OK.

But the shoes? I don't think so.

The funniest bit for me was when he was doing...

Like, mucking around in the cereal.

He was really funny.

It was funny with the brown sauce all over the worktop.

I thought it was hilarious.

I was trying not to laugh too loud, it was so funny.

I think that she was being nice to him,

because if he was a normal person, she'd have walked out straightaway.

Right, it's time to get your remote-control heads on again.

As you can see, Olly Murs is in the house, which means it's time

to invite someone else around so he can misbehave. Headphones on.

Olly, it's JK. Can you hear me?

-I can, JK.

-Can I first off say that you are a brilliant sport?

-Oh, thank you.

-Carrying on throughout this

even though you're terribly ill at the moment.

Oh, really, am I supposed to be ill?

Well, actually, Olly, you're burning up with a fever.

You are so poorly, it's untrue.

And this next challenge, we're going to invite a handyman round,

and you're going to be so ill that you can barely open the door.

You haven't got the strength.

Right.

You're so, so poorly he's going to turn into your special nurse.

But as ever, the Remote Controllers will be here to guide you through.

Team, let's do this.

Get yourself on that sofa and get your duvet over you.

-Right.

-And look poorly. Off you go.

-OK, I'm ready.

-OK, let's listen out for that doorbell.

Right, so the handyman's been booked to build Olly a table

and then he's going to be turned into a kind of handy nurse.

This is going to be ace. Here he comes.

As before, Olly's pretend assistant answers the door,

and Olly's got to stay on the sofa playing ill.

-ASSISTANT:

-I think he's just in here.

-Is he?

-Just follow me. Olly?

-Yeah?

-You all right?

-Yeah. You all right?

-Jason's just here to do some work.

-Jason...

-Don't get up.

Stay where you are.

Oh! I'm struggling. Sorry, mate.

-Feeling ill at the moment.

-I'll be out here if you need me, Jason.

What's Josh going to be like on the mic? Funny, I hope.

All I've got is just this table here.

Olly, sneeze really loudly.

JASON: This one here? LOUD SNEEZE

Sorry.

BLEEPING

Get him to serve some crisps or drinks to you.

Mate, you couldn't just pass us them crisps?

-Are they tempting you?

-Is that all right? Yeah, I was thinking...

-They looking at you?

-Ah, thanks, mate. Perfect.

-Do you want one?

-No, I'm fine, but thank you for asking.

-You sure?

Yeah, I'm absolutely fine.

Tell him they're salt and vinegar.

They're salt and vinegar though, come on.

-They're good.

-No, they're not, they're prawn cocktail.

I think they're actually prawn cocktail

mixed in with salt and vinegar.

Nice play, Josh.

You've got Olly going in circles.

Olly's a properly pampered pretend-ill pop star now.

He's got his cake,

his prawn-cocktail/salt-and-vinegar crisps...

BLEEPING

..can he get him to take his temperature?

Olly, get him to take your temperature and pamper you.

I'm trying to check my temperature at the moment.

Do you know how to work these things?

-Say, "Will you show me where?"

-Will you just...

JASON: Just sit with it underneath your tongue.

-Yeah?

-Yep, that's it.

-Yeah? Right.

Keep it there.

-35!

-Yes, he's done it!

He's taken his temperature.

Well done. Time to see if this handyman will go the extra mile.

Olly, try and get the man to pedal 20 miles on your exercise bike.

That's so cheeky! He'll never get him to ride his exercise bike.

-Will he?

-I've got my personal trainer coming round later.

-Right.

-And he wants me to do...

Great remote controlling, boys.

Olly's got the handyman dancing to his tune now.

..on the exercise bike. Just to, like... Because he's so bossy.

Yeah, unless you want to test it out and see if it...

The Remote Controllers need to think of an excuse

for Olly to get the guy to pedal his bike.

-Because you're too ill.

-Yeah, I'm just really ill. I just can't do it.

He wants me to do 2.5...

Olly, tell him to get on it and pedal.

How you work it, you have to get on it and pedal

and it starts working or something. Just turn it.

-If you start to turn it, if you get on it and turn it... Yeah.

-Nice one!

-He's actually doing it!

-There's a tension thing there, isn't there?

OK, that's less. That's easier.

-Is it easier, yeah?

-Much easier.

Ask him how many miles he's done.

How many miles has it done now?

It hasn't done any!

Well, if you get to 2.5, let me know!

The handyman's gone the distance, and so has this prank.

It's time to reveal the joke.

You're on hidden camera, you see, so if you do a few more miles...

That was brilliant.

What were your first impressions when you walked in?

Because you saw Olly on the sofa there

feeling very poorly and sorry for himself.

I said to him he didn't look well.

My favourite part was the thermometer, and the guy had to put

it in his mouth and show him where under his tongue he had to put it.

I thought that was really funny.

Olly persuaded him to get on to the exercise bike

because he actually believed him, so he did really well.

-That was the best bit.

-How many miles has it done now?

Yeah, I think he was quite convincing at being ill.

He could have put on a bit more of a voice,

but yeah, I think he did a really good job.

It's brilliant that all these stars have agreed

to be remote controlled through tricky situations on our show.

But to make things fair, we've promised

to take a taste of our own medicine. Have a look at this.

It's JK and Joel remote-controlled.

So, then, this is the part of the show where we have to do

exactly what we're told by remote-control text message.

The thing is, we never know what's coming,

but we have promised to obey every order no matter how awful.

And right on cue, here's a text.

-Go in the cafe and order a gutbuster breakfast each.

-One each!

Brilliant. Bacon, eggs, sausage,

beans, tomatoes, fried bread, toast, black pudding. I love it.

No, no, no, I'm not feeling this.

-Why?

-Think about it.

We might have to do the washing up.

I do not look good in an apron.

MOBILE PHONE BEEPS

Hang on. Text. Here we go.

"You must now spice up each other's breakfast

"using as much as the table sauces as you think they deserve."

-Ah, right, so I'm going to do yours and you're going to do mine?

-Yeah.

Do you like tomato ketchup?

Yeah, I do like a bit of tomato ketchup, actually. Not too much.

-Yeah, just a little bit, yeah?

-Just a little bit, yeah.

OK. You know how I like it. Yeah.

Yeah. How are you on barbecue sauce?

Oh, I love barbecue sauce.

-Do you like it lots?

-I love lots.

-How much is lots?

-Absolutely loads.

-Do you really?

-Yeah.

-OK. Brilliant.

-Brown sauce?

Brown sauce.

Not too much brown sauce.

Not too much brown sauce.

Just an incy-wincy little bit.

-Yeah. OK, yeah.

-OK.

-That's good, just a little bit. Apple sauce?

-Piccalilli?

-Mayonnaise?

-Vinegar?

-No.

By the way, tell me when to stop.

-Stop!

-OK. All done?

-Yeah, I'm finished, then we'll swap round.

I think you're going to be really impressed.

I'm sure I will be.

-I think you've spilt your tea.

-Pardon?

I think you've spilt your tea.

I think it is tea. You're right. Are you ready?

-How's yours?

-Yeah, it's great.

It looks like it's been flooded.

-Shall we eat?

-Erm, yeah.

Apple sauce on bacon.

Actually, apple sauce...

Oh, look, pickled bacon!

Oh, yeah, I got it. It's got a bit of piccalilli on it.

Mint sauce and egg. I've never tried that before.

Do you know what? All in all, Joel, you've been quite nice to me.

Y'know, apart from the piccalilli,

the brown sauce as well on the beans. Do you know what, though?

I do feel a little bit guilty,

because I was quite nasty to you, really.

I put lots of vinegar on there.

Y'know, it's nice to know that you've forgiven me.

Listen, he's gone all quiet, look.

He loves his food, he does.

Don't you, Joel?

Joel?

-Is that disgusting?

-Yeah.

-Anyway, I'm not talking to you.

-Why?

-Because I'm not. Because I ate almost all of my breakfast

before I realised that you'd gone.

Oh, I'm sorry, mate. I'll make it up to you. You know I always do.

I really hope you do, actually,

because I didn't think you were the kind of person that wouldn't listen

to a thing that I'd said, and I thought that you've always paid

attention to me throughout these years, and if you were the ki...

If you were the k... Are you listening?

Eh? Quarter past four.

-Ready for the next challenge?

-Yeah!

Here at the celebrity house, Josh, Jamie and Tom are in position,

ready to remote-control their star Olly Murs through his final task.

Right, Olly's in the sitting room.

We're getting ready for our final challenge.

And believe me, this one is going to be really, really tough.

Headphones on.

Right, Olly, here we go.

Now, being a famous celebrity, you'll need a bodyguard.

But don't worry, we've sorted it.

We've fixed you up with a big, burly chap

-who you're going to interview for the job.

-Right, OK.

You're also going to have to give him the weirdest job interview

of his life. Are you up for this?

'Yes, course I'm up for it. Yeah.'

Brilliant. The Remote Controllers

will tell you what to say and do to get away with it.

So Olly's got to give the bodyguard the weirdest job interview ever.

Can't wait to see this.

As before, extra-tricky tasks will pop up here

to make Josh, Jamie and Tom's challenge all the tougher.

And just a reminder,

the bodyguard knows nothing about the hidden cameras.

So, everyone stand by.

Let's wait for that doorbell.

DOORBELL RINGS

'Olly? Hi, this is Mark.'

-'All right, Mark.'

-'How you doing?'

-Nice to meet you, mate. How are you?

-Good, thank you.

-Do you want to put your bag down? How you been? You been good?

-Yeah.

Let's found out how inventive these Remote Controllers are.

Olly, ask him how he would defend you against some chasing girls.

So, what about chasing girls and stuff?

How would you defend me against girls?

Cos obviously, depending on...

If there are girls that are willing to jump all over you,

then I will speak to them, keep your arm's distance away from them.

TOM: What about angry pensioners?

Oh, loving your work on the mic, Tom!

Sometimes I've even had angry pensioners,

like, shouting things at me or throwing things at me.

Once again, that's where I'll come into it.

I can keep anything else away from you so you can carry on as normal.

I'll deal with that.

It's good to know that Mark

is confident against dangerous pensioners.

"I'm a bit afraid of birds,

so what if chickens or pigeons are chasing after me?"

What about if they've got animals or anything?

I'm quite scared of, like...

Once again, it's all to do with verbal communication.

"I'm scared of chickens."

If we're going into an area where there are animals and stuff...

Especially chickens.

Yeah. I'm scared of them myself!

BLEEPING

Make him wear the jacket and see how quickly he can get out of the props.

Well, listen, I've got a jacket that I've done.

It's just the jacket that I thought we could wear.

That jacket contains a load of silly props which Olly's got to

try and get Mark the bodyguard to whip out as quick as possible.

Will he even wear that daft coat?

-You'd like me to wear this?

-Yeah, yeah, if you put it on...

I don't know if it fits. It's just got a few things in it.

-If you just want to try it on?

-Yeah.

-Yes, he's put it on!

-I've got here my pen, I've got some autograph bits

that we use just to sign, just some pictures of me, you know?

Yeah. As you do.

As you do. And inside we've just got a brush and some make-up and...

And that's just a small torch just as I'm walking along

-and stuff like that, you know?

-It's quite heavy.

Is it quite heavy?

All these other bits, then.

Yeah, yeah, course, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Wait till he sees the specially silly assault course ready outside.

BLEEPING

Get him to do the assault course

and test him on how quickly he can draw out the props.

If you just want to follow me, we'll go outside for a minute.

-Do you want me to keep this on?

-Yeah, just keep it on for a second.

Yeah, yeah. I just... I haven't done this before, you know what I mean?

So, what I've done is, I've got, like, this small thing outside...

Get him to do the assault course and say,

"You'd better be careful of the pensioners."

What we're going to do is just pretending

that we're going through a crowd of pensioners, dogs, cars.

So if you just come behind me?

Cos... Can I have the pen? Can I have the pen?

Can I have the pen, have the pen?

Yeah, so I'm autographs, autographs, autographs, yeah, yeah, yeah.

-Like that, yeah.

-Careful, there's a chicken and duck.

Be careful of the chicken.

-Duck, duck. Girls, girls.

-This is ridiculous.

How long can the Remote Controllers make Olly keep this silliness up?

Get him to do the assault course and pelt him with socks.

So what we'll do is if you could do that one more time?

-You want me to do that?

-Yeah, just one more time. Cos, obviously,

a lot of fans, they chuck gifts.

Duck and block. I'm just going to throw a few things at you, yeah?

Will Mark the bodyguard go along with Olly's strange request?

'Do you want me to go quicker or a bit slower?'

I don't know if you'll be able to keep up.

-Just reasonable pace, yeah, as if you were...

-Quick and slow. A mix.

-Just quick and slow, however you want to go.

-Really quick, sprint.

Quite quick, if you can.

-So if I just... Yeah.

-He will!

Outstanding remote controlling.

Yes! Olly's out of socks.

Great work, Remote Controllers.

-Time to reveal the joke.

-See?

Right, kids, tell him to reveal he's been remote-controlled.

Olly, JK and Joel are coming. You can say now.

Listen, you was able to dodge...

-Sweaty socks...

-Sweaty socks and balloons,

but you wasn't able to dodge our hidden cameras.

THEY CHEER

-Thank you very much.

-Fantastic!

Mark, I would hire you. There is no doubt in my mind, I would hire you.

You were just brilliant.

-It was the eyes looking round all the time.

-Well, you never know.

You expect the unexpected, don't you?

There must have been something a bit strange, surely,

going on in your mind when there's a coffee cup

attached to your jacket and a slight microphone here...

Whatever floats your boat, really.

TOM: I think he did brilliantly.

That was the best one yet.

I thought it was really believable,

and I just think the task was so much fun. It was really good.

The funniest bit was where he was throwing stuff at him

and he was just, like, going along with it.

See?

I think he did really, well and I thought it was really good that

he pulled it off and the guy didn't suss him out.

Yeah, I think Olly did great.

To keep a straight face through all of that,

that's just really hard, and he did it really well.

THEY CHEER

Oh! So then, Olly Murs, how have you enjoyed Remote Control Star today?

It has been brilliant.

I've really, really enjoyed it. It's been good fun.

-We had a great time, didn't we?

-Tom, what was your favourite bit?

My favourite bit was on the assault course. He said, "Chicken, duck,"

and Olly ducked and so did the security guard,

-which I thought was so funny.

-Be careful of the chicken.

-Duck, duck.

-I liked it when he walked through the kitchen

with muddy shoes then plopped them on the table.

Look at the state of them. I mean, I couldn't believe these guys got me

to sit in the cereal on the floor, crunched all over my trousers.

-Everywhere!

-So has this been the most unbelievable day for you?

-Yes.

All right. I have something for you. You won't forget us. A hoodie.

You can wear these with pride.

-They're exclusive, these.

-Cool.

And look at that, a Remote Control Star baseball hat.

-Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

-So, you guys had a great time today?

-Yeah!

-Yes! And, sadly, that's all we have time for.

Until next time when we put another star together

with three Remote Controllers here on...

ALL: Remote Control Star!
