0:00:02 > 0:00:07Millions dream of fame, success and life in the spotlight
0:00:07 > 0:00:10but few realise what it takes to make it to the very top.
0:00:13 > 0:00:18We're back inside one of the most famous stage schools in Britain.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21Can we take it from the top, please? And give it EVERYTHING.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28We'll be taking you behind the scenes
0:00:28 > 0:00:31as we follow all the highs and lows of the summer term...
0:00:31 > 0:00:33It's got to go off, big time!
0:00:33 > 0:00:36..and show you what life's really like
0:00:36 > 0:00:39for those heading for the big time.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40'Got to keep going.'
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Even when you're sitting down on a chair, it never stops.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47This is the School For Stars.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Coming up - Georgia struggles to take centre stage...
0:00:51 > 0:00:55That's not good enough for me. Sort it, otherwise I will have to.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58- ..Reece has fun donkeying around... - I thought he was fabulous.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02..and exam time means double trouble for Duke and Joe.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04It's going to be lethal in there.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10The pupils at the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts
0:01:10 > 0:01:12are in training for stardom.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Be it in dancing, singing or acting.
0:01:19 > 0:01:24Ten-year-old twins Duke and Joe, who train at the school on Saturdays,
0:01:24 > 0:01:26have big ambitions to conquer the music industry.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28# You're the top
0:01:29 > 0:01:31# You're the Coliseum... #
0:01:31 > 0:01:33The twins may look identical
0:01:33 > 0:01:36but their personalities are very different.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Duke loves being the centre of attention...
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- All right, mate?- ..but brother Joe feels the opposite.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Do you want me to perform it now?
0:01:43 > 0:01:47Standing up before the whole class in singing is really nerve-racking.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50'It's quite strange singing to someone
0:01:50 > 0:01:51'who's never heard you before.'
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Having a best friend is amazing
0:01:53 > 0:01:56but there is nothing quite like having a twin.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00Duke is a really good brother cos he sticks up for me
0:02:00 > 0:02:04but sometimes he can be a bit annoying!
0:02:04 > 0:02:09It's good to have a brother cos there's always someone to help you.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Joe knows he's going to need all the help he can get from his twin.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15They have a grade three singing exam coming up
0:02:15 > 0:02:17and Duke, the more confident of the two,
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- is going to have to lead the way. - Well done.
0:02:19 > 0:02:20Joe, come on.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Today it's the twins' mock -
0:02:23 > 0:02:25a practice run-through of the exam in costume.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26Let's do this.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30But the twins will need to perform separately and Joe is anxious.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- I'm really nervous. Aren't you? - I'm not nervous.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37I don't like the thought of me failing.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39You can't really fail a mock exam though,
0:02:39 > 0:02:41you can do badly but you can't fail.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Duke is clearly looking forward to performing
0:02:44 > 0:02:46but Joe seems far from relaxed.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49I think I'm going to have a kitten!
0:02:49 > 0:02:51I'm so nervous.
0:02:51 > 0:02:52Don't have a hairball, Joe!
0:02:52 > 0:02:57But, listen, it's going to be OK because...you practise at home
0:02:57 > 0:02:59and you're REALLY good. So, like...
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Just imagine I'm at home?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Yeah, just imagine you're at home and no-one's there.
0:03:04 > 0:03:09Well, that's quite hard, actually. But, yeah, just try, yeah?
0:03:09 > 0:03:13- Oh, it's going to be lethal in there!- No, it isn't.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Joe loves performing at home with Duke
0:03:15 > 0:03:18but he knows if they're going to have a career in music together
0:03:18 > 0:03:22he has to conquer his nerves and sing in front of strangers,
0:03:22 > 0:03:23just like his brother can.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27This is a big deal to me because I want to do everyone proud
0:03:27 > 0:03:31and I think it will give me more confidence.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32I want to get it over with, Duke.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Nothing to worry about, apart from you might fail.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37But I don't know what's going to happen.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41I've never seen my brother like this before, he's like, "Ahh!"
0:03:41 > 0:03:42'This is a mock exam,'
0:03:42 > 0:03:45I'm dreading how he's going to be like at the exam.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47He's going to be like, "AHH!"
0:03:47 > 0:03:48I'm nervous.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54- Joe.- Yep.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55Show time.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Duke gets called in first.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06OK, come on in. Put your props down on that table.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Duke's eager to get started but the day could be a disaster
0:04:09 > 0:04:13if Joe can't pull himself together before his turn arrives.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Students at this school have a lot to cope with
0:04:24 > 0:04:29but sometimes it's things outside of school that make life really tough.
0:04:31 > 0:04:3515-year-old Estelle has found recent events at home hard to cope with.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Her dad is very sick
0:04:37 > 0:04:41and coming to terms with it is the hardest thing she's ever had to do.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46I've always been really close with my dad and it was last year in May...
0:04:47 > 0:04:51'He came down with this brain damage'
0:04:51 > 0:04:57and now it's got to the stage where he can't even remember who I am.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01'It's hard, it is really hard.'
0:05:01 > 0:05:03I never, kind of, thought I'd see my dad in this state.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Especially at the age I am.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Since finding out,
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Estelle has understandably been finding it hard to focus
0:05:12 > 0:05:16but she seems determined not to let her grades slip.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19I'd do anything to even just, kind of, rewind the days I had with him.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22'It would make everything so different,
0:05:22 > 0:05:26'but I've just got to put my head down and make him proud.'
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Cos I know what he expected of me,
0:05:28 > 0:05:31so I have the standards all laid out.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34One, two and a three, four and five, six.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37In a few days Estelle has her modern dance exam
0:05:37 > 0:05:40and she's determined to put in a strong performance.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44One, two, three...
0:05:44 > 0:05:48So she's called in good friend Reece to help choreograph the routine.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51One, two, three, one, two, three and one.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53'I always want to be there for Estelle'
0:05:53 > 0:05:55and cos I know that she's gone through a hard time
0:05:55 > 0:05:58I really want to pay her back, with everything that she's done for me.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Estelle has chosen to perform the routine
0:06:05 > 0:06:07to a song very close to her heart.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10My dad actually helped me choose the song
0:06:10 > 0:06:12that I'm going to be performing in my modern exam.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16He introduced it to me just before he fell sick.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19# Don't want to waste the weekend... #
0:06:21 > 0:06:25So it's a good way to, kind of, let my emotions out during the dance
0:06:25 > 0:06:27instead of crying all the time.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31- You know you're relating yourself to your dad and stuff?- Yeah.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32Make a story with it.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36So the first bit, think about just trying to pick yourself up.
0:06:36 > 0:06:41Once you find your meaning for every move and why you're doing that move
0:06:41 > 0:06:43it's going to come so much easier, trust me.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46If you think of all the hard moves
0:06:46 > 0:06:50as someone trying to stop you from feeling sorry for yourself.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52So you're feeling sorry for yourself
0:06:52 > 0:06:55and someone's trying to break you out of it, do you know what I mean?
0:06:58 > 0:07:01You're doing really, really well. I'm really, really proud of you.
0:07:01 > 0:07:02I actually am.
0:07:02 > 0:07:08And, with Reece onside, Estelle couldn't be in better hands.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09Up on floor eight,
0:07:09 > 0:07:13ten-year-old Duke's mock singing exam is almost over.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15# Chim chiminy chim-chim
0:07:15 > 0:07:19# Cheree chim cheroo. #
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Good lad, that's really good.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- Just remember to smile in those numbers.- Yep.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26- Yes?- Yep.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29OK, right, shall we see your brother now? Yes.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Joe-Joe.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33But where's Joe?
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Joe?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Duke knows his brother better than anyone,
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- so he knows where to find him. - Joe, come on!
0:07:48 > 0:07:53Joe's terrified but, as always, he has Duke to help calm his nerves.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Oh, I'm nervous, I'm nervous, I'm nervous, I'm nervous...
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- No, you're not nervous...- Yes, I am.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Come on, now.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Duke's doing his best to reassure his brother
0:08:04 > 0:08:07but in there on his own, will Joe be able to shake off his nerves
0:08:07 > 0:08:09and show just what he can do?
0:08:09 > 0:08:11You going to stay out here?
0:08:11 > 0:08:13- Erm, yeah.- You stay out here. Sit down there.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17Right, here we go. Ready? Yes?
0:08:19 > 0:08:21# You're the top
0:08:21 > 0:08:23# You're a Waldorf salad... #
0:08:24 > 0:08:26OK, vocally, no problem.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30- What's so important about this mirror?- I have no idea.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32I'm not sure either cos that's what you're singing into.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- Where's the examiner going to be?- There.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39Joe must look towards the examiner if he's to do well.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40And one, two!
0:08:40 > 0:08:42# You're the top... #
0:08:42 > 0:08:44OK, you're doing it again.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46- Why are you looking at me?- Ah!
0:08:46 > 0:08:48- OK.- Here.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50And one, two.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52# You're the top
0:08:52 > 0:08:54# You're a Waldorf salad... #
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Much better, much better, yes?
0:08:57 > 0:08:58This is not important here,
0:08:58 > 0:09:01the lady that's going to be sat there tomorrow is.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05Finally, Joe gets it. So it's on to his next song.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Here we go.
0:09:07 > 0:09:08# Love
0:09:08 > 0:09:11# Love changes everything
0:09:11 > 0:09:14# Handsome faces... #
0:09:14 > 0:09:18But has he got the confidence to give it everything he's got?
0:09:18 > 0:09:27# Nothing in the world will ever be the same. #
0:09:27 > 0:09:31# Love will never, never let you be. #
0:09:31 > 0:09:33And you can go up there, so let's do it.
0:09:34 > 0:09:43# Love will never, never let you be the same. #
0:09:47 > 0:09:50That's good, really good.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54For someone your age to be singing that is pretty amazing.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Joe's starting to loosen up
0:09:57 > 0:10:01and after a quick change he really finds his stride in his final song.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03# Whe-e-e-re
0:10:03 > 0:10:10# Whe-e-e-re is love? #
0:10:12 > 0:10:15That was really good, that was really good, well done.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18You should be really pleased with yourself.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20This may not have been the real exam,
0:10:20 > 0:10:25but Joe overcame his nerves and he wants to celebrate with his brother.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- Were you nervous in there?- No, not really.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Told you so. Whoa!
0:10:30 > 0:10:34I feel really happy and really excited.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Yeah!
0:10:36 > 0:10:39It's going to give me really good confidence now.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Yes!
0:10:43 > 0:10:45It's a great result for Joe,
0:10:45 > 0:10:50but can he carry this confidence into the real exam tomorrow?
0:10:56 > 0:10:59The date for the end-of-year show is drawing closer.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03While Lower Juniors are rehearsing their numbers for Seussical...
0:11:03 > 0:11:06# Nobody here, and the feeling of fear... #
0:11:06 > 0:11:10..the Upper Juniors are working on their big routine,
0:11:10 > 0:11:14a performance of songs inspired by West End smash Shrek The Musical.
0:11:14 > 0:11:19Tyler is playing lead ogre Shrek and Reece has the part of Donkey.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23Today's the first time Karen will see Reece tackle the role.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27I feel like this is one of the best parts that I've ever been given
0:11:27 > 0:11:29because I feel like it's me all over
0:11:29 > 0:11:33and I'm really grateful that I get to play this part.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35It's definitely a comedy role,
0:11:35 > 0:11:40so I hope that people laugh because if not it'll be a bit awkward.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43# Hey, hey, hey, you got to let go
0:11:44 > 0:11:48# Nobody's like me, I'm considered a freak
0:11:48 > 0:11:52# May you just hear me out
0:11:52 > 0:11:56# I might surprise you, I'm your friend
0:11:56 > 0:12:00# To encourage, inspire you What do you say?
0:12:00 > 0:12:04# You're not responding... #
0:12:06 > 0:12:10Reece needn't have worried about playing a comic role, they love it.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12# Don't let me go
0:12:12 > 0:12:14# Don't let me go
0:12:14 > 0:12:17# Don't let me go
0:12:17 > 0:12:19# Don't let me go
0:12:19 > 0:12:26# Don't let me go-go-go. #
0:12:26 > 0:12:30CLAPPING AND CHEERING
0:12:36 > 0:12:40Oh, I wish you were on stage doing that. Oh, you are!
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Fantastic, well done.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Well done, Reece,
0:12:45 > 0:12:49we can solve those funny bits in the vocal, that was great.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52I have been practising that song for quite a while now.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55As I'm getting older my voice is breaking
0:12:55 > 0:12:57so it's quite hard to reach the high notes,
0:12:57 > 0:13:01but Simon's going to work it out with me and I should be able to get them.
0:13:01 > 0:13:06It was the first time Reece got up and performed in front of everyone
0:13:06 > 0:13:10and I wouldn't expect anything less from Reece, ever the professional.
0:13:10 > 0:13:15He just puts his heart and soul into everything that he does
0:13:15 > 0:13:17and I thought he was fabulous.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21Karen is obviously pleased with Reece's performance,
0:13:21 > 0:13:23but can Estelle get the same reaction
0:13:23 > 0:13:27as she goes into her mock dance exam?
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Good friend Reece has helped choreograph the routine
0:13:30 > 0:13:34and she'll be performing it to one of her dad's favourite songs.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35< So, what's the music?
0:13:35 > 0:13:38A Drop In The Ocean by Ron Pope.
0:13:38 > 0:13:43- So what made you choose that piece? - Dad's really ill at the moment.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54SOBBING
0:14:05 > 0:14:09She may be upset, but Estelle is determined to carry on.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13# Just a drop in the ocean
0:14:13 > 0:14:16# A change in the weather
0:14:16 > 0:14:22# I was praying that you and me might end up together
0:14:22 > 0:14:27# It's like fishing for rain as I stand in the desert
0:14:27 > 0:14:31# But I'm holding you closer than most
0:14:31 > 0:14:34# Cos you are my heaven...
0:14:38 > 0:14:41# I don't wanna waste the weekend
0:14:41 > 0:14:43# If you don't love me, pretend
0:14:43 > 0:14:49# A few more hours then it's time to go
0:14:49 > 0:14:52# As my train moves down the East Coast
0:14:52 > 0:14:55# I wonder how you'll keep warm
0:14:55 > 0:14:59# It's too late to cry, too broken so move on... #
0:14:59 > 0:15:04It's an emotional performance and Miss Marlow is very impressed.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06That choreography suits you very nicely,
0:15:06 > 0:15:08it looks very good indeed.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12Well done, Estelle, that's going to be good, excellent, bravo.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16It seems having a good cry has really helped,
0:15:16 > 0:15:19and all her friends are rooting for her.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22'I've never had anything like that happen to me.'
0:15:22 > 0:15:24I can only imagine how awful it must be.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28'I'm really proud of her for handling it all so well.'
0:15:28 > 0:15:32There's one person whose support Estelle couldn't have done without,
0:15:32 > 0:15:34and she can't wait to tell him how it's gone.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55It's not only exam time at the school, it's show time too.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59After Reece's earlier success in rehearsals,
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Karen's expectations are high.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05Step 2, 3, 4, passion!
0:16:05 > 0:16:09She's given head girl Georgia a shot at the role of Shrek's mum.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Guys, quiet, please, thank you.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Landing a lead role is a huge deal for Georgia.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17There's so many talented people here,
0:16:17 > 0:16:19everyone's so good.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23Listening to everyone sing all the time, you're just like,
0:16:23 > 0:16:27"Well, I'm not that good at all compared to them," or whatever.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30But she'll need to be good if she's to hold on to the role
0:16:30 > 0:16:34because Karen's also asked Georgia's friend Steph to learn the part
0:16:34 > 0:16:38and only one of them can perform on the big night.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40So let's run this section, please.
0:16:40 > 0:16:46With the whole class watching the pressure is really on.
0:16:48 > 0:16:55# Listen, son, you're growing up so quickly... #
0:16:55 > 0:16:59Georgia's singing alongside Lewis, who's playing Shrek's dad.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03OK, let her go, your mum and dad don't sit like that, do they?
0:17:03 > 0:17:06# For your trip... #
0:17:08 > 0:17:11OK, we have to start that again, I'm really sorry.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Let's do it again, it's the worst I've seen it.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18It's a terrible start for Georgia.
0:17:18 > 0:17:23# Listen, son, you're growing up so quickly
0:17:25 > 0:17:30# Growing up, bigger by the day... #
0:17:30 > 0:17:33You've lost it totally today. What's happened?
0:17:33 > 0:17:35I don't know.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Act like a mummy and not a little girl.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Karen may seem harsh,
0:17:40 > 0:17:43but taking criticism is all part of a performer's life.
0:17:43 > 0:17:48If Georgia doesn't improve, she could lose the part.
0:17:48 > 0:17:54# Listen, son, you're growing up so quickly... #
0:17:54 > 0:17:56There we go, big breath, and...
0:17:56 > 0:18:04# Growing up, bigger by the day
0:18:04 > 0:18:08# Although we want you here, the rules are very clear
0:18:08 > 0:18:11# Now you're seven
0:18:11 > 0:18:17# Now you're seven, so it's time to go away. #
0:18:17 > 0:18:19OK, we need to stop there again.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23OK, you need to think about what you're doing, OK?
0:18:23 > 0:18:25That's not good enough for me.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29Sort it otherwise I will have to. Steph, can you come in, please?
0:18:29 > 0:18:32I have a choice of two, you need to get your head round this.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36You're not a Lower Junior any more, Georgia.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39It's a devastating blow for Georgia
0:18:39 > 0:18:44and she can't even look as her friend Steph takes centre stage.
0:18:44 > 0:18:50# Listen, son, you're growing up so quickly
0:18:52 > 0:18:55To make matters worse,
0:18:55 > 0:18:59Steph delivers a near-faultless performance.
0:19:00 > 0:19:10# Goodbye, watch out for men with pitchforks... #
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Georgia knows it could be the end of her starring role.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17I just feel like I've let myself down and it just wasn't happening.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20And it's not any easier for good friend Steph.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22It was awkward for me because I wanted to be there
0:19:22 > 0:19:27for her and it's hard going against a friend and it was just awkward.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30All Georgia can do is wait for Karen to decide
0:19:30 > 0:19:32if she's got the part or not.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41Ten-year-old twins Duke and Joe are normally together 24/7,
0:19:41 > 0:19:44but today their mum's brought them into school for their exam
0:19:44 > 0:19:47in grade three singing, and they're going to have to perform alone
0:19:47 > 0:19:50and in front of an examiner they've never met before.
0:19:50 > 0:19:55While Duke isn't fazed by this, Joe's feeling nervous.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Today's going to be a really stressful day
0:19:58 > 0:20:01because I really want to do well in this exam.
0:20:01 > 0:20:02Good luck.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Duke's called in first.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Hi. Yeah, I'm Duke.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10- Leaving Joe to sweat it out. - I'm scared.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Waiting for his brother to come out feels like for ever.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27That was really good.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Duke's exam seems to have gone well.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33Don't be scared, yeah? She's really nice.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Now it's Joe's turn.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Duke clearly believes in him, but can Joe finally believe in himself?
0:20:41 > 0:20:44One thing's certain - his twin is backing him all the way.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48Hi, Joe.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Joe's not the only one with exam stress.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Estelle's modern dance exam is just minutes away,
0:21:00 > 0:21:03so she's running through her routine one more time
0:21:03 > 0:21:04to make sure it's perfect.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09The main person I'll be thinking about
0:21:09 > 0:21:12when I do this dance is definitely my dad.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13I'm hoping that I will be able
0:21:13 > 0:21:16to kind of convey these emotions within my dance.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20After weeks of practising, it's time for Estelle
0:21:20 > 0:21:23to show just what she can do.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Up on the eighth floor, Joe's exam is over.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38And he's looking pretty pleased.
0:21:38 > 0:21:39That was really good!
0:21:39 > 0:21:43'When I was in there I felt really nervous'
0:21:43 > 0:21:45and then when I sung, the nerves just disappeared.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49You did really well and you didn't look at the side,
0:21:49 > 0:21:51you looked in front of you. It was great!
0:21:51 > 0:21:55# I wanna stay up all night and jump around
0:21:55 > 0:21:58# Until we see the sun... #
0:21:58 > 0:22:02I'm really proud of my brother. He did well and he got over his nerves.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Well done. Both of you, amazing.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08I just feel really happy because my mum's proud of me,
0:22:08 > 0:22:10my brother's proud of me and I'm proud of my brother
0:22:10 > 0:22:13and I'm really happy with myself for doing well.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18I want to eat loads of candy now.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20The twins still have to wait for their results,
0:22:20 > 0:22:22but at least the exam is over.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25For Georgia, her toughest test yet is still to come.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Karen has decided to give her one more shot
0:22:30 > 0:22:31at the role of Shrek's mum.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34But can she prove she's the right girl for the part?
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Mothers, over here, please, thank you very much.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40If she messes up this time, good friend Steph will take the part
0:22:40 > 0:22:43and Georgia's dreams of performing at the end-of-year show
0:22:43 > 0:22:45will be over.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48OK, I need to know what's happening here.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52Nothing, I just sort of crumbled and went to pieces.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56Right, OK. I know you have confidence issues but I was hoping
0:22:56 > 0:23:00that was gone now from where it was in the Lower Juniors.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04The problem I have is I have someone that is working on it
0:23:04 > 0:23:07and getting stronger, and you seem to be getting weaker and weaker.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11What you need to do is stop being Georgia on stage
0:23:11 > 0:23:13and take on the persona of Mother.
0:23:13 > 0:23:18And once you find that character, you will be able to develop her.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22Karen knows if Georgia can get into character,
0:23:22 > 0:23:25it will help with both her nerves and her performance.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27So at the moment, she's the mother of Shrek.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- What is her name?- Audrey.
0:23:30 > 0:23:35Audrey. OK. Audrey's an ogre. She's got toothpaste up here,
0:23:35 > 0:23:38dinner spilt down here, she's got a bean stain down here, OK?
0:23:38 > 0:23:42Her hair is really messy, Georgia, OK?
0:23:42 > 0:23:45It's all over the place, it's not like yours at all.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49She would feel so messed-up and horrible, OK?
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Oh, hi, Audrey.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54There she is, I'm starting to see her now.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Georgia's starting to look like an ogre,
0:23:57 > 0:24:00but can she find the confidence to perform like one?
0:24:00 > 0:24:06# Listen, son, You're growing up so quickly
0:24:08 > 0:24:13# Growing up, bigger by the day... #
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Has she got a runny nose?
0:24:15 > 0:24:17# It's a big, bright beautiful world... #
0:24:17 > 0:24:18Good girl.
0:24:18 > 0:24:23Take a walk as Audrey. She's got an itchy bum.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24She's not ladylike at all.
0:24:24 > 0:24:30# Just around the bend there's a friend or two
0:24:30 > 0:24:33# But not for you. #
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Thank you. Lovely to meet you, Audrey.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39At last, Georgia's embracing her inner ogre.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43I know you can do it, otherwise I wouldn't have offered you the part.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46So now bring Audrey to the table.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Georgia's part is safe, for now at least.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53And good friend Steph is the first to congratulate her.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56You were really good. The second time, you pulled it all together
0:24:56 > 0:24:58- and you proved yourself.- Thank you.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Don't worry, don't be worried.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04It's a great result for Georgia, and with her exam over,
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Estelle is smiling too.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08The exam went really well.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10It's the best that I've ever done it.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13I feel really good actually.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17I feel more relaxed, but at the same time really happy.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21# Tonight
0:25:21 > 0:25:24# We are young
0:25:25 > 0:25:29# So I set the world on fire
0:25:29 > 0:25:32# We can burn brighter
0:25:32 > 0:25:36# Than the sun... #
0:25:36 > 0:25:40It's a big day for ten-year-old twins Joe and Duke.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43They'll find out how they did in their grade three exam for singing.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46OK, guys, come on in.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Duke seemed to take it all in his stride,
0:25:48 > 0:25:51but Joe was really nervous before the exam.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55It's time to find out how the examiner rated their performances.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00It's Duke the more confident twin's turn to find out first.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04You got 90 out of 100, which is a distinction!
0:26:04 > 0:26:05Oh, my!
0:26:05 > 0:26:08HE SCREAMS EXCITEDLY
0:26:10 > 0:26:12That's brilliant, Duke, excellent!
0:26:12 > 0:26:15It's an amazing result for Duke.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18But what about his more nervous brother Joe?
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Ready?
0:26:20 > 0:26:24You got 88 out of 100.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26You also got a distinction!
0:26:26 > 0:26:28HE SCREAMS
0:26:35 > 0:26:40I got a distinction! I'm so excited!
0:26:42 > 0:26:46I got 90 out of 100!
0:26:47 > 0:26:49He got two marks more than me,
0:26:49 > 0:26:52which he will be rubbing in my face once in a while.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55I can't wait to tell Mum. She's going to be like....
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- HE MIMICS CRYING - "You did so well!"
0:26:58 > 0:27:03It feels really good because the hard work paid off,
0:27:03 > 0:27:04so I'm really pleased.
0:27:10 > 0:27:11Yay! Woo-hoo!
0:27:16 > 0:27:20Sometimes life can push you to the very edge.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23But if you can keep your cool and face your fears,
0:27:23 > 0:27:26there's no limit to what you can achieve.
0:27:31 > 0:27:32Next time on School For Stars,
0:27:32 > 0:27:36things don't get any easier for Estelle...
0:27:36 > 0:27:37I just can't do it any more.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39..Jordan gets a taste of the big time...
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Mate, you were sick!
0:27:41 > 0:27:45..and Karen loses patience with Max and Luca.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48That is so lazy. I don't want to see you again
0:27:48 > 0:27:50until you can put some work into it.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52This is life at the School For Stars.
