SONG: 'Pure Imagination'
# Hold your breath
# Count to three
# Come with me and you'll be
# In a world of pure imagination
# Take a look and you'll see
# Into your imagination
# If you want to view paradise
# Simply look around And view it... #
Oh, my God!
# Anything you want to, do it... #
That was amazing!
# If you want to change the world
# There's nothing... #
JOEL: Sir Lenny Henry is here!
Tonight, we've got two unmaskings.
ANNOUNCER:'Get ready for uplifting performances...'
Oh, my God.
'..and a load of hot air.'
I'm wondering if it's Tom Hanks. What?
That's the best performance I've ever seen in my life!
'This is The Masked Singer.'
We have some of the best vocalists that we've ever had
on The Masked Singer.
# Who are ya, who are ya
# Who are ya
# Who's that behind the mask? #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Who are ya? # It's happening.
# Who are ya? Who are ya?
# Who's that behind the mask? #
Whoo!
Ahoy there!
Welcome aboard the Good Ship Masked Singer,
or as I like to call it, the "clues-liner".
LAUGHTER, JOEL MIMICS FOG HORN
Tonight's on-board entertainment
features seven sensational performances and two big reveals.
That is right - it is a double unmasking, people.
AUDIENCE:Ooh!
But now I've got some stars on-board.
On my starboard side, whichever side that is,
I've no idea, it's our panel, everyone!
# Who are ya? #
Whoo! Yes, Joel!
I'm coming in. Yes, Joelly.
His suit's made me sea-sick but he's so naughty-cool,
it's Jonathan Ross! Hello, hello.
She sells sea shells on the sea shore-a, it's Rita Ora.
Davin-argh, me hearties.
It's Davin-argh McCall.
# Mo, Mo, Mo your boat Gently down the stream
# Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily Life is but a dream. #
It's Mo Gillian, everyone!
Like that one, that was my favourite,
I loved that one, that was great. Thank you.
And our special guest this week, there was only one man for the blob,
what a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty good man.Whoo!
It's Sir Lenny Henry!
Whoo! Yeah!
Sir Lenny Henry, thank you so much for being here, you're amazing.
Yeah, Lenny! I love this.
I've got my clue head on, I'm ready to rock, let's go, Joel.
Yes. Let's go.
There's a double unmasking tonight, how are you feeling about that?
Well, never mind, before we get to that,
last week on the show, Mo said that if the guess he made
for the person who was unmasked was not correct,
he would do the show this week wearing just his boxer shorts.
Yes, yes. Mo? You said out of your mouth.
We are not gonna let this go. OK, I'm a man of my word.
There we go, in my boxers. LAUGHTER
What is this? What is this? In my boxers.
Over the top.
In my boxers. That's cheating.
Oh, we-we have... we changed the derriere.
I'm the left cheek, you're the right, Jonathan.
I love that, you look like the worst Superman of all time.
LAUGHTER
It's our panel, everybody! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
We're here.
After all seven acts have performed,
the studio audience will vote for their favourite.
The four with the most votes will make it through
to next week's semi-final.
The remaining characters will go into the bottom three,
and two of them will be unmasked.
Parts of tonight's packages feature stunt doubles,
which I'm contractually obliged to say
or they'll take away my microphone.
LAUGHTER OK, time for our first act.
Their village fete is in your hands.
It's Maypole.
OK, here we go. Maypole, good.
# On and on and on, oh... #
Last week's performance was a dream come true.
It must be my friend, Vanessa White. Katy B.
Charli XCX.
Bring out the bunton. Bunton? Emma Bunton.
# On and on and on, oh. #
You might think I'm a little retro,
but I'm happy to be in that club.
# I'm looking for A hard-headed woman... #
I'd be miserable if I left now, what "Elsa" would I do?
Elsa, what Elsa would I do?
Someone that might have been in a Disney film. Actor.
# And if I find My hard-headed woman... #
Well, that was quick.
Ah, package for me.
"Well done, love, Kevin." Kevin.
A genie led me to this path.
I've been shimmying my way down it ever since.
Shake, shake, shake.
I've had some big blue monster hits.
A big blue monster hit?
Blue monster was CeeLo, yeah.
And walked the tightrope of fame.
Good thing I'm limbered up.
# And if I find my... # Top prize.
Ah, there's a robin there as well.
You'd better be ready for all the bows and whistles, buster!
GIGGLES
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
SONG: 'Let You Love Me'
# I should've stayed with you Last night
# Instead of going out To find trouble... #
This your song? # That's just trouble
# See, I wanna stay the whole night
# I wanna lay with you Till the sun's up
# I wanna let you inside
# Oh, heaven knows I've tried I wish that I could let you love
# Wish that I could let you love me
# Wish that I could let you love
# Wish that I could let you love me
# Say, what's the matter What's the matter with me?
# What's the matter with me? Oh, I wish that I could let you love
# Wish that I could let you love me Now
# Oh, I wish, oh, I wish, Oh, I wish, oh, I wish... #
I think it's Rita Ora. RITA LAUGHS
# Oh, I wish, oh, I wish Oh, I wish, Oh, I wish, I
# Yeah, I wanna stay the whole night
# I wanna lay with you Till the sun's up
# I wanna let you inside
# Oh, heaven knows I've tried
# I wish that I could I let you love
# Wish that I could let you love me Wish that I could I let you love
# Wish that I could let you love me
# Say, what's the matter What's the matter with me?
# What's the matter with me?
# Oh
# Wish that I could let you love me
# What's the matter What's the matter with me?
# What's the matter with me? Oh, I wish that I could... #
I know this voice, I think it's Zara Larsson.
# Let you love me now. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Whoo!
Yeah!
Give it up for Maypole, everyone!
Rita, that's one of yours.
Thank you so much for singing my song, thank you,
that was a such a huge moment.
I mean, I would say that's the best version of that song.
LAUGHTER
If I look at the VT, you do say "bunton,"
but I think it was a secret term for "button"
which is also a song from The Pussycat Dolls.
LENNY GASPS "Buttons."
So then there was "ribbons". Right? Which is also a Pussycat Doll song.
This must be Kimberly Wyatt.
It's a good guess.
Also, she said, "Bows and whistles, buster,"
and Don't Cha featured Busta Rhymes. Oh, that's very good.
I think it's Ashley Roberts.
Oh, OK.
Boosh. That's a very well-informed guess.
Got any ideas of who it is, Lenny?
Because you move and you've got a great voice... Yeah.
And you said you were walking on a tightrope or something,
it feels like Janelle Monae or something.
Ooh, yeah.
It's a good guess, love that.
Jonathan, what are you thinking?
I'm gonna steal a name, I'm gonna steal a name from Rita. OK.
Cos she said a name, she said the name, Zara Larsson.
That's a good guess.
Mo Gilligan?
I'm looking at the clue package, and I see there was some masks,
looked like stage masks.
She went to stage school, she went to the Brits.
A previous guess, I said Katy B. APPLAUSE
Do you want another clue? Yes. Yes, please. Yes.
Okey-dokey, it is time to play
a game we like to call See It, Say It.
One pull on the lever will reveal three pictures.
Mo...Yes. Pull that lever.
Whoaaaa...
Here we go. OK, let's have a look.
Ooh, Brit... knee... Britney Spears!
Asparagus spears.
There was a Pussycat Dolls club,
where famous people would go and dance with them,
like Christina Aguilera's done it, Britney Spears has done it.
It'd have to be in that club, Britney Spears, Pussycat Doll.
But which one?! Which one?! Which one?
Who's playing the role inside the pole? Is it Nicole?
LAUGHTER
We'll only know when the mask comes off.
Let's hear it for Maypole, everyone! Yay!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Beautiful.
Don't cha think the panel are leaning towards
a certain girl group? Me-how do you think they did?
A Pussycat Doll? You've got to be kitten me.
GIGGLES
Coming up, Cricket bowls up and an egg hits the stage.
Oh, it's going to get messy. Splat!
# Who's that behind the mask? #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Welcome back to The Masked Singer, everyone!
Sir Lenny Henry is here! CHEERING
Back on the clue trail now,
and I've got a joke for everyone, OK?
Yeah. Why are cricketers such good singers?
Because they know all about pitch.
NO-ONE LAUGHS, CRICKET CHIRPING
About...
CHIRPING ..pitch.
It's Cricket. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# How deep is your love? Whoa... #
Last week, jolly good!
BOTH:Lemar. I think it could be Seal.
S Webb feels like it's too obvious,
but I think Simon could sound like that.
The panel's comments - wow!
One of the best voices we've had on The Masked Singer. Wow!
SNORING, CLOCK TICKING
ALARM BEEPING
"All rise," OK. Well, that's a Blue tune.
Huh, huh, huh?! Golly.
'What a competition.'
Everyone's being such jolly good sports.
Sports, maybe he is in sport.
Hats. Academy...
What a great line-up of talent. Very competitive.
The way I like it.
CHEERING
Don't go cricket-green with envy, but I've had success in my field.
This is a successful singer.
I've made a splash, that's for sure.
Anyway, I'm really growing in this competition.
It said "best before 2002".
Isn't that when Fame Academy came out?
Time to hit the stage.
Let me clear my throat.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Wait till you hear the voice.
SONG: 'Antenna'
# She dey do me wayo

# Oh, whoa-oh

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Wow.
JUDGES CHEER
Yes! Yes!
Give it up for Cricket, everyone! JONATHAN:Cricket!
DAVINA:Wow.
Cricket! So, so good.
I'm gonna come to you first, Lenny. This is great, this show.
It is literally the bizarre-est thing.
I loved watching you perform. You've got a great voice.
There were some interesting clues.
There was "All Rise". Yes.
There was some blue juice. JUDGES:Yes.
You hit the ball into outer space,
and this person I'm thinking about made a film in space.
There was a field mentioned,
and this guy made a film called A League Of Their Own.
And I was looking up a fact
that this guy did backing vocals for Blue.
DAVINA:Oh. I'm wondering if it's Tom Hanks.
What? RITA:Lenny, you were doing so well.
I know, but come on.
You took us on such a journey, Lenny.
Mo, what are you thinking, my friend?
So, this name, when I seen some of the clues,
I was thinking "made a splash", like a splash into the industry,
you know what I mean, they made waves. Yeah.
So, this person, I'm thinking it could be,
successful singer, it could be Taio Cruz.
Yeah, I think that's a good guess. Very good guess.
Rita?
So, yeah, I see the "academy" on the box,
and I'm like, Fame Academy, and then I saw "Time To Grow",
which is the name of Lamar's double-platinum album,
so I am pretty sure that is Lamar. Yeah.
OK. Love that.
You know what? It does sound a bit like Lamar,
but the clues are pointing me towards someone else, which is...
There were roses on the table at the beginning,
and there was a line about, "I've made a splash."
What animal makes a splash? Dolphin.
Dolphin, yes. Whale.
Fish, yes. Keep going. Turtle.
A seal! Penguin?
A seal - a seal makes a splash. Oh, my God!
Seal had a hit with Kiss From A Rose.
I think it's Seal!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Could be.
Davina, who do you think it is? Yes.
So, Cricket's wearing a hat. Yes.
This is somebody who's very well known for winning a hat.
There is a song... You know it said there was an energy drink?
This guy had a song called Liquid Spirit,
and he's from Sacramento, and there is a Sacramento cricket.
I think it's Gregory Porter!
You think it's Gregory Porter? Yes!
Davina, this is the worrying thing -
even Tom Hanks got more of a reaction.
I know, I know! LAUGHTER
Do you want another clue? JUDGES:Yes!
OK, time for another game of See It, Say It.
Line up three pictures to reveal your clue.
Davina, you're up! Get your crank on, baby.
AUDIENCE CHEERS
Oh, Mo, bow.
Mo. Mo, bow.
Mo, bow... Ward. Ward!
MOBO Award. He's won a MOBO.
Seal must have won a MOBO.
I won a MOBO! Rita Ora's won a MOBO, everyone.
It's Rita!
SHE LAUGHS
OK, whose lovely mug is behind the bug?
We'll only know when the mask comes off.
It's Cricket, everyone! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Have the panel "hit a six" with these guesses,
or do they need to do better?
Who do think's behind the mask?
The panel think they've cracked who's in this cricket,
but they'll only find out when I get my "Lemar"-ching orders!
Time for our next act.
They've taken approximately four to five minutes to get ready.
It's Dippy Egg! LAUGHTER
SONG: 'I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)'
# But I would walk 500 miles... #
I'm still here, "egg"-cellent news.
Sir Chris Hoy, the cyclist. Yes!
Jonny Wilkinson.
Do you recognise those calves, Davina? Is that Prue Leith?
# At your door. # CHEERING
# Today is gonna be a good day... #
Most dippy eggs are part of a big breakfast.
Oh, big breakfast. Oh.
All that protein. It's got me thinking back to the prime.
Prime is an energy drink.
# A good day. #
"Egg soldier"-ing on.
Going to t'Olympics. Winning egg cups.
We were once the underdogs.
Is this is a sportsperson?
But it was a badge of honour - a huge race.
Police badge. Cop, key?
And then boxed in.
Hanging on t'thread. It became a spectacle.
Do think it's somebody from up north?
Time to break an egg on stage.
# I'm walking on sunshine, whoa
# And don't it feel good? #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
SONG: 'Moon River'
# Moon river
# Wider than a mile
# I'm crossing you in style
# Some day... #
Oh, come on.
# Oh, dream maker
# You heartbreaker... #
Oh, God.
# Wherever you're going
# I'm going your way
# Moon river, wider than a mile... #
Wow!
# I'm crossing you in style
# Some day
# Oh, you dream maker
# You heartbreaker
# Wherever you're going
# I'm going your way
# Two drifters
# Off to see the world
# There's such a lot of world To see... #
Oh. MO:Aw.
# We're after... # CHEERING
# The same
# Rainbow's end... #
Lovely.
# Waiting round the bend
# My huckleberry friend
# Moon river
# And me. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
JONATHAN:What a lovely version. Wow.
You just wouldn't expect a guy dressed as an egg to sing like that.
I did not expect that.
Dippy Egg, everyone! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Oh, my God, that was wonderful.
Jonathan, I'm gonna come to you first.
This show is full of surprises - I never thought
I'd be emotionally moved by a singing egg. Yeah.
I was looking at the clues - you saw the "prime",
there is a band with Prime in the title.
There's a band called Primal Scream.
I'm going to say Bobby Gillespie,
ladies and gentlemen, from Primal Scream.
LENNY LAUGHS
Lenny, who do you think it is?
I did see that there was a big breakfast there,
and he talked about spectacles.
This person I'm thinking of did used to sing on a show
called Don't Forget Your Toothbrush. Yes.
So, my guess is Chris Evans.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
DAVINA:That's a really good guess.
Who do you think, Davina McCall?
OK, so, Cambridge,
this person has lectured at Cambridge.
RITA:Wow. Nice.
You know, this is somebody who's musical,
who's used to being around music,
but it's not what they're famous for,
and "prime", I was thinking prime numbers and physics.
He was in D:Ream. I think it's Brian Cox.
Did you see the moon and the stars in the background?
The backdrop was all like the universe.
Ooh.
LENNY:Ooh. Mo?
Weirdly, looking at this egg, this Dippy Egg,
it kind of looks like this person that I'm about to guess.
Cos there were some of the clues which said, "On your bike,"
and it said "huge race".
I think this is a British cyclist. Yes.
Yeah. And then because of the sideburns,
I think it could be Bradley Wiggins.
The sideburns do look very Bradley Wiggins.
It does look a bit like Bradley. Rita?
Dippy Egg, best vocal you've ever done.
DAVINA:Yes. There we go.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I went down the Big Breakfast route.
There were some really amazing presents,
and I really loved Johnny Vaughan.
Mm. I loved him,
and also, they said "cups", and they drink out of cups
on the breakfast show. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're scraping the bottom of the egg cup here.Yes.
Do you want some help? Yes.
Yes, please.
OK, let's get cranking for more clues.
Sir Lenny, show them how it's done. Here we go.
Come on, let it be Brian, give me something Brian.
Whey!
Let's see what that is.
Exit, one, ball. Exit, one, Ed Balls.
Has that helped?
Oh. Exit Ed? Ex.. Exited!
No, no. When you go through an exit, you go "out",
there's a number, Ed, out-number-ed.
Outnumbered was a very popular TV Sitcom,
and I know this person went to Cambridge,
who is the star of it,
it could be Hugh Dennis. Ooh. Amazing.
That's good.
OK, is this egg proving hard to "beat"?
We'll only know when the mask comes off.
Give it up for Dippy Egg, everyone!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Should the panel be over the "Moon River" with those guesses,
or has Dippy Egg left them "Primal Scream"-ing for more clues?
Bradley Wiggins? I don't think they're in hot pursuit,
but they're completely off track.
After the break, Bigfoot wants you to Shut Up And Dance.
CHEERING
# Who's that behind the mask? #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Welcome back to the Masked Singer,
where tonight, we've got two unmaskings.
Ooh.
Put your purse away, madam. It's all included in the price.
Back to the clues now. Get ready to scream.
He's our very own "Hairy" Styles.
It's Bigfoot!
# Re-rewind, when the crowd says "Bo Selecta"... #
I'm so excited to have made it this far.
The panel tried to guess my name...
Frankie Boyle. Alex Brooker.
Anthony Costa. Could be Adam Hills.
..but this Bigfoot hasn't been caught just yet.
MUSIC: 'Wild Thing' by The Troggs
I'm having a scream.
Scream? Could be an actor.
This Bigfoot's a keeper.
Goalkeeper. Yeah.
It's so much fun, fielding guesses left, back and forward.
MUSIC: 'Walk This Way' by Run-DMC
"JT 4 ever."
Could be an ex-Chelsea defender. Yes.
I'm friendly as well as furry,
more than one member of the panel knows that.
Very football driven.
They should have a sporting chance of working out who I am,
as long as they don't leap to conclusions.
Fans. This is someone that could be on a travel programme.
I'm enjoying myself too much, pottering about on that stage.
You'll have to get a tow truck to get rid of this Bigfoot.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
SONG: 'Shut Up And Dance'
# Oh, don't you dare look back Just keep your eyes on me
# I said, "You're holding back"
# She said "Shut up and dance with me"
# This woman is my destiny She said... #
# Whoa! #
# "Shut up and dance with me"
# We were victims of the night The chemical, physical kryptonite
# Helpless to the bass And the fading light
# Oh, we were bound to get together Bound to get together
# She took my arm I don't know how it happened
# We took the floor, and she said
# "Oh, don't you dare look back Just keep your eyes on me"
# I said, "You're holding back"
# She said "Shut up and dance with me"
# This woman is my destiny
# She said, ooh
# "Shut up and dance with me"... # # "Shut up and dance". #
# A backless dress And some beat-up sneaks
# My discotheque Juliet Teenage dream
# I felt it in my chest As she looked at me
# I knew we were bound To be together... #
# Bound to be together! #
# She took my arm I don't know how it happened
# We took the floor And she said... #
Whoo!
# "Oh, don't you dare look back Just keep your eyes on me"
# I said, "You're holding back"
# She said "Shut up and dance with me"
# This woman is my destiny
# She said "Ooh-ooh, shut up and dance"
# Don't you dare look back Just keep your eyes on me
# I said, "You're holding back"
# She said "Shut up and dance with me"
# This woman is my destiny
# She said, ooh-ooh... # # Ooh-ooh! #
ALL:# Shut up and dance with me. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Oh, they loved him.
Give it up for Bigfoot, everybody!
Whoo! Yes!
Yes! Yes! There you go, Bigfoot.
Oh my God, we love you.
So much fun, wasn't it?
Who do you think it is? Lenny?
Well, clearly, you're somebody who's used to performing
in front of an audience. APPLAUSE
You mentioned left-back and forward.
There was a thing that said "JT" and "4 eva",
and I thought somebody who's played with John Terry, maybe?
Ooh. RITA:Yeah.
My brain kind of went Ashley Cole.
Rita.Yes? Who do you think it is?
So, obviously, the VT gave us so many football clues...
Yeah. ..but then it said keeper, right?
Which made me think goalkeeper,
so I'm gonna go with the goalie Joe Hart.
Joe Hart.
JONATHAN:Good logic, and that all makes sense.
I think I know who it is. Who?
Yes, Mo! I think I know who it is.
I played in Soccer Aid with them,
and I think they played at left back.
I think it's Alex Brooker,
that's who I think it is. LENNY:Wow.
I agree. I worked on The Jump with him.
I really hope it's Alex Brooker.
Ooh!
Jonathan?
Earlier on, we've had references to various things about the foot.
The Last Leg, obviously, a leg ends in a foot.
I think it's someone who wears a prosthetic.
We had that clue in previous weeks, and if I'm wrong,
I'll sell Mo Gilligan's house. LAUGHTER
I think it is... LENNY:I don't think you could.
It's Alex Brooker! That's who's in there. Yay!
In-ter-esting.
Do you guys want another clue?
RITA:Yes! Yes.
OK. It's See It, Say It time.
Rita, the lever's got your name on it.Yes!
ALL:Ooh!
Wow!
Wonderfully pulled.
Hang on, gold... Gold.
DAVINA:Gold bar.
Ounce. Gold weight.
Is that a gold bar, is it bar weight?
Million... pound... drop. Million Pound Drop!
Yes! Million Pound Drop.
Excellent work there. I feel really good about that one.
When you were hosting, was Alex Brooker ever on the show?
I'm pretty sure he was, yes. Yeah.
Who did we fit-ty inside the big foot-y?
We'll only know when the mask comes off-y.
Give it up for Bigfoot, everyone!
You're the best, Bigfoot, I love you.
Are they a Bigfoot-baller? Or are the panel miles off-side?
Who do you think's behind the mask?
Is Alex Brooker inside this Bigfoot,
or are the panel on their "Last Legs" tonight?
Let's get some more clues now.
SOUTHERN US ACCENT: "Dust off some taters
"and pop 'em in my drawers," something our next act would say.
It's Air Fryer.
CHEERING
# High on the hill Is a lonely goatherd
# Lay-ee-odl-lay-ee Odl-lay-hee-hoo. #
I'm still cooking up a storm!
The panel are no closer to lifting my lid.
I think it could be Alexandra Burke.
Shania Twain.
Catherine Tate.
Anne Hathaway.
Does my face sound familiar?
Because I started in a competition.
Britain's Got Talent. Factor.
Now, this particular brand of air fryer is well-known.
Global.
Global's a radio station.
I think Nicole Scherzinger bought one.
The Pussycat Dolls is too obvious.
Obama, too.
Ha-ha-ha-ha.
Pitch perfect. I'm showing off.
LAUGHS
But we take our frying role very seriously.
Desert Island Disc. Oh, yeah!
Get me to the stage.
APPLAUSE
# Something has changed within me
# Something is not the same... #
Wow.
# I'm through with playing by
# The rules Of someone else's game... #
Whoo! Wow.
# Too late for second-guessing
# Too late to go back to sleep
# It's time to trust my instincts
# Close my eyes
# And leap
# It's time to try defying gravity
# I think I'll try defying gravity
# And you can't pull me down... #
RITA:Yeah!
# I'm through accepting limits
# Cos someone says they're so
# Too long I've been afraid of
# Losing love, I guess I've lost
# Well, if that's love
# It comes at much too high a cost
# I'd sooner buy defying gravity
# Kiss me goodbye I'm defying gravity
# And you can't pull me down
# So if you care to find me
# Look to the western sky
# As someone told me lately... #
Oh, my gosh.
# "Everyone deserves A chance to fly!"
# And if I'm flying solo
# At least I'm flying free
# To those who'd ground me
# Take a message back from me
# Tell them How I'm defying gravity... #
DAVINA:Whoo! Whoa, OK!
# And soon I'll match them... # MO:Wow!
# In renown
# And nobody in all of Oz
# No wizard that there is or was
# Is ever gonna bring
# Me
# Down... #
Oh, my God.
# Ahhhh! #
APPLAUSE
That was so good, you know.
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.
Whoo! Oh, my God.
That was wicked, literally, in many different ways.
That was amazing. Yes!
I swear,
I thought, like, I was in Curry's: The Musical or something.
All the air fryers and electrical appliances started singing.
That's the best performance I've seen in my life.
I've seen Beyonce three times, she has nothing on the Air Fryer.
I really enjoyed that.
When I looked at the clue package I see, like, competition,
thought possibly X Factor... Yes.
..and I thought that someone, when they was on this competition,
I think Nicole Scherzinger was the judge,
and this person made them cry,
and this lady has amazing range, sensational singer.
Joel, I think this is Ella Henderson,
that's who I think this is. Ooh.
RITA:Nice. Yes.
Davina, what are you thinking?
I just think you are absolutely jaw-droppingly,
breathtakingly amazing.
APPLAUSE
There was a reference to Obama,
and do you know, she actually turned down the opportunity
to perform for Obama because she was busy? Wow.
I know she's been on the panel before,
but she hasn't sung in the show before,
so I think it's Leona Lewis.
You think it's Leona Lewis? Great shout.
What are you thinking, Lenny?
Well, I'm having a Blob flashback.
I think it's Leona, I do think it's Leona...
You're going Leona. ..cos of the X Factor.
And what are you thinking, Rita Ora?
We're all thinking it's somebody that was competing on the show,
right, on an X Factor?
It might be another judge
who was also a singer
and is extremely global.
I think it's Dannii Minogue.
Ooh. JONATHAN:That's not a bad guess.
Jonathan, what are you thinking?
Looking at the clues tonight, I think "global" was a big clue.
It is someone who appears on Global Radio every morning,
she does the showbiz reporting.
The Scherzinger clue makes me think it's one of the Pussycat Dolls.
I think it is Ashley Roberts in there. Oh, wow.
You're going to go with Ashley Roberts? Interesting.
Do you want another clue? Yes.
# Let's play See It, Say It. #
Jonathan, your time has come. Yeah, OK, OK.
ALL:Ooh!
Yes, Jonathan! Be careful of your back.
Snake cooking, masks?
Wait, stirring, drama.
Sister Act! APPLAUSE
Yes, Rita! Oh, yes.
Whoopi Goldberg, Lauryn Hill...
Cynthia Erivo was in the stage version. OK.
We'll only get to "grill" who's inside when the mask comes off.
Give it up for Air Fryer, everyone!
APPLAUSE
Love Air Fryer. So good!
Some "wicked" guesses from the panel,
but do they need to "fry" harder before their time is up?
Who do you think's behind the mask?
Ooh, the heat is on,
but is Leona Lewis the Le-owner of this Air Fryer?
AIR FRYER CHUCKLES
Time for a break now,
but we'll be back "beret" soon with Eiffel Tower.
APPLAUSE
# Who's that behind the mask? #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Welcome back to The Masked Singer, where...
# Everything I do I do it for clues
# There's no love Like your love... #
OK, there's no time for this, because tonight,
we've got not one, but two unmaskings!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Back on the case now, I really look up to this act.
It's Eiffel Tower.
Last week, I was close to saying goodbye.
Eiffel Tower!
# I can buy myself flowers... #
The panel had some big guesses.
I think it's Sharleen Spiteri!
Bonnie Tyler. Macy Gray.
It's Billie Piper.
But have they named me yet?
I'm a rather popular monument, too, you know,
at my height - 330m tall.
Boxing. Mr Norris, could be Chuck Norris.
Iconic, my iron construction was recognised "globally".
I didn't take that long to do better.
Get a clue!
Academy.
You'll get to the top of me, sooner or later.
Top of the charts?
Until then...
The Breakfast Club.
This tower is ready.
They're always travelling, always moving.
Yes, and all the singing.
Time to hit the right notes!
# Ooh-ohh-ohh-ooh. #
SONG: 'Stay'
# All along, it was a fever
# Cold sweat, hot-headed believer
# I threw my hands in the air And said show me something
# He said if you dare Come a little closer... #
I really recognise this voice.
# Oh, round and around And around we go
# Oh, now, tell me now,
# Tell me now Tell me now you know... #
She's a pro singer. Yeah, and soul, right, soul singer?
# Not really sure How to feel about it
# Something in the way you move
# Makes me feel like I can't live without you
# It takes me all the way I want you to stay... #
CHEERING
# Ooh, ooh
# The reason I hold on
# Funny you're the broken one But I'm the only one
# Who needed saving
# Cos when you never see the light
# It's hard to know Which one of us is caving
# Not really sure How I feel about it
# Something in the way you move
# Makes me feel I can't live without you
# It takes me all the way
# I want you to stay... #
CHEERING
Whoo!
# I want you to stay. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
JOEL: Wow!
Oh, c'est tres bien!
FRENCH ACCENT: Beautiful.
Thierry Henri. Oh, so good. LAUGHTER
I'm gonna come to you first, Rita.Wow!
I think we have some of the best vocalists... Yeah.
..that we've ever had on The Masked Singer. Agreed.
The name I thought, but it won't make any sense now.
From the VT, I got the boxing gloves, or this person,
she stands up for what she believes in,
and she hosted a breakfast TV show.
I saw The Breakfast Club up there.
So I was gonna go with Jameela Jamil.
CHEERING
Now, knowing and hearing that voice, kind of sounds like Paloma Faith.
JONATHAN: Yeah, it DOES sound like Paloma.
Mo Gilligan, I'm gonna come to you.
FRENCH ACCENT:Joel Dom-meet, I've got a good name for you.
LAUGHTER
OK, I feel we're in the presence of a real soul singer here,
and a lot of the clues, this person's always travelling,
always moving. Been around the world and I, I...
I think this may be Lisa Stansfield.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
And I, I, Eiffel Tower. And I, I, Eiffel Tower.
Davina McCall, what you thinking?
So, the boxing gloves, I went down the Rocky 4 route.
I bet you can't wait to hear who I've guessed.
Modelled in Paris, did TV in Paris. Brigitte Nielsen.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE I know what you're thinking,
Brigitte Nielson can't sing like that, but are you sure?
LAUGHTER
Who do you think it is, Lenny? I thought boxing.
Is it that bloke, Klitschko, cos they're quite tall?
But the very first thing you said in the VT was, "I try".
Is it Macy Gray?
DAVINA:Oh! AUDIENCE:Ooh!
I love that, Lenny, thank you.
Finally, the beautiful Jonathan Ross.
The voice I thought it might be, that it's closest to for me,
who I know does boxing training, is Ellie Goulding. Nice!
But Ellie Goulding was on this panel,
and you were singing over there.
LAUGHTER
I actually clapped to that. That's not good.
I'm gonna go with yours, I think it is Paloma Faith.
Yeah! Oh, you're going Paloma Faith as well.
Do you want another clue? Yes!
Mo, put some welly into that lever for me, will you?
What have we got, what have we got? What do we have, what do we have?
Red carpet. Paparazzi.
Stretch. I think it's a nightclub.
Papa... stretch my club.
LAUGHTER
MAN IN AUDIENCE:Celebrity Fit Club! Celebrity Fit Club?
Celebrity Fit Club is good.
Thank you. Who was in Celebrity Fit Club?
Brigette Nielson. No!
OK, well, we "weell" only know who's inside le masque when it comes off.
Let's hear it for Eiffel Tower!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Have the panel got this tower in their sights,
or are their guesses ooh, la-laughable?
Who do you think's behind the mask?
Is Paloma Faith inside this Eiffel?
Or are they barking up the wrong tower?
CHEERING
We've got just one performance left.
Just like my fibre broadband, they come with loads of megabytes.
It's Piranha!
# How am I supposed to live Without you? #
Last week, the panel had some strong guesses...
Zac Efron. Ray Quinn.
Jamie Cullum. Paddy McGuinness.
..but I don't think they're on my tail just yet.
Some might say I'm so-fish-ticated.
Fancy? Me? In these PJs?
This is a fashionable person. They might be a model? Yeah.
I hope I've shown some talent.
No reality check needed.
# Compliments, girl, on your kiss. #
I'm willing to do a lot to make sure this panel don't guess me.
There's a lot of those kissing clues, actually.
NERVOUSLY:Things can be t-tough when you're a panicky piranha.
# I wish that you Could be my girl. #
Someone that was in Dancing With The Stars?
Is it somebody who's in a double act?
Ohh, ahh!
MUSIC: 'House Of Fun' by Madness
You might notice a theme, I'm still a "Brit" nervous...
# Welcome to the house of fun... # Brit Award winner.
He could be a Brit who lives abroad.
..but I'm not about to bolt, although biting my tongue
is leaving it a little sore.
# Welcome to the lion's den Temptation's on its way. #
Ow! Uhh! Ahh!
# Welcome to the house of fun. #
CHEERING
SONG: 'Since U Been Gone'
# Here's the thing We started out friends
# It was cool But it was all pretend
# Yeah, yeah Since you've been gone... #
What a song!
# And all you'd ever hear me say Is how I pictured me with you
# That's all you'd ever hear me say
# But since you've been gone
# I can breathe for the first time
# I'm so moving on, yeah, yeah
# Thanks to you Now I get what I want
# Since you've been gone
# How can I put it You put me on... #
Oh, yeah. Yeah, girls!
# I even fell For the stupid love song
# Yeah, yeah Since you've been gone
# How come I never hear you say I just wanna be with you?
# How come you never felt that way?
# Hey, but since you've been gone
# I can breathe for the first time
# I'm so moving on, yeah, yeah
# Thanks to you, now I get # I get what I want
# Ohh
# I'm so moving on, yeah, yeah
# Thanks to you, I get You should know that I get
# What I want...
# Since you've been gone. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
DAVINA:Wow! Piranha!
Piranha, everyone!
Wow! Wow!
That was so good. Mo, what are you thinking, my friend?
Oh, that was a sensational performance.
The clues in the VT package was some kissing.
In season two of Glee, there was an episode
which was named Never Been Kissed.
I think it could be Darren Criss.
Darren Criss.
LENNY:Wow, that's amazing.
OK, what are you thinking, then, Davina?
"3,000 kisses", "Be my Valentine".
This person did a 2017 Valentine special,
and then I heard "bolt".
GIGGLING:I thought it might be Michael Bolton.
Michael Bolton in there.
Lenny?Great voice, great song by the way.
Lots of clues in that video, you know?
Then, there was a thing that said "PJ", and I thought,
"Is it somebody that was in PJ and Duncan, could Ant be in there?
"Could Dec be singing on his shoulders?"
LAUGHTER Rita, who are you thinking?
OK, so if we go back to the VTs, I remember you saying,
"Oh, it feels like we're back in the 20-somethings".
The person who I guessed originally
had an album called Twentysomething,
and I think you're Jamie Cullum. AUDIENCE:Ooh!
Jonathan, what do you think?
Who I think it is, from earlier clues,
there was a wanted poster in one of the other packages.
Oh, yeah. And it just works with the voice.
I think, from The Wanted, I think it's Max George.
That's a good idea. Yeah. Going Max George.
Do you want another clue? Yes! Yes!
Davina? Will you do the wonderful honours, please?
Can it be a good clue, please? Pull that lever!
OK, panel, what do you see? DAVINA:Crown. Einstein. Hallway.
Stein Hall.
Royal Albert Hall.
The Royal Albert Hall!
It's Michael Bolton!
Michael Bolton's almost certainly played the Royal Albert Hall.
OK, can you handle the "tooth"?
You'll only know when the mask comes off.
Give it up for Piranha, everyone.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Have the panel reeled in this piranha,
or have they bitten off more than they can chew?
Who do you think's behind the mask?
Everybody's talking about Jamie Cullum,
is that the "piano key" to success?
All of our masked singers have performed.
And after the break, the studio audience
will vote for their favourite,
and two celebrities will be unmasked.
But now, have you ever imagined being £85,000 richer
and driving away in a brand-new car?
Well, you might be in luck! Check this out.
# Who's that behind the mask? #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Welcome back to The Masked Singer.
We've seen seven sensational performances, and now, it is time
for our studio audience to vote for their favourite.
The four acts with the most votes will be safe.
The remaining characters will then go into the bottom three,
and two of them will be unmasked.
While the studio audience vote,
here is a reminder of tonight's performances.
# I wish that I could let you love
# Wish that I could let you Love me. #
# She dey do me wayo
# But she just spend my money Oh. #
# Moon river. #
# "Shut up and dance with me." #
# Tell them How I'm defying gravity. #
# I want you to stay. #
# Get what I want. #

and will be removing their mask right now, is...
AUDIENCE SHOUTS OUT
..Dippy Egg! # Who's that behind the mask? #
Dippy Egg. Sung so well tonight.

Dippy Egg, your time on The Masked Singer

And in just a moment, you will be removing your mask.
But first, panel, who do you think it is? Mo?
I think you are Sir Chris Hoy, the cyclist.
Sir Chris Hoy.
Davina, who is it? I think that you are Brian Cox.
OK.
Lenny Henry, who is it? I still think it's Chris Evans.
Going Chris Evans. It's a great guess.
Rita?This is probably wrong, but I'm gonna do it.
Johnny Vaughan. You're going Johnny Vaughan.
From The Big Breakfast. Jonathan Ross?
I think it is, from Outnumbered, Hugh Dennis.
Hugh Dennis!
Some great guesses there. But let's see if you're right.
Who's behind the mask?
Dippy Egg, take it off!
CHANTING:Take it off! Take it off! Take it off...
Who are you?
Oh, my God, I'm so excited.
Take it off! Take it off!
Who is it, who is it, who is it?
Take it...
It's Nicky Campbell! DAVINA SCREAMS
It's radio and TV presenter, Nicky Campbell!
Co-presenter, Long Lost Family!
Reunion! Oh, man!
Oh, my God! Davina!
Oh, my God! How did Davina not get Nicky Campbell?
That was quite something, wasn't it? She had no idea.
I can't believe that. That is great, man.
I've never seen you like this, Davina. This is insane.
This is the best surprise, better than any birthday.
This is...
I LOVE this man!
CHEERING
Isn't that amazing? Nicky's a friend.
We've been working together for 13 years,
and I cannot believe I didn't recognise your voice,
I didn't recognise your singing voice, I know your singing voice.
This is insane!
I got quite emotional at times. Thinking, "That's Davina!"
This is so lovely.
What did you think of some of their guesses?
What was the Chris Hoy one? Yeah!
I knew it wasn't a cyclist, cos I'm telling you, them legs...
LAUGHTER
I'm still not 100% sure you're not actually in The Proclaimers!
LAUGHTER
We all got confused on the breakfast thing.Radio!
Breakfast on Radio 5 Live. Aah!
Can I ask you what the police badge was about?
I did a voice-over for Motorway Cops on Channel 5,
what are you talking about? Obviously!
What's wrong with you? LAUGHTER
Have you enjoyed yourself, Nicky? Oh, it's been amazing. Yeah!
You've been so, so fun. Yeah, so good.
Singing for us one final time,
unmasked at last, it's Nicky Campbell!
