00:00Is somebody saying Mel B?
00:11Is he on here?
00:13Mel B! Mel B! Mel B! Mel B!
00:23Mel B! Mel B! Mel B! Mel B! Mel B!
00:33Hello you all!
00:40We are in Blackpool this Friday, are you all good?
00:46Now, I'm always thinking that you used to work in Blackpool.
00:50I used to be a dancer in Blackpool.
00:52My first ever proper job was at the Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
00:55I loved the Blackpool Pleasure Beach!
00:58Are you kidding?
01:00And as a kid, you used to come here from Leeds, over Blackpool to Seaside.
01:03I used to come every year with my mum and dad and my sister
01:07to watch the lights being turned on.
01:10And this year I'm doing it!
01:14And I told you, from one artist to another,
01:17you know, you stand in there and you're watching Ella Henderson do Ghost.
01:20And I can see you, your eyes are putting up.
01:23And my favourite song, How Good Was Ella Henderson?
01:26Oh my God!
01:29So, what are you looking for Mel?
01:32Well, Spice Girls switched on the London lights
01:35and now Mel B's Scary Spice is switching on the Dublin lights!
01:42This switch actually goes to control the lights.
01:45So there are many agents who switch that switch
01:48that hold all of the theatre's lights up.
01:51I won't mess it up, I promise you all.
01:53I know we've all been waiting for a long time for this.
01:56Me too!
01:57This switch went back to the 1930s.
02:00Into the 90s?
02:02Yes.
02:03We'll have to be careful.
02:04Would you like to take a place Mel?
02:06This is old military, this.
02:08You know it Mel.
02:09I think it's time to do it.
02:12Have a look over at Blackpool Tower.
02:15We have the countdown with us.
02:17We raise the countdown everyone as loud as you can.
02:20And we raise it down from 10.
02:22Follow the tower.
02:2410, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
