CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

'Ladies and gentlemen,

'don't be shy, it's Friday night!

'Here are your hosts - Sam and Mark!'

CHEERS AND WHISTLES

Hey!

Come with me!

Oh, yes!

Aah!

Hey! Yeah!

-Welcome to the weekend!

-CHEERING

And welcome to Wind-Up.

It's going to be a belter of a show because this audience is on fire!

-CHEERING

-You know it.

It's not just the audience. We'll be turning up the heat for you at home.

Get this - on today's mighty Wind-Up

Loick Essien will be performing live here in this very studio.

Exciting.

And we'll be clambering head-first into this crazy world.

You're playing a dangerous game, Merlin.

-Those goose bumps, eh?

-CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

-Wow!

-Could there be a better way to start your weekend? Don't think so.

First, it's time we met the Wind-Up audience.

They need to keep on their toes

because we've been doing our homework.

Oh, yeah.

OK. What have we got?

You all look terrified. "Don't pick me!"

Actually, I want to speak to you, Daniel.

-All right, mate?

-Yeah.

A little birdie tells me it's your birthday.

-Yeah.

-Happy birthday to Daniel.

-CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

And is it true that you're a big fan of

-# Jason Derulo? #

-Yeah.

My favourite thing about a birthday is that it's full of surprises.

Check this out.

Wassup, Daniel? It's me, Jason Derulo.

I hear that you're a massive fan and I'm very honoured.

I'm a massive of you, as well.

I'll send you the biggest happy birthday and many more.

-CHEERING

-Look at that! Wasn't it cool?

And, and...!

As if that wasn't enough, Derulo has signed for you a CD and a photo.

-Happy birthday, buddy.

-Thank you.

Pretty good. Pretty good.

Mark, beat that.

All right. I will.

You know how I'm going to do that?

-Georgia, you all right?

-Yeah.

LAUGHTER

You've got an embarrassing mum who likes a sing-song. Is that true?

-Yeah.

-What's this about your mum singing in a school video?

She sang to Amarillo. She was at the front and got the words wrong.

You are joking? That is so embarrassing. Where is your mum?

-She's at work.

-It's a shame she couldn't be here.

-It's a shame she couldn't be here?

-AUDIENCE: Yeah.

The thing is, your mum was so sad she couldn't be here

that she sent you a message to say sorry.

Hi, Georgia. It's your mum here. I wanted to say sorry...

-for what's about to happen!

-LAUGHTER

Cue the music.

MUSIC: Intro to "Is This The Way To Amarillo?"

-OUT OF TUNE

-# Is this the way to Amarillo?

# Every night I've been hugging my pillow

# Dreaming dreams of Amarillo

# And sweet Marie who waits for me

# Sha-la-la la-la la-la-la

# Sha-la-la la-la la-la-la

Oh! Oh!

# Sha-la-la la-la la-la-la

# And sweet Marie who waits for me. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Wow! Nice work!

-Maria, great moves.

Georgia, how do you feel? Proud or horribly embarrassed?

I don't know!

-Wow, Maria. That was horrible.

-LAUGHTER

We haven't finished with you because we are going to give your mum

the chance to redeem herself.

Go and get yourself ready.

Georgia, you need to come with me. Time to play Mum On A Wheel!

Georgia, are you ready to see your mum as you've never seen her before?

Yeah.

-LAUGHING:

-You look terrified.

Everybody in the Wind-Up audience, give it up for Mum On A Wheel!

CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

Wow!

-Mum, you are looking good. How are you feeling?

-I'm feeling good!

Looks amazing! OK, let me explain what on Earth is going on here.

We have a mum, safely - we hope - strapped to a wheel

with three gold sections. Sam.

If Mum lands on "Mum", she will win herself a prize. Nice!

Yeah!

If Mum lands on "Audience", she wins a prize

for our entire studio audience!

AUDIENCE: Woooo!

Thought you'd like that.

-If Mum lands on "Star", Georgia wins a prize.

-That's good.

-AUDIENCE: Wooo!

-Pipe down.

Only if she can answer a question correctly.

Basically, gold is good, yeah?

Red, however, is bad!

If Mum lands on red,

she will come face-to-face with a terrifying creature.

The Foaminator!

That's right! This week's Foaminator is Loick Essien!

Nice!

Come on over, Loick.

Loick, you are looking mean!

I like it. Stand right beside me.

If Mum lands on red, you need to release a furious amount of foam

right in Mum's mush, understood?

-OK. I promise.

-Awesome.

Georgia, we need to get out of here.

-We're out of the line of fire. Are you ready, Georgia?

-Yeah.

Loads of prizes. No big deal.

-Come on, Sam!

-EVERYONE: Wind up that wheel!

MUM SCREAMS

-APPLAUSE

-It's landed on "Mum"!

You get a prize. Let's see what it is.

It's a proper Mum prize, a foot spa.

-Oooh!

-I like that.

-How you feeling, Mum?

-Good.

-Here comes the next spin.

AUDIENCE CHEERS

Oh, dear! You've landed on red.

You're about to get foamed by the Foaminator.

Standing position. After three. I'll stand behind here.

One, two, three!

CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

-Stop the foaming!

-LAUGHTER

CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

Mum, you still look beautiful.

# Is this the way to Amarillo? #

-LAUGHS

-One final spin. Here we go!

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

Ah, no. You landed on "foam" again.

Would you believe it?

That means that the Foaminator is going to spray you in your mush.

Right in the face. Off you go!

CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

OK, Mum, are you all right?

-I'm a bit wet.

-LAUGHTER

-You won yourself a foot spa.

-Woo!

-But you did get foamed twice.

You've been a cracking sport. Give it up for Maria and our Foaminator!

It's the point where we put a celeb under the spotlight

and get YOU some answers.

-Give it up for Loick Essien.

-CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

As you can see, Loick is stood on the Truth Or Wind-Up podium.

We are going to ask him to confirm or deny five stories we've obtained

-by spending an hour trawling through the internet.

-OK, Loick.

It's time to sort out the fact from the fiction. Are you ready?

-I'm ready, guys.

-He is ready. Lights, are you ready?

I'll take that as a yes. Cameras, are you ready?

-They're ready.

-Everyone's ready. Fact one.

Let's go.

Loick Essien taught Janine from EastEnders her bad girl ways?

Audience, truth or wind-up?

ALL SHOUT AT ONCE

Ooh, a lot of "wind-ups".

A LOT of "wind-ups".

A few people saying "truth".

-All right, guys.

-All right.

-Thank you.

-All right.

I THINK they're going for "wind-up".

OK.

It's a wind-up, guys.

Where do you reckon that came from?

I think it came from growing up.

I was very close friends with Janine.

We used to be next-door neighbours and also went to stage school.

You didn't teach her her bad girl ways!

-Definitely didn't. I'm a good boy, a gentleman.

-Get off!

Hey, she's naughty on EastEnders. I've seen her. OK, FACT TWO!

Loick Essien once appeared in CBBC hit sitcom, Kerching!

Audience, truth or wind-up?

ALL SHOUT AT ONCE

-That's sounding like a lot of "truths".

-A lot of "truths".

OK, audience. All right.

All right, we've heard you.

-We've heard you.

-< Truth!

-All right!

-Hey!

I think they're saying "truth". Loick, truth or wind-up?

-I'm surprised. It was the truth.

-Ooh! All right!

You know something? We know it's the truth cos we got proof!

So, where are your family, then?

-At the neighbours'?

-No, man. I told you.

-They leave me on my own, like yours do.

-Only while they're next door.

So you mean...

we're really home alone, then?

Er, yeah.

Bye. Got to go.

Nice. We saw you acting there. Have you done a lot of acting?

Um, yeah. I've been in, like...

I got the privilege to be in Holby City, Casualty, a few short movies.

-Then music took over.

-Do you think you'll do more acting?

Yeah. I want to make my presence first in music,

then go back to it, sooner or later.

All right! FACT THREE!

Getting a bit louder now.

Loick Essien has auditioned to be in three boy bands -

JLS, The Wanted and One Direction.

Truth or wind-up, audience?

ALL SHOUT AT ONCE

I think... All right! All right!

It's not a zoo!

I reckon it's probably 70-30 "wind-up".

What you saying to me?

Guys, it's actually a wind-up. CHEERING

Well done. Where has this terrible information come from?

-Well, I'm really good friends with JLS.

-Nice.

I'm close friends with Oritse.

And I also know The Wanted. I see the boys from time to time.

We're looked after by some of the same people behind the scenes.

Um...One Direction, I've seen them in the label a few times, in Sony.

-I've never actually spoken to them.

-That's where the rumour came from!

You know what I mean. That's a lovely story.

OK, FACT FOUR!

Loick Essien learnt all his moves in his mum's hairdresser's?

Audience, truth or wind-up?

ALL SHOUT AT ONCE

-I don't know, Sam. I just don't know.

-Mark.

Mark, that sounds like... All right. All right!

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That sounds like a lot of "truths". Loick, truth or wind-up?

Truth.

-CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

-Loick, tell us more. Tell us more.

My mum had a hair salon that she used to own in Fulham Broadway.

I always used to perform and I used to get on her clients' nerves.

I used to sing a song. Then I'd say, "I've got another one."

I could slowly see the smiles turn into frowns.

-That's probably where it came from.

-Right. Fact five.

Beyonce owes all her success to Loick Essien?

Hm, audience?

-ALL SHOUT AT ONCE

-Truth or wind-up?

I find this difficult to believe.

We're getting a lot of "wind-ups", Mark.

-They don't believe this fact!

-They don't believe it.

All right, guys. Thank you...

for your words.

-And noise.

-I think most of the audience are saying "wind-up".

What's the answer?

It's a wind-up, I'm sad to say. I would love to say it's the truth.

So where did this crazy claim come from?

Well, one of my managers is really close friends with her managers.

I guess how it came about is the guy who directed her Crazy In Love video

gave me my first shot to make my presence in music.

That's probably where it came from.

-You're saying that was a pretty tenuous link.

-Pretty tenuous.

LAUGHTER

Loick, loving your Truth Or Wind-Up skills there.

You rocked it. A big hand for Loick, everyone!

We are about to unleash a magical surprise

on someone in tonight's audience.

-To find that person, we need help.

-Please give a warm welcome

to the Finger Of Fun!

CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

FUNKY MUSIC PLAYS

Woo! Ah, yeah! Finger Of Fun, it's nice to see you.

Listen, we need you to find someone that loves having some fun.

Finger Of Fun, find us someone!

-Who could it be? Is it you? Is it me?

-Probably not.

Oh, it might be you.

It might be you, young lady.

Not you!

They all want to be on, don't they?

Ooh! Interesting!

Who could it be?

-All right!

-APPLAUSE

The finger has spoken. What is your name?

-Niamh.

-Well, Niamh, get yourself down here.

It's time for The Prize Surprise. Come on down!

-So, lovely Niamh, how are you getting on? Enjoying your day?

-Yeah.

-We've heard that you're a massive fan of Merlin.

-Yeah.

-It's worked out all right for you!

-That was handy!

To be honest, we know quite a lot about your love for Merlin.

You have written a Merlin-based story called Alice's Spell.

And we know that you and your friend Emily have Merlin sleepovers.

What happens there?

I downloaded the Merlin theme tune and we just chat about Merlin

and watch it over and over again.

-A cracking night!

-Can we come next time?

-Yeah.

We also know that you are an extra big fan of Merlin himself.

We've got a photo to prove it. Look at this!

There's you with a waxwork of Merlin. That's your sister?

-Yeah.

-And there's you kissing the waxwork. Kissy, kissy!

A waxwork! He's got lovely skin.

Niamh, let me ask you, seeing as you are such a massive fan,

would you like to see a Merlin clip that has been recorded just for you?

Yeah.

-Thought you might say yes.

-Watch this very carefully.

The clip features some things you might recognise -

-some of your favourite possessions.

-OK, Niamh, eyes peeled.

Check this out.

Almayu.

Well, Niamh, hope you won't be needing these for a while!

What is all this stuff? "Niamh".

Frio!

That's better.

CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

Wow!

Pretty incredible stuff there, Niamh.

Now, I hope you were paying attention.

You've now got 20 seconds to recall as many of your items

from that clip as possible.

-For every item that you remember, you will win a prize.

-OK.

-You've got 20 seconds. Your time starts now.

-My Year Six yearbook.

Paddles, my teddy bear.

My, er, money box.

My scarf. Um...

My necklace. A picture of me.

-You've got three left.

-AUDIENCE SHOUTS OUT

KLAXON

Niamh, you did really well.

I can confirm that you recalled six of your items.

You win six prizes from the Wind-Up prize stash!

You did really well. Nice one.

-The items that you didn't get was the diary...

-Oh, yeah.

-Your orange hoodie.

-Yeah.

-Your snow dome. She gave it a shake.

-Oh, yeah!

-What do you think of that clip?

-Awesome.

Listen, Niamh, and listen real good.

Now is your chance to get your hands on this!

To get your hands on that HD TV,

-with Freeview built in...

-Built in?

-Yeah!

-..just answer one Merlin question. Are you up for the challenge?

-Yeah.

Excellent. Cue the magical mystical tension music.

-SPOOKY MUSIC

-Here comes the question.

The clip you just saw featured Morgana, but...

what is the name of Morgana's evil sister?

-Morgause.

-Morgause.

-Ah!

You don't want to think? You went in straight there.

-You've got to have a think about it.

-Morgause?

-Yes.

-I hope it's right.

-I can confirm that that is...

-Oh, no.

-..right!

-CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

Which means you have won today's star prize, a HD TV

with Freeview - it's built into it!

-Shut up, Sam.

-It's amazing!

On top of that, you know that picture of you and Merlin?

We only went and got Merlin himself to sign it for you!

That's great, isn't it?

-Give her it. Let her have it!

-APPLAUSE

All right, Niamh?

-When you woke up, did you think your day would end like this?

-No.

-Brilliant.

-I'm sure you'll agree, she's been an incredible sport.

-Give it up for Niamh!

-CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

Three, two, one...

# Party like it's in the house tonight

# Everybody just have a good time. #

'Here's a taste of the hidden camera nonsense

'we like to get up to on Wind-Up.'

You told me to pull it hard!

All right! Woo!

Stop, stop!

Oh, my goodness!

-Barnsley!

-Barnsley.

-Yorkshire!

-Yorkshire.

I'm from Italy.

-That's enough.

-Okily-dokily.

I knew it! I knew it!

Brilliant!

I found that very, very disturbing.

Now, let's end this show with a bang.

This is Loick Essien with his brand new single, Me Without You.

# Everybody knows

# I'm tryin' to smile
