I always say to them, “just look at us, don’t look at the clock” because they’ll lose their head. That’s the thing you can’t practice, especially on that last round where they money is counting down at a rapid place, it’s so intimidating. A lot of people are so brilliant and have such an ear for music and a great memory bank, but they let the nerves get the better of them. Rochelle: I think just hold your nerve a bit, which is easier said than done. I think the kids love it because we go away to film for a couple of days and my mum comes to stay and they’re allowed to do anything – all the stuff that we wouldn’t let them do happens when we’re gone.ĭo you have any advice for contestants for how to do well on the show? Obviously we’re so much more comfortable with each other than we would be with anyone else too. Working together is really easy, there’s no one I know better than Marv and vice versa. Of course we get on each other’s nerves sometimes, that’s just life, we do that at home. Rochelle: It’s weird because everybody always has the assumption that we’re going to hate it. Apart from Abba and Bucks Fizz, my Eurovision knowledge is capped, but he knows everybody.įour series in, do you still enjoy working together? Rochelle: He’s the King, I did a Eurovision show with him. Marvin: We always have a Eurovision round and everyone always struggles with that, but I know Rylan Clark-Neal would be incredible. Rochelle: I think someone like James Corden because I know how much of a fan of music he is. The key of the show is being able to stand the decades. He’s obviously is a legend, he is a radio DJ as well and I know that he’s so in-tune with current music and would also know a lot of tunes from the 60s and 70s. Who would be your dream contestants to have on the show? I’ve got a bit of a connection with Blue, Simon used to be my manager, I used to be in a band that he put together, before JLS, so it was great to catch up with him and Duncan – I used to tour with those guys. The Noughties pop was great, we had Atomic Kitten vs Blue vs Steps. Clara was like when we had Scott Mills on before, super nervous at the beginning and very competitive, she wanted to beat how much Scott got and he did very well. We had Clara Amfo from Radio 1 on one of the Strictly specials and when you’re a radio DJ, the pressure is on you to be good because that’s your job, you’re playing music all day, every day. It’s great to see how into it they all get, especially the radio DJs. Marvin: We’ve got two Strictly specials, we’ve got one Christmas special, we’ve got a Noughties Pop special and then there are two other celeb specials. Rochelle: Especially when you’re recording three-a-day.Ĭould you tell us a bit about the celebrity specials in this series? Marvin: There are things like that when the host (not hosts) gets something wrong. Rochelle: And then we had to reset her clock – I’m not accepting any part of the blame for that, you told her to do the wrong thing! It’s confusing for us sometimes, I was telling a contestant in that round to buzz in that round, but she’d had skipped it. Marvin: Well obviously we’ve got the buzzer and sometimes you’re buzzing in to say your answer and sometimes you’re buzzing to skip a song and in round three, they get three skips which means you pause your clock and play goes to other team. After a terrible year of people losing jobs and stuff, winning £10, 000 means a lot so it was a lot more emotional this year than it has been previously.Īre there any blooper moments from this series? You can’t hold back the feeling, we’ve had happy tears, but it also gets very competitive with people playing for money. Rochelle: I’ve noticed it more and more, everybody just leaves their emotions on that stage. We’re such fans of the game, we get so excited when we film a new series.Ĭan you tease any memorable moments from this series? Marvin: It’s such a great show, we’re so lucky to be a part of it. The standard is getting higher and higher every year, the more the show is on, people are discovering that they’re actually really good at this and they want to come down and give it a go. Rochelle: It’s definitely been different, because half of the episodes this year are celebrity specials. What has it been like filming this series of The Hit List?
