Season 2, Episode 4
X Factor winner Sam Bailey, Coronation Street star Hayley Tamaddon and gymnast-turned-2012 Strictly Come Dancing champion Louis Smith have a go on the arcade-style token-pushing machine. Dropping counters down a choice of four chutes, the celebrity contestants hope to knock piles of them off a moving shelf - and the more they collect, the better their chances of scooping the £20,000 prize for a charity of their choice.
