Junior Taskmaster

It's the first semi-final, which means we're getting dangerously close to finding out who'll be taking home Junior Taskmaster Rose Matafeo's golden bonce. The contestants are on tenterhooks, Rose is scrutinising their every move, and Rose's assistant Mike Wozniak has even combed his moustache. Our semi-finalists perform a poem about their favourite celebrity and tell some secrets to a milkman called Mark.
