AND HERE'S ONE WE MADE EARLIER (1992 - BIG)



RECIPE (for disaster)
4 young pop stars (assorted)
2 bags of flour
2 boxes of eggs
1 packet of marzipan
1 bag of sultanas
A tablespoon of sugar
And a bucket of soapy water to clear up the mess!

First, first an expert cook who knows what he's doing. Step forward John from East 17.

"I used to be a cook," he grins. "I worked in a French restaurant for eight months. I was washing dishes and cleaning kitchens but then I started doing some cooking. I was on more money than I am now!"

An experienced cook - that sounds encouraging! Next, take three helpers who know their way around the kitchen. Who else but John's pals from East 17 - Terry, Tony and Brian. But are they any good at cooking?

"Yeah, I'm a good cook," says Brian, none too convincingly. "Well, actually... no. I'm okay with spaghetti or beans on toast but I'm not sure about a Christmas cake!"

Then, gather round the cooking bowl. As the lads don their chefs hats, we get some bad news from their manager. They're all of a celebrity awards ceremony that night so they mustn't get any flour on their clothes.

As our hopes for a spectacular food fight disappears, the boys begin mixing up the ingredients. They're doing a passable impression of professional chefs when Terry decides to liven things up - by throwing flour all over Tony. Brian cracks an egg over the back of Terry's neck and suddenly it's mayhem! A cloud of flour fills the room, eggs fly through the air and marzipan hits the ceiling!

As the egg, flour and sultanas fly overhead, we cower under the table and unwrap the cake we'd bought in Marks and Spencers just in case. And it was all going so well...
