In this episode, we reveal how the play-offs will work and do the draw to see which Rex Factor-winning consorts will be up against each other in the first round, as well as details about series 4 and bonuses for Privy Councillors.
We also recorded this on video with extra graphics and a secondary camera, so check that out via the link below:
