It is time to find out who will be
tonight's Unexpected Star Of The Show!
So, that is Davide.
He lives in Hertfordshire.
He's been a hairdresser for the last 34 years,
and there he is, he's combing it out,
a little bit aggressively, I've got to be honest!
And when he's not cutting and blow drying, he absolutely loves to sing.
He's been nominated by his friend, Colin,
who is with him right now.
Tonight, Davide thinks he has volunteered to be
in an identity parade.
And that...
I know, it's a really good one!
So, you need to be very, very quiet,
because we're going to be actually pranking him on this stage.
Are you up for that, ladies and gentlemen?
OK. So I can now go to the private investigator's office
right next door, and that is it. And there is Davide.
And that's his friend, Colin, on the right.
So, right now, he has no idea that he is going to be arrested.
Davide's biggest fans, of course, are his family and friends,
and we're going to find out a little bit more about him
before we do this massive surprise on him.
So, I'm going to chat with Franco, which is Davide's brother.
Franco! Franco! Ciao! Ciao! Stand up for me, Franco!
So, you're Italian?
Totally.
Totally!
IN ITALIAN ACCENT: When did he discover, Davide,
that he was a singer?
Well, actually, I didn't even know he was a singer.
You didn't know he was a singer? No.
Don't tell me I'VE just told you that?! Yes, you have.
Breaking news! So tell me the story, Franco?
Well, I found out about five years ago.
I didn't know he could sing.
And then he started throwing a few notes about...
And he's embraced that since then? Does he perform?
Yeah, yeah, apparently so. I've never seen him singing live.
This is my first time.
Well, I have to say, neither have I, Franco.
That makes two of us!
Have you seen Davide sing live? No!
Have you seen him sing live? No!
Have you seen Davide...? No-one's seen him sing live.
The rest of the family has. Oh, the family has.
All right, so who's here tonight supporting Davide?
Oh, team Davide!
We should find out if there's anybody here
whose hair Davide has cut.
There's a bald gentlemen who has put his hand up over here.
A little bit extreme, wasn't it?
"Just-a keep-a going, OK?"
Very good. This is very exciting.
Yes, it is. We're going to give him this surprise - how does
he take to surprises?
Because I've heard he's a little bit of a serious man.
I think he will be shocked.
Yeah, well, that's the idea.
Thank you so, so much, Franco. Grazie!
Franco! Franco! OK. OK.
This is-a Franco.
OK, I'm going to go around there -
the next time you see me I'll pop up in that screen
and I'll show you a little bit what's inside that box.
Bear with me, thank you, here we go!
Hello!
Can you see me?
Very good!
OK, so, this is where Davide's going to be taken,
he's going to be taken through this corridor,
I don't even know what this is.
It looks a bit police-y and official.
There are leaflets for things, it's a holding area.
It's all a bit miserable. There's an old...
Oh, God!
There's an old payphone here.
That seems fine - no-one uses them, anyway.
Off we go, health and safety stuff, little bit of a chart.
Of course this is all fake.
I'm now moving on to that little box in front of you on the stage,
so this is it, it's all very dirty.
Stand here.
This is obviously wrong, I'm 6ft 2ins.
They'll each be given a number.
And then they'll stand here.
They've got little numbers, they know where to stand,
I won't make a single sound.
And then that is going to collapse.
And the next time you see him, he'll see you,
then he'll get this massive surprise, OK?
Thank you.
OK, so, with a bit of luck, we can go live to the room.
And there are our volunteers.
And I'm going to communicate with that room, we have an actress,
Donna, she's going to be running this whole little identity parade.
Donna, if you can hear me, enter and say, "I'm Donna Tracy PI."
And without looking, throw your hat onto the hat stand.
I'm Donna Tracy PI.
Hello.
Hello. OK.
So... I'm running this identity parade today.
I'm running this identity parade today.
OK, names.
Names...?
Brandon. Davide. Colin.
Bit about me? OK, bit about me.
I can Sherlock. I can Sherlock.
Your name is Brandon. Your name is Brandon.
I just told you that.
Then look at Davide, sniff the air and say,
"Parmesan. You're Italian."
Parmesan. You're Italian.
Look at his fingers, go, "Slight indentation."
You've got a slight indentation... Scissors.
Scissors. You're a gift-wrapper. Gift-wrapper...
No, hairdresser! No, hairdresser. Yes.
You're here to help us identify...
You're here to help us identify the Candyman.
He's been stealing pick'n'mix around the world for decades.
They say he brought down Woolworths.
We've been tracking him, I'll show you on the map...
We've been tracking him, I'll just show you on the map...
All around the world. Mainly Europe.
But as far as Hawai-i.
There was this key piece of evidence here...
A giant cola bottle.
A giant cola bottle, with his fingerprints all over it.
But unfortunately, it did go missing.
I ate it.
In the identity parade, you're going to be recreating
how the suspect operates.
Let's select Davide, hairdresser, come forward, please.
Hairdresser, come forward, please. Thank you.
Just stand here. If I could just ask you to put this on.
OK, so if I can just ask you to put this on.
Pop that on. Thank you, pop that on.
Yep. OK.
If you just take a step back here...
OK.
Right... OK. I'll ask you to do a few things.
I'm just going to ask you to do a few things.
First, look a bit shifty.
First, can you look a bit shifty?
OK. And he did do an evil laugh.
And he did do an evil laugh - can you do one?
Ha-ha-HA!
Very good.
It is thought he was sucking on a liquorice pipe.
It's thought that he was sucking on a liquorice pipe.
So I'm just going to hand you this pipe.
OK, just put the pipe in. Put the pipe in your mouth.
Do some combos. Look shifty.
Do some combos and look shifty.
Evil laugh. Evil laugh.
Ha-ha-ha-HA!
Right, how did he steal the pick'n'mix?
How did he steal the pick'n'mix?
So, if you just come over here, please.
Just pop the scoop in here.
Half full.
Yeah.
Just half full.
Yeah.
Stand over here, like this.
Raise your scoop in the air.
Now, raise your scoop in the air.
That's how he did it.
OK, leave the coat on and take a seat.
We're all going to coat up and go through shortly.
OK, very, very shortly, we're going to bring him up,
he's going to take part in the line-up.
It's going to be very hard not to laugh.
Please do not laugh at that moment, OK?
Just hold it in.
When I go, "That's our guy," it'll fall down
and then everybody, on their feet, go crazy.
The crazier you go, the bigger surprise he will get.
All right.
Let's see how that goes.
So, they're all now... MICHAEL CHUCKLES
There's Davide, a little bit confused.
Colin's struggling to get his backpack on. There you go.
I've never seen a man look more uncomfortable
in a backpack in my life.
All right. So, let's bring them up. Let's do this.
When he's on the stage, as quiet as you can, thank you.
Great.
We're ready over there. OK.
Shall we take everyone over now? Please.
Everyone ready, OK? Follow me, gang. Shh, shh.
Thank you so much, thank you. Follow me, everyone.
Let's get you in, then. So, if I can get you to be number one for me.
Just stand at number one.
Number two for me.
If I can get you to be number four.
Number five. I'll just get the suspect.
All right.
So if you can just get into that position there for me.
And put that right in front of yourself. Thank you.
So everyone just face the front for me,
thank you very much. And you'll hear a speaker that will explain.
Thank you.
Number three, please step forward.
Raise your right hand above your head, please, mate.
Back, please. Step back, number three.
Number two, please step forward.
Nice. Five, four, one and three, please step out.
That's our man.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's Davide, our Unexpected Star!
That's all your family and friends!
You're the Candyman! You're the Candyman! Yeah!
They caught you red-handed.
It was me, it was. How are you feeling, Davide?
That is a massive, massive shock. I'm completely shocked.
Really shocked. What did you think when that guy walked in?
Because we tried to make him look as similar to you.
Did you start to panic, when the suspect walked in?
No, he wasn't as good-looking as me.
This must be very, very surreal.
You are here, do you know why you're here? No. OK.
Well, you're here because you are a sensational hairdresser. Yes.
But now, you've discovered another talent, what do you like to do...?
Apart from cut hair? Yeah. Yeah. I sing.
There you go, that's it, ladies and gentlemen.
You are here tonight to be something called
the Unexpected Star Of The Show. So you are...
It's definitely unexpected!
We've created and set up a whole, huge performance for you.
If you would agree, Davide,
to be tonight's Unexpected Star Of The Show? No.
Yes! He's up for it, ladies and gentlemen.
We'll take your second answer!
Oh, you're so brilliant.
Thank you so, so much. You're going to go off here.
There are people waiting, and we'll see you at the end of the show.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's our Unexpected Star -
number two, it's Davide!
All right, ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome our Unexpected Star of tonight's show.
It's Davide!
# Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma!
# Tu pure, oh Principessa
# Nella tua fredda stanza
# Guardi le stelle che tremano
# D'amore e di speranza
# Ma il mio mistero e chiuso in me
# Il nome mio nessun sapra
# No, no, sulla tua bocca lo diro
# Quando la luce splendera
# Ed il mio bacio sciogliera
# Il silenzio che ti fa mia
# Il nome suo nessun sapra
# E noi dovrem, ahime, morir, morir
# Dilegua, oh notte!
# Tramontate, stelle!
# All'alba vincero!
# Vincera!
# Vincero! #
RAPTUROUS APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
