Have you ever wondered if any of the Finger Tips makes have gone wrong? Or what about how the pair landed such a cool job? Well wonder no more...

We caught up with Stephen and Naomi and quizzed them...

Well, Stephen. How are you? What's it like working on Finger Tips again?
It's a joy to work on. No lie. I really think it's a great show - there are some really good ideas that we get to make. I often do stuff from the show with my nephew and he loves it!

What's your favourite thing you've ever made on the show?
Probably the Spokely Dokelys - they were so easy to make. Which is good for me!

Which makes do you like best?
Ones with glitter and glue!

Very messy! How did you get your current job?
Auditioned like mad. Loads of auditions. You get turned down loads but the important thing is not to give up. Keep trying. And it worked because I'm doing the job I love most in the world.

So you obviously like Finger Tips now. What did you like to watch when you were a kid?
Rentaghost. I thought it was really funny. I like watching My Parents Are Aliens now though.

What was your favourite subject as a kid?
Music.

And what's your favourite item of clothing?
My red and blue shirt...

Swiftly moving on...
(laughs) It's not that bad!

Only joking. What would your favourite meal be then?
Something plain. I don't like spicy food. Probably Fish and Chips.

And your worst meal? Probably something spicy then?
Yes. If someone gave me a hot curry I'd probably die!

Do you own a games console?
Yes. I've got an Xbox. My favourite game has to be the Harry Potter one. I love it.

So if you went to Hogwarts which house would you be in?
Gryffindor of course! I'd want to be friends with Harry. I've met Draco in real life too. Very exciting.

Do you own a cuddly toy?
Yes. I have a Magical Teddy Bear...

How did you land the job presenting Finger Tips?
I sent my showreel and CV to the company who make Finger Tips a long time ago. Then they called me in for an audition. At audition I had to do a science experiment that involved balancing an egg on some salt...

Did it work?
No! But I still got the job on Finger Tips.

What was the most challenging thing about presenting Finger Tips?
Looking happy and relaxed whilst remembering which camera to look at, how to hold the items from the make so the cameras can see them AND assembling the make so it looks beautiful!

What was the best thing about working with Stephen?
He made me laugh loads by doing silly things like painting on my hands rather than on the make. He was very funny trying to put me off all the time.

What was the worst thing about working with Stephen?
That he put me off all the time! No, he was lovely to work with.

Have you got a favourite thing you made on the show?
Definitely the CD Deck it looks just like a record deck and inside there is a place to store all your CDs. My favourite one was the pink one - I loved it so much that I took it home and it's now on display in my flat.

What did you want to be when you were 5?
Either a dancer or a children's presenter, so I guess I'm living the dream.

What are you up to now you've finished recording this series of Finger Tips?
I'm back presenting Milkshake on Channel 5.

You're having a girly night - who's invited?
My good girly mates.

What film are you watching at the girly night?
Probably a lovely romantic comedy or an action thriller. I love Back to the Future, the second one was the best...

Was that the one with the hover boards?
Yeah, and the Self Drying Jackets. Actually, I think we should see if we can make the hover boards on the next series of Finger Tips.

What food are you eating at the girly night?
Spag Bol, but that's not very girly is it?

Finally what tunes are you listening to?
It would have to be cheesey pop - Robbie Williams and Kylie are great. Obviously the CDs would be coming out of the Finger Tips pink CD deck!
