WATCH THE LEGO CHALLENGE
Ultimate Lego challenge
Tinney, Sharron and O’Shea attempt the hardest Lego task of all.... walking along a Lego path.
One at a time, the three hosts walk along the bumpy Lego road.
It all became a bit too painful for O’Shea who tapped out early, just two steps in.
Tinney was next, and it was a breeze. The Sunrise presenter practically ran across the path completely unfazed and even jumped on the path.
Last but not least, Sharron walked the walk with the help of her assistant who laid out a rug over the top for a pain-free stroll.
Lego legend
Tinney has entered the crowd to see what the audience has produced with Lego.
Talented young Jacob has made an epic character with his blocks.
Jacob is determined to stay seated in the crowd until 6pm tonight.
Ben takes Sharron down memory lane
O’Shea has shown the viewers the lip sync battle he had with Sharron from two years ago to the iconic You’re the One That I Want song from Grease.
Audience Lego challenge
Audience members are set the fun task of seeing what they can make with a Lego set.
Across the theatre, members are working hard to produce a masterpiece with the mini block set they were each given.
“This is how we solve Perth’s housing crisis,” Tinney joked. “Brick by brick.”

Ben out of ten
Tinney and Sharron prepared a song for O’Shea to help make him famous, and boy did it impress!
“Ben, Ben, Ben out of ten,” sang Sharron.
“If this doesn’t make me famous then I never will be,” O’Shea laughed.
Matt Tinney joins the party
Sunrise presenter Matt Tinney has graced us with his presence, joining the Telethon bed with hosts Ben O’Shea and Famous Sharron.
