APPLAUSE
Appearing tonight
on Blankety Blank is...
Please welcome your host,
yes, it's me, Bradley Walsh.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Whoo!
Thank you very much. Thank you so much.
Hello and welcome to Blankety Blank.
Now, if you're under 30,
this is the only place in your lifetime you'll see a cheque book.
It's as simple as that.
Let's meet the gang.
Hello, celebrities! ALL: Hello!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Now, Glo, you must have done Blank back in the day, surely?
I did them all. I mean, Terry, my old grandfather,
he was the first one, of course. Yes, of course.
With the long stick microphone, etc. Then, this may not be in order,
then Les Dawson came along...Yeah.
and then we had, of course, Lily Savage.
Yes, of course! Who actually was brilliant at it.
And now we're being done by you. Yeah. Which is great.
LAUGHTER
Gloria Hunniford says she's being done by me. It's quite nice, that.
Can I just say something?
When they phoned me and said, "Do you want to do a show?
"It's a legendary show.
"You probably wouldn't know it because of your age."
Then they said it was Blankety Blank
and I was vexed because I did know it because of my age, so...
LAUGHTER
All right, please thank our celebrities.
Welcome, welcome, every single one of you.
Lovely to see you.
And on that, let's bring out tonight's first pair
of Blankety Blankers who want to play Blankety Blank.
Bring them on, everyone.
# Blankety Blank, Blankety Blank
# Blankety Blank, Blankety Blank, Blankety Blank. #
Hey!
Wow.
Sylvia and Ella.
Yes.Welcome.
Sylvia, tell us where you're from. What do you do?
I'm from Walthamstow.
I'm retired, but I work in an antique shop at weekends.OK.
If you were to win a prize on Blankety Blank, any prize... Yes.
..any prize that you'd want, that you really need,
what would it be, Sylvia?
My television has gone on the blink and I need a new lawnmower.
LAUGHTER
But other than that,
it would be nice to have a really nice, hot holiday.
Make your mind up, Sylvia.
Do you want a lawnmower, telly or holiday? We haven't got time.
We've got to rush out to a shop and buy one for you.
I wish you luck with all those. You're not going to get them, so I wish you luck. OK.
Thank you.All right, thank you.
Ella, welcome to the show. Lovely to meet you.
What do you do? Where are you from? So, I'm from Essex.
Yes. I'm a part-time finance analyst.
Oh, wow! Hello.
AUDIENCE OOHS
So I look at the big bucks on millionaires
and then look
at my own bank and cry.
LAUGHTER
Got any hobbies? Oh, I've got a few.
I like to go out to brunch with my girls. Have a few bevvies.
Yeah. But also...
I'm not sure that's a hobby.
OK, here we go.
Let's start playing Blankety Blank.
Sylvia, you're going to go first.
Some questions are tougher than the others.
What do you want? A or B?
A. A it is.
Celebrities, get ready. Here we go.
Pens and cards at the ready. Ooh!
All you've got to do is match the missing blank
with our celebrities.
The one with the most matches plays the Supermatch game,
where the top prize is best described as,
"Have you kept the receipt?"
On offer tonight is a Wi-Fi-enabled washing machine.
ALL: Ooh!
Does it come with a lawnmower, Brad?No!
We're throwing in a Wi-Fi-enabled tumble dryer.
ALL: Ooh!
Exactly! How will that work? What is the point? What fresh heaven is this?
Wait, wait! Is it Wi-Fi-enabled Wi-Fi?
Wait!
More to the point, you get a dryer and heated clothes rail.
That isn't Wi-Fi. Oh.
No, forget it.
What happens if you haven't got Wi-Fi?
What's next? It is unenabled.
Nobody wants an unenabled tumble dryer, Brad.
Don't give that to people. It's not a prize.
It's not my fault! I didn't go and buy them.
You're just the messenger! I told you, keep the receipt.
All right. You can then go on to the grand final
for an even bigger prize, which I will reveal later on.
ALL: Oh!
That's teasing me. Now you're teasing me.
Sylvia, you're first. Don't forget.
Here we go. Celebs, get ready.
Do you know what? I think my doctor used to work
in a hardware store.
Yesterday, he suggested removing my appendix with a blank.
That's it. The celebs can all write down as well, so you get stuck in.
My doctor used to work in a hardware store, gang,
cos yesterday he suggested removing my appendix with a blank.
Be careful, because the others will look over the back and see what you've put.
Put your lights on for me. Press your buttons. Light up. Thanks, everybody.
Excellent. Right. We're all lit up. Here we go.
Sylvia, I think my doctor used to work in a hardware store.
You know why? Because yesterday he suggested removing my appendix
with a blank.
Now, Thomo, here we go.
I've gone for screwdriver. Screwdriver.
Because it's a bleeding edge.
I feel that the pliers is a little bit medieval and barbaric. It is.
Karim. Yeah.Go.
Why would you take him out with a spanner?
That's weird. OK. Doesn't matter.
Right, here we go. Perky.
Listen, if you're going to take out an appendix, Sylvia's right.
Get the pliers on.
Pliers! One!
APPLAUSE
Joel. Oh, I panicked. I realised I haven't been
in a hardware store for a long time, look at me, and I just...
Too damn pretty. I panicked.
I said nail. That's a brutal way to take out an appendix, mate.
Yeah. It's random. It is. Stabby.
Yeah, yeah. Glo, what have you got?
Sylvia, I love you, and you're going to love me.
Oh, wow!2-0 up.
Well, look, I was thinking on a wider scale,
so I put tool, yeah.
That covers it, really doesn't it?
It's... It's a tool.
Pliers is a tool, isn't it? It's a tool.No points for that.
At the moment, Sylvia has two,
but don't worry, it's early days yet,
so no problem at all.
Ella, we go on to you. You get B.
Set B. Fab.Here we go.
Celebs, Ella, I was a cheeky chappy in school.
Always messing around.
What I got into trouble for the most was
I used to blank in...in class.
LAUGHTER
Oh, dear.Blank in class.
Did you say blanking class? Blank...
You're watching BBC One.
I don't see these. This is the first time I see them.
You can tell, can't you?
Is this a question or a confession? I'm not...
Don't forget, put your lights on when you're done.
Yeah.Well done. OK, cool. But here we go. Ella.
I was a cheeky chappy in school, Ella, right.
Always messing around.
What I got into trouble for the most was I used to blank in class.
I put that. Oh!
That's a good one.A fart.
It's the hallmark of a cheeky chap. Exactly.
Common knowledge. You know it.
Here we go. OK. We're looking for fart.
I was a cheeky chappy. I didn't know what else!JT.
Well, I think Ella's really brought the tone of the show down
quite considerably, really.
I can't believe what you've put,
because I put exactly the same thing.
CHEERING
OK, Karim, what have you put?
I put...
Talk. Perky, what've you got?
I just said...
Joel Dommett, what have you got?
ELLA: Come on, Joel.
I'm starting to think I'm not on anyone's wavelength.Really?
I went with...
Glo, what have you got? I have put...
Wow.
Not once did I get told off for weeing in class, ever.
LAUGHTER
Judi, what have you got?
I am so upset.
Because I actually first seriously
wrote fart.
I crossed it out and wrote talk.
And then you tried to cheat and wrote fart again.
Not necessarily cheat.
I was just showing you that we connected.
Yeah, yeah, I sort of get that, but talk is a no score.
So, at the moment, it's 2-1 to Sylvia.
APPLAUSE
All right, which means Ella,
you go first.
A or B, Ella?
A, please.A it is, darling. Thank you very much.Here we go.
You can play with everyone except John Thomson,
because you matched up last time.
OK, here we go.
Ella, I regret asking Willy Wonka to build my new extension.
He used gobstoppers for door handles, marzipan for cement
and the bricks were made out of blank.
JT has to sit this out.
Only Karim, Sue, Joel, Glo and Judi in this.
So, there you go.
And the bricks were made out of blank.
Could you put your lights on,
those of you that have got an answer, please?
Thank you so much.
All right, here we go, now. See how we get on, Ella. Come on.
I totally regret asking Willy Wonka to build my new extension.
He used gobstoppers for door handles,
marzipan for cement, and the bricks were made up of...
Chocolate! Yes!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
You say chocolate.
Karim.
Chocolate!
Sue.
Chocolate!Chocolate! Whoo!
Joel.
I said chocolate!
I almost wrote biscuits.
Almost wrote biscuits, but changed it to chocolate. Glo.
Ella.Chocolate!
Great! Yeah.
Oh, now, another chocolate. Judi.
Sweet, like you, Ella.
Chocolate! Oh, well, now, then.
Wow. OK.
I got a full house!
Now, then, you've got six.
You need four to tie, to go into a tie-breaker, Sylvia.
Oh, God.OK, don't forget, just like Ella, now,
you got two last time, which means you cannot play
with Sue and Glo.
Here we go, Sylvia. Good luck.
Grandad cannot stand the cold weather.
It's not unusual for him to leave the house
wearing three pairs of blank.
Don't forget, you can't play alongside Sue and Glo.
Only Judi, Joel, Karim and John.
What have you got, Judi?
I'm not allowed to show you, Sue. You can! Sue's not playing this one.
I'm not playing, darling. Oh, OK.
It's specific, but solid.
Lights up when you guys have got your answers for me, please.
Thank you so much. All right, there we are.
Four to tie.
So, Sylvia, Grandad can't stand the cold weather.
It's not unusual for him to leave the house wearing three pairs of...
Come on.
Long johns.
That's a terrific answer, I've got to say.
I'm going to JT first.
If he's got... If he hasn't got long johns,
sadly you're out. OK, JT.
Gloves. Oh!
No score.
Which means, of course,
Ella is our winner.
Ella, come and join me for the Supermatch.
That's it. Come on, Ella. On you come, girl. That's it.
Right there for me. Thank you very much indeed.
Welcome, welcome, welcome. You are now in the Supermatch.
Sadly, we've got to say goodbye to Sylvia.
We loved having you on the show. Thank you.
You don't go away empty-handed. No.
You take away the legendary
Blankety Blank cheque book and pen, everyone! Ooh!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Give it up for Sylvia!
Whoo!
# Supermatch game, Supermatch game, Supermatch game
# Supermatch game! #
Wow. Sue, what's it called?
I didn't catch the end. It's something to do with a game.
LAUGHTER
All right.
We asked members of the public to fill in the blank
to a two-word phrase.
If you match one of the three top answers, you'll win a prize.
Have a look at this.
The third most popular answer wins you £500.
Second answer wins you 750 quid,
and the top answer wins you our Supermatch top prize,
this Wi-Fi-enabled washing machine,
Wi-Fi-enabled tumble dryer
and a heated clothes rail.
OK, now listen, Ella, to make things easy for you,
you can ask three of our celebrities for suggestions
on what, you know, the blank is.
Let's have a look at the Supermatch. Here we go. It is...
Got it! Oh!Me too, straight away. I've got it.
I've got it!Blank keeper. Yeah.All right.
You can ask three of the celebs, take their suggestions or have one of your own.
Who do you want to play with first? Sue.Sue. Right. What do you think?
Blank keeper.
Goal.Yes, I would have said that.
Oh.OK. Next one.
Joel.OK, here we go.
Shop. Nice. Perky says goal. Joel says shop.
Karim.Karim.
Bee.
Beekeeper. Beekeeper. Is it?
Right, well, listen, you can have...
You can have the suggestions which are bee, shop and goal,
or you can have one on your own. Hmm.
I'm going to go with shop. You're going to go with shop?
Yeah.We're going with shop, everyone. I'll go with shop. Yes!
That makes me look well cool.
OK. If I lose, it's on your head.
Damn it!
OK. Third most popular answer, for 500 quid, Ella, is...
Beekeeper! Yes!
OK, all right.
Hey! That's it!
Second most popular answer, for 750 quid, let's do it.
Here we go.
Goalkeeper!
AUDIENCE OOHS
Joel. Ooh!Come on, Joel!
Come on, Joel!Come on, Joel.
Oh, oh, oh!
No pressure, no pressure. This is incredible.
If this is shop, you win all that useless stuff.
You know, where you live, have you got Wi-Fi?
Well, funnily enough, I have, but it ain't great.
So, basically,
your dryer's going to be buffering.
Are my knickers ready yet? Not...not...not...not...not.
Here we go.
Top answer is...
ALL: Oh!
Oh! Joel, give her some money.
Exactly!
Sadly, you haven't won the Supermatch, but that's not the end
of the show for you. You know why?
Because you go through to play the head-to-head,
maybe get to the final, which is an even better prize.
Can there be a better prize than the Wi-Fi-enabled stuff?
Hard to say.
It's so hard to say.
It's so hard. It's exhausting!
OK, but we'll see you in a minute when you go for the head-to-head.
All right, Ella, everyone!
# Blankety Blank, Blankety Blank, Blankety Blank! #
There we go. That's it.
Well, you know what it is now?
It's time to bring on our next pair of Blankety Blankers.
Let's go!
# Blankety Blank, Blankety Blank
# Blankety Blank, Blankety Blank, Blankety Blank
# Blankety Blank! #
Whoo!Welcome to you, both, Gloria and Philip.
We'll speak to you in a moment, Philip. Let's speak to Gloria.
What do you do for a living, Gloria? Where are you from?
I'm from Cambridgeshire, March, in Cambridge,
and I'm a fitness instructor.
How long have you been fitness instructorising?
About ten years. And how has that gone?
Well, it's been difficult over the last 16 months,
but, yeah, up and down.
Up and down is pretty much your core business though, isn't it?
I wish you luck during the show. OK, Philip, welcome to the show.
Thanks, Bradley, lass. Tell me, Philip, where are you from?
Liverpool.Liverpool. And what do you do for a living?
Well, I'm a cook. In what? Like a hotel or restaurant?
Oh, yeah, I wish. No, I work for the homeless.
Oh, right! Oh, lovely. That's great.
APPLAUSE
Oh, brilliant. Great, well done.
OK.
Have you got any hobbies yourself?
Oh, I've got a lot of hobbies. I like the bingo.Do you? Yes!
Can I tell you something, Philip?
Judi has just said, "Oh, I do love a Liverpool guy."
I love a Liverpudlian accent.
So, would she have a chance with you, Philip?
Well, she might be barking up the wrong tree,
but I don't know what counts as attraction.
Now, then, don't forget, if you get through this round, guys,
you go through to the Supermatch,
where you play for an amazing prize.
I like to describe it as...
# Tat-a-ty tat, tat-a-ty tat, tat-tat. #
It's an electrical. You're going to love this.
Oh, hello. Here we go. An electric folding bike.
It's the stuff dreams are made!
AUDIENCE OOHS
There's even a bigger prize to come at the end of the show.
I wish you both luck. Welcome to the show.
Gloria and Philip, everyone. Thank you.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
All right.
Now, Gloria, you get to go first.
Choose between A or B. What would you like?
B, please.Celebs, get ready.
Here we go.
You can tell our postman used to be a baker.
The other day, he popped a blank through our letterbox.
A blank through our letterbox.
He was a baker, the lad.
I'm confused.
Good. OK. Now, then, here we go.
Lights on, please, when you've got the answers for me. Thank you.
Cheers, Joel. Here we go, team.
You can tell our postman, Gloria, used to be a baker.
The other day, he popped a blank through our letterbox.
Bread roll.
JT, you can tell our postman used to be a baker.
The other day, he popped a blank through our letterbox.
Cake.
Just cake.Bad luck.
Karim?
So, I went for...a bun.
Just a bun. All right, Sue, what you got?
There's only one baked good worth putting through a letterbox.
Go on. It's a baguette.A baguette.
Joel, what you got?
Very similar to the old Perky.
I went French stick.French stick.
Glo?
The thing is, Bradley, in Ireland, we call a doughnut a bread roll.
So I had doughnut.Doughnut.
Judi Love, last one up. I think I should get a point for this one.
Go. Bread.
Bread. We would've taken roll, but not bread.
Wow.Wow. It's a tough show, right? It's savage, isn't it?
Tough love, Gloria.
Don't worry, you can make it up in the second half of this round.
Philip, down to you. Here we go. Here we go. We move to A.
Everyone, "I felt like I was on fire after the curry I ate last night.
"I was so hot, I had to put my blank in the fridge."
AUDIENCE LAUGH
Easy now.
Yeah, I don't think it's... Yeah.
Oh, I see. I think...I got it.
I've had to be quite careful here. I'm not going to be rude.
Oh, good. Good, good, good, good. I've kept it the right side.
Good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good.
I'm changing it.
Ooh. Once you've...
Once you've settled on an answer, you must put your lights on.
AUDIENCE: Ooh!
APPLAUSE
OK, Philip, here we go. You ready? Go on.
"I felt I was on fire after the curry I ate last night." Oh, my goodness.
"I was so hot, I put my blank in the fridge."
Philip? Foot!
LAUGHTER
Foot!
That's exactly what I find. If I've eaten a curry,
that's the first thing I'd have thought of.
I've eaten this curry, it's so hot, I'm going to put my foot right in that fridge.
SUE: It goes... You eat the chilli, immediately it goes to your foot.
"I felt like I was on fire after the curry I ate last night." JT?
"I was so hot, I had to put my blank in the fridge."
Philip, I think you've put your foot in it.
I thought... Cos you perspire, don't you?
Yeah. Put your head in.
Head. Karim?
It burns the mouth, you put your mouth in the fridge.
Mouth, I understand. Yeah, OK.
Sue? I put my head in.
Head, OK.
Joel Dommett. Now, then...
CHUCKLING
Here we go.
Good luck with this.
I think I've finally found someone on my level.
LAUGHING
Oh, my God!
I put feet.No!
APPLAUSE
Someone on my level.
Just imagine you two on a night out...
..curry, and in the morning, "Come on, get out the way of that fridge,
"I've got to get me foot in there."
Glo?
Well, the thing is, Philip, you have to take your trousers off
in order to put your foot in it.
Trousers. Good answer, but not right.
There's kind of a link.
Come on, Judi, what you got?
I put tongue.
Yeah! Great answer.
Great answer, but not right.
Not on the same wavelength as Philip.
OK, at the moment...
..one to Philip, none to Gloria.
You're behind, Gloria, means you go first next round. A or B?
Oh, A.A.
OK, celebs, up again.
Here we go. Let's go.
Now, here's the thing, Gloria,
you can actually play with everyone.
I wish you luck, Gloria.
Here is a Blankety Blank limerick for you.
Oh, dear. Oh, God.
"This morning, I nipped to the shops to try on some jeans and a top.
"Though I picked up my size, to my utter surprise,
"when I did up the buttons, they went blank."
Oh, OK.
Joel. Put your light on, Joel. Sorry!
Light on. Light on. Light's on. Light on.
Here we go.
Lovely, lovely Limerick for you, Glo.
"This morning, I nipped to the shops to try and some jeans and a top,
"though I picked up my size, to my utter surprise,
"when I did up the buttons, they went..."
Pop.
Pop!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
JT, "When I did up the buttons, they went..."
Pop! Yeah!
Karim?
Pop!
Perky?
Pop.
Joel?
Pop!
Gloria? Pop.
Judi? Pop.
APPLAUSE
And now, all of a sudden, you have a full house.
Now, Philip, you cannot play with Joel Dommett, all right?
You need another five to take it to a tie-break.
"Golfer Tiger Woods had a terrible toothache,
"so he went to the dentist.
"Turns out he had a blank in one."
"Golfer Tiger Woods had a terrible toothache, so he went to the dentist.
"Turns out he had a blank in one."
JUDI: I mean, honestly, if we don't get this...
Yeah.Should be getting five out here. Should be all five.
Surely.Surely.
Lights on, lights on. OK, here we go.
Philip, "Golfer Tiger Woods had a terrible toothache, so he went to the dentist.
"Turns out he had a blank in one hole in one."
Hole in one.
Yes.Hole in one!
JT?
Hole in one.
Karim?
Hole!
Perky?
Glo? Hole.
Judi?
CHEERING
All right, we're back in the game. This is a tie breaker.
ALL: Ooh!
We have a tie-breaker situation.
Wow, this is great. I love tie-breakers.
This is what we're going to do, right.
Now, I'm going to give you a common phrase that has a missing blank.
You both need to write it down, but don't show me.
Just write it down. OK?
I will then ask the celebrities the same statement
with the missing blank, all right.
I then go along the line to JT, Karim, Sue, and all the way along,
and the first person that matches with one of our celebrities,
hold up your card, and you go through to the supermatch.
Is that understood? Yeah. Yeah. I wish you luck.
Here it is.
Ooh!
Wow. Actually, this is tricky.
"Blank...pie."
P-I-E. "Blank pie."
"Blank pie."
All you got to do is write down the one word, celebs.
Thank you very much. Lights on when you're done, please, celebs.
So, first one to match. Here we go.
"Blank pie," that's what we're looking for. Here we go. JT?
"Blank pie."
Humble. No.
Karim?
Apple.Apple. No.
Really? What? Really?
Unbelievable. Perky?
Apple. No.
Joel?
Apple.Apple. Apple pie, bruv!
Glo? Apple.Apple.
Judi? Steak.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
As soon as you think of a pie, yeah, I think of steak.
I think of steak pie... You're right, Judi.
..gravy, mashed potato.
Here we go. Out of interest, Philip, why did you put?
Pork.Pork.
Unbelievable. You've been fabulous, Philip.
But, nonetheless... Thank you. You have.
..to go through to the supermatch, it's Gloria. Come on, Gloria.
APPLAUSE
Philip, thank you. Lovely meeting you. Thanks, Bradley.
You've been absolutely brilliant. Thanks, everyone.
Give my love to everyone up in Liverpool. Thank you.
But you're going home, not empty-handed. Oh, can't wait.
The Blankety Blank cheque book and pen is all yours. Thanks very much.
APPLAUSE
JUDI: I mean, I feel like I'm on a roll here.
But I don't want to peak too early. You know what I mean?
JOEL: What kind of roll, though? A bread roll?
Unbelievable. Listen, it's done. You're through to the supermatch.
It's as simple as that. Are you ready?
Yeah.How exciting is it?
We gave members of the public the two-word phrase and asked them to fill in the blank.
If you manage to match one of the three most popular answers,
you will win a prize. Have a look at this.
The third most popular prize wins you £500.
Second most popular wins you 750 quid.
Top prize wins you an electric foldable bike, complete with helmet,
knee and elbow pads, and a bell.
All right, here we go.
And don't forget, you can ask members of the celebs to give you help. Only three, of course.
OK, let's reveal the supermatch.
Here we go.
It is bus blank.
Bus blank.
So, now, who would you like to help you, Gloria?
Judi.
Stop.Bus stop.
Sue.Sue. I would say bus... Bus lane.
And I have to go with a fellow Glo.
I did have stop to begin with, but obviously Judi got that.
I just put ticket. Mm. Oh, very good.
Yeah, we have stop, we have lane, and we have ticket.
Or you can choose one of your own. What do you like?
Lane is good, but I was going to go with stop.Stop.
Let us, for £500, reveal the third most popular answer.
Is it bus...
..station. Ooh. We never got that.
For 750 quid, bus...
..driver!
GLORIA GASPS
OK, top answer to win the electric bike, the helmet, the knee pads,
and the bell. You said stop, right? Yeah.
Top answer is...
CHEERING
CHANTING: Judi!
I mean, I tell you what, I need a steak pie.
On fire at the moment.
Congratulations, Gloria, you're in the head-to-head
to go on to the grand final.
Let's bring back Ella, everyone.
Come on.
# Blankety Blank, Blankety Blank
# Blankety Blank, Blankety Blank! #
ELLA: Did you miss me?
Welcome back, Ella. Take a seat, Gloria.
Now, then, here we come to the sharp end of the show.
One of you is going through to the final
to play for an unbelievable prize, all right.
I'm going to give you both the same two-word phrase.
I'm going to ask you to just fill in the blanks.
That's all you've got to do, all right.
This time, I want you to just write it down,
and then keep it to yourself.
I'll then ask the same blank to the celebrities.
The first one of you to match one of our celebrities,
once I go down the line, you're through to the grand final
to win this massive Blankety Blank prize.
It's the ultimate home entertainment set up.
State-of-the-art gaming console,
not one, but two leather recliner chairs,
a year's streaming service subscription,
and an ultra HD smart TV to watch it on.
Plus, a slushy maker with mini fridge to help you keep your cool.
APPLAUSE
All right, so I wish you luck.
All you've got to do is write this down, keep it yourself.
Gloria, Ella, you ready? Yep, let's go.Here we go.
Good luck to the pair of you. I wish you well.
OK, gang,
blank...
..dancing.
Blank dancing.
OK? I think that's tricky.
When you've got your answer, celebs, put your lights on for me, please.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
That's unbelievable!
What are you doing?
I don't know, it just comes from within me!
You're on fire so much, you need to put your feet in the fridge!
Unbelievable.
That is amazing.
I'm sad to lose you, Gloria,
but, Ella, you're in the grand final.
Give it up for Ella, everyone.
That's it, Ella. Terrific, Ella. Well done.
Brilliant.
Got to say unlucky to Gloria, but guess what?
You still go away with a foldable electric bike, plus helmet and bell,
and of course the Blankety Blank chequebook and pen.
Gloria, everyone!

What about that, everyone? Isn't it sensational?
That's a negative.

The way it works, by the way, is this...
You're are going to pick one, and only one,
celebrity to play along with.
I'm then going to ask you the same question.
If your answer matches, you're going home with that prize.
All right. Yeah.Are we ready?
Yeah.Moody lighting, please.
Ooh. Good luck, Ella.
Good luck, lovely.Here it is.
OK, now turn and face the celebs,

Come into my mind.
Vibes. Vibes. The vibes going.
Pure vibes. Energy.Here we go. Telepathy. Come on, Judes.
I'm going to tell you what it is.
You just write it down, Judi, and keep hold of it.
All right? And you do not let us see it until I tell you.
Once you know it, keep it in your head, don't say it out loud.
Good luck, I wish you luck.

Tough one. Where did cut-out come from?!
Tough one. I don't know, babes. I don't know.
Cardboard cut-out, I see where you're going with that, though.
Well, sadly, Ella, it's not a match, but not to worry
because you'll still be taking home
a Blankety Blank cheque book and pen.

and it's been an absolute delight.
