I feel like if this blog had a soundtrack, right now we would be playing some sort of epic, X Factor style music. This isn't because it's the X Factor final this weekend (although it is), nor is it because I'm thinking of entering the competition (although I am), but because this week was seriously EPIC, wasn't it?!

From the music to the looks, from those photos to THAT BIT where Marla threatens Toni with the truth, I'm surely not the only one who got little tingles? Experience them all again by watching The Cut week 13 omnibus here.

Also, did anyone spot a little cameo from a certain Mr Tom Deacon offa Ìýthis week? There's some lovely photos of him on set here. I was interested to know how he found the whole experience, so I ran down to the 5:19 studio in our basement to find out. Here is a step by step account of what happened:

Clip clop clip clop clip clop clip clop (not a horse, me running down the stairs - told you it'd be step by step)

ME: TOM!

Tom looks up from his hot chocolate and biscuit that he is using as a straw (yes, I don't know why either)

ME: I just wanted to ask, how did you find it being in The Cut?

TOM: It was...

PRODUCER BETH: Tom, I need to talk to you about today's show!

TOM: It was...

CAMERAMAN BARBERTRON: Tom, we're ready for your pre-record!

TOM: It was...

BISCUIT: Can you stop using me as a straw!*

TOM: It was...

Tom gets up and walks in front of camera, where he's needed for filming. The crew look on expectantly, waiting for his first line...

TOM: It was way more demanding than I thought it would be for one line.

I nod, I leave, I hear the words 'ACTION!' but just as I reach the end of the corridor, I hear the studio door being opened...It is Tom again.

TOM (shouting): But I think I nailed it?

So there we have it. What Tom really thought of his role. Me getting this valuable information may be slightly at the cost of The 5:19 Show that they were recording and for that, I'm sorry.

But I think you'll agree it was worth it.

*this bit may not have actually happened. But in my head it did.

PS. Did you watch The Cut special this week? If not you might want to. Stephen lies, Sarah Williams-White performs and I get dizzy. Immense.
