EPIC MUSIC
NARRATOR: Welcome to The Temple Of Clues.
Full of mystery and wonder.
Tonight...
..all eight celebrities come together for the first time.
Eiffel Tower.
JONATHAN:What a great voice. Whoa-wee!
Dippy Egg.
I'm a dippy egg. No yoke!
Cricket.
What?! Marvellous.
Owl.
My head's in a spin.
Piranha.
Please give me your love tonight. Oh!
Bigfoot.
Woohoo! Bigfoot's back, all right?
Airfryer.
YODELS
And Maypole.
RITA:You have so much energy.
GIGGLES
Special guest-star Ellie Goulding joins the panel.
I'm so confused.
But whose identity will be discovered?
ELLIE:That's so good!
RITA:I'm in shock!
The notes that you were hitting were perfection.
This is The Masked Singer.
Can you unlock the secrets inside?
# Who are ya?
# Who are ya? Who are ya?
# Who's that behind the mask? #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
LAUGHTER
Dammit, you saw me!
Welcome to The Masked Singer, everybody!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I thought you wouldn't spot me because I'm in "clue-mouflage".
Hm. LAUGHTER
For the first time this series,
all eight remaining characters are in the building!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Whoo!
With so many hidden identities to uncover,
we're gonna need some help.
It's the panel, everybody.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I'm coming. DAVINA:Come on, Joel.
I'm coming up.
I'm gonna take three steps at once.
LAUGHS That looked uncomfortable.
OK.
Now you see him, now you "Mo-n't".
It's Mo Gilligan! CHEERING
She could never blend into the background. It's Davina McCall.
CHEERING
Is it really her, or an "impersonat-Ora"?
OK, that was... that was pretty bad.
Yeah. It's Rita Ora!
CHEERING
I'd love to "masque-raid" his wardrobe,
it's Jonathan Ross.
CHEERING
Thank you, thank you. You'd be very welcomed.
And our very special guest is Ellie "Gold-ing"!
# Always believe in your soul. #
Wonderful to have you with us. Thank you for coming along.
Thank you for having me.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Are you a big, big fan of singing in masks?
Oh, yeah, of course. Course.
Have any of you heard Ellie sing live?
CHEERING
She is amazing. I mean, we work with Rita, she's not bad,
but when you hear someone who can really... Do you know what I mean?
Rita, you look like a chandelier,
and Jonathan looks like a toilet wall.
LAUGHTER
You look like you're about to give Batman a hard time.
LAUGHTER
OK.
Davina, this show is absolutely stacked tonight.Mm.
We've got eight characters. Can you handle that many?
The more singers, the better.
Yeah.
OK. Good luck, everyone.
Whoa!
Tonight, after all eight performances,
our studio audience will vote for their favourite.
Two characters with the fewest votes will then face the panel,
and they decide who is unmasked.
And listen up.
Every song tonight is a clue to the singer's identity,
so play close attention to the tunes and the clue packages,
parts of which feature stunt doubles.
Er, what? That's news to me!
LAUGHTER Right, time for our first act.
Baguette ready, baguette steady, baguette go!
FRENCH ACCENT: It's Eiffel Tower.
# And through it all
# She offers me protection... #
Last week, perfect.
The panel are not even close to naming me...
That could be Alison Moyet in there.
Maybe Paris Hilton. Sarah Jessica Parker.
It could be Kim Cattrall.
..are they?
FRENCH MUSIC
Paris - home.
I might be made of steel, but I'm still human.
There's a lot of travelling. Yes, exactly.
Sightseeing. Ooh, "Mart Wallyberg".
There's been thrillers, oui, but also disasters.
Money problems? A lot of debt.
Somebody that had money. Yeah.
But working with Winona, Ellen and Jude,
and some kids that were new to the scene.
# Freaky Friday. #
Jamie Lee Curtis.
Wow-ee!
And I haven't forgotten when
I knocked a towering Great British icon off the top step.
Maybe someone was at number one, and she knocked them off the top.
Time to climb down myself and get back on the stage
for the performance of my life.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# We were good, we were gold
# Had a dream that can't be sold
# We were right till we weren't
# Built a home and watched it burn
# Mm, I didn't wanna leave you
# I didn't wanna lie
# Started to cry, then remembered I
# I can buy myself flowers
# Write my name in the sand... #
She's got a great voice.
# Talk to myself for hours
# Say things You don't understand... #
That's so good. I know this voice.
# I can take myself dancing
# And I can hold my own hand
# Yeah, I can love me better than
# You can
# Can love me better I can love me better, baby... #
I think it's an older voice. Don't you? Like, an older voice.
Yeah, it is an older voice.
# I can love me better, baby
# Can love me better
# I
# I didn't wanna leave you
# I didn't wanna fight
# Started to cry Then I remembered I... #
Damn. Right?
# I can buy myself flowers
# Write my name in the sand
# Talk to myself for hours
# Say things you don't understand
# I can take myself dancing
# I can hold my own hand
# Yeah, I can love me better than
# You can... #
Whoo! Yes!
# Yeah, yeah
# Can love me better
# I can love me better, baby
# Can love me better
# I can love me better, baby
# Can love me better
# I can love me better, baby. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Whoo! Wow.
I'm sure I know that voice.
God, me too.
Eiffel Tower, everybody!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I loved that. Jonathan, I'm gonna come to you first.
Well, what a great voice you have. Wow!
And wasn't that a great start to the show?
Yeah! Great start to the show. Thank you for that.
I think it's someone from a band who had lots of hits in the '90s,
and I know they had a number one album,
so that would make sense of that clue that said,
"I once knocked an icon off of the top spot." Yes.
Because I think it was around the time that Oasis and Blur
were battling it out, and this band knocked them off.
The band's name is Texas. DAVINA GASPS
But it's inspired by the film Paris, Texas. Ah.
I think it's Sharleen Spiteri!
CHEERING Sharleen Spiteri?
Do you think you recognise her voice?
For a second, I thought...
I don't know why, but from some of the clues,
I thought maybe Bonnie Tyler.
Bonnie Tyler? Yeah.
Your voice is one of the best voices we've had, ever,
on The Masked Singer. It's so incredible.
CHEERING
I feel like it's somebody that's husky,
that has so much experience.
I'm gonna hit you with Macy Gray. Whoa.
AUDIENCE:Ooh!
JONATHAN:It is a good guess.
Love that. Davina, what are you thinking?
So, looking at all of the clues, I heard Freaky Friday,
and she has got a husky voice,
so I think it is Lindsay Lohan.
OK. You thought that? APPLAUSE
I like that.
Mo Gilligan.
The clue is in the song, right? The song is called Flowers.
Yep.Now, this actress, she was in Doctor Who,
she played Rose. She can sing.
I think it's Billie Piper.
Oh. Oh!
ELLIE:That's a good one.
Well done, everyone.
Voulez-vous coucher avec "mask"?
We'll only know when the mask comes off.
Give it up for Eiffel Tower!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
the panel have guessed some "Eiffel-ly" big names,
but have they "triomphe-d"?
Who do you think's behind the mask?
The panel think the guesses are Macy "great".
A professional singer?
Well, I try!
Time for a quick break now,
but don't worry, we've "hatched" a plan.
Dippy Egg is up "neggst".
Egg.
# Who's that behind the mask? #
Welcome back to The Masked Singer,
where there's not really much going on, to be honest.
Well, there's a singing air fryer,
we finally found Bigfoot,
the Eiffel Tower's turned up - didn't know that could move.
And the weirdest thing - you lot watch it.
LAUGHTER
Up next, it's Dippy Egg.
# There's no business Like show business
# Like no business I know... #
I'm extremely happy with my performance last time.
Anton Du Beke.
I think it's Ed Balls.
Stephen Mulhern.
It's Dan Walker.
I'm not "Walkering" out of t'competition just yet.
VOCALISES
I go dippy for sport.
I've done miles and miles of it.
Walked miles and miles of it, Proclaimers.
But over the rainbow.
But hands down, my favourite... RECORD SCRATCH
..is Rooney.
UP-TEMPO MUSIC
Maybe someone that is a sports star.
So, yeah, I might be dippy, but I've answered large questions
and smashed results.
No yolk.
I know what you're thinking - what came first...
May the "forth" be with you.
There's a bridge in Scotland called the Forth Bridge.
..track or field? The chicken or the egg?
That's a tough question to crack.
# Fried my little brains... #
I only hope this egg isn't last tonight.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Yay! Dippy Egg!
# When I wake up
# Well, I know I'm gonna be
# I'm gonna be the man That wakes up next to you
# When I go out
# Well, I know I'm gonna be
# I'm gonna be the man Who goes along with you
# If I get drunk
# Well, I know I'm gonna be
# I'm gonna be the man That gets drunk next to you... #
Is it fake? They might be Scottish.
# Hey, I know I'm gonna be
# I'm gonna be the man Who's havering to you
# But I would walk 500 miles
# And I would walk 500 more... # How mad.
# Just to be the man Who walks a thousand miles
# To fall down at your door
# Da-da-da-da
# Da-da-da-da-la Da-da-la-da-da-da-da... #
I want a Guinness. That's Ireland.
# Oh, I know I'm gonna be
# I'm gonna be the man Who's lonely without you... #
Yeah! Whoo! Yes!
# Well, I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man... #
Hello. Oh!
# ..who's coming home to you
# But I would walk 500 miles
# And I would walk 500 more
# Just to be the man Who walks a thousand miles
# To fall down at your door
# Da-da-da-da # Da-da-da-da
# Da-da-la-da-da-la Da-da-la-da-da
# Da-da-da-da # Da-da-da-da
# Da-da-la-da-da-la Da-da-la-da-da... #
Whoo!
# But I would walk 500 miles
# And I would walk 500 more
# Just to be the man Who walks a thousand miles
# To fall down at your door. #
Yes! Yeah!
Whoo!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Best performance he's done so far.
Yes.
Wow!
Dippy Egg, everyone!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I think that's what you call a Scotch egg.
LAUGHTER
Jonathan, who is it?
Obviously, that was a tribute to all things Scottish on stage.
Do we have any Scottish people in this evening?
Wow. So no-one was offended. Great. OK.
LAUGHTER
The song itself, 500 Miles by The Proclaimers,
would it be too wild to think it might be Charlie or Craig
from The Proclaimers?
APPLAUSE
I am gonna go, though, with one other clue that leapt out for me.
The red bobble hat and the red mask made me think of something red.
Not Charlie or Craig,
but from Red Dwarf, I think it's Craig Charles.
Oh!
Who do you think it is, Ellie?
Erm, I don't know. Cool!
LAUGHTER Tell them the one
that you whispered to me because of the "Walkering" clue.
I thought this might be completely off,
but I wrote down Gary Lineker.
APPLAUSE Yes.
Rita, you did mention the legs, you were saying he had sporty legs.
Yes, I said the calves look a bit like they've been exercised,
you know what I mean? I originally went down the rugby route
cos I saw a rugby ball, right?
And the only name I could think of is Jonny Wilkinson.
Oh.
APPLAUSE
What are you thinking, Davina?
I think sporty.
Somebody who has possibly done kind of a marathon,
maybe for charity.
When it said, "I've answered large questions,"
I was thinking PMs Questions.
The red scarf and everything, I was thinking of Labour.
I still think it's Ed Balls.
Ed Balls.
Yeah, that makes sense. But what about Gordon Brown, though,
if you're going with Scottish Labour politicians?
I know Gordon Brown.
Are those Gordon Brown's calves? They're definitely not his calves.
I love that I'm on a television show where I get to say,
is that Gordon Brown's calves?
LAUGHTER
Mo Gilligan, who is it?
Joel Dommett, tonight, I am on it.
The person in there was singing that song with Scottish passion.
I could smell the haggis in the room.
That was me, sorry. LAUGHTER
I've seen a lot of sport references, so I'm thinking Olympics,
and if you haven't walked 500 miles, you might have cycled 500 miles.
Mm.So, under there, it could be Sir Chris Hoy.
Yes! Oh!
APPLAUSE
Can I throw another one in? Throw one in, Jonathan.
If we go back to The Proclaimers,
and one of their songs, it was called Sunshine On Leith.
Oh, yeah. Could it be...
Do you recognise those calves, Davina?
Is that Prue Leith?
LAUGHTER
She likes a colourful outfit.
Well, our brains are scrambled.
It's Dippy Egg, everyone!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Are the panel getting any closer,
or are they 500 miles away?
Who do you think's behind the mask?
The panel think I could be an athlete.
I'm a dippy egg, not a runny one!
OK, people, let's keep those clues coming.
Up next, he's got a "wicket" sense of humour,
it's Cricket.
LAUGHTER
# This is the rhythm of the night
# The night... #
Last week was super fun.
The panel played a jolly good game with their guesses.
Could be Mr Motivator.
Marvin Humes. That's Lamar.
But they are no masterminds.
# The rhythm of my life. #
MAN: Cricket, take one.
Hello there. Marvellous.
That's a fake voice, isn't it? Very fake. Yes.
One has had a few marks on the board.
And surely good innings.
Innings, been around for a long while.
Whoops!
Smash Hits. Smash Hits, yes.
I was in a league of my own.
It was my calling.
"W.Ebbe." Simon Webbe.
Ah, and it was third.
# There'll always be an England... #
I went from playing the village green to playing arenas
and winning awards.
DOORBELL RINGS
You must be going around in circles guessing.
It's rather fun confusing you, I must confess.
"Love from MB."
Michael Buble? Mary Berry!
And tonight, a marvellous opportunity
to have a jolly good bash.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Hello, Cricket.
# I want you to breathe me
# Let me be your air
Ooh. That's good, that's good.
# Let me roam your body freely
# No inhibition
# No fear
# How deep is your love? #
Wow! Wow!
# Is it like the ocean?
# What devotion?
# Are you?
# How deep is your love? #
Wow.
# How deep is your love?
# Is it like the ocean?
# Pull me closer
# Again
# How deep is your love?
# Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
# How deep is your love? #
VOCALISES
# Open up my eyes again
# Tell me who I am
# Let me in on all your secrets... #
This is so good.
# No inhibition
# No sin
# How deep is your love?
# Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh... #
VOCALISES
# Your love
Wow!
# Your love... #
Whoo! Yeah!
SUSTAINS HIGH NOTE
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
What?!
Wow! Are you serious?
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Give it up for Cricket, everyone!
Wow!
Wow, wow, wow!
I'm in... I'm in shock. Rita. Yeah.
I'm in Cricket shock. LAUGHTER
Do you know what I think? This has to be one of the best voices
we've had on The Masked Singer. Yeah.
CHEERING
I think, again, from somebody I loved growing up,
and I just still do love them, actually.
It's... You want to say it with me?
Or do you want to say it? You say it. No, you say it.
Because you're a guest on here. I really want you to say it together,
and one of you says a different name. That's what I really want.
So, three, two, one...
BOTH:Lamar. Ooh!
APPLAUSE
Jonathan?
Last time, Olly Murs guessed that it might be Lamar.
I think it's one of those ones where if three professional singers
have come on and said Lamar,
then I would be crazy to say it's anyone else and Mary Berry.
LAUGHTER
I don't think that is Lamar.
What? Cos I've seen some clues here.
It said countryside,
so I thought maybe someone that moved to a different country.
And then they was playing huge arenas.
The only other person that I think has a very soulful,
seductive voice like that,
I think, ladies and gentlemen, I think it could be Seal.
RITA:Wow, that's a great guess.
A great guess.
Davina, who do you think it is?
What I think's really clever about you, Cricket,
the first time you sang, you absolutely fooled us.
I wrote down, "Not a singer." MO GASPS
Wow. But tonight, it was incredible, so thank you.
CHEERING Imagine doing that.
That it be like me coming out and not being funny. Am I right?
LAUGHTER
I know "S Webbe" feels like is too obvious a clue,
but I think Simon could sound like that.
CHEERING
How does the song choice help with deciding who this is?
It doesn't help me at all with Simon Webbe.
OK.
Who's thaaat?
We'll only find out when the mask comes off.
Let's hear it for Cricket, everyone.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Have the panel sealed the deal,
or are they caught in a "Simon Webbe"?
Who do you think's behind the mask?
Marvellous try, ladies,
but if there's any justice in the world,
I won't be revealing who I am tonight.
Coming up after the break, it's Owl.
Get to the choppa! "Owl" be back!
# Who's that behind the mask? #
Welcome back to The Masked Singer,
the show that keeps you guessing till they start undressing.
No, no! No, not you, Jonathan.
Please. Save us.
Time... Time for our next act now.
Is it me, or is it "hoot" in here?
It's Owl.
Yeah!
# Don't stop moving To the funky, funky beat
# Don't stop moving... #
My performance last week, it was a dream!
# Around, round... #
The panel went "owl-in" with their guesses.
Maisie Adams.
Kym Marsh. Angela Griffin.
But have they worked out "hoo" I am?
# don't stop moving To the S Club beat. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Being a night owl,
Fridays became flight night.
Someone that might have had to travel on Friday.
Being nocturnal don't mean I sleep all day, though.
You don't become...
How should I say it?
..an icon by being a lazy owl.
So maybe that's someone that's quite active.
"Mr John K."
# That's what I go to school for... #
We're violent creatures. Well, not me. No way.
Maybe they're on a chat show, or they have their own chat show.
Look, "Celebrity Apple Juice." Get rid of Apple.
Celebrity Juice.
And I'm bringing the noise for tonight's performance.
What does that mean? "CUBEE2CUBEE."
My head's in a spin!
What an honour, guys.
# That's what I go to school for. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Happy talkin'
# Talkin', happy talk
# Talk about things you like to do
# You got to have a dream... #
Not a singer. Good performer, though.
# If you don't have a dream
# How you gonna have a dream Come true?
# Talk about the moon
# Floating in the sky
# Looking like a lily on a lake
# Talk about a bird
# Learning how to fly
# Making all the music She can make... #
I think she's a very good entertainer, like, talker.
# Happy talkin', talkin'... #
Presenter or comedian or an actor.
Yeah.
# Talk about things You like to do... #
Cute.
# You've got to have a dream
# If you don't have a dream
# How you gonna
# Have a dream come true?
# If you don't... # Ah!
I'm deaf.
# And you never have a dream
# Then you'll never
# Have a dream
# Come true. #
Whoo!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Aw, she's really pleased with herself.
I love this person.
It's the best school trip ever.
Give it up for Owl, everyone!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Wow.
Yes!
Mo, how good was that?
I know who this is, you know. What?
Some of the clues was like, "What an honour, guys."
Maybe they have an OBE, MBE.
But the clues in the song title cos it was talking.
And now their career is a sports pundit,
there's a lot of football clues,
and that is Alex Scott. That's Alex Scott in there.
You think it's Alex Scott?
I'm telling you, if that's not Alex Scott,
I will do the next show in just...
a pair of boxers and socks. I promise you.
CHEERING
Everyone heard that. We got that on tape, right?
LAUGHTER
Davina McCall.
I'm just really looking forward to seeing Mo in his pants and socks
because that is not Alex Scott. My best as well.
No, we've... It's wintertime.
LAUGHTER
OK, so, I saw the "Celebrity Juice" on the cup in the locker,
and last week, we saw a bikini in a box
and we heard the reference "Splash".
This person is a presenter of Splash, she's a sports pundit,
she also has a podcast, which is a reference to talking.
I think it's Gabby Logan.
Gabby Logan.
What are you thinking, Ellie?
I was thinking the same thing. I was thinking national treasure,
and it's somebody who clearly has a voice, is a storyteller.
I wrote down Jo Whiley, I wrote Sue Barker, Fiona Bruce.
I went with all of them.
Rita, what are you thinking? I actually really love Owl.
CHEERING
If I go to the VT, I saw "Celebrity Juice",
so I went down that path.
So I actually thought, from the clues, Emily Atack.
Yes. Yeah.
Jonathan, who is it?
This is my guess, and it's kind of a bit out there.
Has anyone seen the film The Quiet Place?
Yes. Kind of a big sci-fi film.
And the star of that is a British actress,
and her husband's name, who directed that film,
is John Krasinski.
And you saw there, it said Mr John K.
And if you had been in a quiet place,
you would be happy to talk when you came out at the other side,
so my guess is the brilliant actor Emily Blunt.
CHEERING
Emily Blunt.
If I'm wrong, I'll wear a suit made out of wallpaper.
LAUGHTER
I might know someone who's got one.
OK, "twit-twho's" inside the mask?
We'll only know when it comes off.
Let's hear it for Owl, everybody.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Great work, Owl.
I hope Mo's guess it's right
because, to be blunt, no-one wants to see him in his undies.
Who do you think's behind the mask?
Mo in his pants?
Well, that will certainly ruffle some feathers!
Are you keeping up?
Ooh! Next up, they're a lover, not a biter,
it's Piranha.
Here we go.
# Treasure... #
Is this a dream?
# That is what you are... #
Is this a fantasy?
I think it's Donnie Wahlberg. Gaz Coombes.
It could be Keith Duffy.
I don't want to get caught just yet.
# Oh-ohhh. #
SONG: 'Shakin' All Over' by The Guess Who
It doesn't take much to get my knees knocking...
# Shakin' all over... #
Maybe someone that's a dancer.
..and my body rocking, but this is fin-tastic.
Fake posh accent.
# Quivers down the back bone... #
Standing up in front of the dads and mums,
daughters and the rest,
I'm not letting stage fright freeze me in place.
Ah, stage fright, it might be someone
that's been on the West End.
Waah!
A piranha's usually less barker, more biter.
Oh, it's a magpie.
It might be someone from Newcastle.
But I'm such nervous fish,
I should see a doctor to master my fears.
"Doctor to master my fears." Like Doctor Who?
There's still a fair way to go. My goal is to just keep swimming.
Please, give me your love tonight.
Not another seagull!
Me no likey! PIRANHA SCREAMS
"Me no likey"? I'm so confused.
CHEERING
# Could hardly believe it When I heard the news today
# I had to come and get it Straight from you... #
Oh, my God. That's a great voice.
This is sensational.
# They said you were leavin' Someone swept your heart away... #
I know this voice.
# From the look upon your face I see it's true
# Tell me all about it Tell me all the plans you're making
# Oh-ohh
# Tell me one thing more Before I go
# Tell me, how am I supposed To live without you? #
Oh, God, goosebumps.
# Now that I've been Loving you so long
# How my supposed To live without you? #
Wow, amazing.
# How am I supposed to carry on? #
Oh!
# When all that I've been living for is gone. #
RITA ORA CHEERS That was good.
# I don't wanna know the price I'm gonna pay for dreaming... #
Wow.
# Oh, now that your dream Has come true
# But tell me
# How am I supposed To live without you
# Now that I've been Loving you so long?
# How am I supposed To live without you? #
Whoo!
# How am I supposed to carry on?
# All that I've been living for
# Is gone. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Wow, wow, wow.
Give it up for Piranha, everybody.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I mean, wow.
Such an incredible voice.
Whoever it is has certainly been doing their scales.
Am I right, guys? Yeah.
Rita, how good was that? The voice is insane.
The notes that you were hitting, it was pitch perfect.
It was perfection. Perfection.
CHEERING
You have such a clean tone.
So, I felt like you were someone along the lines of Jamie Cullum,
who is just an incredible vocalist and just so talented as a musician.
Jonathan.
We've been getting all sorts of names.
I'm just looking at the clues.
I think they said Quinn instead of fin at some stage.
And, of course, from X Factor, he came second, Ray Quinn.
He had an amazing voice.
Ray Quinn. Ellie, who do you think it is?
I don't know. I had a little bit of Danny from McFly in there.
Yeah. Did anyone else think it? Just Rita.
I actually agree with that. Yeah.
I love that, that's a great shout. Thank you, Ellie.
Davina. I mean, I was looking at the clues.
"Less barker, more biter."
Yes.And "Less barker", he replaced Sue Barker
on Question Of Sport. Yeah.
And Michael Bolton, who's from Bolton? Bolton!
Paddy McGuinness.
This is good, Davina McCall. Paddy McGuinness.
Mo Gilligan.
You know who I think you are?
From High School Musical, someone who can obviously act,
but when they was on the show, they was singing,
I think it could be Zac Efron.
Wow.
JONATHAN:That would be a treat.
We'll see who's jammed inside the jim-jams
when the mask comes off.
Give it up for Piranha, everyone.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# How are the panel supposed To work out who Piranha is? #
Maybe you have an idea of who is behind the mask.
Jonathan thinks I might have the x-factor.
Am I about to rain on his parade?
PIRANHA LAUGHS
Coming up, we've got Bigfoot.
I told him it was time for a break, and he fractured his metatarsal.
What a silly boy. HE GIGGLES
# Who's that behind the mask? #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Welcome back to The Masked Singer.
Where have you been? You've missed loads!
Every song tonight is a clue, so listen up and get down.
Next, the piece de resistance, it's Bigfoot.
CHEERING
# Come fly with me Let's fly, let's fly away... #
Woo-hoo!
After last week's performance,
I feel like I can really stand up tall.
Stand-up comedian.
I let my fluffy hair down. Rupert Grint.
He is David Seaman.
I think it's Vinnie Jones.
# Let's fly away... #
This Bigfoot is a wild target to catch.
Bigfoot's back all right, and I'm having a ball.
Ooh, soccer, football.
You might be surprised to know
your furry friend loves being part of a pack.
Waterloo Road again.
#squadgoals.
But I'm a good sport.
And even when I'm out there alone... One man show?
..that stage feels a lot like home. Who's a ginger comedian?
Whoops-a-daisy.
# To be left outside alone When it's cold out here... #
I better be careful... # Well, maybe you should know... #
..or it could cost-a my place in the competition.
Cost-a, cost-a!
And no-one wants to be sent off out of here.
"Sent off." That's another sports reference.
Have you worked out who I am? Not yeti!
# I need to pray. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Re-rewind, enter selecta Enter, selecta!
# Making moves, yeah On the dancefloor
# Got our groove on, dancing Yeah, real hardcore
# From the front to the back That's where I was at
# You know, you know The Artful Dodger do it like that
# With Craig David all over your... Boink!
# DJ, it's all up to you
# When the crowd go wild Tell me, what you gonna do? #
I know who it is. I know who it is.
# Re-rewind When the crowd say, "Bo Selecta"
# Re-rewind When the crowd say, "Bo Selecta." #
Who, who, who? I'll write it down, I'll write it down.
# This goes out to all the DJs
# Hey, yeah
# Hey, hey, yeah... #
It sounds like him so much.
# Making moves, yeah On the dancefloor
# Got our groove on, yeah Real hardcore
# From the front to the back That's where I was at
# You know, you know The Artful Dodger do it like that
# With Craig David all over your... Boink

# Re-rewind When the crowd say, "Bo Selecta"
# Re-rewind This goes out to all the D-DJs. #
CHEERING
Got it!
LAUGHTER
Bigfoot!
It's Bigfoot, everybody!
There you go. There's your crutch, you legend.
Oh, God.
So good. So good.
Davina, what you think? Oh, my gosh.
Me and Mo, we were laughing so much there
because Mo thinks he's recognised the person's voice.
Joel, remember when I said to you I'm gonna get one?
Yeah. I've really got this one.
OK.There was the reference of Soccer Six,
and that remains me of doing Soccer Aid.
And a good friend of mine, who is on Soccer Aid,
and I knew it mainly from the voice, that is Alex Brooker.
That's Alex Brooker.
Oooh.
And, Joe, you can see, Bigfoot is on its last leg.
Interesting.
MO LAUGHS
How does that make sense with Craig David - Rewind?
I have no idea, but I heard the voice.
Maybe Alex Brooker just likes to chill on Sundays.
LAUGHTER
Davina.
I was thinking somebody who's played in Soccer Six,
he also did Blue Go Mad in Ibiza years ago.
Blue Go Mad in Ibiza, I remember that.
Craig David was out in Ibiza every summer,
so they must know each other.
So, I think it might be Antony Costa.
Going Antony Costa? Love that. Jonathan.
You're a comedian, you're a funny person.
In the clue package, it said "stand up".
You could be right, Mo, but I don't think it's Alex.
If it is the Last Leg, I think it may well be Adam Hills.
CHEERING
Interesting. Rita, who do you think it is?
I went down the Scottish route, actually.
The Loch Ness Monster thing really got me.
Then I thought comedian!
I went down the route of Frankie Boyle.
Oh, you're giving us Frankie Boyle again?
He looks a bit like Frankie Boyle. Yeah.
They've got the same beard, you know? I like that.
What are you thinking, Ellie? I went with something really random,
which was Craig David pretending not to be Craig David.
I love that. That's not that random on the show.
There was a bit of a tune in there, I thought, and a good tone.
So, I thought maybe it's Craig David pretending to be really terrible.
LAUGHTER
That's harsh, but I really enjoy where your mind's going with it.
As in, if Craig tried really hard to be really bad,
it would still be quite good, that's what I was trying to say.
You did well, Ellie, don't worry.
We'll only see who is inside when his foot's loose.
Let's hear it for Bigfoot, everyone.
CHEERING Well done, Bigfoot.
I love you to death.
Are the panel's guesses coming to the boil
or are they simply over the hills?
Who do you think's behind the mask?
The panel seemed convinced I'm a comedian.
I don't want to be funny, but then I guess it's stand up.
We've got just two more performances before the studio audience vote,
and next up, I bumped into this act backstage and they said...
HE HUMS
HUMMING CONTINUES
Bing!
It's Air Fryer!
MUSIC: 'The Final Countdown'
# It's the final countdown... #
Wow, my sun hasn't stopped spinning since last week's performance.
# Final countdown... #
Dannii Minogue.
It might be Kylie Minogue.
Russell Crowe in there, ladies and gentlemen.
The panel's guesses are cold!
# It's the final countdown. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Us air fryers are highly versatile ovens.
Clever devices that learn from older models.
"Learn from older models". Mm.
And we work very well with icons and idols.
Pop Idol. Penguins again.
Snow globe.
MUSIC: 'Living On Video' by Trans X
We win some, we lose some.
A nun. Maybe, like, Sister Act or something.
# Glittering blue eyes... #
But truth is... GIGGLES
..we have won a really big one!
I'm baked!
British Bake Off. Too busy thinking about tonight's performance.
DING, GIGGLES
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

AIR FRYER COUGHS
LAUGHS
Wow, I love her.
# One little girl In a pale pink coat heard
# Lay-ee-odl-lay-ee-odl-lay Hee-hoo... #
Older, not young girl. I think so.
It's thrown off my guess. Me too.
# Odl-oo
# Soon her mama With a gleaming gloat heard
# Lay-ee-odl-lay-ee-odl-lay-hee-hoo

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
The eyes. Yeah, aw!
Yes!
Wow!
First of all, let's come to you,
Mo-de-lay-Mo-de-lay Mo-de-lay-hey-hey!
LAUGHTER
Who do you think it is, man?
They said baked, so I thought of Celebrity Bake Off.
The song choice, it was a musical,
so someone that might have starred in a musical,
has got a great voice, she won X Factor.
I think it could be Alexandra Burke.
Ooh! Interesting. Jonathan?
I love that yodelling.
We don't hear enough of it on television any more.
Let's bring back the yodelling.
Yodel-lay-yodel-lay-yodel-lay Hee-hoo!
Oh, it's good.
TUNELESS: Yodel-lay-yodel-lay-yodel-lay-o.
LAUGHTER
Based on the song, which was from The Sound Of Music,
it's set in Switzerland.
This is a singer, she lives in Switzerland.
I think it might be Shania Twain.
What?
Shania Twain is an air fryer.
Davina? Erm, Sound Of Music.
Julie Andrews played a nun,
and this woman starred with her in The Princess Diaries,
but also, she was in The Devil Wears Prada with Meryl Streep.
Icons. Oh, wow.
And I know she's a great singer
because she sang one song in Les Mis, and she got an Oscar for it.
Anne Hathaway. AUDIENCE:Ooh!
Love that. RITA:Wow, Davina, that is good.
Ellie?
Are we just accepting that there's an air fryer
yodelling on stage like it's normal?
Yeah, it's absolutely bonkers.
I'm just gonna go with it, though. Yeah.
So, a nun's habit, there's a singer who was in Sister Act
and is, like, a powerhouse vocalist.
Yeah.I thought this might be Beverley Knight.
Yes. Ooh. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
A great guess. Rita?
I think it might be a very well-established comedian.
She's been in musicals, she can sing.
I'm gonna go with Catherine Tate.
Yeah, I like that. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Well done. OK, you'll only get a look in at what's been a-cookin'
when the mask comes off.
Give it up for Air Fryer, everyone. Yeah. Yeah.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Well done, Air Fryer.
Are the panel playing the goat, or are these guesses too hot to handle?
Who do you think's behind the mask?
Do I think the panel are close to guessing this air fryer?
Yodel-lay-yodel-lay-yodel-NO!
We've got just one performance left, but first, it's competition time,
and you are in for a real treat
with an absolutely incredible prize package worth over £180,000.
# Who's that behind the mask? #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Welcome back to The Masked Singer.
We've got just one performance left, and I'll give you a clue...
It rhymes with "payroll".
Shout out to all the accountants working hard in January.
HE GASPS Oh, I forgot to do my taxes!
LAUGHTER It's Maypole.
# I'll be your clown
# On your favourite channel... #
It was so nice performing for everyone last week,
but it seems naming me has got them all in knots.
Beverly Knight. Dido.
Cheryl. Rita Ora.
# Everything turn, turn, turn... #
I suppose I was named well,
and I've got a real spring in my step after last week.
The accent's not real. I think it's an American.
Could be an actress.
You only get one take to make sure you bloom.
Us maypoles may spin,
but I'm no spin-off.
I think it might be a dancer.
Dancing With The Stars, Strictly Come Dancing.
# Let the sun shine... #
I'm in pole position. The main event.
It's no act.
At this stage, I just hope I can sweep the boards.
Sheep. Picture of a sheep. "Ben, Jamie".
Maypoles love the sun,
but cold feet don't bother me.
Cold Feet. Actor?
Oh, gosh!
I'm not ready to be tied up in knots just yet.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo Doo-roo-doo-doo, doo-roo-doo-roo
# Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo Doo-roo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
# In a whole other life There was this boy that I knew
# He made me feel like a woman We were young and silly
# Anyway, he was in a band Wrote love songs about me
# I wasn't crazy 'bout the words But the melodies were sweet
# Went something like Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-roo-doo-doo, doo-roo-doo-roo
Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo... # Great mover, great dancer.
# Every time we go dancing I see his straying eyes
# Gave him too many chances Push my gears too many times
# And when he start acting dumb Then I'll be on my way to leave
# But I stopped in my tracks When I heard this melody
# And it went like Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-roo-doo-doo, doo-roo-doo-roo
Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo Doo-roo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
# He used to sing me sweet melodies
# He played me Made me believe it was real love
# Sing me sweet melodies
# But the day he did me wrong The song couldn't go on and on
# He used to sing me Sweet melodies... #
I know this voice. # He played me
# Made me believe it was real love
# Sing me sweet melodies
# But the day he did me wrong
The song Couldn't go on and on and on... #
Hey!
# Oh!
He used to sing me sweet melodies
# But the day he did me wrong
# The song Couldn't go on and on and...
# On and on and on and on
# Melodies, yeah
# Ooh, ooh
# Real love
# Sweet melodies The day he did me wrong
# The song Couldn't go on and on and on
# Sing me sweet melodies
# Sing sweet melodies
# On and on and on Oh! #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
My mind is going everywhere. Wow!
Maypole, everyone!
Yes! Rita, I'm gonna come to you first.
Wow, that was so much energy. And the moves, you was going for it!
APPLAUSE
Mo, you guessed that this was me?
Mm-hm. I-I still think it's you.
Really?! LAUGHTER
I don't know, man. Joel, there's AI happening now, you know. Yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's true.
We are all kind of thinking the same thing, right? Girl band.
Yes. Right. SCATTERED APPLAUSE
You got some applause there. That's what I think.
And I actually went to school with this girl.
And she ended up being in a band called The Saturdays.
Oh. Yes.
And there was a clue in the VT that said "Vanessa", and so I thought,
"Well, it must be my friend Vanessa White from The Saturdays."
Ooh! I like that. I agree.
It talked about sweeping the boards, and Vanessa's also acted,
she's been in The King And I and in Lion King.
With that kind of prowess and that kind of range,
I would agree with Rita, it's Vanessa White.
Love that. APPLAUSE
I would agree with both Davina and Rita
that, yes, it's Vanessa. Wow.
I did write that down. Yes. Not copying.
She's always been an incredible vocalist,
and it was literally perfect.
I think it's Vanessa.
Oh. APPLAUSE
MO:There's a plot twist.
What?! I think I know who this is.
SHE GASPS AUDIENCE: Ooh!
It was the range. It is... Who is it?
..none other than one of the greatest UK singers.
It is Katy B.
Oh, my God. Ooh!
That's good, you know. Joel, I'm dropping my book.
I don't know why but it feels like the right thing to do.
That was a good one. You know what? You can leave your book there
cos we know you don't put anything in it, so it's absolutely fine.
Jonathan Ross?
There was a thing about I'm well-named, I've been named well,
then we saw Charles Dickens' book Great Expectations
in someone's back pocket.
Oh, yeah. So, I think it is Charli XCX.
Ooh! Oh, that's a good idea.
May Joel find out who is in Maypole?
We'll only know when the mask comes off.
Let's hear it for Maypole, everyone. That was beautiful!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Are the panel's guesses getting you XCX-cited?
Or are they leading you a merry dance?
Who do you think's behind the mask?
The panel are all fired up, but are they right?
Am I Vanessa White? CHUCKLES
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
All of our masked singers have performed,
and after the break,
the studio audience will vote for their favourite.
Who will be safe? And who risks being unmasked?
You don't have to wait long. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Who's that behind the mask? #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Welcome back,
it has been an epic night of performances,
and now it is time for our studio audience
to vote for their favourite masked singer.
The two characters with the fewest votes
will find themselves in the bottom two,
and then the panel will decide who is unmasked.
While our audience vote,
here is a reminder of tonight's performances.
# I can buy myself flowers
# Write my name in the sand. #
# And I would walk 500 miles
# And I would walk 500 more. #
# Your love
# Your love. #
# Happy talkin', talkin' Happy talk. #
# Re-e-wind When the crowd say "Bo Selecta". #
#Odl-lay-ee-odl-lay-ee Odl-lay-hee... #
# On and on and on and on...
# Sweet melodies Melodies, yeah. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
The results are in.
I can reveal that, in no particular order,
the masked singers going through to next week are...
AUDIENCE CALL OUT NAMES

Congratulations to the rest of you, we'll see you next time.
Head off down the tunnels.
Head off down the tunnels. OK. APPLAUSE
Wow. This... is it.
AUDIENCE GROAN
Panel, please discuss amongst yourselves
and decide which character you would like to save -

Whichever masked singer the panel decide to save

Mo? Ooh.
Have the panel made a decision?
Yes, Joel, we have made a decision.
The masked singer the panel have decided to save is...
AUDIENCE CALL OUT NAMES
Eiffel Tower.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE # Who's that behind the mask? #
Eiffel Tower, your secret is safe for now.
Give it up for Eiffel Tower, everyone.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE # Who are ya? Who are ya?
# Who are ya? Who's that behind the mask? #
Let's hear it for Owl, everybody. Aw.
APPLAUSE Oh, unfortunately,
your time on The Masked Singer has come to an end.
And in just a moment, you will be removing your mask,
but first, panel, who do you think it is?
Mo, I'm coming to you first. I'm gonna go with Alex Scott.
I think it's Alex Scott. Yes.
And you better hope it is. LAUGHTER
You've got a lot riding on this one. I hope it isn't. It is.
Davina? I think it's Gabby Logan.
Gabby Logan. APPLAUSE
Ellie, who do you think it is? Jo Wiley.
You're gonna go with Jo Wiley.
Rita Ora, who do you think it is? I'm gonna stick with Emily Atack.
Emily Atack. APPLAUSE
Jonathan Ross? It's Emily Blunt.
Wow. APPLAUSE
OK.
Well, let's see if any of you are right.
Who's behind the mask?
ALL:Take it off, take it off, take it off,
take it off, take it off, take it off!
Take it off, take it off, take it off!
Take it off, take it off!
Take it off! Who are you?!
Take it off, take it off, take it off. Whoa!
Take it off, take it off!
Aahh! Take it off, take it off!
# Who's that behind the mask? #
It's Lorraine Kelly!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Yes! Lorraine!
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God! I love you!
No way! What?
Whoa! How is it you?
This might be one of the best reveals we've ever had on the show.
This is amazing! This is so good.
Mo! LAUGHTER
Oh, man...
You said it wasn't Alex Scott, you would just wear your pants.
LAUGHTER
ALL CHANT:Take it off, take it off!
Take it off, take it off!
AUDIENCE:Take it off!
You've had so many people from this show on your couch.
I know, I know! That's...
Are you going to interview yourself the day after the show?Yes!
We'll get Alex Scott and the Owl.
LAUGHTER
Yeah, we'll get Mo Gilligan in his boxer shorts on your show.
LAUGHTER Mo's gone very quiet.
The song choice was Happy Talk, so that makes sense.Yeah.
Cos you have been on talk shows for, like, 35 years?
Do you know what, this year, it's 40 years.
Wow! I know. This is... Yeah.
I think I now get the bikini clue
because you presented a show in a bikini.
Well, when you say that... but, I mean, I did flash.
LAUGHTER
Not as much as you're gonna flash next week! Yay!
Mo Gilligan! I can't believe this.
Get that pink bikini off, then, 'ey!
I know Mo's gonna be furious about this, so we just do need to check,
you haven't got Alex Scott down the front of the suit?
LAUGHTER
She is there, yes.
Have you enjoyed being Owl?
I've loved being Owl.
Every single second, it's been joyful.
The show is joyful.
And you're the perfect person to be an owl.I know!
And somehow, this outfit still works.
LAUGHING:Do you think? LAUGHTER
I've never actually sang in front of an audience,
so it was amazing to do that.
And I've loved it. We thought you were a pro-singer.
Your singing at times, was... Oh, behave!
Away and behave yourself! You'll come out of this thinking,
"You know what, I should go on tour."
Honestly, you've been an absolute joy.
Thank you. And what a reveal!
Give it up for Lorraine, everybody! Thank you.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE So, so good.
That is all for tonight.
We'll be back next week with more masked monkey business.
But now, performing one final time,
unmasked, at last, it's Lorraine!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
You're amazing. You're amazing!
Yes!
# Happy talkin', talkin'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Comedy royalty Sir Lenny Henry joined the panel...
Let's go, Joel! Yes.
Let's go!
.. as seven singers take to this stage.
That was amazing.
Whoa!
RITA:Hey! Oh!
Only five will make it through...
The singer we would like to save is...
..in our first double elimination.
Oh! Ha-ha!
This is the best surprise. Better than any birthday.
