# Who are ya? Who are ya?
# Who's that behind the mask? #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Oh!
Welcome to The Masked Singer.
I'm Joel Dommett, but you can call me Her-clue Poirot
cos we've got some detective work to do, my friends.
Oh, oui, oui, oui, oui, oui. LAUGHTER
We've got six new characters for you to meet and one big question,
"Ou est la personne avec la masque derriere bibliotheque?"
LAUGHTER
I think that means, "who's behind the mask?"
I have no idea.
Now, speaking of cultured people with great fashion sense,
we couldn't find any.
It's the panel, everybody! Whoo!
Cheeky! Yay, Joely!
# Who are ya?
# Who's that behind the mask? #
Yay!
Just pause on the easy)et jokes, OK, guys? Yeah.
Pretty bright.
I'm pretty bright right now. LAUGHTER
Now, if you thought last week's intros were cheesy,
get a load of "thesey".
This par-Mo-san never grates.
It's Mo Gilligan! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I love her so much, I camembert it.
OK, OK, OK. FAINT LAUGHTER
It's Davina McCall, everyone. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Is she amazing? Gru-yere she is. RITA CHUCKLES
It's Rita Ora!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
JONATHAN: Yeah. RITA SCREAMS
It's the stinking bishop... JONATHAN CHUCKLES
...Jonathan Ross!
JONATHAN: The stinking bishop?
MO GIGGLES, JONATHAN LAUGHS
Mo, did you think this show could get any cheesier?
Joel, they're fantastic.
At first, I didn't get it - I don't buy cheese.
Mature cheddar, that's all I know.
LAUGHTER I don't know any cheeses.
Davina, the nation wants to know,
"What is Davina McCall's favourite from age?"
I need the moustache. Yeah, there you go.
Favourite cheese, Davina?
Reblochon. Reblochon! Ooh.
What is Reblochon?
Reblochon is like a runny... Pass it down, pass it down.
...very, very smelly cheese.
Oh, I love that. The smellier the better.
Oh, a bit of Reblochon. Oui!
Rita, you're back. Yes, I am. Did you miss me?
I've missed you so much. I missed you guys so much.
I'm so happy to be back. Yay. Oh, yay.
Rita, are you a cheese lover? Oui.
LAUGHTER Actually, that's all I know.
That's it. JOEL LAUGHS
You guys, I have a joke. Can I tell my joke?
Tell your joke, Rita. Ready?
What's your friendliest cheese, Joel?
I don't know. What is my friendliest cheese, Rita?
Halloumi!
It's a good joke.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Jonathan, we're meeting six new masked singers tonight.
What type of character would you like to see tonight?
Are we gonna stick with the cheese theme?
Are we gonna have some kind of a cheese monster out this evening?
You know what, the thing is,
people think we know what's coming up.
We have no idea who's gonna be on stage tonight... No clue.
...so it's as much a surprise to us.
And I know they're all gonna be amazing to look at.
I just can't wait to get started.
Well, my friends...
# It's a clue dawn It's a clue day
# It's a clue life... # LAUGHTER
# For me... # LAUGHTER INTENSIFIES
# And I'm feeling like. #
This song is too high. Let's go! Yeah. Whoo hoo!
Tonight, six masked singers will Face Off against each other
two at a time.
After each head-to-head,
our audience will vote for their favourite,
and the character with the fewest votes
will go into the bottom three.
It will then be up to our panel to decide who is unmasked.
Our first Face Off is...
Air Fryer versus Bubble Tea.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
They can sing, they can dance,
and they can roast veg in under eight minutes...
It's Air Fryer! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Wow,
Oh, my God. Yes!
So good.
Yes, Air Fryer!
Ironically, the Air Fryer is actually quite slow.
LAUGHTER
Pop it like it's hot, it's Bubble Tea!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Oh. Oh, yes!
She's minxy. So minxy! I like it.
Remember, there are clues in every nook and cranny.
Try looking down the back of your sofa.
If you find any money, it's mine. LAUGHTER
Pay very close attention to tonight's clue packages,
parts of which feature stunt doubles.
OK, ready to get on the case? Yes!
# Come fry with me Let's fry, let's fry away. #
It's Air Fryer!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE First clue package.
CAMERAMAN: That's a wrap, guys. Well done.
ELECTRIC BEEPS Psst, here!
It's me, silly, Air Fryer.
Celebrity chefs doing all the hard work.
GIGGLES
We all know it's us air fryers.
Cooking show. Bake Off?
We've been judged and put to the test...
and the results are in.
A judge? Could be someone from MasterChef.
We're highly rated, a top-of-the-range model.
Paul and Mike. That's a really good clue.
Dressed to impress...
but these sparkles cost extra.
Strictly?
Turning my power to max...
Oh, look! Hey, look, there's scissors.
Hairdressing scissors. Yeah, yeah.
...because you can't eat it unless I heat it.
Tonight's performance is gonna sizzle.
GIGGLES
SONG: 'Kings And Queens'
Wow, you look great.
# If all the kings Had their queens on the throne
# We would pop champagne And raise a toast
# To all of the queens Who are fighting alone
# Baby, you're not dancing...#
The mouth's moving. Wow.
# You wanna but you can't No, no, no
# Think it's funny, but honey Can't run this show on your own
# I can feel my body shake There's only... #
She can actually sing.
# I'll show you How a real queen behaves
# Oh, no damsel in distress Don't need to save me... #
Hey, hey, go, go.
# Once I start breathin' fire You can't tame me
# And you might think I'm weak Without a sword
# But if I had one It'd be bigger than yours
# If all of the kings Had their queens on the throne
# We would pop champagne And raise a toast
# To all of the queens Who are fighting alone... #
That's a singer, right? Yeah.
# You're not dancing On your own... #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Oh, look at the eyes. Oh, wow.
# In chess, the king Can move one space at a time
# But queens are free To go wherever they like
# You get too close You'll get a royalty high
# So breathe it in To feel alive... #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
AIR FRYER VOCALISES
# To all of the queens Who are fighting alone
# Baby, you're not dancing... #
I know this voice.
# On your own
# If all of the kings Had their queens on the throne
# We would pop champagne And raise a toast
# To all of the queens Who are fighting alone
# Baby, you're not dancing On your own. #
RITA: Wow!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
That's a proper singer in that little Air Fryer body.
JOEL: Give it up for Air Fryer, everybody!
That was amazing. Unbelievable.
You must be absolutely roasting in there.
Wow. It's an air fryer joke.
Oh, so good. Jonathan, I'm gonna come to you first. Wow!
Well, that was an amazing start to the show, wasn't it? Wow.
What an amazing start to the show. What a great voice!
Rita and I, for some reason,
we didn't expect that great voice to come out of a little air fryer.
Yeah, no, exactly. You're definitely a professional singer.
That is a professional singer. Yeah.
There are so many things about cooking.
Could it be someone we've seen on a cookery show or judging?
But there was one clue. You said, "Are you Paul?”
And I realised what the clue is. Rand U...
and Paul... is RuPaul. Ru? RuPaul?
Could it be RuPaul in there? APPLAUSE
That doesn't sound like RuPaul to me.
You're just angry you didn't get it. I know.
I think it could be, I think it could be. Rita?
First of all, I really salute you for performing in that thing... Yes!
...cos I don't know, it must be really hard.
Unbelievable. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I actually did think chef,
but then I thought, "What chef can sing like that?"
I'm gonna go with models because I did think that as well.
Glamorous, somebody that can cook... Mm.
I know she's a very good cook.
Now, I don't know if she can sing like that.
Yeah. Sophie Dahl.
JONATHAN: You've made me realise... Again?
...if we're going the cookery route,
I don't wanna say this, but you know who it could be.
Oh, for goodness sake! Mary Berry.
It could be Mary Berry in there, ladies and gentlemen!
Oh, my God. Davina, what are you thinking?
There was a market stall and a veg stall behind
which looked like it could have been Bake Off,
but it was market veg, and I thought EastEnders.
Could be, yeah. Right, yeah.
So I think I'm gonna go Jacqueline Jossa
just because Jacqueline Jossa can sing like that.
JONATHAN: That's a good guess. That was her voice.
Mo Gilligan, what are you thinking, my friend?
Now, this person, she had a dating cookery show,
but she has been on Celebrity Bake Off,
so that might have been the clue with Paul... Oh, yes.
...cos Paul Hollywood is one of the judges as well. Yes.
I think it could be Scarlett Moffatt.
Interesting. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I was in the jungle with Scarlett, and she can really sing.
She can really sing, she can really dance.
Obviously, this costume doesn't allow that,
but inside, she might be dancing. LAUGHTER
Would you guys like some help? Yeah. Yes, please.
It's time to play Riddle Me This.
Air Fryer, your riddle, please.
"Girl from Chigwell." Oh.
Well, Jessie ] is from Chigwell.
JONATHAN: Is Jessie ] from Chigwell? Essex, is that in Essex?
Essex, it is in Essex. Hey! Oh! It is!
| got it right. Maybe it's Jessie ).
APPLAUSE
She's really in Essex, and as you said, her voice IS distinctive...
Jacqueline Jossa? No.
Could it be the GC, ladies and gentleman?
Oh! Could it be Gemma Collins in there?
LAUGHTER
I think from your reaction, you're thinking, "Probably not."
LAUGHTER
who fries beneath the disguise?
We'll only know when the mask comes off.
Give it up for Air Fryer! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
The panel served up a varied menu,
from Jessie ) to the GC.
But did they make a meal of it?
Who do you think's behind the mask?
Some very interesting names got said,
but have they got the right recipe?
After the break, we've got Bubble Tea.
I think that's known as a bubble tease.
See you in a bit.
# Who's that behind the mask? #
Welcome back to The Masked Singer,
or, if you're speaking to a baby, coochi coochi clue.
LAUGHTER
Before the break, Air Fryer really warmed us up,
but now, they are quali-tea.
It's Bubble Tea.
Bubble Tea, my favourite kind of tea
Hey, what's poppin'? Popping - pop music.
Get ready for the new craze, me!
Bubble Tea.
Bouncy, bubbly. Could be a bubbly person.
Looking good.
Fizzing.
You bet you've heard all about me.
"Emily Stella, Clapham Hotel." "In betweeners." What?
My flavour's bubbling right now.
Pretty pop-ular, you know?
Look at this! Love.
I'm an influencer, sugar babe.
Influencer. Sugar babe. Sugababes tour?
What's she at? Ranio.
Ranio. That must be someone's name.
A content maker, sweetie pie, on all platforms, darling.
# I have to praise you... # That's my song!
This is someone who knows Rita.
I love a gossip but better stop now...
Director. Planets.
...before this bubble bursts.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
SONG: 'Material Girl'
Whoo! Oh, this is a big tune. Yes!
# Some boys kiss me Some boys hug me
# I think they're OK... # Wow.
# If they don't give me Proper credit
# I just walk away
# They can beg, and they can plead But they can't see the light... #
I think I know the voice.
# Cos the boy With the cold hard cash
# Is always Mr Right
# Because we are living In a material world
# And I am a material girl
# You know that we are living In a material world
# And I am a material girl
# Some boys romance Some boys slow dance
# That's all right with me... #
Disguising their voice.
# Only boys That save their pennies
# Make my rainy day
# Because we are living In a material world
# And I am a material girl
# You know that we are living In a material world
# And I am a material girl
# Living in a material world
# And I am a material girl
# You know that we are living In a material world
# And I am a material girl
# A material, a material
world. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
That was great.
JOEL: Bubble Tea, everybody! Whoo.
So good.
Try and get to your straw. I wanna try and get to your straw.
Agh. LAUGHTER
Never mind, it's too high. It's too high.
Rita, I'm gonna come to you first.
First of all,
obsessed with that song choice, and you and the energy.
You look so much fun. Yes.
I love you already.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
The Sugababes clue was obviously, I felt like, so on the nose... Yeah.
...but when I heard you sing,
it really did resemble Heidi from Sugababes. Yeah.
That's a good guess. That's very good.
Mo Gilligan.
Oh, that was a fantastic performance, man.
It was poppin'. It was poppin'. LAUGHTER
So, looking at the clue package, I've seen Clapham.
I'm from South London. And that is very close to Chelsea,
so I thought it could be someone from Made In Chelsea,
like Georgia Toffolo.
JOEL: Yes. JONATHAN: Ah, yeah.
APPLAUSE That's a good guess.
Jonathan, what did you think?
What a great performance, and you look so cute...
So cute. ..50 amazing.
And there's so many clues in that,
and the one on the address box that said Emily Stellar.
Well, stellar means, like, a star... and maybe it's a star called Emily.
And the address, when you look further down,
it looked like it said, "In between the village this and that,”
but it actually said "In betweeners",
and so Emily from Inbetweeners would be Emily Atack.
She can sing. I think it's probably Emily Atack.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Well put together, Jonathan.
Davina McCall? I also thought Emily Atack.
Yeah. And now I've missed my chance.
I also saw "Talk Ranio", so I thought of Anita Rani. Nice.
JONATHAN: Yeah, because it said "Talk Ranio" not radio.
Anita Rani is a great shout. Do you guys want another clue?
Yes. Yes. Yes, please.
You're in luck, because it's riddlin' time.
Bubble Tea, take it away.
So, maybe, if it is somebody like Emily Atack,
they've done voice-over work.
You lend your voice, you become a character in something.
But lamb curls. You're a bit of a gym bunny.
Is that an exercise in the gym? Do you do lamb curls?
I don't think so. Unless maybe the curl's done like this.
LAUGHTER
It could be someone who's done Wallace and Gromit,
cos don't they have... they've got lambs there?
Yeah, there's... Got sheep or... Sheep.
Shaun the Sheep. Lots of people clapping in the audience.
We'll only know "brew's" inside the mask when it comes off.
Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Bubble Tea.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Have the panel got the "tea" on Bubble Tea's "identi-tea"?
Or are they clutching at straws?
Who do you think's behind the mask?
Am I an Inbetweener?
Or is it "Atack-tical” move to trick the panel?
So, studio audience, who do you want to keep in the competition?
Air Fryer or Bubble Tea?
The winner will be safe and the other will go into the bottom three.
Please welcome back Air Fryer and Bubble Tea.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Who are ya? Who are ya?
# Who are ya? who's that behind the mask? #
Yes, Air Fryer.
Look at Air Fryer.
Come on.
Love that. Love that.
Studio audience, remember,
you are voting for your favourite masked singer.
Vote now.
The results will be revealed right after the break, so don't move.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Who's that behind the mask? #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Welcome back to The Masked Singer,
where I'm stood in between an air fryer and Bubble Tea.
It's the match up of things you've heard of but don't understand.
Before the break, our studio audience voted
for their favourite masked singer.
The winner will be safely through,
but the other could be unmasked at the end of the show.
I can reveal the masked singer with the most votes
and staying to sing another day is...
...Air Fryer! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Congratulations, Air Fryer. Well done.
Head off down the tunnel, my friend. So good.
Oh, Bubble Tea!
Sadly, that means you're in tonight's bottom three.
Later, the panel will decide
whether you keep your place in the competition or be unmasked,
but for now, give it up for Bubble Tea, everybody.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Who are ya? Who are ya? Who's that behind the mask? #
Who will be joining them? Time for our next Face Off.
It's Owl versus Eiffel Tower.
WWow. Look at Owl.
Whoo, whoo, whoo's behind the mask?
It's Owl!
# Who are you? Who, who? Who, who? #
So sweet!
I love Owl.
Sacre bleu! It's Eiffel Tower!
# Voulez-vous coucher avec moi... #
Oh, chez chic!
# Voulez-vous coucher avec moi
# Voulez-vous coucher avec moi... #
Look at this. Very cool.
That's an amazing costume.
I bet you would love to nest in you.
LAUGHTER
Up first, "owl" let you into a secret.
It's Owl.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
MUSIC: "Baggy Trousers' by Madness
Hello. Owl's the name.
Double trouble's the game.
Double trouble?
They're a duo. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Owls. Solitary creatures, right?
MUSIC STOPS, HOOTS
Well, not me.
MUSIC: 'Dancing In The Moonlight' by Toploader
Think again. Cos I'm a night owl, me.
Someone who works in the evening.
Proper nocturnal.
Real popular too. Tons of mates.
Nine, ten, 11...
11. How many people on a football team?
11. 'BAGGY TROUSERS' RESUMES
Oranges, half-time.
See this kit?
Well, it takes an owl's eye to make it look so rad.
That was a gymnast's ribbon.
Tonight's gonna be a big hoot, I reckon.
But you know, big performance.
I hope it's better than last time.
Maybe that's like tactics.
Claws are crossed.
But will this beak peak to soon?
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
SONG: 'Padam, Padam'
# You look like fun to me
# You look a little like somebody I know
# And I can tell you how this ends
# I'll be in your head all weekend
# Shivers and butterflies
# I get the shivers then I look into Your eyes
# And I can tell that you're all in
# Cos I can feel your heart beating
# Padam
# Padam, pad am
# I hear it, and I know
# Padam, pad am
# I know you wanna take me home
# Padam And get to hold me close
# Padam, pad am
# When your heart goes Padam, pad am
# I hear it, and I know
# Padam, pad am
# I know you wanna take me home
# Padam And take off all my clothes
# Padam, pad am
# When your heart goes pad am
# This place is crowdin' up
# I think it's time For you to take me out this club
# And we don't need to use Our hearts
# Wanna see what's underneath That t-shirt

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Yes, Owl! Oh, man, that was good.
Give it up for Owl, everybody!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
That was so good.
Yes, shall we hug? Oh, my God. We're hugging.
We're hugging. Aww! We're hugging.
Just so cute. Can I please take you home to my newborn baby?
That'd be absolutely lovely. Davina? You first.
I absolutely adore you, and the distance that your head
can travel round is actually quite creepy.
LAUGHTER
But... SCREAMS
God! Wow!
Owl is giving me vibes that they are so chuffed with their performance.
I'm not sure if they are a trained singer.
But it was really, really hard to tell from that... Sorry, Owl
LAUGHTER
How dare you upset the owl?
Davina, man, you really ruffled some feathers.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Yes, Mo! Yes, Mo!
You, I think, are connected to sport. We saw the football.
Nine, ten, 11 people in a team.
So I think Alex Scott.
Alex Scott. Great shout. Like that.
Mo, what do you think?
I think I've got this one. what? OK, so nine, ten, 11.
Yeah. Right, there's 11 players on a football pitch.
Famous football team is Chelsea.
There's the whole school theme. She was in Waterloo Road.
It could be Chelsee Healey. Oh.
Chelsee Healey.
Like that. Rita, what are you thinking, my friend?
I think again, football-wise...
But what got me was the nocturnal part,
because I felt like musicians are usually nocturnal. Yes.
So it could be somebody that also plays football...
PERSON APPLAUDS Thank you. Thank you. My one friend!
Oh, my God! I might be doing something right!
Let's see. So, yeah, so it got me thinking, OK, nocturnal.
So this person, she writes songs, she's also a presenter.
And she played football for Liverpool.
Erm... I'm gonna go with Chelcee Grimes.
Wow. Yeah. Pulled out of the bag, there.
Finally, Jonathan Ross, what are you thinking, my friend?
I don't want to seem like a "twit to you"...
but I'm not gonna go down the football route.
I was looking at "double trouble" earlier on.
How about it's someone who's double trouble,
they've been successful twice?
Someone who's been in two bands. And it said they had 11 friends.
I've counted. In the first band they were in,
S-Club Juniors...
Seven. ..they had seven friends.
In the second band they were in, Saturdays, there were four friends.
Seven and four is 11.
This person is married to a footballer, Wayne Bridge.
I think it is Frankie Bridge, ladies and gentlemen.
That's who's out there.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
You want some more clues?
I think we need a game of Riddle Me This.
Owl is gonna give us a clue in the form of a riddle.
Find the answer, find the clue.
Owl, can we have your riddle, please?
Oh! Earlier on, the football could be a globe.
Which would make you think of Shakespeare's Globe,
Shakespeare Sister were famously parodied by French and Saunders.
It could be Siobhan from Shakespeare Sister.
Oh, wow.
Give it up for Owl, everybody!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
The panel think they know it "owl",
but were they really winging it with their guesses?
Who do you think's behind the mask?
Jonathan thinks I'm Frankie.
Too soon to tell.
But let's cross that "bridge” when we come to it.
Next up, "Eiffel" in love with this next act.
It's Eiffel Tower.
Bonjour, ca va?
Eiffel Tower is my name.
Call me Eiffel.
Bushtucker! I'm A Celebrity!
Ooh, la, la!
BIG BEN CHIMES London.
Perfect.
T) and S. Oh, what's that?
Camera, action.
Abbey Road. Beatles. Yeah.
There's so much to cover in this fantastic city.
Not French. Definitely not French.
Big Ben.
The Old Vic.
Primrose Hill.
And Shakespeare's Globe.
My diary's full to the brim.
TEXT ALERT
RITA GASPS Sex And The City!
Mon Cher, great British friends,

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Wow.
Eiffel Tower, everyone!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
So good.
Jonathan, I'm gonna come to you first.
Wow, well, great performance, great to see you out there.
I love the Eiffel Tower, I love that song.
One clue which we all got excited about -
when we saw the text from Mr Big,
so obviously, we're all thinking Sex And The City. Yes.
And the one I landed on, it might surprise you
because | didn't go with one of the regulars,
I've gone with someone who I know was in Sex And The City
very briefly, but is a star over here.
She played Kim Cattrall's best friend
in the one when they went to the Soho House in New York.
I'm gonna say Geri Horner.
Ooh.
APPLAUSE
Rita.
Can I just say, your voice is really incredible.
That was an amazing performance, Eiffel Tower.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Really good. Great voice.
Obviously, Mr Big, Sex And The City...
The Abbey Road thing made me think Beatles,
and where are The Beatles from? Liverpool.
And who from Sex And The City is also from Liverpool?
Kim Cattrall. Kim Cattrall.
And another thing, who made an appearance
in Sex And The City was Geri Halliwell.
LAUGHTER
Yes. That's who I said, her name's Geri Horner now.
I just... Oh.
I spent ten minutes building up. So you just...
Oh, is that who you were talking about? That's her name!
LAUGHTER
Can you just say Ginger Spice?
Davina McCall, what are you thinking?
Mr Big, Sex And The City. It talked about a diary,
I was thinking that Carrie Bradshaw's column in the paper
was basically a diary of her life,
and then the last scene with Mr Big was in Paris,
so she is Sarah Jessica Parker.
Oh, OK.
She played Carrie Bradshaw.
Audience liking that one.
Oh, this was a very hard one, but then I heard the voice,
this is a professional singer.
Now, I seen that Vic, I thought possibly EastEnders,
but that kind of led me down a route of acting.
It's a name we've mentioned a lot on the show,
and I think it could be Sheridan Smith.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Do you want a clue? Yes, please. Yes, please.
OK. Eiffel Tower is gonna give us a little riddle,
and the clue is in the answer.
Eiffel Tower, let's hear your riddle.
Ooh. Oh!
"Mon chant" is singing, isn't it?
"Etait tres bon." "My singing was very good."
Maybe it's... it's Kim Cattrall,
and she said in French something that they would say in Liverpool...
SCOUSE ACCENT: "Can I have a can of Coke?"
LAUGHTER
That almost sounds French, I love it.
OK, who's concealed beneath the steel?
You'll only know when the mask comes off.
It's Eiffel Tower, everybody.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Thank you, Eiffel Tower, wonderful stuff.
I hear what the panel are saying,
but have they hit the Mr Big-time?
"Voulez-vous" do you think's behind the mask?
Some spicy guesses there,
the panel could be "Geri" close to working out who I am.
So, studio audience, who do you want to see sing again,
Owl or Eiffel Tower?
The winner will stay in the competition,
the other could be unmasked at the end of the show.
Please welcome back Owl and Eiffel Tower!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Who are ya?
Who are ya?
# Who's that behind the mask? #
This is hard to call, this one.
Studio audience, you are voting for your favourite masked singer.
Vote now.
The results are in,
and I can reveal...
it was extremely close,
less than 1% in it.
Oh, my gosh.
Wow.
I can reveal the masked singer with the most votes,
and keeping their mask firmly on, is...
...Eiffel Tower!
# Who's that behind the mask? #
Wow.
Congratulations, Eiffel Tower.
# Voulez-vous coucher avec moi
# Ce soir
# Voulez-vous coucher avec moi. #
Aw! Owl, don't... So sad!
I'm sorry, that means you're in tonight's bottom three.
Later on, the panel will decide
whether you'll stay in the competition or be unmasked,
but for now, everyone, give it up for Owl, everybody.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE So good.
# Who are ya?
# Who's that behind the mask? #
Our final Face Off is coming up right after the break.
Welcome back to The Masked Singer,
or Deksam Regnis as it's known in backwards world.
LAUGHTER
Before the break, our studio audience saved Eiffel Tower,
leaving Owl alongside Bubble Tea in tonight's bottom three,
but who will be joining them?
It's time for our final Face Off of the night.
Whoo!
It's Chicken Caesar versus Piranha.
Wow. Wow, look at Piranha.
Ready to take it to the "Maximus”, it's Chicken Caesar!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
MUSIC: 'Hail Caesar'
Oh, wow.
I thought that was gonna be a salad.
Oh, my God.
The croutons on the shoulders is too much.
LAUGHTER
This show's won a BAFTA.
LAUGHTER
This intro might come back to bite me, it's Piranha!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
MUSIC: 'Soul Man'
whoo!
Piranha is so shy.
Is Piranha scared?
First up, are you ready to "colosseum" in action?
It's Chicken Caesar!
Whoo!
NEWCASTLE ACCENT: All hail Chicken Caesar.
What's that, Newcastle?
Geordie, Newcastle, yeah.
Friends, Romans, Brits, lend me your ears, man.
I am a salad of great ambition.
I haven't been cooked up, far from it.
I am a great Roman explorer.
That's a Brit.
And no way do I live a poultry life.
That's 2070 in numerals.
My chicken squawks can be heard around the world.
I'm here to make the competition historic.
Killers, Killers.
Brandon Flowers from The Killers.
I just hope you'll give me the thumbs up.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Yeah!
Wondered where my cheese guitar went.
SONG: 'Under The Bridge'
# Sometimes, I feel like I don't have a partner... #
whoo! OK.
# Sometimes, I feel like My only friend
# Is the city I live in
# The City of Angels
# Lonely as I am Together we cry... #
I do not know this voice at all.
# I don't ever want to feel
# Like I did that day
# Take me to the place I love
# Take me all the way
# Yeah
, yeah
# It's hard to believe that There's nobody out there
# It's hard to believe That I'm all alone
# At least I have her love
# The city, she loves me
# Lonely as I am Together we cry... #
whoo!
# I don't ever want to feel
# Like I did that day
# Take me to the place I love
# Take me all the way
# Yeah, yeah
# I say, no, no, no, no, no
# Yeah, yeah. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Wow.
Chicken Caesar, everybody!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
All hail the Caesar.
Wow, wow, wow.
The eggs are absolutely fantastic. Look at the egg skirt.
Oh. Jonathan, who do you think it is?
I loved that performance, and Caesar, you did a great job.
One of the clues is a very strong Geordie accent.
I think it might be someone who does have a Geordie accent,
who's overdoing it to make us think
it's someone who doesn't have a Geordie accent,
who's doing it so we wouldn't guess it's a real Geordie accent.
And I think the flowers might be a reference to someone's name,
one in particular I'm thinking,
that takes me back to a Geordie person, is the rose. Rosie.
I'm thinking it could be Chris Ramsey...
Ooh! ..referring to his wife, Rosie Ramsey.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Mo? "Cockledoodle-do" you know who it is?
Erm... That didn't get nearly enough from the audience.
LAUGHTER
That was really well thought out and quite difficult to say.
LAUGHTER
This is a very hard one.
I seen 1966, that's when England won the World Cup.
Yes! Thank you for that, Rita.
Sorry.
Rita was excited cos she didn't know about it until now.
Come on!
When I say the clue, you've got to say yes again. OK, got it.
In the shadows, there was a Brit Award... Yes!
No, after I say it.
Sorry.
In the shadows, there was a Brit Award. Yes!
Do you know who I think it is?
Yes?
LAUGHTER
I think it might be the England legend himself Geoff Hurst.
Whoa.
Ooh.
Can I jump off Mo here?
Yes!
Yes, you may.
I feel like the 1966, again, made me think England, World Cup.
Who's Geordie and had something to do with football?
Don't have a clue if he can sing - Alan Shearer.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Davina, is it Alan Shearer?
No.
I don't think that's a real Geordie accent.
However, I did think, oh, it could be a singer
because this person sang about the MM, the millennium,
he released a single with Brandon Flowers,
so I'm just gonna say Robbie Williams
cos I don't have another name.
APPLAUSE
OK, fancy another game of Riddle Me This? Yes.
Chicken Caesar, let's hear your riddle, please.
Man City?
Ooh. Oh, that would be football again.
Sex And The City? Oh.
It's Kim Cattrall.
LAUGHTER
You'll only see who's inside when this salad is undressed.
Let's hear it for Chicken Caesar!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
MUSIC: 'Hail Caesar'
Head off down the tunnel, my friend.
That is a tough one.
Are the panel onto a winner-winner chicken dinner,
or do they need to buck-buck up their ideas?
Who do you think's behind the mask?
The panel think they've had a peek behind the beak,
more like they've peaked too soon. He-he-he!
After the break, we have one last performance
before a celebrity is unmasked,
but first, how do you fancy winning a huge prize
worth over £118,0007?
Welcome back to The Masked Singer, or the camouflaged crooner -
shout out to all you thesaurus nerds.
Time for one last performance before the studio audience vote.
They're a little nervous backstage, so I told them to snap out of it.
It's Piranha.
Whoo! Yes!
# Round, round, get around I get around
# Yeah, get around
# Round, round, I get around. #
It's pretty scary, being underwater.
Scary. Scary?
Have you met the other p-piranhas?
Always s-snapping at you.
Also, the motion makes me a little sick.
I'm not keen.
The motion? Someone that maybe travels a lot.
I dream of getting away.
With plenty of fish in the sea, I'd rather be elsewhere.
Scotland. Wales.
Somewhere with more st-stability.
Brazilian Portuguese dictionary, sketch book.
Portuguese.
A nature presenter?
It's no laughing matter.
It's so much safer out here.
Comedian, clowns.
Or at least I thought it was.
This place is just petrifying.
He seems very shy. Very scared.
Not to mention...
I'm terrified what you'll think when you get to look at my singing.
Ooh, that seagull's looking at me funny.
Ahhh!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# There were nights When the wind was so cold... #
what?! Wow.
# That my body froze in bed If I just listened to it
# Right outside the window... #
Wow!
# There were days when the sun Was so cruel... #
what? what? what?
# All the tears turned to dust
# And I just knew my eyes Were drying up forever... #
Who are you, bruv?
# I finished crying In the instant that you left
# And I can't remember How or where or how
# And I banished every memory You and I had ever made... #
Oh!
# When you touch me like this
# When you hold me like that
# I just have to admit That it's all coming back to me
# When I touch you like this
# And if I kiss you like that
# It was gone with the wind
# But it's all coming back to me
# It's all coming back
to me now
# There were nights Of endless pleasure
# It was more than All your laws allowed
# Baby, baby, baby
# When I touch you like this
# And when you hold me Like that... #
Wow! Oh, my God.
# It was gone with the wind But it's all coming back to me... #
who is it?
# When you see me like this
# And when you see you like that
# Then we see what we want to see
# All coming back to me
# Can barely recall
# But it's all coming back To me now. #
HOLDS NOTE
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Now, that is what I'm talking about.
Piranha, everybody!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
That was amazing.
Jonathan, what did you think?
Well, like everyone else, I was blown away. That was amazing!
That was amazing.
I mean, I did not expect that voice
to be coming out of a piranha in pyjamas.
LAUGHTER
But, I mean, it struck me that that was,
it sounded like an American accent.
Did you hear, they didn't say seagull,
they said "seagal”, so maybe it's someone called Seagal.
LAUGHTER
There is the famous action star Steven Seagal.
LAUGHTER
AIL I know is, I hope you stick around the competition
because we'd all love to hear you sing some more.
Wow. But I've got no idea.
Rita, what are you thinking? I'm speechless.
It's one of the best vocalists I think we have on this whole show.
Wow. Yeah.
Just based off the vocal, it sounded a bit like Jamie Cullum to me.
DAVINA: Yeah? Yeah.
Davina McCall.
I mean, just to show you how far off I was,
my initial guess was Yvette Fielding. Wow.
LAUGHTER
Wow.
But when I listened to it,
I think he said "water". They might be American.
JONATHAN: Instead of water, they said "water".
Yes, so I think it might be somebody American.
It could be Jordan Knight from New Kids On The Block,
that's what I'm going with.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Mo.
Oh, my gosh. This isn't your first time,
you're definitely not a fish out of water.
Erm..
LAUGHTER
It's interesting you said the American accent
because it could be someone who feels like they're British,
but they spend a lot of time in America.
“I'm an English man in New York...
Piranhas, they bite you, it might sting, it could be Sting.
OK.
APPLAUSE
So, do you want a clue? Yes. Yeah.
OK, I think you need some help. Let's squeeze in one last riddle.
Piranha, take it away, my friend.
Special night, Oscars.
Yeah. Yeah.
Maybe they missed an award ceremony.
Yeah, maybe they didn't go to the Oscars
cos they were too busy eating people.
LAUGHTER
OK, who's the star inside Piranha?
We'll only know when the mask comes off.
Let's hear it for Piranha, everybody.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
MUSIC: 'Soul Man'
The panel did a lot of "fishing" for clues,
but was their "sting" operation a success?
Who do you think's behind the mask?
Some good guesses from the panel tonight,
but they need to cast their net wider to catch me.
So, studio audience, who do you want to see again,
Chicken Caesar or Piranha?
The winner will stay in the competition,
the other will join tonight's bottom three.
Please welcome back Chicken Caesar and Piranha.
Whoo!
Here they are.
Whoo!
Wow!
# Who are ya? Who are ya?
# Who's that behind the mask? #
Remember, studio audience,
you are voting for your favourite masked singer.
Vote... now.
They're both shaking. Ha.
The results are in.
I can reveal the masked singer with the most votes is...
...Piranha!
# Who's that behind the mask? #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Aw. Oh, Piranha, congratulations, head off down the tunnel.
We'll see you again next time.
I'm sorry, Chicken Caesar,
that means you're in tonight's bottom three.
Very shortly, the panel will decide
if you'll stay in the competition or be unmasked,
but for now, ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Chicken Caesar.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
We'll "Caesar" very soon.
There's not long to wait until tonight's unmasking.
Who's it gonna be, Bubble Tea, Owl, or Chicken Caesar?
All will be revealed right after the break.
# Who's that behind the mask? #
Welcome back to The Masked Singer.
It's like a very controversial new menu at Nando's.
LAUGHTER
Air Fryer, Eiffel Tower, and Piranha
have secured their places in the competition,
but for Bubble Tea, Owl, and Chicken Caesar,
their fates lie in the hands of our panel.
Here's a reminder of all three performances.
# Cos we are living In a material world
# And I am a material girl... #
# Padam, pad am
# I know you want to take me home Padam... #
# Take me all the way, yeah
# Yeah, yeah. #
whoo!
So, so good.
This is it.
Jonathan Ross... Ah.
...who have the panel decided to save first?
It's so tough, especially early in the competition,
we've only had a chance to hear everyone sing once. Yeah.
All three of you were great.
However, the masked singer we have decided to save first is...
AUDIENCE SHOUT OUT NAMES
...Bubble Tea. Bubble Tea.
# Who's that behind the mask? #
Bubble Tea. That leaves Owl and Chicken Caesar.
Jonathan, please tell us the second masked singer you'd like to save.
So, the second masked singer we're saving this evening is...
AUDIENCE SHOUT OUT NAMES
.Owl. Owl.
Yay!
Well done, Owl and Bubble Tea, head off down the tunnel.
Congratulations.
# Who are ya? Who are ya?
# Who's that behind the mask? #
Oh, Chicken Caesar. Sorry.
Oh, sadly, your time on The Masked Singer...
Let me put my arms around your croutons.
...has come to an end.
In just a moment, you'll be removing your mask,
but first, panel, who do you think it is?
Mo, I'm coming to you first.
I'm gonna stick with my original guess and go with Geoff Hurst.
Geoff Hurst, OK. Davina?
I am not confident with this, but I'm gonna say Robbie Williams.
Robbie Williams. What about you, Rita Ora?
I'm gonna stick with football and say Alan Shearer.
Alan Shearer. Jonathan Ross, what are you thinking?
Maybe the clue's in the emperor, Caesar was a great emperor,
there was Charlemagne, Solomon, Alexander,
it could be any one of them.
But I'm gonna stick to my first guess, I'm gonna say Chris Ramsey,
but I think I'm wrong.
Well, there is only way to find out.
It's time to reveal the identity of our masked singer.
Who's behind the mask? Everyone.
ALL: Take it off! Take it off! Take it off!
I can't wait to see who this is.
ALL: Take it off! Take it off!
Take it off! Take it off!
No idea.
Take it off! Take it off!
Take it off!
Who is it? Come on!
Take it off!
It's Alexander Armstrong!
Alexander! What?!
I should have got it!
Hello, mate. How are you, Joel?
It's Alexander Armstrong!
What a reveal! Well, thank you.
And I thought I recognised the voice.
That voice was amazing!
Wow. Thank you.
You know why I'm kicking myself,
I was thinking, "Could it be an emperor?”
And I even said Alexander. You said Alexander!
But you know why,
I don't think of you as Alexander, I think of you as Xander.
Yes, you're right.
Not wishing to be too personal... Yes.
But 1966, is love of football, or your age?
No, that is because on my show, on Classic FM,
you can win my big old mug.
It was a mug, and it had to be officially old if it was from 1966.
It's quite tenuous!
We was never gonna get that.
The BRIT Award, wasn't the BRIT Award
because you hosted the Classical BRITs?
I hosted the Classical BRITSs.
Yes!
Ah, I see. That was it, yeah.
Why did you decide to do the show? I've been longing to do it.
Every year, I'm always getting messages saying,
"Are you so-and-so? Are you Traffic Cone?"
I always say, "Oh, maybe!"
LAUGHTER
Never blooming was.
What's weird, though, often when people take their mask off,
it looks weird standing in the costume,
but somehow, it kind of suits you.
Doesn't it, though? It becomes me.
You look like a very regal chicken.
You made it fashion.
Have you enjoyed your experience?
I really have. I have. I've absolutely... I've loved it.
I mean, it's the beginning of the journey.
And the end of the journey.
But what a journey it's been!
What a journey!
Give it up for Xander Armstrong!
CHEERING Oh, thank you very much.
We'll be back next Saturday night with another absolute guess-fest.
Stay here on ITV1 for brand-new Limitless Win.
But now, for one final time, unmasked at last,
ladies and gentlemen, it's Alexander Armstrong!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I know exactly who that is. Wow!
Potentially wrong.
And it will be tears of a clown, as one will be unmasked.
Oh, my God!
No way!
