1. Happy Birthday Bandana

It's heat one, and our five pint-sized contestants - Anita, Lazer, Nyarah, Persia and Reuben - sniff mashed potato and throw things into a big hat, in the hope of making it through to the semi-finals

2. Would a Bird Fly?

In heat two, our next five contestants cram biscuits through a sieve and launch planes from a great height. Does Rose Matafeo agree that Greggs is the most glamorous eatery in town?

Sandcastles, firework-fuelled rollerskates and the zombie apocalypse... It's heat four, and this week's fab five are getting acquainted with Hollywood royalty.
