She's my date for tonight.
Make some noise for the gorgeous Mel B! CHEERING Welcome to Lip Sync Battle UK.
The game is simple.
Two stars lip-sync two songs and the audience decide who did it best.
Now, the mics may be off, but the battle is definitely on.
- Are you ready? - AUDIENCE: Yes! And here to help me, as always, is my partner in rhyme.
Give it up for Professor Green! CHEERING - What's happening? - How have you been today? Good as gold.
I get it! Anyway, tonight's stars are multi-award-winners.
And they're battling to get their hands on the most coveted prize in showbiz this.
Our Lip Sync Battle championship belt.
Yes.
But first up, he's a funnyman, a gameshow host, a classically trained singer.
But none of that's going to help him tonight.
It's Alexander Armstrong! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Next up is a comedian famed for his dark humour and deadpan delivery.
8 Out Of 10 Cats love him.
Give it up for Jimmy Carr! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE - You are ready for action, aren't ya? - Whoa! - Huge! - How are you both feeling about tonight? I feel like I've just come from the office.
Look at this! You're a singer.
Do you think that gives you an advantage or not, or what? No, not even slightly.
- Who do you think's gonna win? - Me.
LAUGHTER I think you might win.
You were in the Spice Girls.
You're gonna kill this.
- There you go.
- There's Pro Green as well.
I was going to ask you, Pro Green what are you expecting from these two lovely lads? Way too much of a conundrum.
Pointless asking me, darling.
LAUGHTER A few of you getting those jokes.
He's already got his bloody rap hands out.
I decided who goes first, so I went for the man with the best laugh.
Obviously, that's you, Jimmy.
So, Alexander, you go and take a seat in our bar.
- Let me have a quick chat to you.
- Sure.
How are you feeling about being the first to take to the stage? I just, um Obviously I mean, I know it's a cliché to talk about tragic back stories, but LAUGHTER I don't want to make the crowd But my grandmother She's she just She fucking hates this show.
I really want to do well just to stick it to her.
- OK.
So what song will you be lip-syncing? - You'll see.
All right, well He's first up and I don't know what he's singing, but it's Jimmy.
Take it away, my lovely.
CHEERING Oh I need my mic.
CHEERING INTRO: Lose Yourself by Eminem If you had one shot Or one opportunity To seize everything you ever wanted In one moment Would you capture it Or just let it slip? Yo His palms are sweaty, knees weak Arms are heavy There's vomit on his sweater already Mom's spaghetti He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop bombs But he keeps on forgetting what he wrote down The whole crowd goes so loud He opens his mouth But the words won't come out He's choking how Everybody's joking now The clock's run out Time's up Over, blaow! Snap back to reality Oh, there goes gravity Oh, there goes Rabbit He choked He's so mad, but he won't give up that easy No, he won't have it He knows his whole back's to these ropes It don't matter, he's dope He knows that, but he's broke He's so sad that he knows When he goes back to his mobile home That's when it's back to the lab again, yo This whole rhapsody He better go capture this moment And hope it don't pass him You better lose yourself in the music, the moment You own it You better never let it go You only get one shot Do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo You better lose yourself in the music, the moment You own it You better never let it go You only get one shot Do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime You better CHEERING AND APPLAUSE And boom! Ended with the classic mic drop! So, have you always been a bit of an Eminem fan? I've not heard of him.
They told me it was Elvis! You really got into the zone.
You were like a bit of a bad boy.
I saw a different side of you.
- Stop it, you! - Kinda liked it.
Listen, you're a woman with needs.
I understand that, but please! Alexander, what did you think? I'm a bit worried.
That is so like what I'm about to do.
LAUGHTER - How are you going to top it, though? - Well, easily.
Easily.
Easily? - Sure! - I have no I think he's got this.
Pro, as a fellow rapper yourself, are you a little bit worried about what you've just seen? PRO SNIGGERS Slightly, but for completely different reasons.
- Jimmy, go to the bar and get yourself a drink.
- Lovely.
Come on over, Alexander, you're up.
APPLAUSE DROWNS OUT SPEECH So, Alexander, what song have you chosen? Scissor Sisters.
AUDIENCE: Wooo! All right, then.
I Don't Feel Like Dancing.
I mean, I do, but OK, well, hit him back with I Don't Feel Like Dancing.
It's Alexander.
Go for it! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE MUSIC STARTS Wake up in the morning with a head like "What ya done?" This used to be the life but I don't need another one Good luck cuttin' nothin' Carryin' on, You wear them gowns So how come I feel so lonely when you're up gettin' down? So I play along when I hear that favourite song I'm gonna be the one who gets it right You better know when you're swingin' round the room Looks like magic's solely yours tonight But I don't feel like dancin' When the old Joanna plays My heart could take a chance But my two feet can't find a way You think that I could muster up a little soft shoe gentle sway But I don't feel like dancin' No sir, no dancin' today Don't feel like dancin', dancin' Why'd you pick a tune when I'm not in the mood? Don't feel like dancin', dancin' Even if I don't find nothin' better to do Don't feel like dancin', dancin' I'd rather be home with the one in the bed till dawn, with you.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE - Alexander! - Yes.
Well, I see you felt very comfortable doing that song.
- You think? - Yeah.
I'm just a bit confused with what happened over there.
I'm talking about the nether area.
What happened there? I thought that was very special, that.
It was! So, heading on into round two, do you think you've got the edge? You know, I'm not even going to Simon Cowell it.
You are through to boot camp.
Pro, what did you make of Alexander? PRO LAUGHS I was going to say it was quite smooth up until that part.
Then it looked like the sort of thing people get kicked out of clubs for.
All right, well, you know what? It's time for a break now, but do not go anywhere, as both of our comedians will be hoping the have the last laugh as they pull out all the stops to get their hands on that belt in round two of tonight's Lip Sync Battle UK! CHEERING Welcome back to Lip Sync Battle UK.
Now, so far tonight, Alexander DID make us feel like dancing.
And we were lost in Jimmy's performance.
Time for round two, where our stars up their game and do whatever it takes to get their hands on the ultimate prize - the Lip Sync Battle championship belt.
But first to take to the stage is Jimmy.
And this is how he got into character for his showdown.
Are we doing trash-talking? Your mother has a penis! Fun fact about Alexander Armstrong he's released two albums of his own music.
And now he's lip-syncing.
So I guess he got the message.
I'm in my forties now.
When I arrived here, I saw Alexander and thought, "Do you know what? I'm the young gun in this.
" Your first song is a Barry Manilow song, right? That's why he's wearing that.
It's great to see Alexander Armstrong back where he belongs on TV.
But in the evenings, not during the day.
I don't want to trash-talk Xander.
It's lovely that someone's dad's getting a go.
Whoa! HE GARGLES I'm a little bit competitive.
I would be annoyed if I thought Alexander was getting paid more than me.
Me, me, me, ma, ma, ma If I was trying to sum up Alexander Armstrong in three words, I would say, "The other one".
Always the other one.
He's wasn't Ben Miller.
He's not Richard Osman.
Didn't realise I had flabby arms.
Need to go to the gym.
It's OK if I do that for the whole show.
Why should he be scared of me? I've got his wife and family.
It's going to be quite annoyingly good-natured.
Good news, Alexander.
If you've come as a cunt, you've won.
CHEERING WOLF WHISTLE INTRO: Poker Face by Lady Gaga Muh muh muh muh muh Muh muh muh muh muh I wanna hold 'em like they do in Texas plays Fold 'em, let 'em hit me Raise it, baby stay with me I love it Love game intuition Play the cards with spades to start And after he's been hooked I'll play the one that's on his heart Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh oh I'll get him hot Show him what I've got Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh oh I'll get him hot Show him what I've got Can't read my Can't read my No, he can't read my poker face She's got me like nobody Can't read my Can't read my No, he can't read my poker face She's got me like nobody My, my, my poker face P-P-P-Poker face Muh muh muh muh muh P-P-P-Poker face P-P-P-Poker face Muh muh muh muh muh I wanna roll with him A hard pair we will be A little gambling is fun when you're with me I love it Russian roulette is not the same without a gun And baby, when it's love if it's not rough, it isn't fun, fun Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh oh I'll get him hot Show him what I've got Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh oh I'll get him hot Show him what I've got Can't read my Can't read my No, he can't read my poker face She's got me like nobody Can't read my Can't read my No, he can't read my poker face She's got me like nobody.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE My, oh, my! You definitely maintained the poker face throughout the whole of that.
- How did that feel? - Awesome.
It was like coming home to me.
Honestly, I enjoyed that just a little bit too much! A worrying amount.
The most fun ever.
CHEERING Alexander, what was it like watching Jimmy? - Worried now? - That was beautiful.
It was.
Well done, you.
Beautiful is the only word.
Are you confident you could beat that? Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's a really weird sensation.
I can feel Pro Green undressing me with his eyes.
You go off to the VIP bar.
Come on down here, Alexander.
- So you've seen what you've got to beat.
- Yeah.
But you've been feeling pretty confident about your performance, so let's take a look, shall we? Here we are.
Can't wait to go.
Alan Carr doesn't stand a chance.
I don't even know how he can say "lip-sync", let alone do it.
I think it's gonna be a tooth-off.
Ooh! It's time for some lip-syncing! Hello! - It's Alexander Armstrong.
Can't believe you're - Nice to see you.
- What are you doing here? - Lip Sync Battle.
- Yeah.
- No! - Yes.
- No! It's JIMMY Carr.
It's not Alan Carr.
See, I AM worried now.
I keep picturing him with a hairbrush in his room, rehearsing.
I dread to think the profanity that is coming out.
Bad-mouthing me.
He is an old man.
He was wearing three different kinds of corduroy when he arrived.
What I have heard I keep hearing that bloomin' donkey laugh.
HE BRAYS So he's clearly amusing himself.
Ah, ah The method actor within me is wanting me to channel the greats of lip-syncing.
I'm thinking Britney.
Yeah, got it.
Got it.
Nailed it.
Beyonce.
HE MOUTHS Shakira.
My hips are telling the truth here, aren't they? No word of a lie! That'll help me focus, I think.
Mr Carr, I challenge you to a duel! Lips at dawn.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE INTRO: I Believe In A Thing Called Love by The Darkness Can't explain all the feelings that you're making me feel My heart's in overdrive and you're behind the steering wheel Touching you Touching me Touching you God, you're touching me I believe in a thing called love Just listen to the rhythm of my heart There's a chance we could make it now We'll be rocking till the sun goes down I believe in a thing called love Ooh, ooh I want to kiss you every minute, every hour, every day You got me in a spin but everything is A-OK Touching you Touching me Touching you God, you're touching me I believe in a thing called love Just listen to the rhythm of my heart There's a chance we could make it now We'll be rocking till the sun goes down I believe in a thing called love Ooh, ooh.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Oh, wow! - What a transformation! - WOLF WHISTLES - I'm digging the catsuit.
- Yeah? You had lots of energy up there.
Tell me, how did that feel? LISPING: It felt fabulous! It felt fabulous.
It's weird what this does.
- I know.
- It changes my eyes.
It kind of, in a really weird way, makes you, like, a little bit hot.
- LAUGHTER - Or is that just me? - All right, moving on.
- OK! - What did you think? - A couple of things.
We now have the same dentist, it appears.
I love the way you got the whole family involved.
You got your mum up there Your two teenage daughters did a fabulous job.
Huge.
Huge performance.
Huge.
CHEERING Pro Green, did you go Gaga for Jimmy or are you feeling the love for Alexander? CHEERING Well, it's a tough one to call.
Never have the stakes been higher.
LAUGHTER Pro Green, everyone.
Pro Green.
Now it all comes down to this.
Let's see who will be crowned Lip Sync Battle UK champion tonight.
Jimmy and Alexander, come over here.
Come and join me.
CHEERING Professor Green, the belt, please.
So we've heard what Pro Green thinks.
But audience, the only opinion that matters is yours.
All right? So is the winner Alexander? CHEERING That was really bloody loud.
Or is the winner Jimmy? CHEERING So, the winner and Lip Sync Battle UK champion is Alexander! CHEERING So, even though you had a lot of fun tonight, are you a little bit devastated you didn't win? No.
I thought it was an amazing performance.
But I mean A man of his age doing that to his knees, that is incredible work.
Incredible.
- How do you feel holding the belt right now? - Incredible! LISPING: Up close, you see how beautiful it is! Can't take you seriously with those teeth in! - These are never coming out! They're glued in.
- They are! They were both incredible tonight.
Please put your hands together for Alexander and Jimmy.

And goodbye from me.
