CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Who are ya? #
Oh! It's semi-final time, baby!
# Who are ya? #
Hello, everyone! Oh.
# Who's that behind the mask? #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE DAVINA:Yay!
Welcome to The Masked Singer! It's the semi-final!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Make yourself at home because we are semi detached from reality, people.
Tonight, our five remaining acts
are residents in our spacious clue-dio apartment.
Doing lots of "home" things tonight.
But with just three places in next week's Grand Final,
two of them will have to move out.
Yes, it's another double unmasking!
AUDIENCE OOHS, APPLAUSE
To help us crack this case,
we have some of the greatest HOMES since Sherlock.
It's the panel, everybody!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Oh! We're coming.
Always a run. That's good, come on. Come on!
Yay!
He's an expensive, Grade II listed property in Ross-on-Wye,
in desperate need of renovation, it's Jonathan Ross!
Hello, hello.
She lives on a streeta in our neighboura-hood, it's Rita Ora!
I'm your next door neighbour.
My boiler's broken and I've got rising damp, McCall the landlord!
It's Davina McCall!
He looks great,
but there's not much going on upstairs,
it's our stylish Bungal-Mo...
LAUGHTER
..it's Mo Gilligan!
DAVINA:A Bungal-Mo! Bungal-Mo.
I love that.
As Owl, the panel were out-twitted-to-who she was,
it's Lorraine Kelly! Yay!
Lorraine, have you missed being Owl?
I loved being Owl.
I want the costume,
I want to sort of walk around in it, is that weird?
No, I think it's completely acceptable.
It's completely normal.
Your timing couldn't be better because this lot
really need some help. Yeah.
They've only had one correct guess...
JONATHAN:Wow. ..this series.
Think I've got two people that I've got tonight,
I think I'm gonna guess two people. Two?
Yes, can I get an "ooh"?
AUDIENCE OOHS
Can I get a "two-ooh"?
Can I get a cushion because this chair's quite uncomfortable?
One of those ones with a hole in the middle.
He's in desperate need of renovation...Jonathan!
Oh, good luck, and don't you dare embarrass me in front of Lorraine.
It's our panel, everybody!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Oh, there we go! After each character has performed,
our studio audience will vote for their favourite,
and the act with the fewest votes
will be unmasked.
The four remaining acts will then sing again
followed by a second vote and ANOTHER unmasking
at the end of the show.
Remember, there are clues everywhere,
so pay close attention to tonight's clue packages,
parts of which contain bananas. Oh, wow.
Actually, it's stunt doubles,
I'm just making sure you're listening.
First up, they're 10,100 tons of fun...
Yeah, I've got Google.
..it's Eiffel Tower.
FRENCH ACCORDION MUSIC
# Not really sure How I feel about you... #
The semi-finals!
Tell it to my heart to stop beating.
That sounds like a song title.
What do I think of the panel's guesses?
Paloma Faith. Lisa Stansfield.
Macy Gray?
They're so fine, they blow my mind.
# Aux Champs-Elysees... #
Looking back on my career...
Wow! Could have been a dream.
What's that, Jonathan? RITA:Looks like a sewing kit.
I didn't fall into the parent trap, non!
But with youth on my side, out of the blue...
"Billie Joe Armstrong?"
Lead singer of Green Day.
..I was able to swap car parks and motorways
with flights and airplanes.
Well, someone that's well travelled.
They're in space.
The view - iconic.
Like the sparkling diamonds of Paris, top of the world.
Next up on this voyage, the stage.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
SONG: 'Paradise City'
Yeah!
# Take me down to the Paradise City
# Where the grass is green And the girls are pretty
# Oh, won't you please Take me home... #
Listen to the voice. Great voice.
# Take me down to the Paradise City
# Where the grass is green And the girls are pretty
# Oh, won't you please Take me home...
That's a great voice. Wow.
# Just an urchin Living under the street,
# I'm a hard case That's tough to beat
# I'm your charity case So give me somethin' to eat
# I'll pay you at another time
# Take it to the end of the line
# Take me down to the Paradise City
# Where the grass is green And the girls are pretty
# Oh, won't you please Take me home, yeah!
# Take me down to the Paradise City
# Where the grass is green And the girls are pretty
# Oh, won't you please Take me home, yeah!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Woo-hoo! Rock it out!
# Strapped in the chair Of the city's gas chamber
# Why I'm here I can't remember
# The Surgeon General Says it's hard to breathe
# I'd have another cigarette But I can't see... #
Wow! Woo! # Tell me, who you're gonna believe?
# Take me down to the Paradise City Where the grass is green... #
Very distinctive voice. So rocky and husky.
# Oh, won't you please Take me home? #
Wow.
# Take me down to the Paradise City
# Where the grass is green And the girls are pretty
# Oh, won't you please Take me home... #
Woo-hoo!
# Oh, take me down To the Paradise City
# Where the grass is green And the girls are pretty
# Oh, won't you please Take me home?
# Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Woo-hoo!
JOEL: Yeah! Wow!
I mean, come on!
How amazing was that? Unbelievable.
Rock and roll, that was incredible.
Eiffel Tower, that's your best performance all series.
Yeah. Absolutely amazing.
JONATHAN:That was great.
Your voice is so familiar, but I am so confused.
You're so obsessed with Paris and France.
And I feel like all that travel makes me think of a song, Fast Car.
Could it be Tracy Chapman? Ooh. Love that.
Jonathan, what did you think?
You're obviously a professional singer,
you've got a great voice. Looking at the clues,
the big one that stuck out to me was "I have youth on my side."
I think it's someone who was a star when they were very young.
There was a mention to sparkling diamonds.
What's a famous diamond shop?
Oh, Tiffany's. Tiffany's. Tiffany's.
Tiffany has a great voice.
So it could be Tiffany.
But I'm gonna go with someone else from the same era,
because you mentioned "out of the blue"
and this was this person's solo album title.
I think it's Debbie Gibson.
LORRAINE:Oh, that's Debbie Gibson. That's a good one.
DAVINA:That's a great guess.
Lorraine, who is this?
I think it is somebody French.
She had a hit with Joe Le Taxi, in a tootie wee voice,
but she might have just been putting that tootie wee voice on.
AUDIENCE LAUGH
And I think it's Vanessa Paradis.
Ooh. I think it is.
JONATHAN:Paradise City. Davina?
So I keep trying to follow the clues. "Hey Mickey".
I went back to that. Yeah, yeah.
And I think of the Disney Kids sort of era.
So, Parent Trap with Lindsay Lohan.
Billie Joe Armstrong, Green Day singer.
I was thinking green, Irish heritage, Lindsay Lohan.
Oh!And I'm gonna go with Lindsay Lohan.
I love that. It kind of works.
Mo Gilligan? In the clues,
you went into the International Space Station,
She was looking at the word, so I thought Lisa Stansfield.
Yes! You know?
She has the song, Been Around the World...
And that may be the Paris thing.
Who's the star with a je ne sais quoi?
We'll only know when the mask comes off.
It's Eiffel Tower, everyone! JONATHAN:Yeah.
DAVINA:So good.
Her performance was brie-yond belief.
It was too good Toulouse.
Who do you think's behind the mask?
The panel think they may have guessed me.
But am I Debbie? Maybe.
On to our next performer now.
It's Bigfoot. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Oh, don't you dare look back Just keep your eyes on me... #
My heart's racing, I'm so excited!
# Shut up and dance with me... #
Joe Hart. Alex Brooker.
It's Alex Brooker!
To go out now would be abominable!
# And dance with me. #
I can't believe I've made it to the semi-final.
This is definitely something to write home about.
"Write home".
In a lot of reality shows they have to write letters.
I've got to press on. Could be a journalist.
I could see the finish lines, man.
Lines, writer.
Some people might not believe in Bigfoot,
but I enjoy proving people wrong.
# More, more, more
# Then jump. #
Jump! Ah-ha, yes.
I might be too clumsy for the kitchen, but I'm good at grilling.
Could be an investigative journalist.
I hope this encourages people to come visit me.
I love guests.
Here's hoping I make it through to the final.
# Then jump! #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
LORRAINE:Yay! JONATHAN:Yeah!
SONG: 'Everybody'
# Everybody... #
Woo-hoo-hoo! Wow!
# Rock your body... #
Backstreet Boys, Lorraine? So mad.
Do you like Backstreet Boys? Love them.
# Yeah... #
This is a big tune, you know. # Rock your body right
# Back street's back, all right!
# Hey, yeah, yeah Oh
# Oh, my God We're back again... #
Woo!
# Brothers, sisters, everybody sing
# Gonna bring the flavour Show you how
# Got a question for you Better answer now... #
I know this voice.
# Am I original?
# Yeah
# Am I the only one?
# Yeah
# Am I sexual?
# Yeah
# Am I everything you need?
# You better rock your body now
# Everybody, yeah
# Rock your body, yeah
# Yeah
# Everybody, yeah
# Rock your body right
# Back street's back
# Everybody, yeah
# Rock your body, yeah Yeah
# Everybody Rock your body right... #
# Rock your body right... #
# Back streets' back, all right! #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
So cute!
Oh, well done!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Jonathan, what did you think? Great, wasn't it, everybody?
Always great fun. Party!
Always puts so much into it.
You were talking about writing home a lot
and getting to the finishing line, and could that be a journalist?
Or someone who's interviewed a lot of people, you mentioned that.
Could it be John Bishop in there? Ooh.Ooh.
AUDIENCE MUTTERS INDISTINCTLY
And I can see you don't agree with me.
I'm gonna go back to the guess I've been saying
for a few weeks now, which I think is,
from The Last Leg, I think it's Alex Brooker.
Oh, interesting. Lorraine, who is this?
Well, I was thinking there was a lot of reference
in there about football,
and then I noticed a unicorn in there.
And do you remember the England team were all playing around
in these giant blow up unicorns?
Oh, yes! So I think it's a footballer.
I'm going to say Wayne Bridge. Wayne Bridge?
Because he was on I'm A Celebrity. Yes.
I like that. Rita?
I'd actually agree with Lorraine.
I went down the I'm A Celeb route, too,
and he talked about "being wrong." But who is always right? Ian Wright.
Yes. JONATHAN:Good guess.
I like that a lot. I'm with you.
Davina, what are you thinking?
There was something that you said people might not believe in Bigfoot,
but "I enjoy proving people wrong", and this cemented our guess,
because Alex Brooker
has always been one of those people that fought prejudice along the way
and always just gone on to over exceed all expectations.
Also I heard the song "Jump", and we were on The Jump together.
Ooh! Yeah.
And I think we're looking at Alex Brooker.
How about that? Interesting.
Mo Gilligan?
I'm gonna throw one more name in there,
because there was the clues of the journalist.
We have Lorraine on the show.
It could be Richard Arnold in there, how about that?
Oh! LORRAINE:It could be!
Whoever it is, they're adorable.
AUDIENCE:Aww! Just adorable.
Well, we'll only sas-catch a glimpse of who's inside
when the mask comes off.
Let's hear it for Bigfoot, everyone! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Love you, Bigfoot.
Are the panel a hairy's breath away from Bigfoot's identity?
Or is the mystery still unsolved?
Who do you think's behind the mask?
I'm in the semi-final! Woo-hoo!
I heard Bigfoot's back to sing again tonight!
Coming up after the break, it's Piranha and Air Fryer!
Ooh, sounds delicious. Mwah.
# Who's that behind the mask? #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Welcome back to The Masked Singer semi-final!
Tonight, two acts will be leaving the competition,
and Lorraine Kelly's here! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Lorraine loves a good chat on a show.
She'll chew your ear off, just like this next act...
it's Piranha!
Woo!
# Since you've been gone... #
It's the semi-finals, and I can't believe I'm here.
# Yeah, yeah!# Darren Criss.
Jamie Cullum. I think it's Max George.
I thought it might be Michael Bolton.
I don't want to leave
cos I'm making big waves in the pond.
# Since you've been gone. #
# Closer to me, baby I won't bite. #
Time to rock and roll, I'm not ready to write myself off.
It's a fake English accent, isn't it?
And I've been dreaming day and night about my next performance.
I really hope it has the desired effect.
I am V-excited, plus a little, ooh, nervous, if it goes badly.
But I'm not going to very potter about.
Harry Potter. Not going to potter about.
Once more around the block.
J.Lo, J.Lo, Jenny From The Block.
Whoa!
Bats... Batman.
OK, this scaredy-locks might have to call mum.
Is trying to work out who I am driving you round the river bend?
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
SONG: 'Without You'
# No, I can't forget this evening
# Or your face as you were leaving
# But I guess that's just the way The story goes... #
Woo! What a voice.
# You always smile but in your eyes
# Your sorrow shows
# Yes, it shows
# Oh-ohs
# I can't live
# If living is without you
# I can't give... #
Come on. Let me get this.
# I can't give any more
# I can't live
# If living is without you
# I can't live I can't give any more... #
Yes!
# Well, I can't forget this evening
# Or your face as you were leaving
# But I guess that's just The way the story goes
# You always smile But in your eyes
# Your sorrow shows
# Oh, yes, it shows
# Oh-oh
# I can't live... # CHEERING
# If living is without you... #
Wow.
# I can't live
# I can't give any more
# I can't live
# If living is without you
# I can't give... # CHEERING
# I can't give any more! #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Wow.
Wow. Wow.
Wow!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Rita, wasn't that incredible?
That was so beautiful, I'm tearing up. Wow!
I can't believe I'm crying in front of a piranha!
Also, you are... you are allergic to fish.
LAUGHTER
It's driving me up the wall.
The Harry Potter thing, is that something to do with the name,
you know Daniel Radcliffe, it got me thinking Daniels,
and then I thought, "Could it be Daniel Bedingfield?"
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
It sounds a bit like him. DAVINA:Daniel Bedingfield!
I was just thinking there was one other name
that I thought it sounded like. Ooh.
I was thinking about Danny Jones as well.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE I heard a bit of that in there.
But I'm really stuck on whether you're an American.
You were talking about "once more around the block,"
and I thought, "New Kids On The Block,"
so I'm gonna go Donnie Wahlberg. OK.
AUDIENCE:Ooh!
Mo Gilligan.
I've always been saying this for a couple of weeks, Joel.
This is someone that's been in maybe, like,
a High School Musical, maybe Glee.
They had the lead role in an episode
where he played Harry Potter in Glee.
Oh, wow. Oh.
I think it could be Darren Criss from Glee in there.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE That's what I think. Darren Criss.
Lorraine. This is very difficult.
I went down the Harry Potter road.
There was a vampire bat in there, and then I still thought
on the lines of Harry Potter.
It might be Robert Pattinson cos he can do anything.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE That's who I'm gonna go for.
Jonathan.A few weeks ago, there was a clue about Las Vegas,
we saw some flowers in the background.
This is someone I know who was born in Las Vegas,
he's in a band in Las Vegas,
and you said in tonight's clue package, "desired effect".
This was the lead singer of this band's solo album.
And to further cap it off, what would you call piranhas?
Fish. Killers.
Killers. Oh, yeah.
From The Killers, I think it's Brandon Flowers.
JOEL: Whoa! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
That's who I think it is.
Well, we'll only shine a lighter on the biter
when the mask comes off.
Give it up for Piranha, everyone!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# I can't live
# Without knowing who Piranha is. #
Who do you think's behind the mask?
It's the semi-final.
Have the panel put this case to Bed-ingfield?
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE On with the investigation now.
I don't wanna be dramatic,
but this character really makes a meal of everything.
It's Air Fryer! Whoo!
Air Fryer, all right. Let's go, let's go.
# I'd sooner buy
# Defying gravity... #
Ooh-hoo! Wow!
I steamed through the heats.
# Defying gravity... #
I think it's Leona Lewis.
Ella Henderson. Dannii Minogue.
It is Ashley Roberts in there.
And the panel are no closer to guessing me.
SHE LAUGHS
SHE VOCALISES
Whoopee! "Whoopee."
Oh, "whoopee"? It's the semi-finals.
This is purr-fect.
"Purr-fect". Cats? Buckle up.
I'd do anything for quick meals
and healthy habits.
Meditation.
I'm an all-star musical product,
sold in shopping centres, online
and the West End.
You've noticed our digital voice is set to English,
but our default is...
IN AMERICAN ACCENT:..American.
But unboxing your new air fryer in the UK
is like a homecoming.
Is she British? Is she American?
I think that's somebody American, do you know.
You Brits are our favourite oven fans!
SHE CHUCKLES
# Wherever that good vibe is It feels like home. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
SONG: 'I'm Outta Love'
# Oh, yeah... #
Oh! Oh, total banger.
# Now, baby, come on
# Claim that love You never let me feel
# I shoulda known
# Cos you brought nothing real
# Come on, be a man about it You won't die... #
It's good. It sounds like Anastacia.
# No more tears to cry... # It does.
# And I can't take this no more
# You know I gotta let it go
# And you know
# I'm outta love, set me free
# Free, yeah Let me out this misery
# Oh, let me out this misery, yeah
# To get my life again
# You can't handle me
# Said I'm outta love I'm outta love
# Set me free Set me free
# Let me out this misery
# No, no, no, no, Just show me the way
# To get my life again My life again
# You can't handle me
# Said I'm outta love
# Can't you see? Can't you see?
SHE VOCALISES # Baby, that you gotta set me free
# I'm outta love, ah. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Wow, wow, wow, wow!
I've said that a lot this evening, but wow.
Lorraine, I'm gonna come straight to you.Oh, my goodness.
'Ey, well, you know you said "perfect"
but you didn't say "perfect" you said "purr-fect,"
so it made me think of pussy cats. Yes.
And I know, if in doubt, go for a Pussycat Doll.
LAUGHTER I know that. I do understand that.
But also, there's a lot of food going on in there.
Yes, yes. A lot of food references.
And I remember she won Celebrity MasterChef,
and she also did stuff for my show. Yes. Cooking.
It might be Kimberly Wyatt. Ooh.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE But I don't know!
I don't know! AS LORRAINE: I don't know!
I don't know! It's so fun.
I don't think this is a Pussycat Doll,
even though the pussycat reference. I think, with that voice,
and I believe she was in the film Cats,
I think it's Jennifer Hudson.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Oh!Oh!
Wow. Who do you think it is, Mo?
I said this name previously before.
She was in a musical which is titled "Dreamboats And Petticoats".
I think it is Ella Henderson in there.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Oh, it's a good guess.
Davina, who is it?
The clues that I was thinking - "purr-fect" for cats,
this person played the Cheshire Cat in Alice In Wonderland.
Mm. I was thinking Whoopi Goldberg.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Ooh.
I think that's a great guess, Davina.
I like that. Rita, who are you thinking?
The notes you were hitting were so clean...
Yeah. ..and pitch perfect.
Which also made me think Pitch Perfect, the movie.
"Purr-fect".
It could be Rebel Wilson. DAVINA GASPS
LORRAINE:Oh, that's a good one. Yes.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Oh, my God, that is good, Rita.
Do the panel need to fry, fry, fry again?
We'll only know when the mask comes off.
Give it up for Air Fryer, everybody!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Take two divas, a pinch of Hollywood legend
and a squirt of Rebel sauce.
Is that the recipe for success?
Who do you think's behind the mask?
Whoopee!
Has Davina struck GOLD with that guess, or hit an ice BERG?
SHE CHUCKLES, CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Time for one last act before the studio audience vote!
But first - shh!
I'm keeping my voice down because someone's planted a bug.
It's Cricket.
OK. Right, here we go.
SONG: 'Antenna'
# African lady You know say you got me crazy... #
What an innings it has been.
That is Lemar. Taio Cruz.
Gregory Porter. I think it's Seal!
Making jolly good runs and still not out.
# Oh-oh-oh. #
Yeah! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Jolly good. I've not been ushered here,
it's been my destiny since I was a child.
Destiny. Destiny's Child.
But it's not been an easy cruise.
It could break your heart, but there is justice,
with everyone banding together.
Justice.
ON PHONE:'Hey, Cricket, just called to say you made that win look easy.'
"Made that win look easy." Someone who's won...
I've had success. I've hit the stumps seven times before.
Seven number ones, seven top tens. This is a big-time singer.
# Like a bat out of hell
# I'll be gone When the morning comes... #
So I'm not looking to be runner-up.
I'm ready for the semi-final.
Red wig? What's that about? I'm confused by the red wig.
It's time to bowl out the competition.
# Like a bat out of hell! #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
SONG: 'I Can't Make You Love Me'
# Oh-oh-oh... #
CHEERING # I
# Ooh-ooh-ooh
# Turn down the lights
# Turn down the bed
# Turn down these voices
# Inside my head
# Lay down with me
# Tell me no lies
# Just hold me close
# Don't patronise... #
CHEERING
# Don't patronise
# Me... #
Wow.
# I can't make you love me
# If you don't
# You can't make your heart feel
# Something it won't
# Here in the dark... # CHEERING
# In these final hours
# I wanna lay down... #
Whoo! What a voice.
# And I'll feel the power
# You won't
# No, you won't
# Say you love
# Love me, love me
# I-I-I-I
# Can't make you love me
# If you don't. #
HE VOCALISES
Wow. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Oh, my God. Amazing.
Whoo!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE JOEL: Wow.
It's Cricket, everyone!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Is this show trying to just tear me into 100 pieces?
AUDIENCE:Aw... That was amazing.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Who do you think it is, Rita? I have always said it.
Said it from the get-go as soon as I heard you.
It's Lemar. Yeah. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
You're going Lemar. Yeah.
Davina. Oh, my gosh.
I just forgot that I was trying to guess who was behind the mask.
I got so into it. Yeah.
And that was an incredible interpretation.
Yeah. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Erm...
So, talking about justice
and there's been loads of references to "all rise", justice,
when a judge walks in, everybody has to rise.
I keep thinking about Blue.
Simon Webbe is the name.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE And that tone.
OK, I'm gonna come to you, Mo.
So, when I'm looking at the clues, there's the red wig,
and on Fame Academy, one of the judges, she has red hair.
Yeah. Carrie. Carrie. Yeah, Carrie has red hair.
You said some of the clues, justice, if there's any justice,
then it could be Lemar in there.
Could be Lemar. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Lorraine. Oh...
What a beautiful, beautiful voice.
One of the clues was banding together.
Everybody wants to work with this person
cos they are just so fantastic
and possibly one of the most beautiful
and loveliest person in the world.
Number seven. Well, they had a hit with Seven Days,
so I think it's Craig David.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Wow.
Good guess. Jonathan.
Here's my guess. Oh, God, here we go.
There was a clue there, you mentioned the word "cruise".
RITA:Get ready, guys. And you said seven times.
Well, seven times this person... LAUGHTER
..has accepted a mission that was considered impossible.
Don't even let him finish this, guys.
It's Tom Cruise. It's Tom Cruise in there.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE LORRAINE:So silly!
So silly.
Will they be into the last four?!
We'll only know when the mask comes off.
It's Cricket!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Is Jonathan cruising for a bruising?
Has Davina unravelled Cricket's web?
Who do you think's behind the mask?
The panel are convinced this cricket found fame on Fame Academy,
but are they wide of Lemar-k?
All of our semi-finalists have performed,
and after the break, the studio audience will vote
and one character will be unmasked immediately.
Can you keep up? I can't. Whew! I'm pooped.
Don't go anywhere.
# Who's that behind the mask? #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Welcome back to The Masked Singer.
After five semi-final-tastic performances,
it's time for our studio audience to vote for their favourites.
The character with the fewest votes will be unmasked immediately.
AUDIENCE:Ooh!
The remaining four will then sing again

SHE LAUGHS The faces!
I can't cope. That's hysterical. They were miles away.
Never even slightly close. Didn't have a clue.
Didn't have a clue at all. Not...Not even close.
LAUGHTER
We all rather like it when none of us get it right
because you've done such a good job disguising your voice.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
What did you think of some of their guesses?
There were so many close ones, and the guest judges that you've had,
one of them I actually knew, and so I was standing here going,
"Please, please..." It was Jennifer.
Was it Jennifer?It was Saunders. LAUGHTER
And also, the clue with the scissors and the mirror,
and obviously, you had the beard in The Greatest Showman.
Ah... Yeah. Of course.
And there was a zen meditation thing.
Was that about Zendaya? A "Z".
Yeah. Oh... Oh...
The golden snow globe.
"This Is Me" won the Golden Globe... Won the Golden Globe...in 2018.
Oh, wow, of course. Hello? The best song? Come on.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Come on.
There was a clue about the West End. You played Juliet.
I did, I was in & Juliet. I played the Nurse. Oh, yeah...
And then I did Sister Act
with Jennifer Saunders AND Beverley Knight! Oh!
And Alexandra Burke's going to do it,
so I was like, "Oh, gosh! They're so close!"
We were so close. JONATHAN:We were circling.
Have you got an air fryer, and will you ever use it again?
I have got an air fryer, and I absolutely love it!
APPLAUSE, LAUGHTER
You're known for your incredible voice,
which you've completely shown on this show.
Like, how difficult was it to sing in this costume?
Erm, the difficulty wasn't really physical.
You have this facade
that you're used to performing in... Yeah.
..being that person, and when this is on, that's off,
because this is what they're looking at...
Yeah. ..the air fryer.
It was a massive learning experience,
and it was a game changer for me.
Wow. I'm so pleased and privileged to be able to do it.
Aw!
Have you enjoyed yourself?
Immensely. Really?
That's so good. It's been such a privilege.
MO:You was absolutely phenomenal.
Some of the songs you were singing,
it was almost like this show could go on for ten years,
and we would never know. LAUGHTER
Oh, my God, you've been so, so wonderful.
Singing for us one final time, unmasked at last,
it's Keala Settle, everyone!
APPLAUSE SCREAMING:Let's go!
Whoo! SONG: 'I'm Outta Love'
# Oh, yeah... #
Oh, yes!
# Now, baby, come on
# Don't claim that love
# You never let me feel
# I shoulda known... #
Wow, that's amazing.
# Come on, be a man about it
# You won't die
# I got no more tears to cry
# And I can't take this no more
# You know I gotta let it go
# And you know
# I'm outta love
# Set me free, yeah... #

SONG: 'Castle On The Hill'
# When I was six years old
# I broke my leg
# Well, I was younger then
# Take me back to when
# I found my heart
# And broke it here
# Made friends And lost them through the years
# And I've not seen The roaring fields
# In so long Oh, how I've grown
# But I can't wait to go home
# I'm on my way
# Driving at 90
# Down those country lanes
# Singing to Tiny Dancer
# And I miss the way
# You make me feel
# It's real for me
# We watched the sun set
# Over the castle on the hill
# Weekend jobs when we got paid
# We'd buy cheap spirits And drink them straight
# And me and my friends Have not thrown up
# In so long... # Wow.
# Oh, how we've grown
# I can't wait to go home
# I'm on my way
# Driving at 90
# Down those country lanes

LAUGHS
SLURPS
LAUGHTER
My-My biggest hit made me a teen idol
AUDIENCE:Ooh.
Oh! Oh, interesting.
So, Lindsay Lohan, Parent Trap.
That was a big hit movie.
I've said some names from the late '80s, early '90s,
who were both really big teen idols. Like, kind of paved the way.
It was Tiffany and Debbie Gibson,
and I'm pretty sure that's Debbie Gibson in there.
Going for Debbie Gibson still. Interesting. OK.
You'll only see who's been creeping about inside
when the mask comes off.
Give it up for Eiffel Tower, everyone.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Ooh, la la.
Did my moment of truth reveal a teensy bit too much?
Have the panel worked out who I am?
CHEERING After the break,
we've got just two more performances before we reveal
the identity of another masked singer.
But now, fancy winning big?
Here's another chance to win a double prize package
worth £118,000.
# Who's that behind the mask? #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Welcome back to The Masked Singer semi-final.
Oh!
Everyone's shouting, "Who's that? Who's that? Who's that?"
And I'm like, "Guys, it's been five series,
"my name's Joel."
LAUGHTER
After just two more performances,
we will find out who's heading into the Grand Final
and who's gonna be unmasked,
but next up, they put the "eat" in "hard to beat",
it's Piranha!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# If I told you This was only gonna hurt
# If I warned you That the fire's gonna burn
# Would you walk in? Would you let me do it first?
# Do it all in the name of love... # So good.
# Would you let me Lead you even when you're blind?
# In the darkness In the middle of the night
# Would you call me With no-one by your side?
# Do it all in the name of love
# In the name of love
# Name of love

AUDIENCE:Oooh.
The Truth Juice shall set you free, Piranha.
Here it comes.
SLURPING
This is so funny.
OK, what's the truth clue? Here we go.
STRAINING
I performed at Glastonbury.
Oooh. Oh!
He says he's performed at Glastonbury,
it sounds like he's got indigestion.
LAUGHTER
Do you know how many people have performed at Glastonbury? I know.
I feel like you might have popped out once at Glastonbury.
I did pop out once at Glastonbury and I apologised for that.
You know who... LAUGHTER
You know who performed at Glastonbury
and who would be in his pyjamas at this time of night?
Who? Elton John.
LAUGHTER
Elton John.
To be fair, there's enough space for some big spectacles in there.
That could really help.
And The Killers have performed at Glastonbury as well,
so it could be Brandon Flowers. The Killers have performed as well.
I might throw a new name in there. Yes.
Tom Grennan. Oooh.
It really has his tone of voice, actually.
Actually, I think you might be right.
Yes. I'm with you on that.
You've probably had him on your show. Yes, yes.
JONATHAN:Can I throw another name in?
He's a friend of mine, he's got a lovely voice,
you won't know him, he's a plumber, but his name is Tony.
Tony the plumber! LAUGHTER
Oh, my lord.
Who's been lying through their teeth?
We will only know when the mask comes off.
Give it up for Piranha, everyone!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
The panel went fishing for the truth,
but it's left them even more confused.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
We have just one more performance
before the studio audience vote for a second time tonight.
Hoping to cross the boundary into the Grand Final, it's Cricket.
Come on, Cricket, we want to say good night to you.
# Holdin' me back Gravity's holdin' me back
# I want you to hold out The palm of your hand
# Why don't we leave it at that?
# Nothin' to say When everything gets in the way
# Seems you cannot be replaced
# And I'm the one who will stay, oh
# In this world, it's just us
# You know it's not the same... #
Dancing! # As it was
# In this world, it's just us
# You know it's not the same As it was
# As it was
# You know it's not the same
# Answer the phone "Cricket, you're no good alone
# "Why are you sittin' at home On the floor?
# "What kind of things will go on?"
# Ooh
# In this world, it's just us
# You know it's not the same As it was
# In this world, it's just us
# You know it's not the same
# Go home, get ahead Light-speed internet
# I don't wanna talk About the way that it was
# Leave America, two kids follow her
# I don't want to think about The thing that it was
# Everybody!
# In this world, it's just us
# And you know it's not the same As it was
# As it was
# You know it's not the same. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Whoo!
Fantastic.
Wow.
Love that.
Wow.
You have bowled us over. Give it up for Cricket, everyone.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Guys, you ready for one last helping of Truth Juice?

Sip, sip, sip, sip.
SLURPING
LAUGHTER
Cricket is thirsty!
LAUGHTER OK, what's your clue?
SPUTTERING No. No!
Oh!
I'm a BRIT Award winner.
Oh!
Oh, "I'm a BRIT Award winner."
Simon Webbe, Blue.
APPLAUSE
And Lemar. I mean, that does not narrow it down.
Craig David must have one. He's definitely got a BRIT.
He's got tonnes, I bet.
But it doesn't really make any sense cos Tom Cruise hasn't won any BRITs.
Tom Cruise hasn't won any BRITs at all.
It might not be him, then. OK.
Will you be hit for six when you see who it is?
We'll only know when the mask comes off.
Give it up for Cricket, everyone.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Love Cricket.
The Goblet of Truth got me to reveal a bit too much.
Has it helped you work out who I am?
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
After the break, our studio audience will vote for their grand finalist,
and another celebrity will be unmasked.
Is there any more Truth Juice left?
I need to tell the panel what I think of them.
Jonathan, you're up first.
LAUGHTER
# Who's that behind the mask? #
