"Who's ready for some giggles? Let's welcome our next ticklish contestant!"
With a gentle hum, the platform you're on begins to move forward. A hatch opens, and you're revealed to raucous applause...
The bright lights blind you for a moment, but your eyes soon adjust: a studio crowd sits in front of you, with cameras dotted everywhere to capture the action. You're dressed in nothing but a set of black silk underwear, strapped tightly by your wrists and ankles to a large X-shaped frame.
And centre-stage are the two bombshell-beautiful Tickle! hostesses, Michella de Martino and Sophia Knight. The former was tall, with long, sleek brunette hair flowing down the back of her dress; the latter with thick blonde waves tumbling past her shoulders, framing pretty blue eyes and a playful smile. They coo with delight as they turn to admire you, stepping a little closer to stand either side of you and holding up a microphone.
"Aww...this one looks adorable!"
"Don't they just, Sophia! What's your name, cutie pie? Are you ready to hear tickle challenge number one?"
