Will Gao: OK. I’m just gonna stress eat now.
Corinna Brown: Oi! What are you doing?!
Tobie Donovan: No. OK, no, guys.
Kit Connor: Urrgh!
[laughter]
Yasmin Finney: Hello, everyone. We’re the ‘Heartstopper’ cast. And today we’ll be doing the apron interview.
Tobie Donovan: So basically, today, these guys are gonna be decorating some cakes based on different ‘Heartstopper’ characters, and I’m gonna judge and choose which one is the best.
[whimsical music playing]
Tobie Donovan: OK, everyone. You’ve got 10 minutes. Your time starts … now!
Kizzy Edgell: I’m excited. Going straight for this.
Rhea Norwood: There’s two types of artists. One to contemplate …
Kizzy Edgell: Yeah.
Yasmin Finney: And one to just do it.
Rhea Norwood: And one to go straight in.
Tobie Donovan: We’ve got loads of sweets from lots of different countries around the world that these guys are gonna be putting on their cakes.
Kizzy Edgell: We’ve got French sweets, which I’m excited to try.
Will Gao: I’m going for the one from the Netherlands.
Rhea Norwood: Oh yeah, they’re good, those.
Will Gao: Are these good? He breaketh the bread.
Tobie Donovan: I’m gonna be asking you some questions, by the way, while you do this.
Rhea Norwood: What was your favorite Season 3 scene to film?
Kizzy Edgell: Feeding giraffes.
Kit Connor: Actually, you know what was really fun? The New Year’s party scene, and we were all … Uh, it was us, and, like, a lot of SAs, and then Will let off the stinkiest fart …
Corinna Brown: Oh, it was so stinky.
Kit Connor: … I’ve ever, ever, ever come across. And everyone genuinely, like, needed gas masks. It was awful.
Rhea Norwood: OK, what do you think makes Season 3 different to Season 1 and 2?
Will Gao: Season 3 … more sexy time.
[laughter]
Rhea Norwood: I love you, Will.
Tobie Donovan: Corinna, um, Tara … Tara is known for being really good at ballet.
Corinna Brown: Yep.
Tobie Donovan: I think you’re quite a good dancer too.
Corinna: Yep.
Tobie Donovan: What’s your favorite dance move?
[upbeat music plays]
[Tobie] Unh, unh, unh, unh.
Kit Connor: OK, so she’s not that good, then.
[laughter]
Corinna Brown: You’re just jealous, Kit.
Kizzy Edgell: Will, yours is so gorgeous.
Rhea Norwood: Will’s doing some really great, like, modern abstract art. We’ve got realism on this end, and then —
Will Gao: We’ve got two minutes? What?! No.
Rhea Norwood: We’ve got two minutes left, guys.
Yasmin Finney: Ooh!
Tobie Donovan: I’d really like a waffle from France, please.
Joe Locke: They’re the Netherlands.
Tobie Donovan: I’d really love a waffle from the Netherlands, please.
Joe Locke: These are amazing. These are, like, some of my favorite things.
Rhea Norwood: What is one moment throughout all three series that you’ll, like, never ever forget?
Yasmin Finney: Filming in the Louvre.
Will Gao: That was big.
Tobie Donovan: Corinna.
Corinna Brown: Yo.
Tobie Donovan: What’s your favorite outfit that you’ve worn this season?
Corinna Brown: Ooh. I really liked, um, the ballet outfit. That was cute. It was, like, purple.
Tobie Donovan: OK, yeah, yeah. The tutu.
Corinna Brown: It was very Tara.
Rhea Norwood: So it’s about finishing touches, guys.
Will Gao: Aagh!
Yasmin Finney: Yeah, OK. Once this wrapper will open.
Rhea Norwood: I’m gonna do my Mary Berry.
[clock ticking]
Will Gao: Final touches. What do I do? Gummy bears.
Tobie Donovan: Ten seconds left!
Corinna Brown: Get another one!
Rhea Norwood: Two, one! And that is done! Step away from your cakes. Step away.
Tobie Donovan: … one. Hands behind your back!
[screams]
Tobie Donovan: Hands behind your back! Put your hands behind your back. Wow. I mean, there's cakes that are on plates.
Rhea Norwood: Yasmin, step away from the cakes.
[upbeat whimsical music playing]
Tobie Donovan: First up is Netflix star Kit Connor.
Kit Connor: So, um, it's made with probably, like, eggs and milk and stuff like that.
Joe Locke: Did you make the cake?
Kit Connor: Um, there’s icing, um, on it. There’s some black sweets. There’s some more icing, and there’s some stroopwafels.
Joe Locke: Tori.
Kit Connor: It’s a lemonade glace.
Rhea Norwood: Will, that's incredible. I feel like there’s a metaphor.
[Will gasps]
Will Gao: Oh no! Wait, that doesn’t count.
Yasmin Finney: Yeah, you’ve lost a mark now.
Rhea Norwood: Take two.
Yasmin Finney: That is very cool. It’s very artsy.
Rhea Norwood: Well, for me, there’s … OK, so there’s a divide ’cause there’s a sort of yin and yang sort of feel to it.
Will Gao: Yes, there’s a divide and there’s a symmetry.
Kizzy Edgell: Maybe it’s Nick's bisexuality.
Rhea Norwood: Is it Nick?
Will Gao: It is Nick. We have bisexuality as a theme.
Corinna Brown: OK, so this cake is a little extra. It likes a lot of pink, all the things.
Tobie Donovan: Yeah.
Corinna Brown: Um, it’s … Yeah, it’s got it all going on.
Tobie Donovan: Yours is Imogen. It also looks like it really believes in allyship.
Corinna Brown: Yeah.
Rhea Norwood: Yas, are you ready?
Yasmin Finney: Yeah. What I’m gonna have to do is just quickly just …
Rhea Norwood: No. Step away from the cake, Yas.
Yasmin Finney: Sorry, just —
Will Gao: Step away from the cake!
Yasmin Finney: This character is very dear to my heart.
Rhea Norwood: Mm hmm.
Yasmin Finney: Terrible at art, but, um, very emotional.
Will Gao: I’m getting “ran out of time.”
Yasmin Finney: A lot of art and … Oh! No shade.
Rhea Norwood: There’s a tear from the eyes in there. So there’s, you know …
Yasmin Finney: Maybe they’re on the verge of finding themselves. Maybe they find out that they like to make certain things.
Rhea Norwood: From what you’ve said, I think it’s … it might be Tao. No?
Yasmin Finney: Yeah, it is Tao. Yeah.
Tobie Donovan: Joe-joe.
Joe Locke: So, um, I went for realism with my cake.
[Corinna laughing]
Tobie Donovan: You’re laughing now, but you won’t be when you get no points.
Joe Locke: And I … I … You know, I’ve used icing, a stroopwafel.
Tobie Donovan: Yeah.
Joe Locke: A … a Hi-Chew.
Tobie Donovan: And all of my favorite colors.
Joe Locke: And all of Tobie’s favorite colors. Which are colors. Tobie loves color.
Corinna Brown: So much.
Joe Locke: If you couldn’t tell.
Rhea Norwood: Kizz?
Kizzy Edgell: I’m really proud of this.
Rhea Norwood: Hey!
Yasmin Finney: Wow.
Kizzy Edgell: Do you have any idea who this is? ’Cause it’s real hard.
Will Gao: Mustache.
Yasmin Finney: That’s like a snowman.
Rhea Norwood: There’s multiple dogs in ‘Heartstopper.’
Kizzy Edgell: That’s true.
Rhea Norwood: So I’m gonna go with Nellie.
Yasmin Finney: I’m gonna go with Nellie.
Will Gao: I’m gonna go with Nellie.
Rhea Norwood: I think that’s great.
[fast-paced whimsical music playing]
Rhea Norwood: I’m gonna say first place goes to … Mr. William Gao.
Will Gao: Oh!
Rhea Norwood: Because I loved the abstract concept.
Will Gao: Oh, thank you.
Rhea Norwood: Um, and, you know, character is within. And I think that’s what this cake exhibits. And then it’s joint second, guys.
Kizzy Edgell: OK.
Rhea Norwood: No … no losers here today.
Kizzy Edgell: Brilliant.
Rhea Norwood: We’re all winners.
Tobie Donovan: My favorite cake is Kit Connor’s cake.
Kit Connor: Oh my God! No. 1 place goes to Kit Connor.
Joe Locke: No. 1.
Tobie Donovan: I think the … I like the black sweets, like Tori’s soul and all of her outfits. I like the lemonade. I’m a little bit disappointed by the waffles and how there’s literally only three of them.
Corinna: They didn’t finish.
Kit Connor: It’s ’cause she stole ’em. She stole ’em, and he …
[Corinna laughing]
Corinna Brown: Oi! What are you doing?!
Tobie Donovan: No. OK, no, guys.
Kit Connor: Urrgh!
[laughter]
Tobie Donovan: In second place is Corinna Brown's incredible Imogen cake. I wasn’t sure if it was Imogen or Darcy ’cause of the chaos.
Corinna Brown: The chaos.
Tobie Donovan: But the pink gave it away as being Imogen. And then, in last place, for such obvious reasons, is this sheer monstrosity.
Joe Locke: Shall we hold it up?
Tobie Donovan: The ugliest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.
Joe Locke: I won’t put it in your face.
Tobie Donovan: It has no representation of me ever.
Will Gao: Although I did win, there are no winners. So congratulations to all involved.
Yasmin Finney: Smell that.
Will Gao: A round of applause.
Rhea Norwood: Ooh.
Kizzy Edgell: Thank you.
Yasmin Finney: Well done.
Will Gao: Thank you so much for watching us do this wonderful exercise of creation.
Tobie Donovan: We hope you’ve enjoyed this video, and make sure you check out ‘Heartstopper’ Season 3 on Netflix.
Corinna Brown: Thank you. Bye —
