08:11I always had music, but did go to circus school.
08:13OK.
08:14I trained as a clown because I'm ridiculously clumsy,

09:51Exactly.
09:52Here for the win.
09:52Are you competitive then?
09:53Very competitive, actually.
09:55Where does that fighting spirit come from then?
09:57So, it's actually from my health condition.
10:00So, I've got an ostomy bag.
10:01Oh, right.
10:02Yeah, so, I've had it since I was 17.
10:05I had my large intestine removed.
10:07Yeah.
10:07I always use that as like an icebreaker and it just throws everyone out.
10:11But, I just try and basically raise more awareness of it.
10:14Of course.
10:14Because when I was in that position, I didn't actually know much about it.
10:17Yeah.
10:17And there wasn't many people that looked like me that had one.
10:20Of course.
10:20So, I basically use my social platforms like TikTok, Instagram,
10:24to basically raise awareness and obviously speak about it.
10:27Because I think it's important.
10:28It really is important.
10:30And I think that's where social media becomes a positive force for good.
10:34Yeah.
10:34Oh, how fantastic.
10:35Good for you.
10:36Thank you so much.
10:37Who is cheering you on from home?
10:39So, I've actually got a massive family, but my childhood sweetheart,
10:43my husband, Raheel, he has told me if I don't win, don't come home.
10:47Okay.
10:48So, no pleasure.
10:49Classic.

10:51All we need to do is get your five correct answers in our picture round.

12:17What do they need to know?
12:19Starting with lane one, our players will be asked questions in order down the line.
12:25Get an answer right and their podium will start moving.
12:28But if they take too long to answer, pass or get one wrong at any point, they'll immediately stop in
12:35their tracks.
12:36When players are close to the end of the track, their lanes will become supercharged to tell them they're in
12:42the end zone and approaching the finish line.
12:44The player who doesn't reach the finish line is out.
12:50There you go. It's as easy as that. Just don't come last.

30:36You are at the moment, anyway.
30:39Paula, who is the one to beat?

30:46Very, very, you know.
30:47Yeah.
30:47Well, she won both races so far.

31:11Yeah.
31:12Fantastic.
31:12Okay, pairs round.

32:38She's thrown and swallowed knives and fire and God knows what.
32:41Yeah.
32:42I mean, this is nothing, right?
32:43But are you impressed by your own performance so far?
32:45Yeah, I'm doing better than I thought.
32:46Yeah?
32:47Well, imagine you beat the track today.

40:23Well done, Alistair.
40:24You're through to the final to play for £5,000.
40:28How do you feel?

40:51Alistair, you are today's winner.
40:52You're now going to be playing for £5,000.
40:56But listen very carefully to Sarah Green.
40:58To win that £5,000, all Alistair has to do is to make it to the finish line one final
41:04time.
41:04But with a twist.
41:06Because he'll be racing against the track itself.

41:22But if Alistair gets caught, it's game over.
41:28Alistair, this is it.
41:30You want that dream Star Wars trip to Tunisia.

41:37Let's see, though, if you can go the distance.
41:40The track will start moving when I finish reading the first question.
41:45£5,000 waiting for you right here on the finish line.
41:50My one bit of advice, you know what it is?
41:52Don't look back.
41:53That's it.
41:54Alistair, we're all with you.
41:56Come on, let's do this for the final time.
41:59Best of luck.
