# Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?
# Who's that behind the mask? #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Whooo!
Hello!
Welcome to The Masked Singer!
We are one week away from our grand final,
which means tonight is our semi-grand final.
AUDIENCE: O000h!
Indeed.
Five acts remain, but only three can become finalists.
So, you've guessed it, we've got a double helping
of sweet, sweet unmaskings.
Mwah!
Who doesn't love seconds?
And for afters, we have these five delicious puddings!
LAUGHTER It's our panel, everybody!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I'm coming! I'm coming up! Come on!
Yay!
Dish me up some tira-Mo-su.
It's Mo Gilligan!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Don't trifle with this Dav-lova.
It's Davina McCall!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
We love a strawberry s-Ora-bet.
It's Rita Ora! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
His favourite dessert is spotted dick.
It's Jonathan Ross! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Yes, it is. It is.
I love it.
And joining the panel for one night only,
it's the sweet treat Pete-can pie.
It's Peter Crouch! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Thank you.
Peter, welcome back to crazy town.
You've done Masked Dancer, but do you think you can identify a singer?
Errn, I wasn't very good at Dancer. LAUGHTER
And I'm expecting much more of the same this time around.
You're going to do great, man.
It's one more clue, isn't it? Yes, exactly.
Mo, you and Davina both got one right last week.
We did. Finally.
Yes, I got one right, everybody! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Yeah, you did!
Oooh, that was a really hard high-five!
Rita, you and Jonathan still haven't guessed anything right.
Is tonight your night?
I'm convinced I've got one right. And I think maybe I have two.
So, hopefully, tonight will be my chance to shine
and to take over from Davina and Mo. I love it.
It's our panel, everybody! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
After each character has performed,
our studio audience will vote for their favourites,
and the act with the fewest votes will be unmasked.
The four remaining acts will then sing again,
followed by a second vote
and another unmasking at the end of the show.
Remember, there are clues everywhere.
Especially in the clue packages,
parts of which feature stunt doubles.
We wanted stunt triples,
but you can't fit that many people in a costume.
LAUGHTER
Time for our first act now.
You had me at "jello".
It's jellyfish! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
It's the final next week,
and the panel still aren't even close.
I think it might be Alesha Dixon.
Alexandra Burke.
It is Amber Riley, ladies and gentlemen.
That has to be Beverley Knight.
Or are they?
Wow, it's the semi-final
and I'm telling you, it's an amazing feeling.
There's a lot of feelings and love.
Let me just take a moment to breathe it all in.
JELLYFISH TAKES A DEEP BREATH
Ancl exhale.
Mirror ball. Strictly?
Or Dancing With The Stars.
Truly, I'm just so happy and full of joy.
Like much of my journey,
getting here has been a total surprise.
Fishnets. Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Oh, yeah.
But you have to have faith.
I say, don't dream it, be it.
Sounds like a song title.
Tonight, I don't think you're ready for this jelly... fish.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Shot through the heart
# Ancl you're to blame
# You give love a bad name
# An angel's smile is what you sell
# You promise me heaven Then put me through hell
# Chains of love got a hold on me
# When passion's a prison You can't break free
# Oh-oh, you're a loaded gun
# Yeah
# Oh-oh, there's nowhere to run
# No-one can save me The damage is clone
# Shot through the heart Ancl you're to blame
# Darling You give love a bad name... #
It's incredible.
# I play my part Ancl you play your game
# You give love a bad name
# You give love
# A bad name... #
I know this voice so much. I can't get it right!
# Paint that smile upon your lips
# Blood-red nails on your fingertips
# Oh-oh, you're a loaded gun
# Yeah
# Oh-oh, there's nowhere to run
# No-one can save me The damage is clone
# Ooooooh... #
Whooo!
# Yeah, yeah, yeah
# I play my part Ancl you play your game
# You give love a bad name
# Yeah, yeah
# You give love a bad name
# I play my Part
# I play my part and you play
# Your game... #
HOLDS NOTE
# Yeah... # Whooo!
# Oh-oh-oh, yeah! #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Wow! I mean, seriously!
Yeah! Give it up for jellyfish!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
WOW!
Oh, my God, your voice is incredible!
Jonathan?
Well, that last note, you held it for so long,
I went out and got a cup of coffee, came back in, you were still going.
Unbelievable. Great performance.
So many clues refer to Glee, of course.
There were stuff like "happy" and "full of joy".
Also you said at one stage, "Don't dream it, be it."
Well, if it's the person I think it is,
she was in the West End production of Dream Girls.
I think it's Amber Riley, ladies and gentlemen.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
It's a popular one here in the audience.
I'm going to come to you, newbie, Peter Crouch.
What an amazing voice, I have to say.
This show gets madder and madder. LAUGHTER
On Dancer last time, Jonathan got me onto Glee.
And I'm a huge fan now, I have to say.
Someone who's also in Glee, Lea Michele.
DAVINA: That's a very good guess.
Davina?
The disco balls just made me think of Strictly.
Ancl then when you said, "Breathe it all in,"
this person had a single called Breathe Slow.
I'm going to go with Alesha Dixon, who I did say last week.
It makes sense of that clue. Mo Gilligan?
I think we are in the presence of a real disco diva, Joel.
We've got disco balls. And I don't know if you've seen,
the backing dancers, they give me a Nile Rodgers vibe.
Yeah.
I think it could be Chaka Khan.
DAVI NA: WOW!
Chaka Khan, ladies and gentlemen. That's right.
Chaka Khan't believe that guess!
LAUGHTER
RITA: I thought, again, Dream Girls.
But maybe it's someone that was in the movie.
She has an incredible voice.
Jennifer Hudson.
DAVINA: That is good.
Guys, do you need some help? Yes!
Well, get ready, because I am going to give you a clue-nundrum.
An anagram will appear on the screen,
and all you have to do is unscramble the letters to reveal the clue.
Fingers on buzzer.
Here comes your clue-nundrum.
Oh, I've got it. Press the buzzer! BUZZER SOUNDS
Jonathan? Spangled.
Well clone.
I love a conundrum.
Does that help anybody? Well, spangled, Strictly.
Alesha Dixon was on Strictly.
Just saying. OK.
We'll only see the jelly under the umbrelly
when the mask comes off.
Give it up for jellyfish, everybody! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
jellyfish has certainly got the panel Glee-ful.
But who do you think's behind the mask?
What a way to open the semi-final.
The panel loved me tonight.
But their guesses are all bad names.
Ha-ha-ha! See what I did there?
Oh, I just heard that our next performer isn't quite ready.
What? BELL DINGS
Dinner time!
It's jacket Potato!
# You can go your own way
# You can go your own way... #
In my last performance, I rocked out.
Eric Clapton. Elvis Costello.
Vic Reeves. Captain Sensible.
# Go your own way! #
The panel never guessed the potato under this jacket.
Hey, it's the semi-final!
Ancl I'm still here.
Yes, me, Jack.
Jacket Potato.
# Hit the road, jack And don't you come back... #
The snake. I'm A Celeb.
So, stick a fork in me, cos I'm clone.
A lot of cooking clues. What's that, a thermometer?
See? I told you I was one hot potato.
That's because potatoes are always the perfect pairing to most dishes.
Pairing. Someone in a double act, maybe.
Ancl I know all about the perfect partnership.
Tonight, I'm going to give you my crispiest performance yet.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# You know I've clone wrong
# And my heart's gone
# That's what devils do
# I took you so low
# Where the fools go
# The devil in you... #
Who is this person?
# Now I'm rising from the ground
# Rising up to you
# From all the strength I found
# There's nothing I can't do... #
Yeah!
Here we go.
# I need to know now
# Know now
# Can you love me again?
# I need to know now
# Know now
# Can you love me again?
# I need to know now, know now
# Can you love me again? #
This is a hard one.
# Now I'm rising from the ground
# Rising up to you
# Saving all the strength I found
# There's nothing I can't do
# Whooo!
# I need to know now... #
It sounds like Jon Bon jovi.
But he can't play the guitar.
# I need to know now
# Know now
# Can you love me again?
# I need to know now
# Know now
# Can you love me again? #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Amazing!
Oh, jacket Potato!
So good! Yes, man! Love it!
OK, Davina? It was amazing.
You sound so gravelly.
Ancl you mentioned "pairing" in the clues, and "a partnership".
Ancl it's literally just come to me.
Bon jovi.
Ooooh. Maybe it's Richie Sambora.
If it's Richie Sambora... It can't be.
Richie Sambora is a multi-billionaire.
He'll be sitting in his private jet
on his private island reading his private e-mails.
He won't be here. It might as well be Keith Richards.
LAUGHTER Or it could be Slash.
It could be jack Dee, he plays the guitar.
LAUGHTER
Well, that's what I'm going with.
OK, Rita, what are you thinking?
You are a true legend under there, whoever that is.
APPLAUSE
You keep going like this with your mouth.
Somebody who's got a really iconic mouth and has a really raspy voice.
Steven Tyler. I think he can play the guitar.
You know, maybe it's his partner, Joe Perry.
APPLAUSE
Mo, what are you thinking?
One of the clues was "perfect duo".
I don't think you're a rock star, though.
You've got a rock star vibe about you.
But I think you could be Vic Reeves.
DAVINA: Ancl he plays the guitar, right?
JONATHAN: He does play guitar.
Peter? I'm a big fan of Potato. A huge fan.
It's nice, because I've got this one.
Oh, what?! I just know. I know I've got it.
The thermometer was obviously a reference to being a chef.
Partnership was a partnership he has with someone on a Sunday.
It's on Sunday Brunch with Tim Love joy,
and it's Simon Rimmer. APPLAUSE
Oh!
Do you need another clue? Yes! Yes!
OK, it's time for your next clue-nundrum.
Fingers on buzzer.
Oh, billions! BUZZER SOUNDS
Billions!
This works for Richie.
Billions of downloads of their songs and their music.
Simon Rimmer's made billions of dishes.
LAUGHTER
OK, you'll only see who's inside when we say, "Laters, Taters!"
Give it up for jacket Potato! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Are the panel getting hot under the jacket with their rock star guesses?
Who do you think's behind the mask?
My pota-toes are tingling with excitement.
I want to sing for you all again.
Coming up, we've got performances from Fawn, Phoenix and Rhino.
Just another day at The Masked Singer zoo!
# Who's that behind the mask? #
Welcome back to The Masked Singer semi-final!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Let's get some clues now.
And next up, two, four, six, eight, who do we appreciate?
I'm a "deer" leader. Get it?
It's Fawn!
# Everything changes
# I've been here for too long... #
In my last performance, the panel presented some new names.
It's Shania Twain. Cat Deeley.
Bella Thorne. Kym Marsh.
They think they're getting closer, but I think that's just hearsay.
Remember, remember, the 1st of November.
What an adventure this has been.
What's the beach thing? That's very British.
Ancl here I am so close to the final.
I've supplied many clues for you.
I could even give you 12 million more.
Maybe albums sold or something. Or followers.
But have you heard them all?
Tonight, I'll be pleased if you're still asking,
"Who are you, doe?"
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# The sun'll come out tomorrow
# Bet your bottom dollar that
# Tomorrow there'll be sun... #
WOW!
# When I'm stuck with a clay
# That's grey and lonely
# I just stick out my chin
# Ancl grin and say
# Oh, tomorrow
# Tomorrow,
# I love you, tomorrow
# You're always a clay away
# When I'm stuck with a clay
# That's grey and lonely
# I just stick out my chin
# Ancl grin and say
#Oh
# The sun'll come out tomorrow
# I love you, tomorrow
# You're always a clay away
# Tomorrow
# I love you, tomorrow
# You're always a clay
# Away. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Oh!
I stole a hanky from a hedgehog!
LAUGHTER
Oh, man, is someone cutting onions?
LAUGHTER
No, but that was so emotional.
The clue was right there
at the top of the VT package, it impressed me much.
We're in the presence of a legend. I think it's Shania Twain.
APPLAUSE
Can I say one other thing, Joel? Please, do.
I got one right last week. So, you're feeling confident.
Good to know. You haven't mentioned it.
Davina? I saw "1st of November".
This person has a birthday on the 1st November.
And she also presented a TV program me called Singled Out,
and it said, at some point, "surrounded by love".
Ancl that is jenny McCarthy.
APPLAUSE MO: That's a great guess.
Peter Crouch?
I just wasn't expecting to be so teary, watching a hedgehog cry.
LAUGHTER
They mentioned "hearsay". I don't think it was the two fellas.
LAUGHTER
So I thought it could be Myleene Klass.
APPLAUSE
I heard "hearsay" as well. Ancl I really stuck with that.
So, I'm going to go with Suzanne Shaw.
APPLAUSE
Jonathan Ross, finally? Here's who I think it is.
If you go for the date, if you go to November 1st,
November is the 11th month. So it's 111.
So, what do three ones add up to?
Three.
So, someone who's had three number ones here in the UK.
Billie Piper, ladies and gentlemen. It could be Billie Piper in there.
That's who I think it is.
Do you want another clue? Yes!
It's time for another clue-nundrum.
OK, fingers on buzzer.
Here we go.
BUZZER SOUNDS
Yes, Peter? Platinum.
If it's Shania Twain, she must have some platinum-selling albums.
I've got it right! I've got another one!
LAUGHTER
Well, we'll only see the fawn-y side
when the mask comes off.
Give it up for Fawn, everyone!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Have the panel joined the dots,
or are they struggling to make heads or tails of the clues?
Who do you think's behind the mask?
I can't believe I've made it all the way to the semi-final
and the panel are still confused.
Let's get back on the case.
They're a liar, liar,
and their pants are very much on fire.
It's Phoenix!
# It's not unusual To be loved by anyone... #
Last time, I crooned and the panel swooned.
# You'll find it happens All the time... #
They gave me lots of names, but none of them are mine.
Anton Du Beke. David Tennant.
Paddy McGuinness is in there.
Which was jolly good.
Ha-ha-ha!
It's the semi-final.
So, let's raise a toast.
Blue goblet. It's like a pop.
Cheers!
I'm thinking Game Of Thrones. I'm thinking Dragons' Den.
They had banners in Game Of Thrones.
Of course, I saw this coming in 2012.
2012, the Olympics.
MO: Oh, yes!
I told you then, a Phoenix rises from the ashes.
What's the office chair? It's just the stand.
That's because my Phoenix eye, it's sharp, it sees things.
What's coming.
What's been.
What's behind it.
What's behind the eye? That's past, present, future.
Ancl tonight, it's all eyes on me.
Will I make the final? Ancl how does it end?
Well, that would be telling. Ha-ha-ha!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# You're just too good To be true... #
Tune-age!
# Can't take my eyes off of you
# You'd be like heaven to touch
# I wanna hold you so much
# At long last Love has arrived... #
Jamie Cullum. Oh...!
# Ancl I thank God I'm alive
# You're just too good to be true
# Can't take my eyes off of you... #
Everybody!
# I love you, baby
# Ancl if it's quite all right
# I need you, baby
# To warm the lonely nights
# I love you, baby
# Yes, I love you, baby
# You're just too good to be true
# Can't take my eyes off of you
# You'd feel like heaven to touch
# I wanna hold you so much... #
Who is it? This is tough.
# At long last, love has arrived
# Ancl I thank God I'm alive
# You're just too good to be true
# Can't take my eyes off of you... #
Hey!
Everyone!
# I love you, baby
# Ancl if it's quite all right I need you, baby
# To keep me warm at night
# I love you, baby
# Trust in me when I say
# Oh, pretty baby
# Don't bring me down, I pray
# Oh, pretty baby
# Now that I've found you, stay
# Ancl let me love you, baby
# Let me love you. #
HOLDS NOTE
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Whooo!
Give it up for Phoenix, everybody!
Look at that wingspan!
It's such a... It's wild!
Go for it, Davina McCall.
Phoenix, you are no stranger to the stage.
It just makes me think of somebody that's been in theatre or musicals.
I was thinking the blue drink.
There is a drink called blue cosmo, it was inspired by the TARDIS.
I think David Tennant can sing like that.
APPLAUSE
OK, that's good. OK, Mo?
The clues... You're a fiery bird.
And when I think of a fiery thing,
I think of a dragon, I think the Welsh flag.
Cardiff City football team call themselves The Bluebirds.
That's right.
I think you could be the Welsh actor Luke Evans.
APPLAUSE
Peter Crouch?
Yeah, I think the theatrics,
someone who's been, like, an actor or in the theatre.
But then I saw the office chair,
and I think someone who's been in The Office.
Mackenzie Crook.
APPLAUSE
That's a good one. Jonathan?
I think you are definitely a singer, cos you're a great performer.
I think you've been in a big British band.
Johnny Borrell from Razorlight.
APPLAUSE
What do you think, Rita?
Maybe you are somebody that has been in a band
that's had a song called Relight My Fire.
I'm going to go with Gary Barlow.
APPLAUSE
A good guess.
Do you want another clue? Yes, please!
Here comes your clue-nundrum.
Oh, hang on! BUZZER SOUNDS
Narrator.
Narrator, it is! APPLAUSE
What about if it is somebody like a Luke Evans or a David Tennant?
They would have narrated loads of stuff.
Has the answer flown right over the panel's heads?
We'll only know when the mask comes off.
Give it up for Phoenix, everybody! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Are the panel on a hot streak with these guesses?
Or will they be left red-faced?
Who do you think's behind the mask?
The panel can't take their eyes off of this Phoenix.
But they need to put their brains together
to figure out who this fiery chap is.
Back to the clues now.
They're horny, horny, horny, horny.
It's Rhino! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
WHIP CRACKS
GUNSHOT
# Got everyone watching us
# So, baby Let's keep it secret... #
Last time, the panel thought they'd busted my identity.
Charlie Simpson. Max George.
James Arthur.
But when it comes to who I am,
I'm still very much on their most wanted list.
Yeeee-ha!
Sound the horn, it's the semi-final!
American or not? That's not real.
PETER: He's just putting this on.
Being a rhino, you've got options.
You can be part of a herd, or tread a solitary path.
Was in a band, has now gone solo.
You can also do both, like me.
Been in a band, loads of rubber bands.
Despite being a large creature, I've always been the gentle sort.
# These boots are made for walking
# And that's just what They'll do. #
Although, I have been known to raise a few eyebrows.
Oh, they were vampire teeth. Twilight.
I've always managed to find my tribe.
Tonight, we're going to have a good, old-fashioned hoedown.
Hold onto your hats.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I'm excited for you to hear this. Who can Rhino be?
# I've been holding onto pieces
# Swimming in the deep end
# Trying to find my way Back to you... #
Wow.
# Cos I'm needing A little bit of love
# A little bit of love
# A little bit of love... #
It does sound like James Arthur.
# Lately I've been counting stars
# Ancl I didn't mean To break your heart
# It's something that I didn't want for you
# But I've got voices in my head Ancl there's a deafening silence
# I've got voices in my head And I can't lie
# I've been holding onto pieces
# Swimming in the deep end
# Trying to find my way back to you
# Cos I'm needing a little bit of love... #
He's amazing, right? Good, innit?
# I need a little love
# Lately I've been waking up
# In a dream You stay calling your name
# Stayed up too late just thinking of you
# I've got voices in my head And I can't lie
# I've been holding onto pieces
# Swimming in the deep end... #
Come on, Rhino!
# Trying to find my way back to you Cos I've needed
# A little bit of love
# I need a little love
#Just like the air I'm breathing
# These awful wounds ain't healing
# Trying to find my way back to you Cos I'm needing
# A little bit of love
# I need a bit of love
# A little bit of love. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
WOW!
Yes, Rhino!
Rhino, everybody!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE So good, Rhino.
Jonathan?
What an amazing voice, whoever is inside that suit.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
just based on the quality of that voice,
I think it is James Arthur in there.
A lot of people agree with you. Very popular.
Davina McCall, what are you thinking?
So, I was looking at the clues. Ancl I saw "admit everyone".
Ancl Busted had an album called A Ticket For Everyone.
So, I think it is you, Charlie Simpson.
APPLAUSE
Over to you, Peter.
The voice was James Arthur.
I think The Wanted, Busted, it's definitely someone in a band.
The teeth reference made me think of myself.
LAUGHTER
But I'm going to stick with the Busted thing.
I think it's Charlie Simpson.
APPLAUSE
Rita, what are you thinking? You have one of my favourite voices
out of all the Masked Singers I've clone.
I might have to just do the obvious
and say you are Charlie Simpson from Busted.
APPLAUSE
JONATHAN: James Arthur.
Mo, finally?
I want to throw a name out there that's just comes to me.
You're a showman, a bit of a Rock DJ vibe.
So, I'm going to go for Robbie Williams.
OK.
LAUGHTER
That's almost caused a riot in the studio. I love that.
OK, do you want another clue? Yes!
Here is your final clue-nundrum.
Here it comes.
Napoleon!
No, it's not Napoleon. No, no, no.
BUZZER SOUNDS Mo, what was it?
Penelope. Is it Penelope?
Yes, it is Penelope. Well done.
How does that help?
Didn't Busted do a track for Thunderbirds?
Ancl Lady Penelope is in Thunderbirds.
OK, who's inside the massive hide?
We'll only know when the mask comes off.
Give it up for Rhino, everyone!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Have the panel lassoed this cowboy?
Or are they just having a wild, wild guess?
Who do you think's behind the mask?
What a performance! Ancl there wasn't just a little bit.
There was a lot of love out there for Rhino.
That's all five performances in the bag, baby.
After the break, our studio audience will vote
and we'll have our first unmasking of the night.
Stay right where you are. I'm talking to you, too, panel.
# Who's that behind the mask? #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Welcome back for The Masked Singer semi-final.
Everyone's so tense, they're biting their hooves and claws.
LAUGHTER We've seen five superb performances,
but now the studio audience must pick their favourite.
The character with the fewest votes will be unmasked immediately.
The four who remain will then sing again
for a place in next week's grand final.
While our studio audience vote,
here is a reminder of tonight's performances.
# Shot through the heart Ancl you're to blame
# Darling, you give love A bad name. #
# I need to know now
Know now
# Can you love me again? #
# Tomorrow
# I love you, tomorrow. #
# And if it's quite all right, I need you baby
# To keep me warm at night. #
# These awful wounds ain't healing
# Trying to find my way back to you, cos I need it. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
The results are in.
Here we go.
I can reveal that, in no particular order,
the masked singers returning to perform again are...
Phoenix!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Fawn!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
jellyfish! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Oh, my God!
That means, Rhino and jacket Potato, one of you
will be performing for a place in the grand final,
and the other will be unmasked immediately.
The masked singer keeping their place in the competition is...
Rhino!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Which means, jacket Potato, you will be unmasked.
Congratulations to the rest of you,
you're still in with a chance of singing in next week's grand final.
Well done. Head off down the tunnel, my friends.
# Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?
# Who's that behind the mask? #
Everyone, give it up for jacket Potato.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I'm sorry to say
your time on The Masked Singer has come to an end.
And in just a matter of moments, you'll be revealing
your true identity.
But first, panel, who do you think it is?
Mo, I'll come to you first. I think you're Vic Reeves.
OK, Vic Reeves.
Davina McCall? I think you're Richie Sambora.
Richie Sambora, OK. Peter Crouch?
I said Simon Rimmer, but I'm going to go with Gino D'Acampo.
Yeah, I like it.
Rita?
I'm going to go with Joe Perry from Aerosmith.
OK, Good shout.
Jonathan Ross?
I genuinely don't know. I'm going back to one of my earlier guesses,
I think it's from The Damned, I think it's Captain Sensible.
APPLAUSE
I like that a lot. There's only one way to get to the bottom of this.
Potato, who's behind the mask?
Take it off!
ALL: Take it off! Take it off!
Take it off!
Take it off! Take it off!
Come on!
# Who's that behind the mask? #
It's Richie Sambora!
Yeah!
Bon jovi guitarist, legend!
Oh, my God.
Wow.
Oh, my God!
I can't believe it's you.
That is too much.
They laughed at you. They did laugh.
I don't care about any of that.
It's, like, Richard Sambora. I can't believe it!
Hot potato, baby!
Hot potato! This outfit actually looks great on you, man.
Yeah, this is what I wear to go shopping, like, grocery shopping.
There was loads of clues.
There was lots of lyrics, there were loads of song titles.
There was a target, like, "shot through the heart". Ah!
There was a 50% thing which was like "halfway there".
# We're halfway there. # Oh, of course.
Can you tell me, all those numbers,
the Celsius, Fahrenheit...
7,800 degrees Fahrenheit?
Maybe the crappiest album name of all time.
LAUGHTER But you know what it is?
It's the melting point of rock.
Ah! Oh, that's good!
APPLAUSE
Richie, another album, cos you were by a water slide,
that would be Slippery When Wet. Yes.
That was a much better record.
LAUGHTER
You're used to singing in arenas and things.
What was it like, singing in a potato?
HE SNORTS
It took a little getting used to, you know. Yeah.
But once I put it on now, that was it.
It's a wild reality when you do this show.
It's a gas. Everybody has treated me so good here.
I've had so much fun with you, man.
Me, too, I've had a ball, man. I really have.
It's been a lot of fun. I figure we fooled some people, you know.
LAUGHTER
Honestly, it's just been a pleasure to have such a legend on the show.
She has, man. Give it up for Richie Sambora, everyone.
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING You've been sensational.
Singing for us one final time, unmasked at last,
it's Richie Sambora!
# You know I clone wrong
# And my heart's gone
# That's what devils do
# I took you so low
# Where the fools go
# The devil in you... #
Yes!
# Now I'm rising from the ground
#Jumping to you... #
Come on!
Whoo!
# I need to know now
# Know now
# Can you love me again? # Hey!
# I need to know now
# Know now
# Can you love me again?
# I need to know now
# Know now
# Can you love me again?
# I need to know now
# Know now... #
Go, Richie!
# Can you love me again? #
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
Yes, Richie!
Thank you so much to Richie Sambora!
After the break, jellyfish, Fawn, Phoenix and Rhino
will sing for a place in the grand final,
and one of them will be unmasked!
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
# Who's that behind the mask? #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Welcome back for The Masked Singer, everybody.
What is it?
ALL: The semi-final!
Oh, thanks, I almost forgot.
Before the break, we found out that jacket Potato
was Richie Sambora all along, the little scamp!
But they're not the only celebrity who'll be unmasked tonight.
It's time for our four remaining characters to perform once more.
First up, stinging for a place in the grand final,
it's jellyfish.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# I can't win, I can't reign
# I will never win this game
# Without you
# I am lost, I am vain
# I will never be the same
# Without you
# I won't run, I won't fly
# I will never make it by
# Without you
# Oh-oh-oh
# You
# Without you
# You
# Without you... #
Whooo!
# I can't run, I can't fly
# I lost my heart, I lost my mind
# Without you
# Without
# You
# Oh-oh-oh
# You
# Without you
# You, yeah, yeah
# Without you. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Give it up for jellyfish!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Oh, that voice!
Wow! It's incredible.
Oh, guys, do you want another clue? Yes, please!
OK.
When our masked singers aren't belting out a tune,
they have to keep very, very quiet.
But that's about to change with...
...THE LOUDEST CLUE EVER!
Yeah, sorry to destroy some of your eardrums there.
Simply put, jellyfish is going to give you a clue
using this megaphone.
OK, let's hear your loudest clue ever, jellyfish.
Diva!
Diva?
That does not narrow it down. It does. It makes sense to me.
Diva, Dream Girls.
It's Amber Riley from Dream Girls.
APPLAUSE
Well, we'll only see who's been delighting under the lighting
when the mask comes off.
Let's hear it for jellyfish!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
That's it, I've given alll can.
I just hope it's enough for me to swim into the grand final.
Next up, can they make the grand Fawn-al?
It's Fawn!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# I see the moon, I see the moon I see the moon
# Oh, when you are looking At the sun
# I'm not a fool, I'm not a fool I'm not a fool
# No, you are not fooling anyone
# Oh, but when you're gone When you're gone, when you're gone
# Oh, baby, all the lights go out
# Thinking, that, oh, baby I was wrong... #
She's got an amazing voice.
# I was wrong
# Come back to me, baby We can work this out
# Oh, baby, come on Let me get to know you
# just another chance So that I can show
# That I won't let you down and run
# No, that I won't let you down And run
# Cos I could be the one
# I could be the one
# Thinking, oh, that, baby I was wrong
# I was wrong, I was wrong
# Come back to me, baby We can work this out... #
I think she's English. Yeah.
# Oh, baby, come on Let me get to know you
# just another chance So that I can show
# That I won't let you down and run
# No, that I won't let you down And run
# Cos I could be the one
# I could be the one
# I could be the one! #
CH EERING AND APPLAUSE.
I loved that!
Yes, beautiful!
Give it up for Fawn, everybody!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Joel, I was... I was buzzing!
Yes!
Yes...
Thanks, Rita.
Listen, do you guys want an extra clue?
Yeah!
OK. Jonathan, you might want to adjust your hearing aid,
cos we're about to have...
...THE LOUDEST CLUE EVER!
LAUGHTER Sorry, Jonathan, that was very rude.
OK, panel, get ready. Fawn, take it away.
Rankin!
Rankin.
Rankin is a very famous portrait photographer.
Yes, but you also get ranked, like, in class.
No, but that would be ranking.
But still, it might be a clue. She might not just use her Gs.
Ancl it could be Myleene Klass.
PETER: That's good.
It's Shania Twain! It's Shania Twain, Joel!
How does that fit in with Shania Twain?
Because she's one of the top-ranking musicians of all time.
I'll stick with Billie Piper, cos of the bees.
She had a hit single Honey To The Bee.
I think that was a big clue.
Well, we'll only see who's been "deer", there and everywhere
when the mask comes off.
Give it up for Fawn!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I think I could be the one to head to the grand final.
I've come this far and I'm still galloping circles around the panel.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Coming up, we've got just two more performances
before we reveal the identity of another masked singer.
But now, we are kick-starting your weekend
with a chance to win a three-part prize package...
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Welcome back.
We are edging closer to our second audience vote of the night.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
You guys are working harder than I am.
After two more performances,
we'll find out who's heading into the grand final
and who's going to be unmasked.
Next up, they are so confident they are saying,
"No win and no Phoe-nix."
LAUGHTER It's Phoenix!
Yay!
MAN: I wanna talk to you.
WOMAN: The last time we talked, Mr Smith, you reduced me to tears.
I promise you, it won't happen again.
# Do I attract you?
# Do I repulse you With my queasy smile?
# Am I too dirty? Am I too flirty?
# Do you like what you like?
# I could be wholesome I could be loathsome
# just a little bit shy
# Why don't you like me? Why don't you like me?
# Without making me try?
# But if you like Grace Kelly... #
He's changed his voice. What is going on? I've no idea.
# But all her looks were too sad
# So I tried a little Freddie
# I've gone identity mad
# I could be brown, I could be blue
# I could be violet sky
# I could be hurtful I could be purple
# I could be anything you like
# Gotta be green, gotta be mean
# Gotta be everything more
# Why don't you like me? Why don't you like me?
# Why don't you walk out the door?
# Ancl say what you want To satisfy yourself
# Cos you only want What everybody else says
# What you want
# You want
# I could be brown, I could be blue
# I could be violet sky
# I could be hurtful I could be purple
# I could be anything you like
# Gotta be mean, gotta be green
# Gotta be everything more
# Why don't you like me? Why don't you like me?
# Walk out the door
# I could be brown, I could be blue
# I could be violet sky
# I could be hurtful I could be purple
# I could be anything you like
# Gotta be green, gotta be mean
# Gotta be everything more
# Why don't you like me? Why don't you like me?
# Walk out the door! #
Ha-ha!
WOMAN: Humphrey, we're leaving.
Ca-ching!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I just love Phoenix's whole demeanour.
Give it up for Phoenix, everybody!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Well done, Phoenix. Good work.
That was wonderful stuff.
Did you guys want another clue? Yes, please!
Yes, it's time for...
...THE LOUDEST CLUE EVER!
OK.
He's getting a run-up. Come on in, here we go.
Frequency!
Oh, God, did you hear that voice?
David Tennant could pull off that voice.
David Tennant's good.
You know, frequency, if we talk about him being the doctor.
Yeah. Radio? He could be on the radio.
Maybe it's a radio DJ.
Now that makes me think Ronan Keating.
APPLAUSE He's on the radio.
He can sing.
You guys are fully, fully confused.
Who's our Lord Of The Wings?
We'll only know when the mask comes off.
Give it up for Phoenix, everybody! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
We can't put this fire out just yet.
I've got so much more to give.
Phoenix in the final, that sounds good, doesn't it?
We have just one more performance
hoping to charge into the grand final.
It's Rhino! Yeah!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# I've been roaming around
# Always looking down At all I see... #
That voice!
# Painted faces fill the spaces I can't reach
# You know that I could use somebody
# You know that I could use somebody... #
WOW!
I love this man!
# Someone like you and all you know
# And how you speak
# Countless lovers Under cover of the street
# You know that I could use somebody
# Someone like you
# Oh-oh-oh
# Whoooo
# Someone like you
# Somebody
# Oh-oh-oh
# Off into the night
# While you live it up I'm off to sleep... #
Oh, God, he's gorgeous. His voice!
# To wage a war To shape the poet and the beat
# I hope it's gonna make you notice
# Someone like me
# Oh-oh-oh
# Whoooo... #
Oh!
# Someone like me
# Somebody... #
Oh!
# I've been roaming around
# I was looking down at alll see. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
That's good. Really good.
Oh, my God!
Give it up for Rhino, everybody!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE I loved that, Rhino.
Your voice is incredible. It's so good.
Joel's fanning, look.
It's so good, we're gonna be best friends.
We're gonna be best friends.
Did you guys need a clue? Yes!
OK, it's time for...
...THE LOUDEST CLUE EVER!
Take it away, Rhino
Zombie!
JOEL AND JUDGES: Zombie!
There was the fangs, the vampires.
Is that like when somebody becomes the waking dead?
It could be Gino. LAUGHTER
You might be right, Peter,
because I saw Gino D'Acampo one morning, after he went out
late with Gordon Ramsay, and he was like a zombie.
LAUGHTER
OK, has the horn identity got the panel stumped?
We'll only know when the mask comes off.
Give it up for Rhino!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE DAVINA: Yes, Rhino!
I've put my horn into this competition.
Will Rhino stampede into the grand final?
Yeeee-ha!
After the break, the studio audience will be voting
for their grand finalists,
and another celebrity will be unmasked.
Stay where you are, or else... you'll miss it.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Who's that behind the mask? #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Welcome back.
Jellyfish, Fawn, Phoenix and Rhino have done all they can.
But their fates now lie in the hands of our studio audience.
The act that receives the fewest votes will be unmasked
and just miss out on a place in next week's grand final.
While our studio audience vote,
here is a reminder of tonight's performances.
# Oh-oh-oh
# You
, yeah, yeah. #
# I could be brown, I could be blue
# I could be violet sky
# I could be hurtful, I could be purple
# I could be anything you like. #
# Come on, baby Let me get to know you
# just another chance So that I can show
# That I won't let you down Ancl run. #
# Someone like me
# Somebody. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
The results are in.
I can reveal that, in no particular order,
the masked singers going through to the grand final are...
Fawn!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Wow.
Phoenix!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
That means, jellyfish and Rhino...
What? ..one of you will be going through to the final
and the other will be unmasked.
The third and final masked singer to reach the grand final is...
AUDIENCE SHOUTING
It's Rhino!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Oh, congratulations, Rhino.
Give it up for your three finalists, everybody.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Give it up for jellyfish, everyone.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
jellyfish... Oh, jellyfish!
I'm so sad to see you leave!
I am so sorry.
But your time on The Masked Singer has come to an end.
Panel, who do you think it is? Jonathan, I'll come to you first.
I think from Glee and the production of Dream Girls on the West End,
I think it's Amber Riley.
APPLAUSE
Rita? I'm going to go Jennifer Hudson.
APPLAUSE
OK, Peter? From my favourite show, Glee,
I'm going to go for Lea Michele.
APPLAUSE
OK, Davina? Alesha Dixon.
APPLAUSE
Finally, Mo? I'm going to go Beverley Knight.
APPLAUSE
OK, let's see if any of you are right.
There's only one way to find out.
Jellyfish, who's behind the mask?
Take it off!
ALL: Take it off!
Take it off! Take it off!
Take it off! Who are you?
Take it off! Take it off! Who is it?
# Who's that behind the mask? #
It's Amber Riley!
Of course.
Star of Dream girls and Glee, Amber Riley, everybody.
MO LAUGHS Wow.
I knew it, I knew it. So amazing.
Amazing. I said it was Glee.
Wow. Hello. How are you?
Oh! Hi!
You absolutely tricked me.
Oh, my gosh.
In LA, I said, "What you doing?"
She was like "I'm going to London tomorrow."
"What are you doing in London?" "Oh, I'm working on my album."
Oh, my gosh. You got lied to.
JONATHAN: You can't trust anyone, Mo, you can't trust anyone.
I knew that you were going to guess.
Cos I saw you in Dream girls, it was so good, and I'm a big Glee fan.
As soon as you start getting the Dream girls clues, I was like, "No!"
LAUGHTER This is huge.
You have such a distinctive tone. Now, obviously, it all makes sense.
I really tried to pick songs
that people would not kind of recognise my voice.
Yeah, you did that.
You sung a Bon jovi song tonight, and Richie Sambora is on the show.
LAUGHTER He's just been revealed.
Are you serious? I'm serious.
LAUGHTER
Yeah.
What? He heard you while you were rehearsing, yeah.
No! LAUGHTER
Ancl he sang a song from Dream girls, so it was really weird.
I mean... LAUGHTER
Honestly, you've been absolutely amazing.
Give it up for Amber Riley, everybody. Thank you!
You been so incredible. That voice!
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
What a show!
Join us again next week for the biggest one of all,
the grand final.
Next here on ITV, it's the Brits. Mo, go get changed!
But right now, singing us out,
unmasked at last, it's Amber Riley!
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
