The toughest obstacle course on television has come to the UK.
For those who dare to take the challenge,
only the strongest, the bravest...
You've only got one shot. Bring it on!
I was born to do Ninja Warrior.
the most extraordinary people can hope to emerge victorious.
They come from all corners of the kingdom, from all walks of life.
They have prepared for this in many different ways.
But they share one dream.
Ninja Warriors is part of my DNA.
I'm going to treat this course like a piece of masonry
and smash it to pieces... Come on!
This is where ordinary people...
I'm not messing it up. ...become extraordinary.
Ninja Warrior, I'm going to destroy you!
This is Ninja Warrior UK!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Hello and welcome to Ninja Warrior UK.
I'm Ben Shephard. I'm Rochelle Humes. And I'm Chris Kamara.
We're here at Manchester Central. In front of us is the course,
all 10.000 square metres of it.
There are over 30 different obstacles,
all designed to test the skill, strength and speed of a would-be ninja.
Thousands applied, everybody from housebuilders to bodybuilders,
from police to plumbers to postmen,
all competing to be crowned the UK's first Ninja Warrior!
(CHEERING)
So this is how it works.
250 competitors will compete across five heats
for a place in the semifinals.
Tonight, the top ten competitors will make it through.
And for those who make it to the final,
the toughest battle of all, the ultimate challenge,
of Mount Midoriyama!
Only the fastest go through. Tonight they must face the quintuple steps.
Make it across all five without touching the water, then...
The log grip. Hold on with all your strength
and watch out for the drop halfway across.
Next up, the dancing stones.
No hands allowed on this test of balance and bravery.
Any who make it face...
The jump hang, a real leap of faith,
and it's on to... the curtain slider.
Survive this... And it's the final obstacle,
the warped wall, as high as a double-decker bus.
But if they make it to the buzzer...
(HOOT)
they can earn themselves a place in the semifinal!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
That scared the life out of you!
We're going to be commentating on all the action.
While we're up here, Rochelle is gonna be down there with all our contestants.
Are the ready, Manchester? ALL: Yes!
Good stuff. Here's tonight's first competitor.
Daisuke Miura, a 30-year-old ballet teacher from Wales.
I've been dancing for 13 years.
I would like to bring the grace of dancing into the course.
Not just this - something more beautiful.
If I fail in the first round,
I'll apologise to the rest of the dancers!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
The clock starts when the beam is broken.
(BLEEP)
He should be light on his feet. Oh!
(LAUGHS)
All that training has done you no good whatsoever!
This is overconfidence. You see?
He's thought, 'I'll go through them no problem.'
And then he dives just like a swan.
(LAUGHS)
Daisuke with a diabolical performance.
He's a ballet dancer. That was definitely a nut cracker!
Our next competitor Christie Wright is a midwife. She's 28.
She wants to challenge the pre-conception
that midwives sit around all day eating biscuits.
Well, let's home she's not crying like a baby at the end.
She takes on the quintuple steps first.
(BLEEP)
She's taking her time. All three steps.
The first one was good.
She holds on. That's not bad. The grip's good.
With her feet, she's in control.
She knows what she's doing and she's comfortable.
She did really well there.
She hits the log grip. This could be difficult for her.
She's gone for the handles. She's got her thumb on the top...
Her legs are low...
She's so unlucky, because she was too low.
You've got to hug like you love it.
I tried to do an over-the-top grip with my fingers,
just to prep for the drop,
but I should have just hugged it really tight.
Next up is 33-year-old firefighter Andrew Everett.
I've always wanted to help people. Firefighting gives me the opportunity to do that.
Since I knew I was on Ninja Warrior,
I've practised my grip strength,
trying to climb on anything I can, doing pull-ups.
So I practised and practised. Hopefully it will help me a lot.
Andrew, I know you're a firefighter. Wahoo to the firefighters!
But a little birdie tells me that you're scared of heights.
How are you going to tackle that?
I have got a slight fear of heights,
but it's the obstacles I'm scared of.
A fireman scared of heights? I don't want to be in a block of flats when he comes.
(BLEEP)
Takes on the quintuple steps.
Good start. Grab the top as high as you can,
make sure your feet are low on those red marks. He's done that perfectly.
On to the log grip.
It's all about where his legs are.
The grip's shorter than the normal grip.
Brilliant. And a good pace, Chris.
If his hands touch the stone, he's out.
Just be careful...
Whoa! Ohh!
He put his hands on it and that is the end.
Looked like he was on fire there, but it all came apart.
What do you think went wrong?
I started wobbling on it, legs started going all over the place,
lost the confidence, and then went down.
Your family are here as well.
Sometimes you think that might put you off a little.
Yeah, definitely feeling the pressure there.
Thank you so much. Give it up for Andrew.
Let's meet our next contestant.
This is Chante Gibson, a law student from Surrey.
She's 19, our youngest competitor this week.
She's also competed in the National Cheerleading Championships.
She looks like a cheerleader. She's got long legs.
That helps her stride across perfectly.
She's got no problems with that bottom red marker.
Ooh, she's too high. Goes a long way across.
But she's made it. She's OK now.
Those legs are going to benefit her around the log grip.
Now it's all about the grip.
Can she get those legs up?
Chante, you certainly have!
Get ready for the drop... Ohh!
No! Chante! No!
Our cheerleader's gone in. She's the youngest contestant.
Currently the wettest as well!
Chante, come in. Come in.
A spectacular start, and a spectacular finish too!
What do you think happened on the log grip?
I just didn't have strong enough legs.
I was so going for it! (LAUGHS)
I have to say, as glamorous as ever, thanks for coming down tonight.
And thanks for bringing the sparkle! You go and get dry.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Staying with the glamour, next is international model Franky Vincentio.
Being a model and looking good go hand in hand.
The fact that I stay in shape all year round
I feel that has put me a couple of steps above the rest.
Ninja Warrior total victory. I'm coming for you.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Kammy, you must know him from the model circuit. We work together lots!
Can he fashion out a good performance on our course?
Look at those long legs. He's comfortable and casual.
To the log grip-
He's a big fella. Goes for the highest one.
He wipes those hands just to make sure everything's good.
He's changed his mind. Is that the right thing to do?
No, not at all. He needs to be strong now.
And he was strong there.
That was perfect.
That's fine. It's just like stepping onto a step. (LAUGHS)
You're getting good at this!
Now, then, hold your feet, Franky.
He's fine, he's fine.
He took a chance.
Franky Vincentio is putting on quite a show.
Now, then, for the jump hang.
Momentum. Make sure.
You need to get a good spring.
(CHEERING) No problem, Chris.
Now get your legs up.
So as he comes down, that's when the grip starts to burn,
the forearms burn.
Get your legs back up! just touching the water means you're out.
He's fine. He's composed himself.
There we go. Little wipe of the hair.
The models always have to look good!
Just like you.
He's doing a few sit-ups.
A bit of respect for the course, Franky. Don't count your chickens.
The curtain slider.
Now, this is the one. He gets it all tucked in.
He is against the clock here, Chris.
Oh, he's sliding now!
How's he going to get a swingback from here?
He could be going for a dunk, Kammy.
He's trying to get that swing momentum going. Come on, Franky!
Use the legs! Use the legs!
He's stuck in no-man's-land. He knows it!
He's on the way. He's on the way out!
His girlfriend knows it! He's on the way out!
It's over.
If you chucked a few bubbles in there, he could model some shampoo
the way he's messing around now!
Franky was looking so stylish. just. No momentum on the curtain slider}.
It's curtains for Franky.
'But some competitors hardly even made out of the starting blocks.'
So, Rebecca Mussenden...
Oh! Oh! (LAUGHS)
This is Chizzy Inyang. This is the hardest one for her.
If she gets over this, she'll be fine.
Ohh!
Angela Fegan. She's our smallest competitor.
Ohh! No! Angela!
Come on, Ross! Keep going! He's going too quick!
But he made it! Oh, no! (LAUGHS)
How can he get all the way across and then go backwards?
Ben, I need a break.
OK. The old man needs a lie-down. We'll be right back.
(APPLAUSE)
Welcome back to Ninja Warrior UK,
the biggest, baddest assault course ever built.
As plenty of our competitors are finding out,
it takes more than black pyjamas and a face mask to be a ninja.
Next to take on the course are '80s style enthusiasts
Justin and Maxwell.
It's a friendship based on one-upmanship.
I entered because he entered.
Training has been unique. At the local park.
Doing some workouts.
Weaknesses? Massive lack of upper body strength.
That would be them. Nothing there. And lactose intolerance.
I'd describe myself as a bit of a muppet.
Currently single.
I'm gonna smash this course and I'm gonna do it looking good.
First up, it's Justin.
He's got the moves like Jagger.
Has he got the feet to match?
He's got his Sunday best on.
Justin! In he goes!
He's tanking.
Oh, dear, oh, dear. He just went too quick.
Maxwell can't believe it.
It's dry-clean only, that suit.
So the second half of the worst Wham! tribute band in the world...
steps up.
Is the performance gonna be bad?
Is he a comedy sketch?
He's pretending.
There's pace there, he's gone quick but got away with it.
He's got further than Andrew Ridgeley his mate.
Loving the suit by the way.
You've having that suit.
As soon as he finishes.
He's made it.
Stay down.
Beyond all the odds...
He's a big tall boy. This could prove very difficult.
This is the one that could catch him out.
He's OK.
I desperately want to see him do the jump hang.
Come on, now. He can't believe he's made it this far.
Come on, Maxwell.
He said his upper body strength is terrible.
Let's see how he does here.
Yes!
(HOOTER)
Oh, no.
(LAUGHS)
It was a good effort. A great effort from our Wham! tribute band.
I overshot the last step on the quad steps.
I missed a net.
Like a muppet.
If Justin and Maxwell loved the '80s,
I shudder to think what this guy is into.
Daniel, you are definitely one for standing out from the crowd.
What can I say? I just do me.
If that stands me out from the crowd then so be it.
Mentally there are no boundaries.
I can bend a horseshoe with my bare hand.
I can solve a Rubik's Cube in a minute and a half.
I can count any number.
I can count to any number.
I have a penchant for Beethoven.
♪ Beethoven
Listen here, Ninja Warrior course.
You should have stayed in bed cos this ain't your day.
You're going down, it's over.
He's obviously feeling very confident.
Argh! Put it back on!
He is gonna stop, Kammy, isn't he?
This is obscene.
Barn ham...
(LAUGHS)
Daniel...
in leopard print...
(CHANTING) Daniel! Daniel!
What's he got?
The log grip-
Has he got the strength and power here?
Ready for the jolt.
He's fine.
Look at that, contempt.
Contempt for the crowd.
We come to the dancing stones.
He's a martial artist
so his balance should be good.
(CHANTING) Daniel! Daniel!
The crowd didn't do him any harm.
Where is he going?
He's in trouble.
He's settled down.
Impertinence there as well.
This is the one.
Once he's made it onto there, he's there.
There we go!
It's all about the jump. Focus on the jump.
Is he gonna make it?
He's looking at the net.
Don't look at the net, Daniel.
Look at the trampoline.
That is a great spring.
Look at him.
Look at the contempt to the crowd.
Hey, I'm the man.
Comes down to upper body strength.
He is powerfully built.
Can't touch the water.
Water is very close.
He's fine.
He's beautiful.
He's been the king of the swingers so far.
Worried about the curtain slider?
You may be strong
but you need momentum for that curtain to take you across.
One step back and one step forward.
He's holding both hands.
He's in trouble already.
He's a goner.
Swim for it.
He doesn't want to quit.
Dwindling away.
Come on now, Daniel.
You've talked a good game.
He's been showing off all the way.
(HOOTER)
He talked the talk
but he just couldn't swing the swing.
I said it, you need momentum.
Will they never listen?
Next up is Wolverine.
Surely this superhero is gonna nail it.
This is all a bit scary.
How would Wolverine approach this course?
He's smoke a cigar at the end.
Slice it up
on the way.
I used to be a werewolf, Ben, but I'm all right nowwwwwwwww...
I'm so sorry, everybody.
Right.
One step, one step...
JD!
Looks like an X Man.
Too fast.
Too eager.
Sadly now he's just an ex-competitor.
No fancy dress for Lucy Tyler.
But that doesn't mean she hasn't got a special skill.
I'm a maths teacher in a secondary school in Dagenham.
Outside school, I play roller derby which is a pretty fierce
all-women sport on roller skates.
To take part in roller derby
every aspect of your body needs to be strong.
You need to skate as fast as you can so you need strong legs.
You need to be really tough. Every part of your body could be hit.
You need to make sure it's as strong as possible.
(CHEERING)
Let's see how she gets on on the quintuple steps.
(BEEP)
Whoa!
Goodness me.
She's a swinger.
It's an alternative rhythm she's going for.
She's grabbing on for dear life.
She's not the most stylish.
But it's effective.
Go on, Lucy.
So...
In a pretty unique style.
I dread to think what she'll do with the log grip.
Get them fingers in the right places.
And get them legs up.
Get them legs up, come on.
Oh, no, she's too low.
She's a goner.
(LAUGHS)
Chris, she failed miserably.
But was thoroughly entertaining.
She was like a tumble dryer where you just throw the washing in.
Just couldn't get a hold. It was so big.
So big, my arms were so little.
I just couldn't hang on.
But even if they do hang on,
the next steps could be their last.
Has he really got green hair, Ben?
It's Kermit the ninja.
Oh, no!
Kermit takes a tumble.
Luke Allen is our next wannabe ninja.
He's actually designed a digital computer version of Ninja Warrior
to train on.
He's...
Oh, no!
He said he knew the course better than anyone.
Didn't know it himself.
This is Graeme Mclvor.
He's doing one step at a time which is very difficult.
Oh!
He's the first person we've seen do one step at a time.
Unfortunately... It was one step too many.
Matt, you've been doing a lot of training for this?
I've been training two or three times a day.
Yeah, I have indeed.
That is a lot of training.
What obstacle are you most confident about?
Good, I love that.
Positive thinking. Matt, go and take your place.
Everyone, give it up for Matt, please.
(CHEERING)
Next up, Matt.
Lives in Ballymeena, Northern Ireland.
That is good grip.
That is superb.
The legs are low but he's got them back.
He's got them back.
He was good. He recovered well.
He knew that he was in problems for a second.
He looks confident.
This is the one where he comes through.
He's fine.
To the jump hang now.
If his hair touches the water he gets disqualified.
What a great spring.
What a wonderful spring.
He got his foot caught which is great,
just takes pressure off his arms.
As gravity pulls him down
his forearms are burning.
Now that hair needs to stay out of the water.
Don't let that long hair touch the Water.
The slightest touch and he's out.
He's OK, Ben.
His body strength will get him through.
We're onto the curtain slider.
One more obstacle to go.
The curtain.
Grab the back of the curtain and give yourself momentum,
Beautiful.
He's onto the second.
Come on now, Matt.
He's got the power.
This one is gonna be fine.
Don't lose it.
Come on, Matt.
Yes!
He's at the wall.
Is he gonna make it up?
He goes straight away. He's tall enough.
Compose yourself, man.
Two more to go.
Slow down.
(CHEERING)
You beauty!
(CHEERING)
He did it.
That looked tough.
Yeah, it felt tough.
Oh.
Tougher than you though it would be?
Honestly, yeah.
I thought it would be easy. It was not easy.
You finished the course with a fantastic time
of two minutes and five seconds.
Give it up for our ninja Viking.
Well done.
We're gonna take a short break.
When we come back we'll see who's next
to take on this extraordinary course.
(CHEERING)
Welcome back to Ninja Warrior UK.
Now, it's only when you get this close that you realise how difficult the course really is.
Now, they've got to run up here, jump on this,
throw themselves at the net and make their way across without touching the water.
Now, a lot of tonight's Ninja wannabes have fallen foul of this obstacle.
Robert's got to go high to reach the cargo net.
Oh!
Not high enough.
Chris Sansom up next.
Oh!
He's a 21-year-old student.
Yes! Oh, no!
Now, concentrate on that trampoline.
Here she goes.
No!
Lift-off.
Oh, no!
No.
Oh, Richard, Richard, Richard!
(CHEERING)
But will the next competitor even reach the jump Hang?
34 years old. She's a pole fitness instructor.
She might pick a pocket or two.
Fegan, not Fagin!
Let's see how she gets on with the quintuple steps.
She looks the part. Cat-like.
You can see that upper-body strength.
Look where the feet land on that bottom rung.
And she's fine. That gives her control.
OK. So, We come to the Log Grip.
She's got to get her feet high. She's used to pole fitness.
This shouldn't be a problem.
She's gone for the lower handles. She's wrapped the legs round tight.
And she's through. No problem with the little jerk.
Now, what about the Dancing Stones?
Steady. This is the one that causes the problems.
But she's fine. If you stand in the middle, you have a good chance.
Be quick, now. She's fine. She's cruising now,
because the top step's comfortable for her.
So, we hit the jump Hang. It's all about the jump.
(KLAXON)
It was a stunning performance from our pole fitness instructor,
right up till the jump Hang.
Sadly, she didn't quite have enough.
Next, a whole brigade of fire-fighters who fancied themselves as Ninja Warriors.
And Caroline reckons she can do it hands-down.
She's 38. She's from Fife in Scotland.
I'll have a bit of that.
Oh, she's high up, as well. That's very good.
Climb your way up. That's fine.
So, she comes to the Log Grip.
She's on.
Strong legs. Ready for the jolt.
So, Martin's up next.
41, from Northampton.
Like Caroline, Martin makes light work of those steps.
Here we go. Is the little jerk going to get him off?
Yes, it is!
That's one fireman who needed a lift.
My grip just went. Little hands. Couldn't get hold of it.
36-year-old Darren is known as the Ginger Ninja.
He's not very ginger, but is he very Ninja?
Oh... yes!
He's there. Well played!
He's pulled it out of the fire.
But the heat is still on.
He's reached the Dancing Stones, just like Caroline.
Forward momentum. Now, go for it.
(CHEERING)
Can Darren follow in her footsteps?
He's a big fan of Frozen, is our Darren.
This is the one that's causing problems.
Oh! No.
♪ Let it go
You can't use your hands.
'Let it go'? He shouldn't have grabbed it in the first place.
That was the one I was worried about. Maybe I thought too much about it.
So, Caroline is the last fire-fighter still in the fight. But for how long?
Come on, Caroline!
Get your composure.
The jump is important. Spring!
Oh!
She lost it on the jump Hang. Nowhere near the cargo net.
No, there was no spring at all there.
Sadly, it's all over for our fire-fighter from Fife.
So far, only Matt has made it to the top of the Warped Wall,
and that puts him at the top of the leader board.
Behind him are those who have made it furthest along the course.
But there are a lot more competitors left to run,
and with just ten places in the semis, not even Matt is safe.
The next two competitors are not just battling against the course -
they're competing against each other.
It's 61-year-old Geoffrey Trigg and his son Dion.
I'm a Ninja Warrior super-fan. I've put so much of my life into this.
Ninja Warrior is part of my DNA.
I've had my own facility built to train for Ninja Warrior.
I've been training with my dad for years.
Well done.
Looking forward to running the course together.
I'm one of a handful of artisan tailors outside London
that still makes a traditional bespoke suit.
Since finding out I'm going to be on the show,
I've had to start doing press-ups while making the coffee.
Although I love my dad to bits, I really hope it's me that goes the furthest.
I'm 61 and most people think that, at that age, it's a ridiculous idea.
But I'm going to show them that it's not.
(APPLAUSE)
Now, Dion. Any words of wisdom for your dad?
Yeah, take it steady, and you've got this.
'You've got this.' Ah, great words of advice.
Now, I'm going to have to split you up, so Geoffrey can take up his position.
Everybody, give it up once more for Geoffrey, please!
(CHEERING) Good luck.
So, is tailor Geoff made to measure up as a Ninja?
Come on, Trigger!
What's Trigger got?
Oh, three steps. He's very sharp across there.
That's good.
Now, he's going for the higher one, which is good.
Now you've got to show your strength and cling on to this log.
Good...
Oh, no!
Sadly, not quite enough strength.
That tailor's come apart at the seams.
The log grip definitely doesn't suit him, sir.
Geoffrey, come over here.
Come in.
Oh, don't hug me! Oh, of course you did!
How was that for you? That was awesome.
It's been a great experience.
Have you now got any advice for your son?
Hold on tight and smash it. Well, let's see how Dion gets on.
He built his own Ninja Warrior gym, specifically.
One step... Oh, he was losing it slightly there.
So he reassessed, which is very good.
This is one time he doesn't want to follow in his father's footsteps.
Cling on as tight as you can.
OK. He's beaten his old man.
He's got great strength. Geoffrey's delighted.
He comes to the Dancing Stones.
Now, he's getting ready for the middle of the stones. That's important.
The middle of the stones.
Now, the crouch position helps some.
He's OK. He's got the balance back. This is the tricky one.
(CHEERING)
Oh, brilliant!
With a roll at the end! We're loving that.
Look at that trampoline.
Make sure that you get enough height from that spring.
Yes, he's there! A yelp as he made it, as well.
Now, get those feet up.
He's doing OK. He's just testing us, Ben!
I'd rather he wasn't testing us and he'd get off that cargo net!
He's fine. Don't worry about that.
So, coming to the Curtain Slider.
CROWD: Dion! Dion!
Come on, Dion.
Yes. There's the step back and the forward spring.
He's got to get his hands across. Now he needs to build the momentum.
No posing in the middle! just get yourself across.
Get yourself across. Oh, he's gone again!
He's swinging back. He's fine.
There we go - to the Warped Wall.
Dion Trigg. Is he going to make it up to the top?
This is where you've got to maintain that focus.
(CROWD CHANTING)
Ooh, yes! He's done it!
Wooh-hoe!
(CHEERS)
He powered up that wall. Look at the determination.
Nothing was going to stand in his way.
Well done. How was it?
It's been an honour to be able to take on the Ninja Warrior course.
It's a big passion of mine and... sorry. It means a lot to me.
You have done an incredible job, Dion.
We've got somebody to join you. Come on in, Geoffrey!
It's getting quite emotional up here.
I'm so proud of him. Goodness me! It is emotional.
So, congratulations. You've completed our heat in 3 minutes 40 seconds.
Well done!
Dion's made it up the wall, but will anyone else?
There's plenty more still to come on Ninja Warrior UK.
(APPLAUSE)
(WHISTLING) Welcome back to Ninja Warrior UK.
It is the first heat. We are here at the foot of Mount Midoriyama.
This is what it's all about. This is the ultimate challenge
that our wannabe Ninjas will face if they make it to the final.
Tonight's competitors are already battling it out
for one of those semi-final places and the standard is really high. I
We've seen some amazing performances, brilliant athletes
and spectacular dives worthy of Tom Daley.
Ninja cowboy Max Reeves, Kammy?
He's gone for the lower one.
Now he's gotta hold on tight. When the...
Oooh! (APPLAUSE)
So this is Karen Ward.
Ready for the jolt here, Karen.
Oh! No!
(APPLAUSE)
What will Sally have for us?
Here it is. Now watch the jolt.
Oh, no. Whoa!
Sally! Sally!
So Victoria Williams. The grip is good.
Legs, reasonably high.
You know, she's only small.
There's the jolt.
Oh! She nearly made it.
That was so unlucky.
This is Oliver Griffiths. Those trousers could be a bit dodgy,
because they might be slidey.
Oh, no, Oliver.
(APPLAUSE) Could the curse of the Log Grip be broken?
It's wood versus stone.
Stonemasons are craftsmen, one of the oldest trades known to man.
We turn rough bits of stone into intricate pieces of masonry.
Being a stonemason, is it important to stay fit, would you say?
No, not at all?
No, I'm the fittest guy in that yard by a long shot.
The other guys at work think I'm mad for doing this course,
but turns out I'm the only man for the job.
(CHEERING)
Well, if anyone knows how to break through this wall,
it's our super brickie. (CHEERING)
Let's see how Steve gets on with the Quintuple Steps.
(CHEERING) Two steps, three steps. That's good.
That's confident. He's skipping across there. Beautiful.
Now how's he gonna get on with our Log Grip?
Going for the higher handles.
Now he's gotta get his legs up.
They're a bit low once again. Be strong on the jolt.
He's strong on the jolt. (CHEERING) Very strong.
Ooh, nearly knocked him back into the water.
OK, the Dancing Stones.
(CHEERING)
Steady. He can't use his hands.
(CHEERING) He's over it. Right. To the jump Hang.
It's all about height on the trampoline.
(CHEERING) Now he's on his way.
He's on the cargo net. Get those feet up now. That's it.
(CHEERING)
Gravity's dragging him down.
His T-shirt can't go near the water.
If anything touches the water, he's disqualified.
He's made it over. (CHEERING)
(WHISTLING)
He's onto the Curtain Slider.
It's about grip strength now.
One. He's gone across one to the second.
Come on now, Steve. Go on, Steve. Power!
Come on now, Steve. Nearly there!
(CHEERING) Steve's made it to the Warped Wall, Kammy.
Here he comes to the Warped Wall.
Beat the wall! Beat the wall!
Beat the wall!
Beat the wall! Beat the wall!
Beat the wall!
(CHEERING) Yes! He's made it!
(CHEERING)
(KLAXON) Steve Lebourn, you beauty!
(CHEERING)
Woo! Steve! Steve, everybody!
(CHEERING)
(WHISTLING) How about that, sir?
How does that feel? Chuffed to bits, like, innit?
He's definitely through into the semi-finals.
(CHEERING)
So Steve's time of 1:37
puts him at the top of
the leader board.
El Fegan and Caroline Lech are the only two women
still in with a chance of making it through tonight.
Can they hang on or will one of the next competitors steal their place?
This is Tim Champion.
He's definitely got designs on a place in the semi-finals.
Here we go, to the Curtain Slider.
Our trainee aircraft engineer. There's the push. Flies across.
Hits the third curtain. That was easy. No problems. Tidy as, Kammy.
So to the Wall.
Oh, I fancy this boy like no tomorrow.
Beat the wall! Beat the wall! Oh!
(CHEERING) Champion by name, champion by nature. (KLAXON)
A fantastic time of 1:59 means
he's definitely one to watch for the semi-final.
So, Peter, you're a singer. Am.
Can you give us a little line? Yeah, here we go.
♪ He-e-e-e-ey, baby!
♪ Ooh! Ha!
♪ I wanna kno-o-o-o-o-o-ow
♪ If you'll be my girl ♪
(CHEERING) I will. I will.
Thank God he didn't do my wedding.
(LAUGHS)
Here he goes. Oh, one step, one step, one step.
Oh! That's as good as it gets, Ben.
That's as good as it gets.
Confident. Thumbs are across the top of the handles.
He's made it.
Now onto the Stones.
Moving onto the Stones. Ooh!
It's all right, he's composed himself.
Some serious wobble there. Right, here we go. This is electric.
Oh!
The wedding singer started off fast and confident
but ended up wet and out of the running.
But one man definitely still in the game is gas engineer Corbin Mackin.
(CHEERING)
If you smell gas, it just means he's nervous, Ben (!) (LAUGHS)
There's the step back and the forward momentum. That's superb.
That's superb. Well done, Corbin.
Corbin's there.
One obstacle to go.
He's here at the Warped Wall.
The Warped Wall. Beat the wall.
Oh, Corbin! Beat the wall! Concentrate.
Lean back and stretch. Three steps and leap.
One, two, three. Yeah!
Go on, Corbin! (CHEERING)
(KLAXON)
So Corbin finishes the course with a victory belly roll
and he's the fourth to conquer the Warped Wall tonight.
Will 19-year-old student Presh Muhuntan be the fifth?
Beat the wall! Beat the wall!
Beat the wall, come on now.
One, two, three. Ooh!
What happened there, Ben, is he's leaning forward.
Right, slow down. Get your breath back, Presh.
We're with you all the way.
One, two, three... Oh!
He's still a way away.
Beat the wall! Beat the wall!
This is the last chance for Presh.
Beat the wall! Beat the wall! He needs to lean back, Ben.
Lean back. Take your time, Presh.
Get yourself through here. Beat the wall! Beat the wall!
Beat the wall!
Yes! Good man!
(CHEERING) Look at that for determination and willpower.
(KLAXON) That is what it's all about.
(CHEERING)
Six of the best have made it to the top of the Warped Wall
and take the top spots on an all-male leader board.
It's time to meet the last competitor of the night.
Can she make her mark?
If anyone can, Katie can.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(WHISTLING)
I started freerunning back in 2010,
so nearly five years ago now.
In freerunning, you're training in new places all the time,
all over the world, so I approach an obstacle,
even though it's something I haven't tried before,
I think I'll adapt and be able to work out a technique for doing it.
I think my dad's probably my biggest fan.
I often my YouTube videos coming out of his office in our house.
'Dad, are you watching my videos again?'
I would like to think that I could complete the Ninja Warrior course,
but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
(CHEERING)
And there's Katie's dad.
But will he be watching replays of this?
(CHEERING)
(WHISTLING)
(CHEERING)
You can tell freerunning's her passion. No problem leaping.
(CHEERING)
She's got to make sure she holds on tight.
How high are the legs going? Oh, look at that. She's in great shape.
She's in great shape. Well done. Superb.
(CHEERING) You can see her friends in the audience cheering her on.
That was superb. Balance won't be a problem.
She'll be fine on this one and confident, Ben. 100% confident.
(APPLAUSE)
(CHEERING)
Now she's on her way.
That's fantastic. That's meat and drink for a freerunner.
Come on, Katie, I'm with you all the way.
Beautiful. Yes. Beautiful. (CHEERING)
Great. Beautiful.
(CHEERING)
She's fine. Look at that.
Our first female competitor to make it over the jump, Kammy.
That is brilliant. That is a cracking performance.
This is great to see.
This is superb. Right.
We've tested her agility. What about her grip?
Swinging is what this is all about.
Swing with the curtain.
Here she goes. Come on now.
Reach it. Yes. Oh, yes. Superb.
(CHEERING) There's no problem there.
She's brilliant. Come on. Come on. Come on!
Get the next one, Katie. Come on, Katie.
Come on! Yes. Come on now. You're nearly there. She's fine.
She's there. Come on. Yeah. Swing across. That's brilliant.
Come on, Katie. Come on, Katie. Katie hits the wall.
Beat the wall!
Beat the wall! Beat the wall!
Beat the wall!
Are we going to have our first female contestant up the Warped Wall?
Beat the wall!
Off you go. Off you go. Up you go, Katie.
Yes! Go on, Katie! Yes! Come on!
Get in! Yes, Katie! (KLAXON)
(CHEERING)
Give it up for Katie, everybody!
How are you feeling? I actually really didn't expect to get here.
Katie, you're our first female competitor
to get through the heat. (CHEERING)
Your dad and your boyfriend, give them a big smile.
They're delighted for you.
Katie, we're delighted as well.
You're through to the semi-finals!
(CHEERING) Great stuff.
So here are tonight's ten semi-finalists...
and Julian Davis, Franky Vincentio and Daniel Strauss
take the last three semi-final places,
having made it further along the course than anyone else.
(CHEERING)
So that's how it looks after the first heat.
Who'll be joining them? Another 50 extraordinary people
testing themselves against the toughest obstacle course on TV.
Right now on ITV, it's Britain's Got Talent.
We'll see you again next week
as the hunt for the UK's first Ninja Warrior continues.
Good night! Good night! (CHEERING)
