0:00:02 > 0:00:05St Tropez. The Bahamas.
0:00:05 > 0:00:08Richard Hammond's Waffle and Cheese Emporium in West Woodhay.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11These are all places celebrities like to visit,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15as opposed to Buenos Aires, Argentina, where famous people
0:00:15 > 0:00:18go to get covered in mud and smacked in the face.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22Once again, the Total Wipeout course awaits ten intrepid celebrity lemmings.
0:00:22 > 0:00:26Nine will return to a normal celebrity life - whatever that is -
0:00:26 > 0:00:29but one will be crowned Total Wipeout champion,
0:00:29 > 0:00:33and walk away with £10,000 for the charity of their choice.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Let the celebrity games begin.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Welcome to the Total Wipeout Celebrity Special,
0:00:42 > 0:00:46which means we have a little bit of extra money to spend this week.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49We spent some on these curtains, some on the podium...
0:00:49 > 0:00:50You know what?
0:00:50 > 0:00:54We should have spent some of that money on the celebrities instead.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Too late now. So, will the Total Wipeout course be made easier
0:00:57 > 0:00:59for our honoured celebrity guests?
0:00:59 > 0:01:01I'll give you a clue - the answer's no.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Here's what the fairly famous faces face.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07The Qualifier - from the big time to the Big Balls.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Crash Mountain - from high-life to pond life.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15Dizzy Dummies - from taking a spin in a limo to...just taking a spin.
0:01:15 > 0:01:20And finally, the Wipeout Zone - from after-show party to after-show ambulance ride.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23The rules today are a little different.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27All ten celebrities will compete on the Qualifier and Crash Mountain.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31That's twice the fun for us, twice the pain and humiliation for them.
0:01:31 > 0:01:36Let's meet the ten lucky celebrities who'll be risking everything in the name of charity.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40It's Really Wild presenter Michaela Strachan.
0:01:40 > 0:01:45Now, who's this? It's former EastEnders actor Joe Absolom.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48And wow! Weather presenting legend Sian Lloyd.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Anthony Costa from boy band Blue.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Comedienne Ninia Benjamin, nice.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58TV presenter Jeff Brazier.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03The first female winner of Big Brother, Kate...Llama.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05No, Lawler.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08It's TV chef, Tony Tobin.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Excellent, double helpings today -
0:02:10 > 0:02:12it's another celebrity chef, Nancy Lam.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17And finally, Olympic 400 metre medallist Iwan Thomas.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23What a fine looking collection of individuals they are.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26My favourite one was the... third one.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28I love him...or her.
0:02:28 > 0:02:33But they are a fussy bunch. Anthony Costa demanded a bed in his room.
0:02:33 > 0:02:41Sian Lloyd wanted a roof over her head, and Joe Absolom wanted running water. Bunch of divas.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42Biscuits!
0:02:44 > 0:02:49Time to hand over to the biggest celebrity in the Total Wipeout stable - Amanda Byram.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56I'm joined now at the top of the Qualifier
0:02:56 > 0:03:00by Big Brother's first ever female winner, Kate Lawler.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02FAINT CHEERING
0:03:02 > 0:03:06What I really want to know, Kate - are you a winner today?
0:03:06 > 0:03:09I'm really not sure. Iwan Thomas is the most competitive person
0:03:09 > 0:03:12I've ever met in my entire life, and I'd kind of like to beat him
0:03:12 > 0:03:14just so I can see him cry on the aeroplane home.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- Get out there and do us girls proud. - I will do.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20This is for all the blondes. Wish me luck.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- OK, good luck.- Good luck.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26So, tabloid favourite and former Big Brother winner Kate Lawler
0:03:26 > 0:03:28kick-starts today's qualifier.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31She's about to go where no celebrity has gone before.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35It's Celebrity Traplonk.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39A diving board, a trapeze and some mud.
0:03:39 > 0:03:44Followed by a diving board, a trapeze...and some more mud.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Now, Kate has to do this as quickly as she can.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51The fastest time on the qualifier will score ten points,
0:03:51 > 0:03:55the slowest, a measly one. Here we go, she jumps,
0:03:55 > 0:03:57- grabs, and she's across.- Good girl.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00And... Oh.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02What's Amanda doing? Is it a book?
0:04:02 > 0:04:06A film? I don't know. Oh, it's how much Kate missed the trapeze by.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Yeah, more than that.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Next, it's Celebrity Sucker Punch.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15Kate survived 12 weeks of conflict in the Big Brother house,
0:04:15 > 0:04:16so this should be a walk in the park.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Will she be Lawler the brawler, or Lawler the faller?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24It's faller.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25- Oh, my God!- A little bit muddy.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28You're not wrong there, Amanda.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Even her celebrity eyeballs got muddy, look.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- Oh my...- Are you all right?
0:04:33 > 0:04:37- Do I look all right?- Yeah, you look fabulous, darling, fabulous.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Next, Kate has to face the Big Balls. What could possibly go wrong?
0:04:41 > 0:04:45Apart from that, and that, and that could happen...
0:04:45 > 0:04:47And that. All of those things.
0:04:47 > 0:04:52Remember, if Kate takes too long to jump she'll get some motivation from
0:04:52 > 0:04:56that massive foam mallet, so she'd better hurry up.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Here we go. She's on the first ball.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02No celebrity has ever crossed the Big Balls.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Can Kate Lawler be the first?
0:05:07 > 0:05:08No, she can't.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16While Kate takes a gentle paddle,
0:05:16 > 0:05:19here's a peek at today's final obstacle.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22It would be easy if they were ordinary Cradles of Doom,
0:05:22 > 0:05:23but these are...
0:05:23 > 0:05:27The Celebrity Cradles of Doom!
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Actually, they're exactly the same.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Right, Kate is cold, wet and probably fed up.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35This should be fun - for us.
0:05:38 > 0:05:39She's up.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42On to the first cradle.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Can she get the timing right, or will she rush it?
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Oh, great stuff. Just one more leap to go.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- Come on, Kate.- Yes.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58And Kate Lawler is the first celeb to cross the course
0:05:58 > 0:06:00with an impressive time of 2:35.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04I didn't mind the swingy bit, I got over the first one...
0:06:04 > 0:06:05FROG CROAKS
0:06:05 > 0:06:07- What's that noise?- A frog.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Eurgh, there's a frog here.
0:06:15 > 0:06:20Next up is celebrity chef Tony Tobin from Ready Steady Cook
0:06:20 > 0:06:22and Saturday Kitchen.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26So, Tony, are you going to be cooking up a storm out there today?
0:06:26 > 0:06:27This could be one of my best recipes.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Well, go get yourself out there and chop up the course
0:06:30 > 0:06:33and steam it and do whatever else you chefs do.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37I never get pudding. If Byram gets pudding on set,
0:06:37 > 0:06:40I demand to get pudding as well or I'm walking.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43And I've watched both of those shows he does. I think.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47Where was I? Oh, yeah, Tony Tobin has set off, sprinting across the
0:06:47 > 0:06:51pontoons and flying towards those Celebrity Traplonks.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Come on, Tony.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Yes, yes, here he goes.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00Like a true chef, making a meal out of this.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02- HE CHUCKLES - Making a meal! He's over, though.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05To be a good chef you need fast hands and perfect timing,
0:07:05 > 0:07:08so Tony should be pretty...
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Lines up the run,
0:07:13 > 0:07:19jumps, grabs thin air, and into the Argentinian mud jus.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24Now, to all those eggs that Tony's beaten over the years,
0:07:24 > 0:07:26it's finally payback time.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Tony doing well, it looks like those eggs might end up disappointed.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Nothing worse than that disappointed egg. What am I talking about? Oh!
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Tony getting a thorough basting in the mud there.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46So, how will the Ready Steady Cook veteran fair on the Big Balls?
0:07:46 > 0:07:48How far will he get?
0:07:48 > 0:07:54Will it be green pepper or red tomato? My money's on red tomato.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Come on, Tony.
0:08:00 > 0:08:01Yes, red tomato.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Did you hear me? I said red tomato.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Tony? Oh, there he is. I thought he was stuck in the...
0:08:08 > 0:08:10yeah.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Just the Cradles of Doom left now then Tony and Amanda
0:08:12 > 0:08:13can have their dessert.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17Safely on to the first. Speaking of dessert, where's mine?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Come on, Tony, that's it, yes!
0:08:20 > 0:08:22He's gone for the second and he's made it.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26One big jump to go - if Tony makes this jump he'll be the first
0:08:26 > 0:08:29celebrity chef from Reigate ever to cross the Celebrity...
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Oh, my pudding's arrived, fantastic.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34I don't like jelly, have you got anything else?
0:08:36 > 0:08:37Thank you.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43And Tony finishes in 3:15.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Yes!
0:08:47 > 0:08:53Now it's the turn of comedienne and star of Three Non-Blondes, Ninia Benjamin.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55And here are my muscles!
0:08:55 > 0:08:57But don't look at that bit.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59People are going to be shocked and in awe.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02I'm going to swing, I'm going to climb, I'm going to be so fit
0:09:02 > 0:09:06they're going to go, "Let's get her for the next Bond girl."
0:09:06 > 0:09:08OK, where is she?
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Where's she gone? There she is.
0:09:10 > 0:09:16Now, the perfect platform for Ninia to demonstrate the style and attitude of a true Bond girl.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19KLAXON BLARES
0:09:19 > 0:09:23- Here we go!- The klaxon means go.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Yeah, I'm getting attitude.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32I can see style. Now, for that Halle Berry moment.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34I don't hold out much hope for the poor thing.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Any minute now. Here she goes.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41SHE SHRIEKS
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Is that a seagull? No, that is actually her.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Maybe she needs time to get into the role.
0:09:47 > 0:09:52It's going to be a long day, people, a long day.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54In the meantime, maybe boy band heart-throb
0:09:54 > 0:09:58Anthony Costa from Blue can get across the course a bit quicker.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02I may be the boy from Blue, but I'll certainly "All Rise" to the occasion.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05I'm sure he changed a tyre for me once. Right, here goes Anthony.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Oops.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Either he sat on a gerbil or he picked up an injury -
0:10:10 > 0:10:12let's hope that's not too serious.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14No, he's OK, I think.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Climbing out on to the pontoons.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Oh, looking a bit unsteady.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Not stumbling any more, though, he's got his sea legs,
0:10:23 > 0:10:25let's find out if he brought his circus legs.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29OK, he's on to the Traplonk.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33First of all, jump trapeze, forwards, yes!
0:10:33 > 0:10:37No, backwards, oh, forwards... backwards again...
0:10:37 > 0:10:40If you've got a poster of him on your wall, girls, don't look.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Oh, dear, he's off.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44- Come on, Anthony. - Yeah, come on, Anthony.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Now he's got a feel for this
0:10:46 > 0:10:49I expect he'll do a lot better second time around.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54No, I was wrong there. Quite badly wrong.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- That's going to Costa him. - Amanda Byram, there.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01She writes all her own material, you know - in crayon.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Anthony might be used to the waving, outstretched arms
0:11:05 > 0:11:09of Blue fans, but this represents an entirely different challenge.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16# It's sad, so sad
0:11:16 > 0:11:19# It's a sad, sad situation
0:11:19 > 0:11:22# And it's getting more and more absurd... #
0:11:22 > 0:11:26Certainly is, as a muddy and singed Anthony prepares to take on
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Argentina's most famous four piece.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31It's blue versus red.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36And red wins.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40He is looking tired, we may have broken him.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Underwater no one can hear you sing.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Just the Cradles of Doom to go.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50So far today, everybody's made it across,
0:11:50 > 0:11:55so can Anthony Costa be the first today not to make it?
0:11:56 > 0:11:59He's on to the first, halfway there.
0:12:03 > 0:12:09Oh, a little snatch of one of those famous Blue dance routines, I think.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- He doesn't look happy at all, does he? Look.- You can do it.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Don't jinx it for him, Amanda.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Oh, she jinxed it, that was Amanda's fault.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23She did that. The celebrity Cradles of Doom are all about
0:12:23 > 0:12:28timing and I think Anthony might have missed that memo about timing.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Not the quickest time overall, but I'm sure Anthony will make
0:12:31 > 0:12:36up for it with a rendition of one of those musical ditties that got him to the top of the hit parade.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40- HE SNORTS - I don't know that one - was that one of theirs?
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Time to rejoin budding Bond girl Ninia
0:12:42 > 0:12:46as she emerges effortlessly from the water.
0:12:46 > 0:12:47SHE CACKLES
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Muchas gracias!
0:12:52 > 0:12:54After that little setback,
0:12:54 > 0:12:59it's time for Ninia to show us her licence to thrill.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02That's not technically an obstacle.
0:13:02 > 0:13:07This truly is a sterling effort from Ninia. What determination,
0:13:07 > 0:13:10what conviction, what spirit.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14Unfortunately, however, Ninia is being a tiny bit on the slow side,
0:13:14 > 0:13:16and to prevent us from over-running,
0:13:16 > 0:13:20I'm going to give the fast-forward button a bit of a nudge.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Ah, that's better.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Making progress.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Why are we all laughing?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31I don't know.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Well, she may have avoided the Traplonks,
0:13:35 > 0:13:38but she won't be able to avoid the Sucker Punch.
0:13:41 > 0:13:47Oh, that was in the face, below-the-belt. Oh, ow.
0:13:49 > 0:13:50Yeah, that was...
0:13:50 > 0:13:52tummy, knee, arm, head.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Just everywhere.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Oh, so close!
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Not really. It was always miles out.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Poor Ninia took a bit of a battering there.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Is there anywhere she didn't actually get hit?
0:14:04 > 0:14:05I think the answer is...
0:14:07 > 0:14:11The Big Balls, now. Ninia has a time so far of five minutes 15 seconds.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15She bottled the Traplonk. She's doomed but will she bottle it here?
0:14:17 > 0:14:19No, this is brave stuff.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21She's on to the first one. Hang on in there, Ninia.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Now, don't rush this.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Take your time.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29You've got all the time in the world.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33MUSIC: "We Have All The Time In The World" by Louis Armstrong
0:14:49 > 0:14:51That was a bit more time than I was expecting.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55You're going to need to move, Ninia. Yeah, she moved, she moved.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58I'm going to come back to Ninia.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Here's someone who should fare better.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03I don't want to big him up too much, but he is a former World,
0:15:03 > 0:15:07European and Commonwealth Champion and Olympic silver medallist.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10It's Iwan Thomas.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14I've taken on the best, now it's time to take on these big red balls.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16- Come on! - Get ready for something special.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19He's just going to leap over this.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21- Oh!- Come on, speedy boy.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Not the catchiest of nicknames, Amanda, but I'll go with it.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28Speedy Boy Iwan clearly means business.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30The Traplonks first.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34Oh, and sailing over the first Traplonk.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Woah, not the second, though.
0:15:38 > 0:15:43Iwan going for a high-jump record there, didn't quite pull it off, probably because he is a sprinter.
0:15:43 > 0:15:48He holds the British record for fastest time in the 4x400m relay,
0:15:48 > 0:15:50but can he outbox the Sucker Punch?
0:15:50 > 0:15:56No. Because he's a sprinter.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Finally, time for some sprinting.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01It's there 4x1 Big Ball relay.
0:16:01 > 0:16:031, 2, 3, wow!
0:16:05 > 0:16:10- I'm speechless!- Fearless Iwan flies across all four balls.
0:16:10 > 0:16:11That was spectacular.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21The final leg of Iwan's Qualifier approaches.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24It's the Cradles of Doom.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27And this is looking like a very fast time.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31He's up. He's off.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32He's across.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35And he's completely mucked it up.
0:16:35 > 0:16:41Iwan going for a long jump record there, didn't quite pull it off because, yeah, he's a sprinter.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44So, the athletics legend skips up to the finishing podium
0:16:44 > 0:16:46in a time of 1 minute 35.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48That is going to take some beating.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54That is pure guts.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57The 400's guts as well if you go hard, but that run today,
0:16:57 > 0:17:02the Wipeout course, you can't have any fear, don't hesitate.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Think about things, then make your mind up and go for it.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09Ninia here, now on a time of nine and a half minutes.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13Pushing the boundaries of epic. At least she's still smiling.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15I'm so tired!
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Come on, Ninia.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Come on.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25I think that smile's ebbed slightly.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29She's on the first one, looking good... ish.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33I don't like it!
0:17:33 > 0:17:37- You're not supposed to! Come on, Ninia, get to your feet.- I can't!
0:17:37 > 0:17:41Stand up on the one you're on.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Oh, Ninia!
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Now I've got a problem, I've only been given 11 minutes worth
0:17:50 > 0:17:55of commentary and I've literally run out of words, so, I don't know, let's just sit back and watch.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57This is new territory.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00OK, straight ahead of you, that way, the other way,
0:18:00 > 0:18:02the other way, that way.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09I don't want to go up! I don't want to do it.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13I don't want to go up!
0:18:13 > 0:18:17- You're so close. - Do I have to go up?- Yes, you do!
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- Woo-hoo!- Do I have to stand up?
0:18:28 > 0:18:33Ninia's run will go down in Celebrity Total Wipeout history.
0:18:33 > 0:18:3611 minutes 11 seconds. Wow.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40So, let's have a look at the leaderboard. Iwan Thomas has sprinted
0:18:40 > 0:18:44into gold medal position, while Kate "The Faller" Lawler lies in silver.
0:18:44 > 0:18:51Tony Tobin is in third, in fourth place is Anthony Costa, and epic Ninia is currently in last place.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55But there are still more celebrities to come, so this could all change.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Though not the last place, probably.
0:18:57 > 0:19:02Now, remember, the slowest to cross the Qualifier will get just one measly point.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04The fastest will get ten.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08Who will it be? If I were to say the name Nancy Lam...
0:19:08 > 0:19:11what would you say?
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Yes, well she's not just a famous... what is she?
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Chef. I reckon she could be today's dark horse.
0:19:18 > 0:19:24I eat prawns like eating lovely sweet,
0:19:24 > 0:19:28but I'm going to try to show you
0:19:28 > 0:19:32those big things, those big red things and go...
0:19:34 > 0:19:36I can't wait to see her in action.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38I'm scared! Who's next?
0:19:38 > 0:19:43Wow! Weather presenting legend, Sian Lloyd.
0:19:43 > 0:19:49I'm forecasting high pressure in charge, glorious blue skies, wall-to-wall sunshine,
0:19:49 > 0:19:55but later on, maybe deep depression moving in, leading to more unsettled conditions.
0:19:55 > 0:20:00That's exactly why you're the best weather presenter in the world. That was brilliant.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04And she's off.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Yes, little nod to the camera there. Presenter skills coming to the fore.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Always the consummate professional.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12First Traplonk now. Oh, dear. That was...
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Still, she kept her composure.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Bravo! Exquisite. Very ladylike.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Right, the Sucker Punch next.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Come on, Sian.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28This wall punches back.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29Aargh!
0:20:30 > 0:20:33The voice that soothes millions every evening.
0:20:33 > 0:20:38First few cracks starting to show maybe in that presenter veneer?
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Aargh! Aargh! Aargh!
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Yeah.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Sian Lloyd's been at the top of her game for 25 years.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50She's demonstrating here how important it is
0:20:50 > 0:20:53to always look her best, regardless of the situation.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57She combines that with the skill of always keeping calm under pressure.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Aargh!
0:21:01 > 0:21:02See?
0:21:05 > 0:21:07I forecast a weather presenter
0:21:07 > 0:21:11heading south with high pressure as wet conditions are moving in.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18Sian was voted UK Rear Of The Year in 2007.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Can she eclipse this achievement by adding the title
0:21:21 > 0:21:23of Celebrity Cradles of Doom Crosser?
0:21:23 > 0:21:26- I can't do this!- Yes you can!
0:21:26 > 0:21:27- Yes you can.- I so can't!
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- Come on, Sian. - I'm so scared of this.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Overcome that fear. Master it.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Yes! Oh, look at this.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38This is moving stuff.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Sian Lloyd overcoming her greatest fears,
0:21:41 > 0:21:44tapping into her last reserves of strength.
0:21:44 > 0:21:45Refusing to be overcome.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49Oh.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Despite a moment of weakness on the cradles,
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Sian Lloyd regains her composure to complete the Qualifier
0:21:58 > 0:22:00in six minutes and 11 seconds.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Wahey!
0:22:04 > 0:22:06I am zonked!
0:22:06 > 0:22:10- There was zonking?- I am zonked! - I didn't see any zonking.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14Anyway, next is TV presenter and former professional footballer, Jeff Brazier.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17You've seen the rest, now witness the best!
0:22:17 > 0:22:19He's on after me.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Tell me, what do the kids think of Daddy being here?
0:22:22 > 0:22:27It's their favourite programme. They've been talking to me about tactics and what we're going to do
0:22:27 > 0:22:30on the red balls and maybe that will help me to get a good time.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Jeff says he wants to break the record time for the Qualifier.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38That's 1:08, by the way.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41I'd say there's a fair chance he'll break something tonight.
0:22:41 > 0:22:42In fact, I'm almost certain.
0:22:42 > 0:22:47- Traplonks time. Jeff judges the first one perfectly.- Yes!
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Oh, and misjudges the second one perfectly!
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Just look at Jeff Brazier, giving 100% here.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Leaving nothing in the changing rooms.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Apart from his bag, maybe. Change of clothes, watch,
0:23:01 > 0:23:04- but it's all locked up in a safe. - Come on, Jeff!
0:23:04 > 0:23:06# Flash, aah-aah! #
0:23:06 > 0:23:08The Sucker Punch now, and wow!
0:23:08 > 0:23:10I've never seen that before!
0:23:10 > 0:23:13That must be a Total Wipeout first.
0:23:13 > 0:23:18If he can do that on the Sucker Punch, what can he do here?
0:23:20 > 0:23:23It's a good effort. It's a good effort.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Jeff Brazier may not beat the course record, but he's having a very good go at it.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32# Gordon's alive! #
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Who's Gordon? Where does he come in?
0:23:34 > 0:23:36# Flash, aah-aah! #
0:23:36 > 0:23:40Just the Cradles of Doom to go now for Gordon Brazier.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43If he makes these, he'll beat Iwan Thomas's time.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46He's up the ladder.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50He's going for it. Come on! Come on!
0:23:50 > 0:23:55Ooh! He really went straight for it!
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Mmm. No records broken.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Possibly just his nose.
0:24:01 > 0:24:02And some teeth.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06And our podium. Still, despite that howler,
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Jeff "Gordon" Brazier completes the Qualifier
0:24:08 > 0:24:10in one minute and 44 seconds,
0:24:10 > 0:24:13only nine seconds shy of Iwan Thomas.
0:24:13 > 0:24:19So far, the Qualifier has terrified the celebrities.
0:24:19 > 0:24:25So what's really needed now is somebody who is completely fearless.
0:24:25 > 0:24:30- Brilliant. It's Really Wild presenter, Michaela Strachan.- Rah!
0:24:30 > 0:24:32I've swam with sharks,
0:24:32 > 0:24:35I've been charged by an elephant, been charged by a rhino.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38So, you know, how difficult can it be?
0:24:38 > 0:24:42I was once bothered by a baboon, but that's a whole different story.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Michaela Strachan is a wildlife lover and hater of pollution.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48So probably best not to tell her
0:24:48 > 0:24:52this is where the Argentineans store their toxic waste.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Yes, she definitely doesn't want to fall in there.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Oh, she's, er, she's fallen in.
0:24:57 > 0:25:02That toxic sludge is emitting 1,000 millisieverts of radiation.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04She's not going to be happy with that.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Michaela lives in Cape Town
0:25:08 > 0:25:12and looks out of the window every morning to see lions, bison...
0:25:12 > 0:25:15polar bears... and hopefully not that baboon I mentioned.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17That was horrible. Oh.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21Oh! You'd better get out of that stuff pretty quickly as well.
0:25:21 > 0:25:26It burns after a while. Sucker Punch really dishing it out there to Michaela.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Michaela claims to be fearless.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Let's find out how well that claim holds up here.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Now. Can she... oh, she's off!
0:25:36 > 0:25:41She really wants to be careful in that water, the Argentineans use it to strip paint...
0:25:41 > 0:25:44off farm machines. It's true!
0:25:44 > 0:25:49Michaela surprisingly intact as she approaches the Cradles of Doom.
0:25:49 > 0:25:54Ooh, she's onto the first. Come on, Michaela.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57She's up and making a move onto the second.
0:25:57 > 0:25:58One leap to go before
0:25:58 > 0:26:02she can climb into that on-site decontamination chamber.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05- She'll probably make it.- Yes! - Michaela's made it in a very good
0:26:05 > 0:26:07two minutes and 11 seconds.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Thankfully not suffering any ill side-effects... yet.
0:26:10 > 0:26:11What happened?
0:26:11 > 0:26:16- Urgh!- Oh, dear! That's what I did when the baboon got me.
0:26:16 > 0:26:22Now, get ready to be astounded and have your preconceptions shattered.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Because Nancy Lam is...
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Oh. Hang on. Yes.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32I've just been told Nancy is retiring from the competition.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Problems with her blood pressure?
0:26:34 > 0:26:37That's disappointing and a bit of an anti-climax.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39I kind of wish I hadn't bigged her up so much now.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43Or bet my car on her making the Wipeout Zone.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46I'm joined now at the top of the Qualifier by thespian, Joe Absolom.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50- Joe, how are you doing?- Very good. Feeling really excited by this.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54- The mud's probably going to be a bit difficult.- Why?
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Because it's muddy.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00This course may be silly, but not as silly as these bad boys.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Yes, they are quite silly. Yep.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07- Pretty good start from the former EastEnders actor.- Nice, Joe!
0:27:07 > 0:27:11Onto the pontoons. Joe's appearing on Total Wipeout
0:27:11 > 0:27:15to prove to his three-year-old daughter that he can do it.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18And from the looks of it, yes, he can!
0:27:18 > 0:27:19No, he can't.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Sorry. Joe provided some comedy there.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Real acting talent.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28Showing us his versatility as a thespian.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Joe has often been cast in the role of hard man,
0:27:30 > 0:27:32but so has the Sucker Punch,
0:27:32 > 0:27:36so this should make for some interesting dialogue on set.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Ah-ha! Yes. Straight in.
0:27:38 > 0:27:43Sucker Punch steals the scene again. Never mind. Big Balls now.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45The stage of many a dramatic encounter.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51Here we go. Ooh. Ooh. Oh!
0:27:54 > 0:27:58Uncanny resemblance to his action scene in Casualty... or The Bill.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Holby City, Last of the Summer Wine. One of those.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05Joe says he's never won anything, but if he makes it over these
0:28:05 > 0:28:09without a fall, he may well have the winning time today.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Come on, Joe. This is it.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15Onto the first. Whoa! Yes! Almost falls, but he's recovered.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19This is very quick. One more jump. Wow! He's made it.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Joe, you are a champion!
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Now, cheer up, please!
0:28:25 > 0:28:30That incredible performance puts Joe at the top of the leaderboard and wins him the maximum ten points.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Iwan Thomas in second with nine.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36Jeff "Gordon" Brazier still pretty "Flash" in third. Michaela Strachan in fourth.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Kate Lawler in fifth. Tony Tobin in sixth.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Antony Costa in seventh.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44In the danger zone are Sian Lloyd with three points,
0:28:44 > 0:28:49Ninia on two and somehow Nancy has one point for not even starting.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53Work that out. But remember, no-one gets eliminated yet.
0:28:53 > 0:28:57Everyone has a chance to claw back some dignity in the next round.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01That's right. It's Crash Mountain. Which is dripping dignity.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04Well, it's dripping something. I think it's hydraulic fluid.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Ha! It's going to catch fire!
0:29:12 > 0:29:15The celebrities must all dash to the centre podium,
0:29:15 > 0:29:17avoiding that high-speed sweeper arm.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20The first across will be awarded a full ten points.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23The second will score nine, and so on.
0:29:23 > 0:29:27At the end, the points are combined with those from the Qualifier
0:29:27 > 0:29:31and the five highest-scoring contestants will go through to the next round. Got that?
0:29:31 > 0:29:34Good. Let's meet the lucky ten.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36On podium one, it's Nancy Lam.
0:29:36 > 0:29:40Well, it would be Nancy Lam but she's on the "did not start" bench.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43On two and three, Antony Costa...
0:29:43 > 0:29:47I may be the boy from Blue, but boys, I'm coming after you! Woo!
0:29:47 > 0:29:49..And Kate Lawler.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52I'm so excited to be here. Can you see it on my face?
0:29:52 > 0:29:56That girl's got range. On four and five, Tony Tobin...
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Is this my best side, yeah?
0:29:58 > 0:30:00No. And Jeff Gordon Brazier.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02I don't want to swim any more.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06You probably will have to. On six and seven, it's Sian Lloyd...
0:30:06 > 0:30:08This looks pretty stormy to me.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12I'm forecasting unsettled conditions ahead.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14How does she do that? And Ninia Benjamin.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18I may have come last on the thing but on this thing,
0:30:18 > 0:30:21I'm going to come second to last.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24All right! On eight and nine it's...Joe Absolom!
0:30:24 > 0:30:27This arm may be going around but it's not going to take me down.
0:30:27 > 0:30:28..And Iwan Thomas.
0:30:28 > 0:30:33I may have been beaten by the balls, but let's hope this doesn't leave me deflated.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36And finally on podium 10, it's Michaela Strachan.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40I'm going to try and skip across this like a mountain goat.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42That's the plan, anyway. GOAT BLEATS
0:30:46 > 0:30:49All of our celebrities have climbed the slippery slope to success
0:30:49 > 0:30:53and now they're about to come crashing down. It's Crash Mountain.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56- Are you all already? - Yes!- No.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Ah! Oh, celebrities!
0:30:58 > 0:31:02They're always ready for action. 3, 2, 1...
0:31:02 > 0:31:04KLAXON SOUNDS
0:31:04 > 0:31:07So, Crash Mountain begins.
0:31:09 > 0:31:10- No way.- Well, come on.
0:31:10 > 0:31:11No way. I ain't going.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15No way.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Not exactly oozing enthusiasm, are they?
0:31:19 > 0:31:22Maybe they're waiting for their agents to tell them to go?
0:31:22 > 0:31:24When do we go?
0:31:24 > 0:31:27Now! Oh great, Tony's off and in the water.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29That's not going to have inspired them to try,
0:31:29 > 0:31:32but at least he did try. Come on, celebrities!
0:31:32 > 0:31:35You're a disgrace to show business, or whatever you variously do.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Iwan goes for it. So close!
0:31:37 > 0:31:38Ohh!
0:31:38 > 0:31:40- My heart's beating. - My heart is as well.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Ninia goes for it.
0:31:45 > 0:31:46Oh, no!
0:31:46 > 0:31:52They do say comedy is all about timing and that was perfect.
0:31:52 > 0:31:53Who'll be next?
0:31:54 > 0:31:56It's Jeff. Good landing.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58Oh, quality ducking action.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01- Come on, Jeff.- Come on, Jeff!
0:32:01 > 0:32:02- Get up and run!- Yes, come on.
0:32:04 > 0:32:05Oh, what was that?
0:32:05 > 0:32:08He just chickened out.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10Here's Joe! No.
0:32:10 > 0:32:11That was the best attempt yet.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14He touched the summit... with his face.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17This is impossible!
0:32:18 > 0:32:22- I can't do it!- It's not impossible for normal humans, Kate.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24But maybe for celebrities, is a mission impossible.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Mind you, here comes Iwan, and Michaela's off.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29- Come on!- Yes!
0:32:29 > 0:32:32Iwan Thomas is the first to the centre.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34- Anything is possible! - He gets ten points.
0:32:34 > 0:32:38Right, who's next, as Iwan rallies the troops?
0:32:39 > 0:32:41- IWAN SHOUTS - There's a motivational speech.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44Come on. Oh, Antony! Straight into the water.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49- Argh!- That's the catchy follow-up to his PRRFFFT song.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Now available to download.
0:32:53 > 0:32:59Kate now and she's in very quickly.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03Ninia again. Ow! That's cruel.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06- Michaela's on. - Stay down! Get up and run.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Come on! Come on!
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Oh, no, she's off.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Jeff again.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18- Oh. Well, that's original and ineffective.- Oh!
0:33:18 > 0:33:21There is something you don't see every day. Entertaining though.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Well, oh!
0:33:25 > 0:33:27He'll get gigs of the strength of that.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30Tony's back for seconds... of nasty water.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Joe now.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34No! Just misses out again.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36We're going to do it, come on.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38Kate's on. Properly now.
0:33:38 > 0:33:39Oww!
0:33:39 > 0:33:42Oh dear!
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Her head just got run over!
0:33:44 > 0:33:47But she is still on. Just needs to get too her feet.
0:33:47 > 0:33:48Come on, Kate.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51Just one more jump. And she's across.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55That's nine points to Kate Lawler, with a little help from Iwan there.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59Bolt her arm back into the socket and she'll be fine.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02Right, now, still points up for grabs. Who will be next?
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Jeff's on. Just hanging on in there.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07Oh!
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Now he's joined by Michaela.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13Just needs to get to his feet.
0:34:13 > 0:34:18Oh, he's chickened out. Again. But Michaela is still on. She needs to get to her feet quickly.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22Good stuff. Good stuff. Ouch!
0:34:22 > 0:34:24No! No!
0:34:24 > 0:34:28Oh dear! That's a no. Still no.
0:34:28 > 0:34:29No.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Slide up. Slide across it.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Kate Lawler, Crash Mountain expert there.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40- Joe's made it. Eight points to him. - Woo!
0:34:41 > 0:34:44Now, can Tony make it? He's on.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46Just needs to get to his feet.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50He's made it to the centre. That's seven points to him.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54Great effort. Made that look easy.
0:34:54 > 0:34:59Now the remaining celebrities need to get a move on. Antony now.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01This might be his final chance to score some decent points.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03Come on.
0:35:07 > 0:35:11No. This could be game over for Antony.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15Jeff now with a last-ditch attempt.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17No! No!
0:35:17 > 0:35:18Yes! Come on!
0:35:19 > 0:35:22I'm not sure if that's legal, but he's across. Four celebs left.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Sian hasn't tried once.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Pretty sure Ninia is out. Antony, I'm not sure.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Michaela, I don't know.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32She's going for it.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Oh...suddenly this is looking good
0:35:34 > 0:35:36and she's made it.
0:35:36 > 0:35:40Bit of a team effort there earns Michaela Strachan five points.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46- KLAXON SOUNDS - There goes the klaxon.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48It's game over. There are six on the podium.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51Let's see which five have made it through to Dizzy Dummies.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54I've got to do so maths now, so bear with me...
0:35:54 > 0:35:58Iwan's maximum ten points on Crash Mountain puts the former athlete in top spot.
0:35:58 > 0:36:02Joe is just one behind after his incredible Qualifier run.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Kate and Jeff are in third and fourth.
0:36:04 > 0:36:08And this is close - Michaela and Tony are tied on 12 points.
0:36:08 > 0:36:13What happens now? In the event of a draw, the person with the fastest Qualifier time goes through.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16So Michaela gets to join the others in Dizzy Dummies.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19- DOWNBEAT JAZZ MUSIC - It's goodbye to Tony,
0:36:19 > 0:36:23Antony, Sian, Ninia and Nancy.
0:36:23 > 0:36:29I'm sure they'll probably pop up again on The Hole In The Wall or The One Show...some time.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32I gave it two good goes.
0:36:32 > 0:36:37Two good goes and then I decided not to give it any more goes.
0:36:37 > 0:36:41I've got terrible balance. I literally froze.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45I've got the world's worst balance.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49I tried to do it. I was really, really just...
0:36:49 > 0:36:53gutted, man! Bad.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57I'm not happy. I wanted...
0:36:57 > 0:37:01that Wipeout Zone. I really wanted to go to the Wipeout Zone.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03Sorry, kids.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06Watch me, have a good laugh.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08Who cares?!
0:37:10 > 0:37:12MUSIC FINISHES
0:37:13 > 0:37:14- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:37:14 > 0:37:17Just in case you didn't think I was actually playing it...
0:37:17 > 0:37:19HE PLAYS POORLY
0:37:22 > 0:37:23Yeah.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26Proof. Now it's time for Dizzy Dummies.
0:37:33 > 0:37:38It all starts with a fast spin in the Dizzy Dummy, followed by a clamber over the goalpost.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41Then the celebrities must traverse the Blob.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Last one across is eliminated.
0:37:43 > 0:37:47Then, more spinning and a trip over the Crazy Beams.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50Again, the last one across is eliminated.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52That's what this show is all about -
0:37:52 > 0:37:55celebrities being sick for charity.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58Want to see a celebrity spinning out of control?
0:37:58 > 0:38:00Well, I've got a treat for you. Here's five.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04- It's Dizzy Dummies. You all ready? - Yes.- No!
0:38:04 > 0:38:07This lot were born ready. 3, 2, 1!
0:38:07 > 0:38:10KLAXON SOUNDS
0:38:10 > 0:38:12As the show business merry-go-round begins,
0:38:12 > 0:38:16it's time for a reminder of just who today's Dizzy Dummies are.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18He's used to going this fast, just not round in circles.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22- It's time to take on these big red balls!- It's speedy boy, Iwan.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26- Agh! - She's a faller, she's a brawler.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29- Wish me luck. - It's Kate, "The Faller" Lawler.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35Half man, half... er, lady? I don't know.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38It's ex-EastEnder, Joe Absolom.
0:38:38 > 0:38:43Then there's Emperor Ming's arch enemy - Jeff Gordon Brazier.
0:38:43 > 0:38:50And finally it's Michaela Strachan, who amazingly looks about the same here...
0:38:50 > 0:38:52as she does here.
0:38:54 > 0:39:00Michaela calibrates herself, and they're off! Sort of.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Lot of staggering.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09Iwan's over the goal.
0:39:09 > 0:39:10And Jeff. And Joe.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16Not Michaela.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Iwan on to The Blob, racing ahead.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20Oh, no, slips right off!
0:39:20 > 0:39:24400 metres on a running track - fine for Iwan, but five metres on
0:39:24 > 0:39:27an inflatable peppermint, now there's a problem.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29Jeff taking the lead, but Joe's chasing.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33- Come on, Kate! - Now there's an opening for Kate.
0:39:33 > 0:39:38Steady. This game isn't really about speed, more about balance.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40Michaela's heading the chase.
0:39:40 > 0:39:44Come on. Oh, no!
0:39:44 > 0:39:47She didn't mind the gap, and look what's happened.
0:39:47 > 0:39:52Swallowed by the celebrity-munching Blob. That'll make the papers.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55Michaela in the lead now, will she avoid the gap?
0:39:57 > 0:40:00She's hanging on. Come on, Michaela.
0:40:00 > 0:40:05Oh, no. No. Joe managed to knock Michaela to safety. What a gent.
0:40:05 > 0:40:09- That's it, Michaela.- One jump now. Michaela's so close. Come on.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12Hang in there.
0:40:12 > 0:40:17Every ounce of strength. Yes. Yes, she's up, and she's made it to the finish line. Incredible.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20Michaela's first through.
0:40:20 > 0:40:21- Yes!- Clearly, Iwan wants to join her.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25Wow! Oh, dear.
0:40:25 > 0:40:30Slow down, Iwan, this isn't the Olympics. And that certainly isn't a running track.
0:40:30 > 0:40:36Kate once again in pole position. Will she mind that gap the second time around? She misses the gap...
0:40:36 > 0:40:40but still slips in. The Blob causing complete celebrity carnage out there today.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42Jeff taking it steady.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Very steady. Oh, dear.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47A bit too steady.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50Until the end, which suddenly looks very unsteady.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56Joe, though, back on, and moving like a frog. It's working.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01Big jump required now. Come on...this is looking good.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04Yes?
0:41:04 > 0:41:08Better by the second for Joe. Can he make it? One final jump.
0:41:08 > 0:41:14Yes, Joe is through, which means you, Iwan, Kate and Jeff are competing for just two places now.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17Iwan looking good.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19Well, he was until he disappeared from sight.
0:41:19 > 0:41:23That red top is bringing down more celebs them a...red top.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28Kate back on the Blob, looking focused.
0:41:32 > 0:41:36- Oh, please.- It's no good pleading, it's the Blob. It won't hear you.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Needs a good jump now, and she'll have made it.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43Jeff is closing in, though.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46- I've never seen anyone so scared of a pontoon.- I would jump,
0:41:47 > 0:41:49because Jeff is right behind you.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51- Jump on my feet?- Yes, yes.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54Jeff jumps, Kate jumps. Oh no!
0:41:54 > 0:41:58Yes! Kate's across, but Jeff is swallowed by the gap.
0:41:58 > 0:42:05So either Iwan or Jeff is about to be eliminated. Here comes Iwan.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08A final dash.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10No!
0:42:10 > 0:42:14Iwan's down. This is looking decidedly dangerous now.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Jeff. Can he make it? Come on, looking tired.
0:42:23 > 0:42:27This is where it gets dangerous, from here on in.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Ye-ye-ye-ye-yes. OK, that's it.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34- Take your time, take your time. - Will Iwan get another chance?
0:42:34 > 0:42:36He's ready and waiting. He might not.
0:42:41 > 0:42:47Jeff is through to the next round, which, unbelievably, means Iwan Thomas has been eliminated.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50You said to me you wanted to get to the Wipeout Zone.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53That's all I wanted to do, but listen, I was beaten by four better people.
0:42:53 > 0:42:58It was tough, but whoever makes it, well done. Make the most of it, because I wanted to do it.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Listen, hard luck. You've been absolutely fantastic.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Well done to get this far.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04- Thank you very much. - Go and get dried off.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07So, incredibly, an Olympic athlete has been beaten by
0:43:07 > 0:43:09two TV presenters, an actor and a Big Brother winner.
0:43:09 > 0:43:11Who knows what's going to happen next?
0:43:22 > 0:43:25Ah well. They're off. Limbering up.
0:43:27 > 0:43:30Getting ready. Joe, first to the goal...ish. No.
0:43:33 > 0:43:35Jeff now quickly up and over.
0:43:35 > 0:43:39A nice acrobatic landing, too. Very elegant.
0:43:42 > 0:43:44So now to the Crazy Beams for Jeff.
0:43:47 > 0:43:49Ooh...
0:43:49 > 0:43:51No. No.
0:43:51 > 0:43:55Back to the start for him. Joe now.
0:43:55 > 0:43:58Kate floundering a bit there.
0:43:58 > 0:44:02Joe taking a measured approach. It's paying off, though. He's staying on.
0:44:03 > 0:44:06It's back to the start for Michaela.
0:44:08 > 0:44:10Kate is still in the running.
0:44:11 > 0:44:15Joe now very nearly across. Come on.
0:44:18 > 0:44:23Just one leap now between him and the Wipeout Zone.
0:44:23 > 0:44:25- Yes!- He's done it.
0:44:25 > 0:44:28Joe grabs one of the coveted spots in the final.
0:44:28 > 0:44:31Two places remain. Who will be joining him?
0:44:31 > 0:44:33Jeff makes cautious progress,
0:44:33 > 0:44:35gently inching his way towards the finish line.
0:44:36 > 0:44:39Oh! No, Michaela's in the water again.
0:44:40 > 0:44:43Jeff weighing up his next move.
0:44:43 > 0:44:46He's on. But can he stay on?
0:44:46 > 0:44:48- Yes, he can.- You've got it.
0:44:48 > 0:44:49And, yes! Jeff is through.
0:44:49 > 0:44:54So either Kate or Michaela is about to be eliminated.
0:44:57 > 0:45:01There is just one place left, so they might want to get a move on.
0:45:01 > 0:45:02A fantastic effort from Kate.
0:45:02 > 0:45:05Come on, Michaela. Fight, fight for it.
0:45:05 > 0:45:09It could all be over for Michaela now, and Kate is across.
0:45:10 > 0:45:13Look at her, just beaming from ear to ear. She's enjoying this!
0:45:13 > 0:45:18Michaela, you were so, so close.
0:45:18 > 0:45:21I really struggled getting on that first one.
0:45:21 > 0:45:25Once you're on, it's easy. It probably doesn't help if you're little.
0:45:25 > 0:45:29Because you kind of dive on to it, not quite tall enough to reach.
0:45:29 > 0:45:32They really wanted to get through, and I'm pleased with where I've got.
0:45:32 > 0:45:34And I've had a really good time.
0:45:34 > 0:45:38So, today's Wipeout Zone competitors have been decided.
0:45:38 > 0:45:41Here's an interesting bit of Wipeout trivia for you.
0:45:41 > 0:45:44All three finalists have something in common.
0:45:44 > 0:45:47They all share the same occupation.
0:45:47 > 0:45:49Yep, they're all celebrities.
0:45:49 > 0:45:52Time to see what reaching the final round means to them all,
0:45:52 > 0:45:54even if it means absolutely nothing.
0:45:54 > 0:45:57At least Joe's an actor, so he can lay it on thick for us,
0:45:57 > 0:45:59might even get some tears!
0:45:59 > 0:46:01He is an actor, isn't he, not a racing...? He's an actor.
0:46:04 > 0:46:07My training for this consisted of joining a gym.
0:46:07 > 0:46:11I'm quite lethargic, I think I only went twice to the gym, so...
0:46:14 > 0:46:17Nothing can prepare you for Total Wipeout.
0:46:17 > 0:46:20It's been so much tougher than I expected it to be.
0:46:20 > 0:46:24The bruises won't last too long, but the memories will last a long time.
0:46:24 > 0:46:29People say it's not about the winning, it's the taking part that counts. But to win is really good.
0:46:29 > 0:46:33I'm slightly apprehensive of losing to Kate Lawler,
0:46:33 > 0:46:37that would kill me. Ha! That would kill me.
0:46:38 > 0:46:41I think I've got a very worthy charity to donate 10,000 to,
0:46:41 > 0:46:45and it would be major bragging rights for my kids at school.
0:46:45 > 0:46:47I would love it if I beat Jeff and Joe.
0:46:47 > 0:46:49I would love to win this, love it.
0:46:49 > 0:46:52It would be the best thing I'd ever done.
0:46:52 > 0:46:54A mixture of nerves and excitement.
0:46:54 > 0:46:57It's going to be water, tough, something I've never done before.
0:46:57 > 0:47:00If I get knocked off, I'll get up as quick as I can
0:47:00 > 0:47:03and keep on until there's nothing left in the tank.
0:47:03 > 0:47:05Just give it all. I'll only be here once.
0:47:05 > 0:47:08- I will give it my best shot. - It really is anybody's.
0:47:10 > 0:47:13Where they're going, there is no guest list.
0:47:13 > 0:47:16There's no red carpet, and there's no VIP treatment.
0:47:16 > 0:47:18It's just them on their own.
0:47:18 > 0:47:21With Amanda. And a cameraman.
0:47:21 > 0:47:24And lots of health and safety people. It's the Wipeout Zone.
0:47:29 > 0:47:33Here's what awaits today's famous competitors.
0:47:33 > 0:47:36Killer Surf, Celebrity Slide,
0:47:36 > 0:47:41Rapid Climb, Showbiz Waterfall, the Balance Beam.
0:47:41 > 0:47:44An all-star Precarious Ledge.
0:47:44 > 0:47:45Crazy Sweeper.
0:47:45 > 0:47:49A glitzy Spinning Arm, followed by a glamorous Rope Swing
0:47:49 > 0:47:51to the five-star Rotating Platform.
0:47:51 > 0:47:54Finishing with a jump to the renowned Podium,
0:47:54 > 0:47:57where the Famous Button stops the Illustrious Clock.
0:47:57 > 0:48:04Fastest one wins a shiny cup and £10,000 for the charity of their choice.
0:48:04 > 0:48:07It's been a long, hard day for our celebrities.
0:48:07 > 0:48:10And it's about to get even longer and harder.
0:48:10 > 0:48:13It's the Wipeout Zone, and the first to brave it tonight is Kate.
0:48:18 > 0:48:22So, Kate "The Faller" Lawler is tonight's first celebrity crash test dummy.
0:48:25 > 0:48:28- Wish me luck.- Good luck.
0:48:28 > 0:48:30Well, she's away.
0:48:34 > 0:48:37Well, she spins around to perfectly face the Rapid Climb.
0:48:37 > 0:48:41Nice work, Kate. Just a swim to the Rapid Climb.
0:48:41 > 0:48:44She needs to pull herself up as quickly as possible.
0:48:47 > 0:48:49Once on the start of it,
0:48:49 > 0:48:52she's got ten seconds before a tidal wave is unleashed.
0:48:52 > 0:48:54That ten seconds starts now.
0:48:58 > 0:49:01Oh, no, she's struggling already. This isn't good.
0:49:01 > 0:49:03I'm scared.
0:49:03 > 0:49:05- HOOTER BLOWS - Oh, no, oh, no!
0:49:11 > 0:49:15She really stood no chance against that wall of water.
0:49:15 > 0:49:20A terrible start for Kate. Swept away by the thundering cascades.
0:49:23 > 0:49:25And she now has to do it all over again.
0:49:25 > 0:49:27That has cost her a lot of time.
0:49:33 > 0:49:36Doing much better now, though. Come on, Kate.
0:49:42 > 0:49:45Now Kate reaches the Balance Beam.
0:49:45 > 0:49:46Come on, Kate.
0:49:47 > 0:49:51Her heart will be thumping, but she needs to steady her feet here.
0:49:51 > 0:49:54What's she doing? Shoelace undone?
0:49:54 > 0:49:57That's not balancing, that's crawling.
0:49:57 > 0:49:59She'll be walking funny for days.
0:49:59 > 0:50:02Now she's kind of shuffling along.
0:50:02 > 0:50:06This technique is going to cost Kate even more time.
0:50:06 > 0:50:08Come on!
0:50:14 > 0:50:17I think it would have been easier if you'd done it the normal way, Kate.
0:50:25 > 0:50:26She's cleared it.
0:50:26 > 0:50:27But look at that.
0:50:27 > 0:50:31Taking so much time she's been overtaken by the rubber ring.
0:50:31 > 0:50:33Come on!
0:50:33 > 0:50:35Waiting for the perfect moment.
0:50:35 > 0:50:39All in the timing, she's off.
0:50:39 > 0:50:41And ducking.
0:50:41 > 0:50:45Got to be fast now, that arm is coming back round.
0:50:45 > 0:50:47Go, go, go.
0:50:47 > 0:50:48Yes!
0:50:48 > 0:50:51The Tarzan Swing now. Kate can get back on track here.
0:50:54 > 0:50:57- Oh!- No. She just ended up getting back in the water.
0:50:57 > 0:51:00Loses her grip mid-swing.
0:51:00 > 0:51:02Yet another time delay for Ms Lawler.
0:51:07 > 0:51:10Nearly there now, Kate. A climb up on to the Turntable.
0:51:10 > 0:51:13And then one final jump to the Finish Podium.
0:51:16 > 0:51:18One last leap now.
0:51:19 > 0:51:22And Kate completes the Wipeout Zone in 5:18.
0:51:24 > 0:51:27With apparently some energy to spare.
0:51:31 > 0:51:34Kate's Wipeout Zone run quickly came unstuck on the Rapid Climb,
0:51:34 > 0:51:36and she never really recovered.
0:51:36 > 0:51:42A gritty effort, but the benchmark she's set could well be beaten.
0:51:42 > 0:51:45You got off to a slow start. What was going on?
0:51:45 > 0:51:47There was, like, water, and a wave.
0:51:47 > 0:51:49I've never seen anything like it.
0:51:49 > 0:51:52Did you see me keep...? Why didn't someone give me a nose peg?
0:51:52 > 0:51:55I tell you now, your time was five minutes and 18.
0:51:55 > 0:51:58Five minutes 18? Dave-istated.
0:51:58 > 0:52:00Absolutely dave-istated.
0:52:00 > 0:52:03But it is the time to beat, so at the moment you're in the lead.
0:52:03 > 0:52:05Well done. Next to run is Jeff.
0:52:05 > 0:52:07Let's watch.
0:52:07 > 0:52:08Jeff Brazier now.
0:52:08 > 0:52:10Five minutes 18 is the time to beat.
0:52:10 > 0:52:13Here we go. Come on, Jethro. Good lad.
0:52:13 > 0:52:15Yep, there he went.
0:52:17 > 0:52:20Wow! A 180 degree flip.
0:52:20 > 0:52:22A spectacular start.
0:52:22 > 0:52:25Hits the water hard.
0:52:26 > 0:52:29Straight into a swift front crawl to the Rapid Climb.
0:52:31 > 0:52:32For the celebrity edition,
0:52:32 > 0:52:35we've imported 10,000 gallons of mineral water.
0:52:35 > 0:52:37But it is still cold and wet.
0:52:37 > 0:52:40Ten second tidal wave countdown has begun.
0:52:40 > 0:52:45Can he reach the top before the torrents are unleashed? Come on!
0:52:47 > 0:52:51It looks like he's going to try and ride it out. Here it comes!
0:52:51 > 0:52:54And he's holding on for dear life.
0:52:54 > 0:52:55Survives the wave.
0:52:55 > 0:52:57Good effort, Jeff.
0:53:00 > 0:53:02He's cleared it. The Balance Beam next.
0:53:02 > 0:53:05Hopefully Jeff will walk on it, not shuffle along.
0:53:05 > 0:53:07On his posterior.
0:53:10 > 0:53:14This is more like it. Come on. Well ahead of Kate so far.
0:53:14 > 0:53:17Just needs to stay on that beam.
0:53:20 > 0:53:24Precarious. But stay on it he has.
0:53:24 > 0:53:28The Crazy Sweeper now. Kate defeated this obstacle in style.
0:53:28 > 0:53:30Can Jeff do the same?
0:53:31 > 0:53:33Picks his moment.
0:53:33 > 0:53:34And he sets off.
0:53:34 > 0:53:36Come on, quick.
0:53:36 > 0:53:38Quick, quick, quick, quick!
0:53:38 > 0:53:39Oh no!
0:53:41 > 0:53:44So much promise, but that arm was nowhere near Jeff.
0:53:44 > 0:53:47He just ducked out. That's going to cost him.
0:53:49 > 0:53:52Into the water, that means a swim and a painful climb.
0:53:52 > 0:53:56Seconds lost there, but this is still looking like a good time.
0:53:58 > 0:54:01The Tarzan Swing. Time to see if his grip is stronger than Kate's.
0:54:04 > 0:54:07He's away, great swing. And he's on to the turntable.
0:54:07 > 0:54:10Just one final push.
0:54:13 > 0:54:18Great finish. And an impressive time. 2:37.
0:54:18 > 0:54:22That was a strong run from Jeff. Slight delay on the Rapid Climb,
0:54:22 > 0:54:27and that voluntary swim on the Crazy Sweeper were the only things that slowed him down.
0:54:27 > 0:54:31Joe will have to do something pretty special if he's going to beat Jeff.
0:54:32 > 0:54:34- How are you doing, young man?- Good.
0:54:34 > 0:54:38I'm annoyed with myself for slipping off, I think I would have made it round.
0:54:38 > 0:54:40I did the rope well, stayed on there.
0:54:40 > 0:54:44I'm happy with some bits, not with others. But it'll all pan out.
0:54:44 > 0:54:47You were great, Jeff. But, Kate did a fantastic job tonight.
0:54:47 > 0:54:51There's a possibility we could have had a female champion,
0:54:51 > 0:54:53but, I'm afraid not, Kate. Jeff was faster.
0:54:53 > 0:54:56So I'm afraid you're going to have to go to join the others.
0:54:56 > 0:54:59Jeff, it means yours is the time to beat.
0:54:59 > 0:55:02In the lead so far, one guy to go. We'll see what happens.
0:55:02 > 0:55:03Time will tell. Let's watch.
0:55:04 > 0:55:05Good job, man.
0:55:10 > 0:55:14Joe's got his tough guy face on, and he's ready to go.
0:55:14 > 0:55:172:37 is a hard time to beat.
0:55:23 > 0:55:27Wow! That was fast. But he survived the impact.
0:55:27 > 0:55:28A quick swim to the Rapid Climb.
0:55:28 > 0:55:32Remember, Joe doesn't know how Jeff or Kate have done.
0:55:32 > 0:55:36All he can do is post the best time he can possibly manage.
0:55:39 > 0:55:42And he's up. Ten seconds starting now.
0:55:45 > 0:55:48But Joe's looking fast. He might even beat the wave.
0:55:48 > 0:55:53He has! This is a super fast start from Joe.
0:55:53 > 0:55:56OK, the Balance Beam now.
0:55:56 > 0:55:57He's on.
0:55:58 > 0:56:02And he's motoring across. Well, by Kate's standards, anyway.
0:56:03 > 0:56:04He's cleared it.
0:56:05 > 0:56:08The Crazy Sweeper is where Jeff's most costly error came.
0:56:08 > 0:56:11A slip from Joe here and this could be a very close finish.
0:56:11 > 0:56:16Oh no, he has slipped! But he's back on his feet and sprinting.
0:56:16 > 0:56:19Now jumping across the podiums, that arm is coming back,
0:56:19 > 0:56:21but this is superb stuff from Joe.
0:56:21 > 0:56:23A flawless run so far.
0:56:23 > 0:56:25Two obstacles left.
0:56:25 > 0:56:28Joe is looking like a winner.
0:56:28 > 0:56:30Oh no, the first mistake from Joe!
0:56:30 > 0:56:32His grip seemed to slip.
0:56:32 > 0:56:36And rather than slam into the turntable, he abandoned the rope.
0:56:38 > 0:56:40So it's up the ladder for Joe now.
0:56:40 > 0:56:42Where is the ladder? Here it comes.
0:56:46 > 0:56:50Despite his late error, Joe's time is very fast. A final jump now.
0:56:50 > 0:56:53Joe comes home in one minute 37 seconds.
0:56:53 > 0:56:56An awesome time by anyone's standards.
0:56:56 > 0:56:59Be they celebrity or mere mortal.
0:56:59 > 0:57:03A brilliant run from Joe has won him the title of Celebrity Total Wipeout Champion.
0:57:03 > 0:57:05But he doesn't know it yet,
0:57:05 > 0:57:09so it's time for Amanda to break a celebrity exclusive.
0:57:09 > 0:57:13Joe, Joe, Joe. How are you feeling?
0:57:13 > 0:57:15- Good. Real good.- Yeah? - Pleased, yeah.
0:57:15 > 0:57:19I've got to tell you, Jeff was absolutely brilliant out there.
0:57:19 > 0:57:21You two have been fantastic all day.
0:57:21 > 0:57:24Joe, you've seemed really calm, cool and collected.
0:57:24 > 0:57:28And that has just got you the title of Total Wipeout Champion.
0:57:28 > 0:57:30- You're the winner.- Yes!
0:57:30 > 0:57:32Woo!
0:57:32 > 0:57:37So actor Joe Absolom is tonight's Total Wipeout Celebrity Champion.
0:57:37 > 0:57:41Along with that highly sought-after trophy, Joe also wins £10,000
0:57:41 > 0:57:44for the Dame Hannah Rogers Trust in Plymouth.
0:57:44 > 0:57:47If one celebrity special wasn't enough,
0:57:47 > 0:57:48then boy, do we have a show
0:57:48 > 0:57:52that's pretty much exactly the same as this one for you next time.
0:57:52 > 0:57:53There will be some of this.
0:57:55 > 0:57:56And quite a bit of this.
0:57:58 > 0:58:01From me and Amanda, it's a celebrity special goodbye.
