Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills is to front the new BBC Three entertainment event Upstaged, which invites the public to “make a show of themselves” by performing a talent that can keep the nation entertained for up to eight hours. What contestants do is completely up to them – the wilder and wackier the better.

From a human lizard to land-bound synchronised swimmers via ballerinas, rappers and a gorgeous girl riding a motorbike ON TOP of a man on a bed of nails, all these acts tried to ‘upstage’ each other this week, in preparation for the BBC’s brand new entertainment show.

Radio 1 DJ and presenter of Upstaged, Scott Mills, was on hand to check out the acts as they crammed into a miniature version of the show’s unique performance spaces - a glass box - in the centre of Leicester Square.

Scott Mills said: “I’m really excited to be involved in such a ground-breaking show. The contestants get eight hours in the limelight, so there’s scope for lots of creativity and experimentation.

“It’s not just about singing or dancing – we’re looking for artists, sculptors, wit and wisdom, anyone with a unique idea that they think will keep the nation entertained for eight hours.
