Nick cleans with his baby

After the reading of the task brief, Greg observes in the studio that nick appeared to be terrified of the baby, and Nick responds by sharing that he has three kids of his own. When Greg seems genuinely surprised by this news, Nick admits that “It’s weird, isn’t it?”.

Nick decides to do the washing-up first. As he does so, some of his baby spills into the sink, as he is leaning forwards. When Alex checks that he’s not “cleaning with the baby”, Nick admits that a little bit of her had gone into the soapy water.

Next up, Nick hangs the laundry on the clothes horse, spilling more of his baby as he attempts to manipulate a bedsheet (Alex responds by saying “I think your baby’s been sick”).

The next chore Nick completes is the cleaning of Greg’s shoes, which he does with the bedsheet and by spilling some of his baby on them.

Nick then heads to the dome to change his baby’s nappy, before going to the shed to dust the rug. Instead of using the carpet sweeper, he decides to dust the rug by slapping it against Linda the cow’s backside.

Finally, Nick heads to the gate to make some milk for the baby, sloshing and spilling some of his baby along the way. He does feed the baby a very small amount of the milk, but does not think to use it to completely top his baby back up, like Steve did.

In the studio, Greg observes that Nick had seemed like a very cautious and caring parent, but Alex reveals that he had spilt about a quarter of his liquid child. Nick therefore earns just 1 point.
