Kele prepares to face Russell in a fierce knob-twiddle to the death Photograph: Andy Willsher/guardian.co.uk

Clearly overcome with joy, Russell is declared the winner Photograph: Andy Willsher/guardian.co.uk

Kele brings the afternoon to a close by swapping his guitar for an instrument that is all knobs and nothing else. That's one in the eye for Russell! Photograph: Andy Willsher/guardian.co.uk
