Tricia Penrose and Tara left the Fame Academy Circle of Fear to perform in the studio for the audience of Comic Relief – The Big One.

Tara made an entrance in red PVC gloves, a thigh-high spilt dress and over the knee boots. She wore her heart on her boots rather than her sleeve tonight with customised boots declaring "I love Red Nose Day".

The judges got into the spirit of Red Nose Day with some warm and fluffy comments.
