Celebrity Driving Academy

Episode 8

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on CBBC HDLatest broadcast: on CBBC Channel

Presenter Joe Swash and driving examiner Sandra Dodson are joined by Rowland Rivron and his son Ned, popstar and TV presenter Jamelia and her daughter Teja, and actress and comedian Debra Stephenson and her son Max.

Our three stars are disasters in cars, and their kids are here to help them become better drivers by joining them on a one-week crash course behind the wheel. Yes, that's right, the kids are driving cars too!

The kids are taught the essentials of safe driving by elite driving instructor Vicky Lovell, so they can pass on her top driving tips to their parents in our daily driving competition - the Superskills Challenge.

Over five days, our teams go head to head in five of the most outrageous driving tests on the planet. From performing an emergency stop within a scoring zone, to driving on simulated black ice, or competing in a gigantic penalty shoot-out with cars and huge footballs. These high-octane trials will put their driving skills to the ultimate test.

It is day three and the celebs and their kids have their driving skills tested in a task which is a trifle challenging. With a huge trifle on the roof of their car, they must negotiate speed bumps, slaloms and drive over the dreaded seesaw Ramp of Doom without losing any of the cherries from their pudding! It is all about smooth driving on this crazy obstacle course!

The winning team will take maximum points from this challenge and the losers will have to suffer a messy gunging by taking the Wash of Shame. Which team will overcome their bad habits and impress the academy's super-strict chief examiner Sandra Dodson, and who will be crowned champions of Celebrity Driving Academy at the end of the week?
