Rav Wilding 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

controlling them through funny situations like these...

Kick the bench down by accident.

Accidentally spill cereal all over the place.

Oh, dear!

Start dancing.

# I'm the king of the jungle, yes I am! #

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.

I'm Frankie and I'll be good at Remote Control Star

because I can think of weird and random ideas.

I'm Ellie.

I can be quite bossy so remote control star, watch out!

I'm Tamara.

I'm quite brainy so I can think outside the box.

Tamara is the brains of the group.

She's always using long words that me and Francesca's can't understand.

Ellie's strengths are she's very talkative and makes friends easily.

Frankie is the biggest prankster in the group.

She pulls lots of little pranks which are really annoying.

Remote controllers are here, we're here.

It's time to start the show. Where's the star?

Today's star used to be a policeman

and is now a TV presenter for Cop School, Crimewatch and lots more.

Today's remote control star is...

TV presenter Rav Wilding!

THEY CHEER

-How are you? Nice to meet you, how are you?

-Good.

Excellent. Good to see you.

First impressions, let's start with Ellie.

-I think she's going to take charge. Are you going to be nice?

-No!

Frankie in the middle.

-You look quite innocent, are you going to be nice to me today?

-No!

It's going to be tough taking orders.

It's totally a role reversal.

Tamara, you look very sweet.

Like butter wouldn't melt in your mouth.

-But I don't think that's the case.

-No!

Right, do you promise to obey our remote controllers

no matter how tricky the orders?

It's tough but yeah. I'm not messing with this lot.

This is your hidden earpiece.

You need to go that way for challenge one.

-Good luck, Rav. Remote controllers, are you ready?

-Yes!

Let's get on with challenge one. Come on!

Rav is in position in the kitchen.

Four cameras are covering his every move,

it's time for the first of three challenges.

Headphones on, lights down.

It's time to get on with the first challenge.

-Have you heard about your fabulous art skills?

-No!

You're a top artist but you create artwork with your feet!

You need to dip your feet in paint

'and dance all over to create a fabulous painting.'

I can't paint with my hands, let alone my feet!

Here's the best bit - we booked a tree surgeon

to chat about redesigning your garden and trimming some trees.

But you have to impress this gardener

with your artwork and then get him to join in with your silly paintings.

Good luck! Wait for the doorbell. Remote controllers, get ready.

He's got 10 minutes to become the most artistic client

the tree surgeon has ever met.

Tasks will pop up on this screen.

Will the remote controllers be able to get him to do them?

-DOORBELL RINGS

-Huh! Doorbell!

I'm really nervous.

So, the cameras are set.

Rav's ready and the tree surgeon has just arrived.

Rav's pretend assistant brings him through.

It's out here What I want you to have a look at.

I wouldn't mind getting rid of the trees, personally.

They're in the garden looking at the trees.

This is just a ploy to get the tree surgeon close to Rav's artwork

so the remote controllers can start having fun. Here goes!

I'm into my art. It's really blocking out my sun.

Can you do some art?

I'm going to do some painting. I'm a bit behind.

My tutor's coming at 12.30.

I'm going to take a few pictures and check with my boss

to see what he reckons.

"'Take pictures of my art."

Can you... If you're taking pictures of the trees,

you could do me a favour, I wouldn't mind

a picture of some of the artwork to let them know the sort of things

we're doing in the house.

It's going really well.

He doesn't suspect a thing! Good work!

"'I'll do a picture for you."

-I can do a picture for you, if you want.

-Excellent.

What would you like?

He thinks he's here to cut trees

but the remote controllers have other ideas.

"I'm doing a picture of Miley Cyrus next week."

I'm doing one for Miley Cyrus next week - the actor.

"What do you think of the Justin Bieber picture?"

What you think of the Justin Bieber picture?

-This one?

-Yeah.

Good.

It's all right, it's one of my earlier ones.

"How much can I sell it for?"

People don't realise you can paint with feet.

-What do you think I could sell it for?

-I don't know, actually!

"I've had an offer of £50,000."

There was this guy in Dubai

who offered £50,000 just from what he's seen.

-Really?

-Yeah.

Rav is thinking well on his feet.

Let's see if he can paint a picture with them, too.

"'I'll sign up now if you paint with me."

-You could do me a massive favour, actually.

-What's that?

I want you to do the job but if you wouldn't mind sticking

some paint on there cos my tutor is coming round at 1.30.

I've really got to go. I've got another job on.

I've just dropped by to look at the trees.

Oh, no! The remote controllers need to think of a quick plan

to make him stay!

-"Please, you can use your hands."

-You can even use your hands, mate.

If I've not done these two by the time she comes,

I'll get chucked off my course.

"I'm doing Terry Wogan next week."

I've had a request in, between us,

Terry Wogan has asked for me to do a picture with my feet.

You can't turn down people down like that, can you?

He's a good name.

Oh, dear.

He looks more interested in his phone than he does in the paintings.

Rav has got to keep him here for another 30 seconds.

Are you all right to give us a hand quickly?

-What have I got to do?

-Use the paint there...

"Can you do hand prints?"

Just to do some handprints, actually.

Can you do face but just with your hands?

Make sense? Mate, you'd really help me out.

Yes! He's going for it!

There's a lot of interest. Bizarre, isn't it?

Everyone is talking about the Rav paintings now!

These remote controllers are unbelievable.

That's quite good. Just put a face in the middle.

That's enough, tell him the paintings look great

but not as he looks as good on a hidden-camera TV show.

We're coming in!

To me, that looks pretty brilliant. But then so do you.

You're on a hidden-camera show.

Yes, you are!

Well done for being such a good sport!

I knew there was something going on!

-How are you doing?

-How are you, buddy? Rav, come round.

I was going to shake your hand!

Danny, you haven't finished yet.

You've done the face but you haven't done the mouth.

-I'll do the mouth, yeah.

-He's going to do it, look!

There you go.

I think it was really funny when he started painting

because the guy looked at him in a really weird way.

As if to say, what are you doing?

-That challenge was amazing!

-Really funny.

-And brilliant.

You've been brilliant so far.

-Are you ready to guide Rav through the next challenge?

-Oh, yes!

Rav, are you ready for your next set of orders?

I'm glad you said orders because that's what they'll be!

One question, Rav, are you feeling hungry?

-A little.

-Good, good.

Don't think we're a little bit strange but we've something for you.

There's one plaster cast. And there's the other plaster cast.

Oh, I've got two.

We need you to pretend that you've had an accident.

-I'm going to be wearing these, aren't I?

-Off you go!

-Be nice!

Good luck squeezing into that!

Remote controllers, headphones on. Lights down.

I've already got my earpiece in this time

so what have you got in store for me, lads, dressed like this?

Rav, there's a plumber coming.

And he thinks he's going to fix the sink.

Your task will be to get him to help you with the things you can't manage.

The remote controllers are going to help you set silly tasks

that you can't possibly do on your own.

And you've to keep this up for 15 whole minutes.

-15 minutes?!

-Yes.

-How am I going to do that?

-Let's listen out for the doorbell.

The plumber has been called in to fix the sink

and he has to help Rav in ways he's never imagined.

I can't wait to see this!

DOORBELL RINGS

-Hello, mate.

-I'm Rav. I'd shake your hand but I'm a bit tied up. Rugby.

This is it here. It's a bit tricky.

I've not long had it installed but I'm not really feeling that.

I want to know what we can do,

if we can have something bigger, perhaps with more pressure.

If you give it to go, it's all right but I'd like it boosted.

Rav has to pretend to be hungry next

and with two fake broken arms, he'll have to blag the plumber's help.

"Please will you make me some lunch?"

You couldn't pass us one of those plates so I can do a sandwich?

The big one, boss. Yeah, I was going to do a sandwich.

Will the plumber stand for this? How will he react to Rav's demands?

Would you mind...

You want me to butter it?

Would you mind just helping me out?

-What are you having on it?

-A bit of ham.

-I've got some ham in the fridge.

-Will he do it?

Yes!

"That's a bit too much better."

I know you're doing me a massive favour

but could do scrape some of that butter off?

I'm trying to watch my weight.

-Slice of this?

-Yes, please.

-Nothing else?

-No, that's lovely.

-Square or triangle?

-What do you reckon?

-It's your call.

-Let's have a triangle, please. Thanks.

So far, so good but will the plumber be as helpful again?

"May you feed it to me?"

Give us a bite of that sandwich, mate. Sorry.

I'm starving. You tempted me and I can't even eat it.

Listen, I'll hold the plate.

Just slide it towards the end.

-Yeah, but I can't get it in my mouth.

-You can hold that.

Here, I'll hold the plate.

No, I'll hold the plate and you hold the sandwich.

Drop the sandwich.

Good remote controlling, girls.

Brilliant, and when can you start the work?

Whenever you want.

Mate... That ain't working, is it?!

Well, I said I can't hold it. No, it's been on the floor.

I'll throw that in the bin.

Rav has turned the plumber into his waiter!

But now Rav's got to ask for another favour.

And this time it's cringy.

Make him send an embarrassing text from your phone.

I'll send her a message, actually.

-Shall I give her a ring for you?

-Can you press the square?

"Can you go to ballet classes next week?" to your mum.

"Can you do the ballet lessons next week? And get home quick."

-Where is she then?

-She's at work until five.

Put ten kisses at the end.

You're on fire, girls.

Let's hope we don't set off the sprinklers!

And then you'd better put 10 kisses to keep her happy.

"I love you, boo-boo", at the end.

He'll never get him texting lovey-dovey messages...will he?

-How long have you been together?

-Six months.

Have ya? I'll only send her nine then!

Nine? Go on then! See if she notices.

Say "I love you, boo-boo". But don't tell anyone. That's a nickname.

Time is running out.

He's got the plumber obeying all his wishes. Nice work on the mic.

And send that and hopefully she'll come home. Boo-boo. That's it.

He's done it. Well done!

That's enough, we're coming in.

Brilliant, the plumber really has gone the extra mile.

As has this joke.

Good work, team. Let's reveal the gag before he starts on the dishes.

You're on a hidden camera show. Thanks for being a good sport!

Well done!

-How are you, buddy?

-Good!

-Rav, do you want to take these off?

-Yeah, I'd love to! Well done, Steve.

That was a nice sandwich, by the way.

-What were the controllers like?

-They were mean.

I was getting things in my ear saying about making a sandwich.

That sandwich looked amazing. I like loads of butter.

-Any chance you could knock us up a round for the entire crew?!

-Yeah!

The most exciting part of the challenge was getting him

to make the sandwich and then we told him there was too much butter on it

so the plumber had to scrape the butter off.

I know you're doing me a massive favour.

You couldn't scrape some of that better off? I'm watching my weight.

I think Rav did really well, especially when we told him

to text on the phone and put the embarrassing messages.

-I think Rav did well.

-Because he did everything we told him to do.

Yeah!

-Rock, paper, scissors!

-I'm a cowboy!

It's great these stars have agreed to be remote controlled

in these tricky situations.

To make it fair, JK and I've agreed to take a taste of our own medicine.

This is JK and Joel remote controlled.

Remote control!

This is the part of the show where we're told what to do

by remote control text message.

We've no idea what's coming our way

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

There's a text message.

-Brilliant!

-My feet really ache at the moment.

-I think I've got bunions!

-Eurgh!

Hang on, we're in the right place. The Natural Pedicure.

There's a picture of feet and fish.

-So?

-I don't like fish.

-No, it's pedicure.

-I told you something was fishy.

-Hang on, text message.

-I don't like fish!

-I've seen these before on TV.

These aren't your average fish.

These are trained to eat people's skin.

-They're not goldfish.

-Doesn't mean I like them!

Come on, it can't be that bad.

I don't know if I can do this.

I really don't like fish.

Just hovering.

Come on. 3, 2, 1. Go!

Put them in, put them in!

-I don't want to squash them.

-I don't like it!

-You do!

-Have you put more in mine?

-Yeah! Stop hogging that.

-Don't like it, don't like it.

-You do!

Go on! They really like you.

-Look!

-No, no, no! That's it.

I can't do it. I'm having a diva strop. I'm a born loser. That's it.

-So, I'm the coolest.

-You are the winner.

Brilliant stuff but when he gets back to his flat

I've put a load in his bath. He'll love it!

Feel how smooth my feet are now. Feel!

-Have you really got your foot by my face?

-Yes.

-It's smooth.

-I don't like your foot as much as I don't like fish.

-Are you ready for challenge three?

-Yes!

The third and final challenge. Rav is in the sitting room

and he's going to get interesting company. Headphones on, lights down.

Frankie, Ellie and Tamara are ready to remote control Rav

through his final challenge and it's another foot-related mission.

-Rav, it's JK.

-I've my earpiece in.

-Feeling OK?

-Yeah, nervous.

We agree you're a legend because you've done so much stuff,

Strictly Come Dancing, you're a top TV presenter, a former policeman.

We reckon your feet must be really sore.

They are sore, actually.

Great news because we're giving you a lovely pedicure.

Thank you.

However... Just as the relaxing celebrity foot pampering starts

you'll get an urgent phone call saying you're supposed to be

live on the radio, being interviewed from the helicopter rescue service.

Yeah.

It's Joel here, I'm going to be the local radio DJ.

Oh, OK.

You've to get the pedicurist help you make your front room

sounds like you're flying around in a chopper.

OK, the doorbell will go at any second.

Joel, to your position. Go, go! Quick.

Rav will have to dive feet-first into this challenge.

He has 10 minutes to complete his task.

As before, tricky tasks will pop up on the screen

to make our remote controllers' job even harder.

DOORBELL RINGS

Here comes the pedicurist.

She thinks she's here to care for Rav's feet.

But not if the remote controllers have their way.

Carol, you can knock off now. See you tomorrow.

What's your name?

-Julie.

-Hi, Julie. I'm Rav.

Basically, my feet are knackered. I was messing around with the kids.

I've got a tiny bit of paint in my toes.

So, if we can get those sorted.

-Is this all right for you?

-Yeah, sure.

-Whatever's easiest, really.

-Sit on the couch.

-On the couch?

-Yeah.

-Cool.

"Make a trumping noise."

Parp! Yeah, I've just been eating. That was a massive lunch.

Trumping! Whoar!

If I go on the end. I'll sit over here.

Let's feel the water. Lovely.

Right, she's in position. And ready for the pedicure.

Joel will play the fake radio reporter.

He'll hide upstairs in the bathroom, pretending he's in a radio studio.

-PHONE RINGS

-This softens up the cuticle.

OK. Sorry, excuse me.

Who's this? Hello?

-Hello, could I speak to Rav Wilding please?

-Yes, speaking.

We've an interview with you with Nigel at 5.20.

Yeah, tomorrow. No problem.

No, it's today, in five minutes.

-Today?!

-In a couple of minutes.

You'll be live on air.

-Bear with me a second, Mr Wilding.

-OK.

(Oh, my God. I'm supposed to do an interview tomorrow)

but it's today and I'm supposed to be in a helicopter.

I've got to live radio interview.

She's none the wiser. Game on!

"Make helicopter noises."

You'll have to make this place sound like a helicopter.

-'Shouldn't be long. I'll patch you through to the studio.'

-No problem.

-(How am I going to do that?)

-FILE SCRAPES

-(I'm so nervous.)

-Want some help?

That does sound a bit...doesn't it?

-"'Do it quickly."

-Can you do it quickly? Yeah, that's it.

She's mimicking helicopter noises with a nail file!

Good work on the mic.

A very good afternoon. It's 22 minutes past 5 o'clock.

On the phone now, it's an honour and privilege

to welcome one of my favourites, it's Rav Wilding.

Good afternoon to you, Rav.

Hi, how you doing?

Very good. You're flying above Berkshire.

Tell me how things are looking out there.

All right. You can probably hear the rotors is in the background.

-We've landed for refuelling.

-"Tell her to make some sounds."

Yeah, it's great, I've been filming with the guys today.

-They're doing a fantastic job.

-'What's it like in a helicopter?'

It's noisy, you can probably hear a bit of noise at the moment.

'I can hardly make out what you're saying.'

Turn the fan on.

Bear with me one minute, I'm just moving my head a moment.

'OK, explain what you can see from inside the cockpit.'

Erm, I can see...

'Do you call it a cockpit?'

Yeah, it IS a cockpit.

Well, I'm next to the pilot, we've actually got a female pilot today.

'You've got a female pilot?'

Yeah, she's actually just getting ready to lift off.

It sounds like Rav is having the time of his life!

Will the pedicurist join him in the chopper?

Get them to go on the radio and take over the interview.

Could I speak to the pilot? That would be amazing.

Another first on this show.

I'm so sorry,

could you just say "I'm just about to lift off" for Radio Berkshire?

Bobby...

Tell her to hold her nose while she's doing it.

Yes, good work!

'We have the headlines coming up in a second.

'Julie, can you hear me?'

Yes, I can hear you.

Good afternoon, Julie, this is Nigel.

'It is absolutely amazing to talk to you.

'What is going on right now?

'Are you taking off from the Berkshire airbase?'

Yes, we are.

'What are you going to be doing? Are you just flying?

'Tell me exactly what happens when you set off in a helicopter,

'because it's fascinating, I'd just really like to know.'

-We...

-Well, the propellers go and we just lift off the floor vertically.

-And there's quite a lot of buttons and levers...

-Dials.

-..and dials.

'And is it an H74 you're driving?'

Or flying, should I say!

Say it's confusing.

It's all very confusing for a normal person.

'You're sounding like you've never flown before!'

-How many years have you been flying?

-About five.

-About five years ago.

-'Do you fly people around

'like Westlife and JLS, people like that?'

Tell her to make some really loud noises.

Yes, we've dealt with many famous people, yes.

'All right, who is the most famous person you've had...'

-..in your helicopter?

-Bon Jovi.

-So you've actually flown Bon Jovi?

That is amazing, another first for us.

Elton John.

Elton John, Elton John.

And Elton John.

Elton John as well, you say?

'Now, Julie, Rav's obviously been on many TV shows,

'when was the last TV show you were on?'

Erm...

-I don't know.

-I don't know.

'Well, Julie, if you have a look round,

'you should be able to see some amazing silver boxes around.'

Time's up!

'You're live on a hidden camera show.'

LAUGHTER

Hello, Julie! How are you? I'll come behind.

I think we can probably turn the fan off now,

actually, can't we?

Julie, do you know what, this is quite relaxing.

Come and take a seat, Joel.

You can take your foot out.

-Oh. Thank you.

-No. He's really enjoying it, that's the thing!

Was there any point where you thought, slightly strange?

-Yes.

-Which bit?

Er, well, as soon as you got on the phone asking me

-to pretend it was a helicopter.

-LAUGHTER

I can understand that, yeah. I love this bit.

"Over and out!"

LAUGHTER

The funniest part of the challenge

was when she had to hold her nose whenever she was speaking.

The propellers go and we just lift off the floor vertically.

-I think Rav did well.

-I think Rav did really well.

Yeah, especially trying to, like, make her, like,

actually convince, because some people wouldn't do that.

They'd just want to get on with giving him a pedicure.

Yeah.

Not being a pilot the first female pilot.

THEY CHEER

So, come on then, how was your day, remote controllers?

ALL: Good.

-Let's start with you, Tamara.

-It was really fun.

-What was your best bit?

-When you started painting with your feet.

Yeah. That was hard!

I liked it when you got the woman to talk like this...

-Talk like this!

-She was my pilot in the helicopter.

And Frankie?

When you had to eat from the sandwich from his hands.

-And I couldn't move my hands, and he had to feed me.

-Yep.

Yeah, that was hard.

And, Rav, you have done everything. You've been a policeman,

Strictly Come Dancing, you're a top TV presenter.

Is this possibly the hardest thing you've done in your career so far?

This is up there as one of the toughest things I've ever had to do.

-High-five!

-Well done.

-You did it!

-Most importantly, did you enjoy it?

-I had a great time. Well done.

Remote Controllers, I have something for you to remember us.

Exclusive Remote Control Star baseball hats,

and also a cool hoodie each for you as well.

You get one each on this show!

ALL: Thank you.

As you've all done very well,

I think we should give ourselves a big round of applause. Yay!

That's all we've time for this week, till next time,

when we put another star together with three remote controllers

here on... ALL: Remote Control Star!
