- Quotes
Stephen Mulhern: It's the moment you've all been waiting for. Holly Willoughby has agreed to be beheaded by guillotine.
[Holly is standing beside Stephen in a black shoulder-less dress and stiletto heels]
Stephen Mulhern: How are you feeling, Holly?
Holly Willoughby: A bit nervous, Stephen. I can't believe I'm doing this.
[She smiles nervously]
Holly Willoughby: What's going to happen?
Stephen Mulhern: First, we need to slip off your dress.
[He moves behind her]
Stephen Mulhern: That way, everyone can see it really is your lovely body on the guillotine. Here, let me help you.
[Stephen pulls down the zip her her dress]
Stephen Mulhern: There we go.
Holly Willoughby: I wouldn't want people thinking it wasn't me.
[the dress sags, baring her breasts, and showing she's wearing only black thong panties]
Holly Willoughby: And I guess I won't need it after this.
Stephen Mulhern: No, you won't need it anymore.
[He helps her step out of the dress]
Stephen Mulhern: You have lovely boobs, Holly.
Holly Willoughby: Thank you!
[Grins]
Holly Willoughby: Well, now they can see it really is me being beheaded.
Stephen Mulhern: Let's go out onto the stage.
[Placing a hand on her shoulder, Stephen leads Holly out onto the stage, towards the guillotine]
Stephen Mulhern: Here it is - the guillotine you're going to be beheaded by.
Holly Willoughby: [Eyeing the sharp blade] I'm not sure about this...
Stephen Mulhern: Don't worry, it'll all be over soon.
[Raises the board of the guillotine upright]
Holly Willoughby: That's what I'm afraid of!
[She fidgets nervously, still looking at the blade of the guillotine]
Holly Willoughby: What's next?
Stephen Mulhern: We need to make sure you stay still.
[Holds up handcuffs]
Stephen Mulhern: We need to slip these on.
Holly Willoughby: [Nervously holding her hands behind her back to be restrained] Wow... I guess I'm not going anywhere.
[Stephen cinches the cuffs, pats her bottom, and takes hold of her thong]
Stephen Mulhern: Nope. And let's slip this off too.
[He tugs down, pulling her thong off]
Stephen Mulhern: Just step out of that.
[as Holly steps out of it, he tossed it aside]
Stephen Mulhern: Lovely.
[Giving her bottom a pat, he guides Holly to stand against the upright board]
Stephen Mulhern: Next, we strap you into place.
Holly Willoughby: This must be how Marie Antoinette felt!
[Stephen buckles three leather straps across Holly's back, bottom, and knees, holding her in place]
Holly Willoughby: It won't hurt, will it?
Stephen Mulhern: Don't worry, I've done this lots of times before. Nobody ever complained afterwards.
[He laughs]
Stephen Mulhern: Now you're all secured, we can lower you into position for your beheading.
[Stephen takes hold of the board that Holly is strapped to and tilts it forward, dropping her into position below the blade, and closes the stock around her neck]
Holly Willoughby: Oh,!
[Staring down into the basket in front of her]
Holly Willoughby: This is getting really scary!
Stephen Mulhern: It should be Holly - you are about to be beheaded, after all.
Holly Willoughby: Oh!
[Gulps, hands fidgeting]
Holly Willoughby: I think I might be changing my mind.
Stephen Mulhern: Too late for that.
[He pats her bottom]
Stephen Mulhern: You agreed to this.
Holly Willoughby: I did.
[Holly's cuffed hands fidget]
Holly Willoughby: Will it be quick?
Stephen Mulhern: It will be very quick.
[Rubbing her bottom]
Stephen Mulhern: Are you ready?
Holly Willoughby: Just give me a moment to make my peace.
[She closes her eyes. The camera shows her naked body strapped to the guillotine, Stephen rubbing her bum]
Stephen Mulhern: [after a few moments, Stephen takes hold of the rope that releases the blade] You're nude, restrained, and about to be decapitated. How does it feel to know you are about to be behead?
Holly Willoughby: It's scary, but very exciting.
[Grins]
Holly Willoughby: Shame I can only do it once.
Stephen Mulhern: Holly Marie Willoughby, are you ready to be decapitated?
Holly Willoughby: Yes... I'm ready.
Stephen Mulhern: Then count us down, Holly
Holly Willoughby: 3... 2... 1...
[Stephen pulls the rope and the blade falls, slamming home into the stocks around Holly's neck with a loud bang. As it does so, Holly's head drops and tumbles into the basket, leaving her now-headless body strapped to the board]
Holly Willoughby: [Holly's hands clench and then go limp; her feet kick, and one of her stiletto heels falls off]
Stephen Mulhern: A big round of applause for Headless Holly Willoughby!
[Stephen winks to the camera, and walks off stage, leaving Holly's headless naked body in full view]
