0:00:02 > 0:00:07Millions dream of fame, success, and a life in the spotlight.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10But few realise what it takes to make it to the top.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12You can do it. It's just fear. That's all it is.
0:00:12 > 0:00:13We are back...
0:00:13 > 0:00:16One, two, three, four, five...
0:00:16 > 0:00:20..inside one of the most famous stage schools in Britain...
0:00:20 > 0:00:24# And we danced all night to the best song ever... #
0:00:24 > 0:00:28..London's Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts,
0:00:30 > 0:00:32where for some pupils dreams of a career on screen
0:00:32 > 0:00:34and stage really can come true.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Pose, pose, pose, pose.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42This is what life is like for those seeking the big time.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44They should be mesmerised by you.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50This is the School For Stars.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Previously on School For Stars...
0:00:58 > 0:00:59Bandmates Max and Luca
0:00:59 > 0:01:02found the ideal venue...
0:01:02 > 0:01:03It's going to be great.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05..and auditioned their support act.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08But will they hold it together for their debut gig?
0:01:08 > 0:01:09There are so many people here.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Oh!
0:01:12 > 0:01:15The third years performed the showcase
0:01:15 > 0:01:16in a bid to bag representation.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20There is a lot of casting agents. The pressure is definitely on.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Now some of those casting agents are coming to school
0:01:23 > 0:01:25looking for more talent.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26Can Demi put her fears aside
0:01:26 > 0:01:28and wow them?
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Very nervous, yes, because I find dancing is my strength,
0:01:30 > 0:01:33but singing not as much.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36And Karen planned a world-record challenge for the school.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39I need a full split all the way down.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42But can they beat the odds and get into the record books?
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- We've got one last attempt. - One more attempt.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53This school may teach everything about performing arts,
0:01:53 > 0:01:56but a big part of success is having the motivation to do
0:01:56 > 0:01:57things off your own back.
0:01:57 > 0:02:02And today that is exactly what Max, Luca and Matthew are doing.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06Live music! 'We are trying to hand out some posters for our gig'
0:02:06 > 0:02:09and trying to round up some people to take the leaflets
0:02:09 > 0:02:13and maybe one or two of them will show up, which would be really great.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Their big gig is tonight and they've been flyering
0:02:16 > 0:02:17just outside the school.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Are you all right, sir?
0:02:19 > 0:02:21But so far it's not been going too well.
0:02:21 > 0:02:26Hello, sir. Hello, sir. Hello, ma'am. Live music!
0:02:26 > 0:02:28- Do this, do this.- Shut up.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- Let me try my own method.- Our methods have been slightly different.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35- Put on a little voice. Hello, there! - Hello!
0:02:35 > 0:02:39My method is stand and smile. Just sat there and hand it out.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41If anyone wants it, they grab it.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- Live music. - Hello, do you want...?
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Oh, no! All right, mate!
0:02:46 > 0:02:49I think you might be barking up the wrong tree there, Max.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53DANCE MUSIC PLAYS
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Students at this school are taught to be "triple threats",
0:02:59 > 0:03:02which means they have to be equally good at dancing, singing...
0:03:02 > 0:03:05THEY SING
0:03:05 > 0:03:07..and acting.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08I love him so much.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12And for the third years, this is about to be put to the test again.
0:03:12 > 0:03:18# I walk this empty street on the boulevard of broken dreams. #
0:03:21 > 0:03:24A couple of weeks ago, they showcased their talent in front
0:03:24 > 0:03:26of industry agents.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Now one of the casting agencies has come back looking for pupils
0:03:29 > 0:03:31to join them.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33I don't know how many other opportunities we're going to
0:03:33 > 0:03:36get to audition for agencies while at college.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37'I've got to take it with both hands.'
0:03:37 > 0:03:41It's a rare second chance to get a head start in the industry.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44The pressure's on, but it's a good pressure.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50The agents only want the best and want to see everything they can do.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54We are looking for talent to add to our books. Don't stress out.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56If you make a mistake, just smile, cover it up,
0:03:56 > 0:03:59show me your performance. Good. Have fun.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04First up is dancing.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10They have a matter of minutes to pick up a complicated routine.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Then it's time to shine.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Josephine and Luke.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25If they want to get picked, they have to impress.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34It is really difficult to understand what an agent is thinking
0:04:34 > 0:04:37'because they have to keep a kind of straight face to make it fair.,
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Give me more of your face. I want to see more from you.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Now give me something different. Show me different sides of you.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51It's tough, but one person is making her mark.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55DANCE MUSIC PLAYS
0:04:57 > 0:04:58Look how precise they are.
0:04:58 > 0:05:0219-year-old Demi is wowing the agents.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06I think that's my picks of the week.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Look at those turns. Lovely.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Yes.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26'The dancing went really well. I really enjoyed it.'
0:05:26 > 0:05:30The choreography was lovely. That made you feel really relaxed.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Demi may have impressed with her dancing
0:05:32 > 0:05:35but the next stage of the audition is threat two - singing.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36And she's worried.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38I'm very nervous, yes.
0:05:38 > 0:05:43I find dancing is much my strength, but singing not as much.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45If she wants to be picked by the agents, Demi has to
0:05:45 > 0:05:47sing as well as she can dance.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Will she be able to do it?
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Also under pressure to showcase their vocal talents
0:05:57 > 0:06:01are Max and Luca. Yes, tonight the world gets to meet...
0:06:06 > 0:06:09It's a brand-new band name for the debut gig. With Matthew
0:06:09 > 0:06:15on guitar and Jay on drums, they have just an hour before showtime.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- Whoa.- Hang on, we are playing three different songs.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25Whilst the boys soundcheck, their support act arrives.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27There's like drums and there's microphones
0:06:27 > 0:06:29and there's like everything.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Although hand-picked by Max and Luca,
0:06:32 > 0:06:34the girls have never sung to an audience outside school...
0:06:34 > 0:06:36I've learnt how to play the drums.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38..ever.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40No, we're usually just on our own.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42It will be different performing in front of everyone.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46"Cos we gon' rock this club." Then... Oh! Oh!
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- The microphones were turned on. - Hello.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51THEY LAUGH
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Whilst the girls get to grips with the sound system,
0:06:54 > 0:06:56backstage the boys are perfecting
0:06:56 > 0:06:58that all-important rock 'n' roll look.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00- Shall I take the tie off? - Whatever you want.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- No-one's going to stop and look. - Tie off, innit? Yeah.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- Look at him. - We need to look the part.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09I think this is a bit '70s, you know what I mean?
0:07:09 > 0:07:14The look may help but true singing success is all about sounding good.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22At the school, the casting agents are now putting the students
0:07:22 > 0:07:23through their vocal paces.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28# My bonds and shares may fall downstairs... #
0:07:28 > 0:07:34# Don't you want to be there running the show until it's time to go...? #
0:07:34 > 0:07:41# And I suddenly turn and see her fabulous face... #
0:07:41 > 0:07:44And with solo auditions, there is a golden rule.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Always have an alternative.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Do you have something more musical theatre?
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Pretend you're going for Singing In The Rain. What would you sing?
0:07:52 > 0:07:56Do you have something pop, rock, ballad?
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Do you have something poppy?
0:07:59 > 0:08:03The casting agents have everyone's CV in front of them.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06And on his, Reece has highlighted his passion for acting.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- Do you have a little monologue? - It would take time to prepare one.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14- It's OK.- I did a little bit in my showcase that I could do for you.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16I just want to hear like a 20 second... Yes.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- That's fine.- OK.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21If you want to know, I've been in love with Suzy
0:08:21 > 0:08:22since we were in primary school,
0:08:22 > 0:08:25ever since I saw her as the Virgin Mary at the school nativity play.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29Amazing. Sorry. I'm going to stop you. Thank you so much. That's great.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Reece has stayed calm and managed to impress them.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36But the agents are running a really tough audition today.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37That was fun(!)
0:08:37 > 0:08:42And now it's Demi's turn to face the panel.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43A little bit nervous,
0:08:43 > 0:08:47but I'll breathe and I should get through OK.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50If she wants representation, she has to sing her heart out.
0:08:50 > 0:08:55# Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
0:08:55 > 0:09:01# There's something wrong here there can be no denying... #
0:09:01 > 0:09:03It's not great. They want to use something else.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Could I hear you sing a little bit of Wherever He Ain't?
0:09:06 > 0:09:08- Is that OK? - Yeah.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10# I walk behind him like a meek little lamb
0:09:10 > 0:09:14# And had my fill of his not giving a damn
0:09:14 > 0:09:17# I'll go to Sydney or Ceylon or Siam
0:09:17 > 0:09:19# Wherever he ain't
0:09:19 > 0:09:21# Then I'm going North
0:09:21 > 0:09:23# He's going back I'm going forth
0:09:23 > 0:09:28# Wherever he ain't. #
0:09:30 > 0:09:33It's a good effort, but is it strong enough to get chosen?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36You were one of the best dancers that we saw.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39One of our favourites. We all agreed on that.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41We would definitely love to represent you. OK?
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- Yeah. That's great.- Thank you so much.- Thank you very much.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Take care. Thank you. Take care.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47She's done it.
0:09:47 > 0:09:53It went much better than I thought. I feel a bit more relaxed now.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54I can smile.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59But for Reece, although he had a good audition,
0:09:59 > 0:10:01they've not given him an answer yet.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04I'm so nervous now. I hope it happens. It was a good audition,
0:10:04 > 0:10:06so let's just hope.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Back at the big gig,
0:10:14 > 0:10:17pretty much everyone from school has turned up to watch.
0:10:17 > 0:10:18I'm looking forward to it.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20I think the concert will be really cool.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22I've quite high expectations
0:10:22 > 0:10:24because they've been practising for quite a while.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28- I expect it to be different to what we've seen before.- But really good.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32- Are they singing as well?- Yeah, singing and they've got the guitar.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34- It should be good.- Pretty awesome.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35The girls must be pretty nervous
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- because it's their first gig. - They can't see us, can they?
0:10:38 > 0:10:40But I think they're going to be amazing.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44I'm really nervous to be first on. It has to be good.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47It's really nerve-racking that we're first. It's really scary.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49There's so many people here.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53It's so real now because when you're at school, rehearsing,
0:10:53 > 0:10:57it doesn't feel real at all, it just feels like we're just doing it.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58HE SIGHS
0:10:58 > 0:11:01We're going to go on stage in a few minutes and sing.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04I think it's going to be a great night if we get it right.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08The venue is filling up, and though backstage is for artists only,
0:11:08 > 0:11:12one Max fan has managed to dodge security.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17- His mum.- That's so embarrassing. - Listen...- I understand.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Can you go away, please?
0:11:19 > 0:11:21- There's some wet wipes down there. - Thanks!
0:11:21 > 0:11:25- And I got them so you could all just freshen up!- Yeah, better do that.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28- < Thank you, Lucy. Love you! Bye! - Bye!
0:11:31 > 0:11:34They're on in a matter of minutes.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Just in time for a bit of a rock'n'roll warm up.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41- ALL SING:- Eee-ah-ah-ah-aa-aa!
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Guys, let's go, your audience is waiting for you.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Good luck, girls. Woo!
0:11:56 > 0:12:01It's a full house. And now it's showtime.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04# It's not about the money, money, money
0:12:04 > 0:12:06# We don't need your money, money, money
0:12:06 > 0:12:08# We just want to make the world dance
0:12:08 > 0:12:10# Forget about the price tag
0:12:10 > 0:12:13# Going back to the pages where it used to matter
0:12:13 > 0:12:15# Handing my love to you on a platter
0:12:15 > 0:12:19# Either way, no, I don't care
0:12:19 > 0:12:22# I throw my hands up in the air sometimes
0:12:22 > 0:12:28# Saying ayo, baby let's go. #
0:12:28 > 0:12:29CHEERING
0:12:31 > 0:12:34The girls are a hit.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38- And breathe.- I know. I was so nervous.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42With the support act done, it's now Max and Luca's turn.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Can they rock the place more?
0:12:51 > 0:12:55# I was so high I did not recognise
0:12:55 > 0:12:57# The fire burning in her eyes
0:12:57 > 0:13:00# The chaos that controlled my mind
0:13:00 > 0:13:05# And it feels like I am just too close to love you
0:13:17 > 0:13:23# Cos it all must feel like nothing changed at all. #
0:13:23 > 0:13:24Thank you.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26CHEERING
0:13:26 > 0:13:27Thank you very much.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31They've brought the house down.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37It was amazing. It was great.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40I think they should be really proud of themselves.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44- I think they all did really well. - Thank you.- Well done, Maxy!- Shush.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Everyone was shouting "I love you, Max,"
0:13:51 > 0:13:53because he's got a great voice.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56And he just brings all the group together, really.
0:14:00 > 0:14:05I reckon, if we gel more as a band, and kind of like work together
0:14:05 > 0:14:09and progress, I think we could be doing world tours one day, yeah.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24A new day at school and, as usual, everyone is working hard.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27# It's a hard knock life for us
0:14:27 > 0:14:30# It's a hard knock life for us... #
0:14:33 > 0:14:37Although today it's not just the students being stretched
0:14:37 > 0:14:40to the limits. Karen is also feeling the pressure.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Make sure you're limbered up.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Keep warming up, everyone, please, no injuries!
0:14:48 > 0:14:52To up the school's profile and raise some cash for the trust,
0:14:52 > 0:14:56she's organised a mass split jump, which is a line of people
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- doing the splits one after the other.- What leg should I do?
0:14:59 > 0:15:02It doesn't matter. When we get there, we'll see which one I need.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06What's more, she's trying to break the world record for how many
0:15:06 > 0:15:07can be done in 30 seconds.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13We actually have a chance to break the world record.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15We've been practising our splits.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17- Yeah. I've been practising.- Yeah.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20I'm quite scared - we have to hold the splits for quite a while
0:15:20 > 0:15:23but excited at the same time because it'll be a really good achievement.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27At the beginning of this term, Sadie found the splits really hard to do.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31So she's over the moon to be involved in this record attempt.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33I've been practising so hard on my splits.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35I'm completely flat on the floor.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Last week I was like that much and this week I'm no much.
0:15:38 > 0:15:43I want to be last in the line, so I need to hold my splits forever.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Because I'm sort of new to it.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47There really is a buzz about the challenge
0:15:47 > 0:15:51and his foot may be in plaster, but Luca doesn't want to miss out.
0:15:51 > 0:15:56I'm going to try and do the splits with a broken foot. Yeah.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58I should be all right.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02Karen needs more than 62 pupils to attempt the splits to be
0:16:02 > 0:16:04in with a chance of breaking the world record.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06But there's a problem.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09How many do you think we've got? Right now?
0:16:09 > 0:16:10We haven't got enough at the moment.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14She needs more people and she needs to find them fast.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23Guys! I need you. Everyone that can do the splits, come on!
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Girls, you can do the splits. Go, go, go, come on. Don't let me fail this.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Come on.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Guys, I know you've had a hard morning
0:16:30 > 0:16:32but you're going to have a harder day. Come on.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36Guys, listen, all those that can do the splits, I need you now.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39You should have been in studio 52 at 11:45.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42If she doesn't find enough pupils to take part,
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Karen will have no hope of breaking the world record.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46Ah!
0:16:59 > 0:17:01As well as trying to break records,
0:17:01 > 0:17:04pupils here are preparing for careers in showbiz
0:17:04 > 0:17:08and many of them fit in paid work around school and exams.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11# Someday I'll wish upon a star
0:17:11 > 0:17:17# And a wake up where the clouds are far behind me... #
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Good at singing, dancing and acting,
0:17:20 > 0:17:23year nine's Chelsie is the true definition of a triple threat.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Being a triple threat,
0:17:25 > 0:17:27you've got that advantage of being able to do all three.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31It gives you that extra thing when you're out in an audition.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35And that's why she's landed a part in a big West End musical.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38I've been in Billy Elliot now for a year come September.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41It's absolutely amazing. Such a buzz.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44But balancing school life with professional work is never easy.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47When I come home from school some days it's quite a bit of a rush.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51I've to get on the tube and get here as quick as I can.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54And then when I get here, I've to sort myself out quickly.
0:17:54 > 0:17:55Then we go into the dressing room
0:17:55 > 0:17:58and get dressed up, ready for the show, so it can be quite
0:17:58 > 0:18:02difficult sometimes to get your head in the right place.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07I enjoy being on set. I think it's absolutely amazing.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10You can just get that buzz of the show.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12All the lights and people in the audience clapping
0:18:12 > 0:18:15and everyone else on the stage performing. Costumes and everything.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17It all just comes together.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22When I stop doing my arms - she goes, "Susan Parks," -
0:18:22 > 0:18:26arms, so I've to put my arms back up.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Being the part of Susan Parks is really great.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32She's the one who has outgrown the class but still loves going
0:18:32 > 0:18:35and does everything with overexcitement and loads of energy.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Getting into the character is quite easy
0:18:38 > 0:18:41because I can be that myself sometimes, overexcited.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Being in this industry does take up a lot of time.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48You do eat, sleep and breathe it.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53It's one of those things that people dream about so, for me,
0:18:53 > 0:18:57it's a dream to be here. I'm really grateful for everything.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11For Karen and her crew of splitters,
0:19:11 > 0:19:14their dream right now is to become world record breakers.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21The split jump is taking place in the shadow
0:19:21 > 0:19:24of St Paul's Cathedral, and with two world-record official
0:19:24 > 0:19:27adjudicators looking on, Karen briefs her troops.
0:19:27 > 0:19:34The current record is 62 people in 30 seconds. We have to beat that.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40They must leave the ground, form a split
0:19:40 > 0:19:42so the legs go 180 degrees apart, they must land flat
0:19:42 > 0:19:46on the ground and it must happen consecutively, one after the other.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Guys, we're having a quick practice!
0:19:49 > 0:19:54Five, four, three, two, one, go.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58So, a warm-up first, and of course everyone is paying attention.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01I'm just going to jump and see what happens...
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Everyone is really excited. We've started!
0:20:12 > 0:20:17- It's slightly chaotic.- Yes. - And it's a bit of a slump.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23Their splits are far too messy and they're not doing them right.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27The adjudicator is saying that at the moment everyone is doing a slide
0:20:27 > 0:20:31and it has to look like you're jumping into it instead of a slide.
0:20:31 > 0:20:37- They just have to take deep breaths and keep calm.- OK, guys, this is it.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38We're going to do it.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44Time for the real attempt. Can they get into the record books?
0:20:44 > 0:20:46I don't want to get this wrong.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Three, two, one, go!
0:21:02 > 0:21:03Stop!
0:21:07 > 0:21:11- A lot of them did the splits. - It's a long way, isn't it?
0:21:11 > 0:21:13But for it to be a world record,
0:21:13 > 0:21:17it's not just how many that matters, but also how they do it.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20That was a good attempt.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23But I'm pretty sure people were going simultaneously, there was
0:21:23 > 0:21:26- at least two points or three points.- Oh, my...!
0:21:26 > 0:21:27It wasn't clean enough, we were all jumping
0:21:27 > 0:21:30some people were jumping at the same time.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33We beat the time, amazingly. But it wasn't clean enough.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36They have just two more attempts to do it.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40- Everyone is feeling the pressure, especially Sadie.- Don't worry.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42- You can do it. - My foot is really hurting.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45It's all bleeding, so I don't know.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48And now Karen has asked Sadie to move up the line.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50I don't know where I'm going.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52I've been moved to sort of the middle
0:21:52 > 0:21:56because I'm fast at splitting down, so...don't know.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Not only will she have to jump on her bad foot,
0:21:58 > 0:22:01she'll have to hold her split for even longer.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Three, two, one. Go!
0:22:15 > 0:22:19That was neater. That was definitely neater, no? The beginning?
0:22:19 > 0:22:20- No.- The middle section was fine.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23I'm afraid the same thing is happening again,
0:22:23 > 0:22:25people are going at the same time.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28With just one attempt left, things are not looking good.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32You have to jump. You must jump, guys.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35- Probably not as good as the first one.- That was the worst one.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42- We've got one last attempt, guys. - One more attempt.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52At school, Reece has had a call from the casting agents
0:22:52 > 0:22:55- that recently visited. - Yeah, it's Reece.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56Ever since his audition,
0:22:56 > 0:23:00he's been anxious to see if they want to represent him.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01Yeah.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04They've called to tell me they want me,
0:23:04 > 0:23:07so literally it's such a relief. I can't explain.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09That's incredible news. Thank you so much. Amazing.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13I just don't have the words. It's incredible. I just want to cry.
0:23:13 > 0:23:14It's amazing.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17- 'Hello.'- Hello, Mum.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19'Hey, mate. You all right?'
0:23:19 > 0:23:24- Yeah. Global Management just called me.- All right, yeah?
0:23:24 > 0:23:29- They're going to sign me. They're going to sign me.- Oh, wow! Well done.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- I'm so pleased.- Thank you.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34This is everything to me. I've trained for three years now.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35This is what it's about.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38I've got an agent so that's the massive stepping stone
0:23:38 > 0:23:43I need now to get my career in gear. Hopefully big things ahead.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Because of Reece's hard work, his future is looking bright.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50But at this split jump record, things aren't so upbeat.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54This is our last attempt. I'm not feeling too good right now.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56It's not going as well as we planned it to go.
0:23:56 > 0:24:01- I actually think we won't break it. - For Luca, it's not good at all.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04- Cracked the cast at the bottom. - Where?
0:24:04 > 0:24:06It's meant to be that hard.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09How did it crack? Did you whack it on the floor?
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Yeah, because I jumped straight into it. It just went...
0:24:12 > 0:24:15She's one man down and everyone is tired.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18The world record is slipping away.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20We only need one to break the record.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22We can do this.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Karen knows she has to give her troops a boost.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28Jump, split, jump, split, jump, split, jump, split.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32Jump, split, jump, split, jump, split, jump, split.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Three, two, one, go!
0:24:39 > 0:24:44Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump...
0:24:44 > 0:24:51Go, go, go, go, go, go, go,
0:24:51 > 0:24:56go, go, go, go, go, go, go,
0:24:56 > 0:25:00go, go, go, go, go, go, go,
0:25:00 > 0:25:07go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10It's quick and looks clean, but there's only one man who can
0:25:10 > 0:25:14tell them if they've made it into the record books and he wants
0:25:14 > 0:25:18to look back on the video footage, as there could be a problem.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19Can I see 19 seconds, please?
0:25:23 > 0:25:24These two, there.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28I don't think we've done it, if I'm honest.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32Looking at the video footage back, they're being extremely strict.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34I don't think they'll be that cruel to make us
0:25:34 > 0:25:37- stand in line and tell us we haven't.- They will, those two.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41This is it. The moment of truth.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45You had enough people, you had 74 people, which is great.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49You had to beat 62. I guess these guys must be exhausted as well.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52But I can say it's been totally worth it.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Because we've accepted it, yeah.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56THEY ALL CHEER
0:25:56 > 0:26:00They've done it. Karen and her crew are record breakers.
0:26:02 > 0:26:03We just broke the record!
0:26:10 > 0:26:12So happy. it's so amazing.
0:26:16 > 0:26:17We did it!
0:26:24 > 0:26:26You need to get in the line again
0:26:26 > 0:26:28because they're going to put our photo in.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34It's really exciting that we're in the world record book,
0:26:34 > 0:26:36it's just overwhelming. It really is.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40It was a full school achievement.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44It was all the students, the juniors, it was a combination of staff
0:26:44 > 0:26:47every day so I'm really proud to be part of it. Amazing.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00It takes dedication to reach your goals.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04But the pleasure you get from success makes the hard work worth it.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08Nothing you're given in life feels half as good as something
0:27:08 > 0:27:09you've earned for yourself.
0:27:13 > 0:27:18Next time on School For Stars, has Nicky had her last chance
0:27:18 > 0:27:21with Karen when she misses yet another rehearsal?
0:27:21 > 0:27:26It's unacceptable. So right now, you're at risk of losing your part.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Joel is not happy being the king of bling.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Seriously? It's got a heart.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Elvis would seriously wear one of these.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39And it's an emotional day for some year 11s, as their time at school
0:27:39 > 0:27:40comes to an end.
