Busy final night for 'Scissorhands' stars

The winners of Celebrity Scissorhands were announced last night during the live Children In Need telethon.

Steve Strange, Scott Mills, Michelle Dewberry, Ortis Deley and Darren Day were thrilled to learn that the public had voted for them to work in the Academy throughout the night. There was no time for celebrations, however, as the celebrities were visited by a string of stars and members of the public who wanted to receive hair and beauty treatments from the winning participants.

Surprise arrivals included How Clean Is Your House stars Kim and Aggie, Two Pints actresses Natalie Casey and Kathryn Drysdale, as well as Bad Girl Vicky Alcock.

BBC Executive Alan Yentob also came through the Academy doors to receive a leg wax, an experience which he described as "very, very strange", while X Factor judge Sharon Osbourne decided to make some changes of her own by starting to shave Darren Day's chest.

Finally, in the climax of the series, Steve Strange set a new world record for the number of heads shaved in an hour, bringing the new total to 34. He was then presented with a certificate by an official from the Guinness Book of Records.
