00:11Well, hello and welcome to your Thursday One show.
00:14We are live on BBC One and iPlayer with Angelica Bell and Clara Ampho.
00:19And as we prepare for the Big Bank holiday weekend, we have got lots of treats in store,
00:23including four of the UK's best loved entertainers.
00:26Oh yes, Anton Deck will be here ahead of the return of the I'm a Celebrity spin-off show
00:31that swaps the Australian jungle that we all know and love for the South African sunshine.
00:35They're going to be talking about all the drama as well as their golden buzzer moment
00:40from last weekend's Britain's Got Talent.
00:42And joining them on the sofa is comedian Bill Bailey as he teams up with Kaiser Chiefs frontman
00:47Ricky Wilson to celebrate everyday heroes and their incredible stories through the power of art.
00:52Plus, we are celebrating another hero in tonight's One Big Thank You
00:56as we surprise Jack from Gateshead.
00:59So Jack is a remarkable 17-year-old who's raised thousands for charity.
01:03And later on, we're going to see the moment Jack, who's also a massive Paddington fan,
01:07meeting one of the film's stars, Madeleine Harris, aka Judy Brown.
01:11So lots coming up.
01:12But first, whether it's buying Easter eggs or stocking up on the things for the garden,
01:17many of us will be heading to the shops over the bank holiday.
01:19That's right.
01:20And in our latest series, where we chat to people at the supermarket checkout,
01:23Danny Dyer, the girl one, not the boy one, but we love them equally,
01:27have been to meet customers in Essex to find out what is in their trolleys.
01:33Spring is in the air and I want to see how we're shaping up for shoppers at my local Aldi
01:37in Chingford.
01:39So I'm turning up for a shift on the checkout.
01:42Exciting!
01:44My supervisor for the day is Avidia.
01:46I have never done anything like this before.
01:49How does it move?
01:51It's automatically, yeah.
01:53Oh, great.
01:55After a shaky start, I'm getting the hang of things and ready for my first customer.
01:59Hello!
02:00Hello!
02:01How are you?
02:02We're good, thank you.
02:05All right.
02:06Maybe I spoke too soon.
02:08Oh, God, I don't want the invoice if I break that.
02:10There we go.
02:11Are you ready for Easter?
02:14Get in there.
02:15Get in there.
02:15With Easter around the corner, customers are stocking up on their chocolate treats.
02:19How many eggs do you have to buy?
02:21Like, do you buy for the whole family?
02:23No, I just buy for kids.
02:24Oh, no.
02:25I've had to tell so many people to stop buying me eggs.
02:28What do you do on Easter?
02:30So, this year, I'll be doing the Easter egg hunt, because I've got all the kids.
02:34Yeah, I love an Easter egg hunt.
02:35It's just fun for the kids.
02:36I'd like to find them straight away.
02:37They just love it, don't they?
02:38Like, all of that.
02:39Oh, do I ask for an ID?
02:40Yeah.
02:41I've got it.
02:41Can I have your ID, please, babe?
02:43I quite like being ID'd.
02:45I do as well, to be fair.
02:4726?
02:48I can't see it.
02:49My eyes are so bad.
02:51You are definitely of age.
02:53Yeah.
02:53There we go.
02:55You've got a lot of yoghurt going on, haven't you?
02:57Yeah, I know.
02:58Is this for your overnight oats?
03:00No, it's for the Greek yoghurt for the overnight oats.
03:02Right, the Greek yoghurt for the overnight oats.
03:04There we go.
03:04Do you have roast dinners, or do you turn your nose up?
03:08No, no, lamb.
03:09Lamb.
03:09Roast lamb.
03:10Lamb.
03:10Yeah, it's traditional, really.
03:12People love a bit of lamb, don't they?
03:13Yeah, I know.
03:13Too much talking has meant that this customer has mixed his frozen food with his store cupboard staples.
03:19Got all my freezer stuff in one.
03:20Yeah, I know.
03:21I'm so sorry.
03:22I've completely discombobulated you.
03:24You have.
03:25I learned that word recently, and I'm really proud of it.
03:26Well done.
03:27Some traditions are age old.
03:30Oh, I love this.
03:31Are you making that?
03:32Yeah, for Easter bonnet day.
03:34Oh, would you have that at school?
03:35Yeah.
03:36Oh, my God, I'll get really competitive with things like that.
03:38It is about taking part, though.
03:40Do you like the bit of spring cleaning?
03:42Oh, yeah, I love it.
03:43I do.
03:44Yeah.
03:44And now that the sun's out, it makes it so much easier.
03:47We're finally getting there.
03:47It's took so long.
03:49Yeah.
03:49Did your bedroom today?
03:50Do you do, like, Easter decorations and that?
03:53Yeah.
03:54It's like an Easter table.
03:55Yeah, I do that.
03:56Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:56Every time I fill up my jar with mini eggs, they all go.
03:59Oh, yeah, of course.
04:00Like, I'm like, no, these are for guests.
04:02Oh, no, they're not.
04:03As the lighter evenings are coming in, more people are getting outside.
04:07I came for the Middle Isle.
04:09I do love a Middle Isle purchase.
04:11Are you going camping by any chance?
04:14I am, I am.
04:16Do you go camping a lot?
04:17When I was younger with my family, but we're trying to start the tradition again this year.
04:21I love that.
04:23Plant-based deliciousness.
04:25Are you vegan?
04:26No.
04:26Oh.
04:27But it's good to try different recipes.
04:31Are you getting ready for spring?
04:34Yeah, I was supposed to.
04:35Throwing everything in the garden at the moment, if you can.
04:37Do you do a bit of gardening?
04:39Yeah, I've got my tampons.
04:40I put all my lights out at the moment.
04:42Getting all my solar lights.
04:43It looks like black pool illuminations.
04:45Oh, I love it.
04:46I'm so bad at gardening.
04:47Like, gardening.
04:49That's a massive pack of chicken.
04:51Wow.
04:52Well, I've got five boys, and it's, like, it's constant.
04:55Five boys?
04:55Well done.
04:56That is incredible.
04:58Are you looking forward to Easter, kids?
05:00No.
05:01No?
05:02Like, not really.
05:03You don't like Easter?
05:04Do you not like chocolate eggs?
05:06I don't really like chocolate.
05:08Do you like chocolate?
05:09Yeah.
05:09Do you?
05:09He's a chocolate-holic.
05:11Are you excited, though, for the lighter evenings, boys?
05:14What happens in summer?
05:16What do we play in summer?
05:17Cricket.
05:18Cricket.
05:19Do you?
05:19Oh, you seem really sporty.
05:21Try to beat.
05:22Otherwise, if you keep them indoors, you know what boys are like.
05:25They just go mad.
05:26Yeah, they do.
05:27There we go.
05:29Thank you so much for chatting with me.
05:30Thank you, Danny.
05:31Always, what do you say to Danny?
05:33Good luck for tonight.
05:34I've ripped your receipt into pieces.
05:37Love it.
05:37That's all right.
05:38Don't worry, you're all right.
05:41Easter is a special time to get together with your nearest and dearest.
05:44I'm so looking forward to just relaxing and tucking into some chocolate eggs with the kids.
05:49And I feel like I really deserve that after today.
05:53Oh, I love that.
05:54You do deserve it, Danny.
05:55I want to be so far at home, my local supermarket.
05:57She's so cool.
05:57And I love a good chin work at the checkout.
05:58Always.
05:59Always.
06:00Right, time to check in with tonight's guests.
06:01It's Bill Bailey, Ricky Wilson and Anton Deck.
06:08Come on.
06:09Bill, coming to you first.
06:11Congratulations on being awarded an MBE for services to entertainment.
06:14Thank you very much.
06:15Thank you very much.
06:16Thank you very much.
06:17Thank you very much.
06:17Thank you very much.
06:18Do you feel good?
06:19Yeah.
06:19Are you getting it soon?
06:20Soon, yes.
06:21Yes, that's right.
06:22Yeah.
06:22I mean, there was an investiture.
06:25They did lots of different investitures because there's so many recipients of the award at different times.
06:29So I was away for the one.
06:31I couldn't make the one I was supposed to go to.
06:33So I had to postpone it slightly.
06:34But luckily, they've kept it.
06:36Yes.
06:37Giving it to someone else.
06:38I thought it was an administrative error when I got it.
06:40Anyway.
06:41We're looking forward to seeing the pictures.
06:42Exactly.
06:43Speaking of special recognition, Ricky, we got to talk about Anton Deck and the force they played in the success
06:49of Kaiser Chiefs.
06:51Didn't know this until today.
06:52Tell us more.
06:53Stratospheric.
06:54Stratospheric.
06:55Without them, we'd be nothing.
06:59Honestly, I think, talking about people making mistakes, we thought there was a mistake because no one had heard of
07:04us.
07:04And we got on Next Saturday Night Takeaway and we were like, I think it was you, you suggested it.
07:08We loved you guys.
07:09You probably did it as well.
07:11And we were like, wow, we're going on that.
07:12And none of our peers were going on.
07:15And suddenly it was like that.
07:16Household name.
07:18Never look back.
07:19Thank you for my house.
07:20There we go.
07:22Well, another round.
07:23It's a lot of Kaiser Chiefs.
07:24It still do.
07:24Oh, there you go.
07:25There you go.
07:25I've noticed when you do Britain's Got Talent, your dressing room's got a Kaiser Chiefs poster behind you.
07:30Yes, it does.
07:30When you do your little TikToks.
07:31Yes.
07:32Sorry.
07:33When you do your little TikToks.
07:34That was so patronizing.
07:36When you do your little TikToks.
07:38It always gives me a giddy thrill.
07:42And we love Ricky having this moment.
07:45Exactly.
07:46Oh, it feels good.
07:46Okay, another of Ant & Dope's hugely popular shows is I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here.
07:49And next week, the spin-off series set in South Africa will be returning to our screens
07:54as 12 former campmates take on another round of trials.
07:57Now, before we hear all about it, let's take a look.
07:59We're back, baby.
08:01We're back.
08:02This time around, we're looking for a legend.
08:06Let's get this party started.
08:09It doesn't get any easier.
08:11I thought it was a joke.
08:11I'm not a joke, darling.
08:13You're my issue right now.
08:15It's dangerous.
08:17All of a sudden, you know, it's then against us.
08:20This is amazing.
08:23This is amazing.
08:28I mean...
08:29It's good.
08:30It's really good.
08:31So, so exciting.
08:32I mean, Ant, this really is an all-star line-up.
08:35You have got Harry Redknapp in there, Scarlett Moffat, Somo Farah, Ashley Roberts off of Pussycat Dolls.
08:41Now, you say this is the most challenging I'm a Celeb ever.
08:45It is.
08:46Tell us why.
08:47Well, because with this South African version, we're looking for a legend.
08:51You know, you want to become the legend of I'm a Celebrity.
08:53We've got to raise the game.
08:54We've got to raise the game.
08:55The trials have got to be tougher.
08:56They're definitely bigger in scale.
08:59Scarier.
09:00And, you know, we want to put them through there.
09:02You can see them there.
09:03This is the first episode which goes out on at 9 o'clock on Monday.
09:06And that's Ashley and Somo Farah.
09:08And they're across a ravine here, like hundreds of feet over the air.
09:12And they've got to make this little puzzle.
09:14But if they fall, I mean, they fall.
09:16No thanks.
09:16They fall.
09:17This is against the clock there.
09:18There's another pair who are going to do it as well.
09:21So, whoever gets there first will win the challenge.
09:23And on this one as well, these are all people who've done brilliantly in Australia.
09:28They've either won it or done very well or they've been big characters in there.
09:31So, the camp, there's kind of nowhere to hide it.
09:34There's a lot of big characters in the camp.
09:36There's big scale trials and challenges.
09:38It's a really, really tough challenge for them.
09:41We're talking of big characters.
09:42Let's bring in the GC.
09:43Yeah.
09:44She's bad.
09:45Come on, baby.
09:46For 2014, I remember when, you know, she was like, no, that's it.
09:49Early exit.
09:50But do you think she's here to redeem herself or she didn't know what she let herself in for?
09:54Well, she lasted 72 hours in Australia.
09:56She did, yeah.
09:57She refused to get in a helicopter.
09:59When she got in a helicopter, then she got out of the helicopter.
10:01She wouldn't let the helicopter take off.
10:04So, she's come back for a redemption arc.
10:07Right.
10:07She's come back to right some wrongs.
10:09She says she can't walk down the street without cabbies stopping her and saying,
10:13oh, you didn't last long in the jungle.
10:15You couldn't hack it.
10:16So, she wants to change everybody's mind.
10:20Let's see if she can do it.
10:20Got it.
10:21This is her sequel.
10:22This is her rocking moment.
10:23It's the comeback.
10:23Right.
10:24But she's very good.
10:25I hope there's some drama.
10:27She loves a bit of drama.
10:28Just a little bit.
10:29This series gives you everything.
10:30There's drama.
10:31There's arguments.
10:33Am I saying too much?
10:34Fights?
10:34Am I saying too much?
10:35No, no, no.
10:36I'm sorry, I think.
10:37But it's, I mean, there's everything.
10:39It's up another level.
10:40It's a must watch.
10:41Well, here's the thing, because you have already recorded the series, but there's a big plot twist at the final,
10:46right?
10:46Yes.
10:46So, the final will be live in three weeks' time.
10:50So, at the end of the series, we will go live back here in London, bring everybody back together.
10:54And the public this time will choose who they think has done the best out of the campmates that are
11:00remaining to choose the Am I'm a Celebrity Legend.
11:02So, there'll be a live final at the very end, where everybody has seen everything that's gone on, and we
11:07get them all back together for an explosive finale.
11:10Cannot wait.
11:11If we get them all back together.
11:12If we get them all back together.
11:13Oh, gosh.
11:13Yes.
11:14Do you need a musical guest?
11:15Yeah, yeah, we might do.
11:16We do, yeah.
11:16OK, all right, OK, yeah.
11:17I like the casual chiefs, get a bonnet ball.
11:20Now, you've also been hanging out together, doing something a little bit different, where no subject is off limits.
11:25Yes, we've launched a podcast called Hanging Out With Ant and Dec, where we do just that, we hang out.
11:31Right. We've both barely recently become fathers to very small kids, so we don't get a chance to hang out
11:36as much as we used to.
11:37So, and now we live geographically further apart than we ever have, so we thought to get a chance to
11:43hang out together and actually catch up with each other, we should launch a podcast.
11:47Because there's not enough of them around here.
11:49There is a shortage.
11:51This was just fun, Bill.
11:52It's a little bit like a longer version of one of the little TikToks.
11:58Exactly.
11:58But on the flip side, I mean, you guys do get into more serious issues in the podcast, so I
12:03guess, are you learning more new things about each other with every record that you do, would you say?
12:07Yeah, I mean, we talk about fatherhood, we talk about moments that have happened in our career throughout the years.
12:15I love the diary.
12:16The real story behind it.
12:17Oh, yes.
12:18Dec found a diary from 1994.
12:20It's excruciately embarrassing.
12:22It's excruciately cringeworthy, but funny.
12:24That's where the gold is.
12:26Yeah, exactly.
12:27Cringy for him.
12:28But yeah, there's kind of no subject off limits, really, and we love it.
12:31I find out more about you and just your life.
12:32Yeah.
12:33Yeah, and we do find out more about each other as well.
12:36Exciting times in Anne and Dec's world, and don't forget, you can watch I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of
12:40Here.
12:41You have to say it like that, don't you?
12:42Yeah.
12:42There we go.
12:43South Africa for next Monday, 6th of April at 9pm on ITV1.
12:47Plus, as we mentioned, Hanging Out with Ant and Dec is available wherever you get your podcasts.
12:52We'll be chatting more to Ant and Dec about Britain's Got Talent later.
12:54Plus, Bill and Ricky will be revealing the Heart Woman moments from their inspirational new art series.
13:00But now it's time for this week's One Big Thank You, which celebrates 17-year-old Jack from Gateshead.
13:06Shortly, we'll see the moment actress Madeline Harris, who played Judy Brown in the Paddington films, gives the perfect surprise.
13:12But first, here's why Jack is such a force for good.
13:20Jack is the best person I know.
13:24He's always wanted to help other children and young people that are unfortunately going through what he has gone through.
13:3217-year-old Jack Thompson from Gateshead was born with a brain tumour and immediately started intense cancer treatments that
13:39continued throughout his childhood.
13:41Jack was diagnosed with a brain tumour in his optic nerve when he was very young, which has left him
13:47registered blind.
13:48But that's never stopped him.
13:50Jack is blind in one eye and has very limited vision in the other.
13:54He and his family received a huge amount of support from charities during his childhood.
13:58He's always said that he always felt so supported by Young Lives vs. Cancer and he understands fully how difficult
14:08it is to go through a cancer diagnosis.
14:12From a young age, he was determined to give back to them.
14:15From the age of seven, he came to me and said he would like to help children who weren't as
14:19lucky as him.
14:20Jack began raising money by standing outside his local supermarket with a collecting tin.
14:25He loves fundraising and you can see from his heart that it means so much to him.
14:31With the help of money he'd raised, Jack's house was opened in 2022.
14:36It provides free home-from-home accommodation for families facing cancer right next to one of the UK's leading paediatric
14:43oncology centres in Manchester.
14:46Because we live quite far away, we have to travel over here.
14:51And so knowing that my family is here has been such a close comfort.
14:57Just to make us smile at times when there's really sometimes not very much to smile about.
15:02Jack's kept donations coming in by organising fundraising events and in 2024, he even braved a charity skydive.
15:10So the fundraising is so important to continue providing home-from-homes for children and people with cancer.
15:18Over 10 years, Jack has raised more than £200,000.
15:23We're very, very fortunate at Young Lives vs. Cancer to have him be part of our family.
15:31What a wonderful young man.
15:33Now we know Jack is a huge fan of Paddington Bear, so we wanted to give him a day he'd
15:36never forget.
15:41When Jack was in hospital undergoing chemotherapy, he watched one film on repeat to take his mind off it.
15:48Paddington.
15:49The much-loved family-friendly film became a symbol of his recovery.
15:53Oh, I understand, Judy.
15:55So, for this week's one big thank you, we've arranged for Jack to have a tour of the Paddington Bear
16:00experience in London.
16:02But in fact, the tour is going to be unique to him.
16:05And to help us put our plan into action, we've asked for a helping hand from the actor who played
16:11Judy Brown in all the films, Madeline Harris.
16:14Jack is an absolute inspiration.
16:16Knowing our film helped him whilst going through his cancer treatment means so much.
16:20I'm very excited to be here to meet him.
16:23He thinks he's here because he's won tickets to a private tour, so he actually has no idea that I'm
16:28here to surprise him.
16:29Or that Madeline has a special jar of marmalade ready to give him.
16:33As Madeline stays undercover in Windsor Gardens, Jack's private tour gets underway, with his nan Elaine, who's also in on
16:41our plan.
16:42Would you like to come in and help me?
16:43Yes.
16:44Wonderful!
16:45He thinks it's being filmed for social media.
16:48Would you be able to help me piece his portraits back together, yes?
16:51Yes.
16:52Have we got some missing?
16:54Oh.
16:55Oh, my God!
16:56Oh, my God!
16:59The tour progresses from picture assembly in the living room to marmalade making in the kitchen.
17:04He says on the rest of people, the perfect taste, the orange and chocolate must be balanced precisely.
17:10The kitchen looks exactly the same as I remember it.
17:14Jack's really enjoying getting involved with all the activities.
17:18There you go.
17:19Good job.
17:20And makes it to the final room, where he thinks the tour will come to an end.
17:25Was the room as beautiful as I remember?
17:28Yes.
17:29Oh.
17:29Yeah.
17:29You were all extraordinarily kind to think of me.
17:33Meanwhile, Madeline gets into position outside the final door.
17:38Who is this?
17:41Hi, Jack.
17:42Hi.
17:43Madeline.
17:44As Madeline reveals her identity, Jack can't believe who's become part of his private tour.
17:51Wow.
17:52Can you tell me a little bit about sort of why you were watching the films?
17:56I've still got cancer.
17:57I've got brain tumour.
17:59Whenever I've finished a treatment, I never really had long in remission before going on another treatment.
18:03But my mum sort of offered, oh, do you want to watch Padme?
18:06So I've heard a little bit about your charity work.
18:08Can you tell me a bit more?
18:09So I started that when I was seven, just over ten years ago, and I've raised around £220,000.
18:14That's incredible.
18:16For all your hard work, I'd like to give you this.
18:18Oh, it's in real.
18:19One big thank you.
18:21I actually know a lot about you and a lot about your charity work.
18:25Yeah.
18:25So we are here today, because I'm here on behalf of The One Show, to give you one big thank
18:31you.
18:32Thank you very much.
18:35You're very welcome.
18:36And we're not actually done yet.
18:37We've got some more surprises.
18:38Oh, cool.
18:39So, you ready?
18:40Yes.
18:41Perfect.
18:43Hi, Jack.
18:44It's Ava.
18:45Thank you for being an amazing big brother.
18:48I am so proud of all the fundraising that you have done and for helping others.
18:52We're so proud of you and constantly in awe at your amazing fundraising.
18:56Thank you, Jack.
18:58Thank you, Jack.
19:26I didn't even, I didn't even suspect a thing, you know.
19:29Amazing.
19:29You guys have done a good job.
19:30And there's one final visitor heading for Jack.
19:45such a lovely moment, Jack.
19:47It's brilliant.
19:47A huge thanks to Madeline and the team at the Paddington Bear Experience, which is open to visitors.
19:52And if there's someone remarkable who's gone above and beyond that you would like to thank in person, do get
19:57in touch at onebigthankyou at bbc.co.uk and please tell us all about them.
20:02Now, when it comes to celebrating inspirational people, we are not stopping there because right about now, it is time
20:07to talk about the return of Bill's series, Extraordinary Portraits.
20:12And also involved is Ricky, who started out as an art teacher.
20:15He's one of the several artists who work with those featured in the show to create a masterpiece in their
20:20image.
20:22I've assembled a crack team of artists, painters and sculptors to immortalise these unsung heroes with a unique series of
20:30portraits.
20:30This is the hardest bit for you, isn't it, Eddie?
20:33Sitting still.
20:34We were just looking at you.
20:36The reveals are not that far away now.
20:38If this second cast fails, I'm done.
20:41There's a big sense of responsibility to capture their story.
20:45But the results are going to be amazing.
20:49Fantastic.
20:50Quite blown away, to be honest.
20:51I wasn't thinking you were going to make me cry.
20:54Sorry, I'm getting a bit emotional.
20:58Bill, it's such a gorgeous show and it features all different types of people with a huge range of stories.
21:03Tell us a bit more about Eddie.
21:05He's going to be on tomorrow's episode.
21:06Yes, yes.
21:07She's Iron Gran.
21:09That's her sort of nickname.
21:10And she's an incredible woman.
21:13I mean, if ever there was that, you know, that phrase that people sometimes say, age is just a number.
21:18Well, she's just the embodiment of that.
21:20But she runs triathlons, she runs marathons, she is an incredible woman, Iron Gran, that's her nickname.
21:28And she didn't, I mean, she came to it very late in life.
21:32You know, she didn't swim until she was 60 and learned to swim and then embraced this whole world of
21:40keeping fit.
21:40She's an extraordinary force of nature.
21:42So it's about celebrating people who do extraordinary things in their lives, wherever they are.
21:46And Ricky, you painted Lindsay.
21:48I got Lindsay, yeah.
21:49Who runs a wildlife rescue centre.
21:50That is true, yeah.
21:51Tell us a bit about her.
21:52Well, it was terrifying.
21:53I mean, I got an email from BBC Arts saying, would you like to be part of it?
21:56And I love the show.
21:58Would you like to be part of it?
21:59And I thought, yeah, I like being on TV.
22:02But I overwrote my pudding about how good I was at painting.
22:05And then I had to do it.
22:06And I met Lindsay and then I thought, now I don't want to let Lindsay down.
22:09And she knew what she wanted, didn't she?
22:11Yes.
22:11And I can't draw a macaque.
22:13What are they called?
22:14Macaque.
22:15Macaque.
22:16Yeah.
22:16So I was like, I wanted to just draw Lindsay and she wanted animals in it.
22:19And I had to weigh up whether to make it all about her or about her animals.
22:23And I went against her wishes, which was also nerve-wracking.
22:26But one of the most nerve-wracking things I've ever done, because it was an audience of one, to be
22:31honest.
22:31Because I just had to paint her and make her happy with her portrait.
22:34And I hope I did it justice.
22:36I think you did there.
22:36But what I got from it was that it sort of rekindled a bit of your love of art, didn't
22:41it?
22:41It did, yeah.
22:42Because I've always banged on about the fact I was good at it.
22:44But I've never actually done anything.
22:46So it was good to kind of get back on that bike.
22:50But it was incredibly frustrating.
22:51Yeah.
22:52And I think that's inspirational for people as well who have a burning desire to do something later in life.
22:56But just go and do it and give it a go.
22:58Anyone that can walk into a room with nothing and come out with something of value, it's an amazing thing.
23:03And I wish I was better at it.
23:05And maybe I will strive to be better at it.
23:09You've done a bit of painting, haven't you?
23:11I'm terrible at it.
23:12Oh, my God.
23:13We're getting on to that.
23:14We're going to get to that.
23:15Oh, yeah.
23:16Are we going there?
23:17Oh, yeah.
23:17We're going to stick with this, Bill, first.
23:19Because you love sketching.
23:20And when you find out about your dad, your dad's artwork, which was such a huge inspiration to you.
23:24Yeah, it was.
23:25I mean, my dad, he loves to paint.
23:29You know, he's an amateur, but he's very good at it.
23:32And from when I was a kid, he would sketch, he would use pastels, he would do calligraphy.
23:38And some of these things, my mum, very sweetly, would sort of frame them, put them on the wall.
23:42And when I was a kid, I thought, these are great.
23:45And then, of course, found out they were my dad's.
23:47And he's carried on throughout his whole life.
23:51And he still paints now.
23:52And he's a bit of an inspiration, really.
23:57Oh, big up Papa Bailey.
23:58Yeah.
23:58It sounds like a great time.
23:59He must love the show.
24:00He does.
24:01I mean, he's come to a few of the recordings.
24:03And he's come to a couple of reveals.
24:05You know, he sort of, you know, he loves it.
24:08And it does get quite emotional, doesn't it?
24:11I mean, that's the thing.
24:12Yeah.
24:12You don't expect it to be, but it's very powerful.
24:14When seeing yourself as others see you, I think, is one of the great things about portraiture.
24:21It's so much more than just a likeness.
24:23It's like, you know, artists get time, you know, spend time with the sitter.
24:26They get to spend time with them, with the subject, really get to know them, which is unusual.
24:30Because a lot of artists, if they get a portrait commission, they might just get a photograph, you know, and
24:34they'll have to work from that.
24:35Whereas with this show, they get to hang out with them, spend time with their family, their partners, their work
24:40colleagues.
24:41And they really get to sort of see the whole person and their personality comes across.
24:47Now, Anton Deck, you are no strangers to the world of painting portraits.
24:53Yes.
24:53Can you explain to us exactly who you were trying to capture here?
24:56We do a thing on our social media, on our little TikToks.
25:00I don't need the rest of time on the ones you're talking about this.
25:03We do a format called Celebrity Portrait and we draw a celebrity.
25:07Then we send our paintings to that celebrity for them to rate.
25:11And this was our Simon Cowell week.
25:14That's an attempted Simon Cowell.
25:16I'm very bad with skin colour.
25:18Skin totally struggles with faces of humans.
25:20I don't know whether you're an genius or a lunatic.
25:24Has he put them up, hung them up?
25:26No, he was appalled.
25:27Wow.
25:28But yours actually wasn't that bad.
25:29Yeah.
25:30No shame.
25:30No shame, Simon Cowell, right?
25:32Of course you can.
25:33Just very avant-garde.
25:34Of course you can.
25:34Very avant-garde.
25:36Yeah, you've got no bananas.
25:37Just know we won't be asking you to do our portraits yet.
25:41And it's all subjective anyway.
25:43All art is valid art.
25:44There we go.
25:46Well done, Christ.
25:46Well done.
25:47He's so positive.
25:51Extraordinary Portraits with Bill Bailey continues this Friday on BBC One and iPlayer at 7.30pm.
25:56And you can catch it in Wales next Wednesday at 9.30pm.
25:59And you can also see the portraits when they go on display in a really special exhibition
26:03at the Loading Bay in Bradford from the 1st of May.
26:06Now, Ant, lots of people love...
26:09Don't worry, we're not going to talk about painting anymore.
26:11Lots of people love Britain's Got Talent.
26:13It's a show that is just in the nation's hearts, really, isn't it?
26:16Got to talk about last weekend, you pressed the golden buzzer for a really special comedian.
26:21We did.
26:22Tell us more about him, Ted.
26:23Ted Hill.
26:25This is him here.
26:26We snuck on for the first time round the back to try and stop any of the judges getting there
26:31before us.
26:32Because he was just very unique in how he delivered his routines.
26:36He's a stand-up comic, but he uses graphs and he talks about things in a very unique way.
26:43Today, he is not your typical stand-up comic, but he just had us on the floor.
26:48We were dying.
26:49He's so creative.
26:50He's really good.
26:51He was really funny.
26:52He was really good.
26:52Yeah, he's great.
26:52And to mention Stacey Solomon, because she stepped in for Simon.
26:55She's a force of nature.
26:56You mentioned force of nature.
26:57And she's just brilliant.
26:59So it must have been nice to have her there.
27:01Yeah, it was wonderful.
27:01And also, you know, a lot of people forget that Stacey came through the X Factor.
27:05So for her to go full circle and be down there on the judging panel, she knew exactly how the
27:10contestants felt up there on the stage.
27:12And she was brilliant.
27:13Yeah, she was great.
27:14Empathetic.
27:14And she was funny.
27:16And also gave some brilliant constructive criticism as well.
27:19So she was great.
27:20And generally speaking, what kind of acts are we seeing this year on the show, would you say?
27:24Oh, gosh, it is, there's a lot of big scale, there's a lot of technically very difficult acts that are
27:34coming through this year.
27:35Some really good dance groups this year, because we went through a period where they just weren't caught on it.
27:40You know, they were OK.
27:41But this year, I think, especially, there's two that I remember from the auditions that were just something we'd never
27:47seen before.
27:48Yeah.
27:48So, you know, fingers crossed that they make it to the last show.
27:51We love a golden buzzer moment, though.
27:52We love a golden buzzer moment.
27:53Who doesn't?
27:54We've got to be so quick, though, because the judges are right there in front.
27:57So we've got to get down and get there before they do.
28:00Manoeuvre.
28:01Bill, you absolutely love these types of shows, don't you?
28:04You love just old school entertainment, right?
28:06Definitely.
28:06That's right.
28:07I mean, that's, you know, the title of my new show, the show that I'm going to be touring, Vaudevillian.
28:12Because I think Vaudeville is something which I really, I love, but also I feel like I'm kind of carrying
28:19a torch for it.
28:19Because it's sort of, it's the original sort of broad family entertainment.
28:24Before radio, before film, you know, there was Vaudeville.
28:28And it was very much like the kind of show that Britain's Got Talent is, where you have people with
28:34a certain skill.
28:36And sometimes these people had just one skill that they could do brilliantly.
28:39And they would tour around the world to do it.
28:41And so it's very much a celebration of that.
28:44I just think it's kind of, I don't know, I feel it's the sort of thing that brings people together.
28:49You know, in a time when a lot of the time we're sort of watching things, people watch at home
28:53or streaming, live entertainment.
28:55There's nothing that really comes close to it.
28:59And don't forget, Britain's Got Talent continues this Saturday, 6.45 on ITV1.
29:04Sadly, that is all we've got time for tonight.
29:06Thank you for your time.
29:08And you all behaved yourselves.
29:09We're back tomorrow.
29:11We're still kind.
29:12No, no, no.
