Have you ever been to a hairdressing competition? Or ever seen plumbers battle to install a toilet the quickest?

These are the kind of things on show at the EuroSkills Championships: hundreds of young people competing in more than 35 professions to be crowned the best in Europe.

Among them, British joiners, engineers and restaurant servers.

For ITV's On Assignment, Charlene White watched this year's competition, which took place in Hungary’s capital Budapest, and met those fighting to win gold.

Watch Charlene's full report in the new series of On Assignment, which begins on Tuesday 23rd October at 10.45pm on ITV
