CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
DAVINA: Oh!
JONATHAN: WOW!
Yes, Phoenix. Yay!
Great Scott! What a way to open the show!
I'm Joel Dommett and you've stepped into
The Masked Singer Time Machine, everybody!
CHEERING
So, get ready to hear some timeless tunes
as we unravel one of the greatest mysteries of our age...
who's behind the mask?
AUDIENCE: Wh00!
So, we better get some help. It's the panel, everybody!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I'm coming, I'm coming. Got slidy shoes.
Yay, he's gonna make it. Yay!
OK, I'll be honest, guys, if you haven't seen Back To The Future,
you're not gonna get any of these intros. Prepare yourself.
Oh, I'm here for this.
We need a DeLorean to go back and get some of his references,
am I right? It's Jonathan Ross.
Thank you. I'm proud of them, proud of them!
She only travels at 88 miles per Ora.
It's Rita Ora!
I love that.
Yeah!
Hello, anybody home? Think, McCall, think!
It's Davina McCall!
CHEERING
And he's our very own Marty Mo-fly...
It's Mo Gilligan!
CHEERING
It is our Time Travel Special and you have all delivered.
Jonathan, I've gotta come to you.
I know, I'm so sorry, I didn't have time
to get ready for the show tonight.
The kids watching won't know what this look is,
this is from the 1970s, and in the 1970s, kids,
everyone dressed like this,
bank managers, politicians, everyone.
Look it up on your TikToks.
Davina, you look like very Charlie's Angels vibes.
She is giving us fever, honey. Fever!
Do you want me to go back-to-back, ready?
Let's do this. Let's do this.
Oh, hello. CHEERING
And.. . Yes! Wow.
I love it. Hang on. Get it down!
LAUGHTER
Very tight, this outfit. You look incredible. Thanks.
Rita, you've gone mad with the hair as well. You look wonderful.
Thank you, I choose to go down the '60s route.
Of course she looks spectacular, if you turn sideways,
she looks like one of the cakes they do
in the Showstoppers on Bake Off. It's true!
We've got our very own time machine tonight.
Mo, I know you like to live in the Mo-ment,
but what era of music gets you on the dance floor?
I was born in the '80s, you see, so I like a bit of '80s groove. Mmm.
You know, bit of funk as well.
Get down! Huh! Come on! Get down!
I'm gonna talk in that way.
FUNK ACCENT: Who behind the mask? Oh, no, Joel!
LAUGHTER
OK, the clock is ticking, good luck. It's our panel, everybody!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Come on.
Tonight, each character will transport our audience
to another era with a smash hit from the past.
After all five have performed, the two acts with the fewest votes
will compete in a sing-off and one of them will be unmasked!
Remember, there are clues everywhere.
Especially in the clue packages, parts of which feature stunt doubles
because our celebrities were relaxing
in their hot tub time machines.
LAUGHTER First up...
# For she's a jelly good fellow For she's a jelly good fellow
# For she's a jelly good fellow And who's inside the mask? #
It's jellyfish!
# First, let me take a selfie.
# Selfie, selfie Let me take a selfie. #
CAMERA CLICKING
SONG: 'Sweet Child O' Mine'
# Whoa-oh-oh-oh Sweet child 0' mine... #
In my last performance, I made waves.
# Oh-oh-oh-oh. #
The panel tried to guess my name...
Could it be Michelle Keegan? Alexandra Burke?
Michelle Visage. Ellie Goulding.
...but they haven't caught me yet.
SONG: 'Under The Sea'
Fun fact, guys, a group of jellyfish is called a smack.
That's awesome, right?
Maybe she was in a band? Yeah.
Having a group, a support network, that's very important.
Totally rad.
"Good Magic." Little Mix - Magic.
But me, I'm not always in a smack, I like to float around.
What accent do you think there is under there?
American?
SONG: 'Levitating'
Here's a clue for you. Something exceptionally small...
...turned out to be my biggest encouragement.
It's important to know yourself.
But let me say this, there's more than one of me to know.
"Ogeretla."
Maybe the other way round. Alter ego.
Tonight, I'm singing a tentacular tune.
Let's do this.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
SONG: 'Take Me To Church'
# My lover's got humour
# She's the giggle at the funeral
# It's everybody's disapproval
# I should've worshipped her sooner
# We were born sick You heard 'em say it
# My church offers no absolutes
# She said worship in the bedroom
# The only heaven I'll be sent to
# ls when I'm alone with you
# We were born sick, and I love it
# Command me to be well
# Amen, amen
# Take me to church
# I'll worship like a dog At the shrine of your lies
# I'll give you my sins So you can sharpen your knife... #
Wow! # Offer me that deathless death
# Good God, let me give you my life
# Take me to church
# I'll worship like a dog At the shrine of your lies
# I'll give you my sins So you can sharpen your knife... #
I know this voice.
# Offer me that deathless death Good God
# If I'm a pagan of the good times My lover's the sunlight
# With the Goddess on my side She demands a sacrifice... #
Beautiful.
# That was tasty, that was plenty
# This is hungry work
# Take me to church
# I'll worship like a dog At the shrine of your lies
# I'll give you my sins So you can sharpen your knife
# Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life
# Take me to church
# I'll worship like a dog At the shrine of your lies
# I'll give you my sins So you can sharpen your knife
# Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life
# Take me to church. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
WOW!
Give it up for jellyfish, everybody!
APPLAUSE
Wow. Wow.
Jonathan, what did you think?
You are a star fish, that is great singing!
CHEERING
On the screen, did you see the racing tracks? Yeah.
I know thatjanetjackson has a big collection of racing cars.
Could be Janet Jackson. DAVINA: Ooh.
Well, Davina, let's come to you.
I was thinking about the clues and they had those huts on the beach
and they're lit up, those huts, and I thought,
"Well, we're either thinking Malibu or Brighton."
LAUGHTER
Ancl I'm leaning towards America, and I thought,
"Who's got a really big, powerful, versatile voice?"
Ancl I think the alter ego thing is the fact that, like, she can sing
so many different styles of music. So I'm gonna go with Kelly Clarks on.
JONATHAN: Good guess. Yeah. That's good.
Mo? What you thinking, my friend?
When I looked at some of the clues, I did see group,
you mentioned group a few times, so I thought maybe Little Mix.
Met her once before and I'm thinking it might be Leigh-Anne Pinnock.
APPLAUSE
There's a lot of love for that. Rita?
Jellyfish, I mean, wow.
That was, for me, one of the best vocals I've heard
being on The Masked Singer, full stop. It really was.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
So I heard The Little Mermaid theme song
and this person was in a band with her sister,
they started when they were young,
maybe it could be Halle Bailey,
who is about to be in the new Little Mermaid.
CHEERING
Do you guys need another clue? Yes, please, Joel.
Oh, well, you can have two of 'em, but there's a catch.
Only one of them is true.
We call this game Clue Or False - The Time Hop Edition.
Jellyfish, can we have your first clue, please?
Wow. There's an accent in there that's being hidden, I feel like.
Let's have clue number two.
What's mononymous mean?
It means singular name. Let's ask the audience.
Audience, if you think clue number one is true, give a cheer.
CHEERING
About five people and one very loud man.
LAUGHTER
If you think clue number two is true, give me a cheer.
LOUD CHEERING
Yes, clue number two, I bet you.
Interesting. They think clue number two.
Maybe it's a singer with one name
like Cher or Madonna, they have one name.
P!nk, it could be P!nk. Is it P!nk in there?
Look at the colour of the costume!
Well, we'll only get a peep at who's rolling in the deep
when the mask comes off.
Give it up for jellyfish, everybody!
JONATHAN: Yeah!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE You're amazing!
SONG: 'Electric Avenue'
Did the panel's guesses have a sting in their tail?
Who do you think's behind the mask?
Oh, wow, my second performance as jellyfish.
That felt electrifying, but are the panel any closer to getting me?
I'm not telling you.
Time now for a break, but we'll be back in the future
when Cat and Mouse are in the house.
See you on the other side.
# Who's that behind the mask? #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Welcome back to The Masked Singer Time Machine Special.
Before the break, we saw, erm...
Oh, I can't remember.
Let me go back in time and find out.
Oh, no. Joel go back too far. Joel caveman now.
LAUGHTER
While I'm dressed like this, I'm gonna go "clubbing".
Tonight, we're all blasting into the past
as our characters sing some of the biggest hits ever.
Time now for little and large.
No, not my nipples - it's Cat and Mouse.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
SLURPING
# Anything you can do I can do better
# I can do anything Better than you... #
Last time, my investigation stalled.
But I wasn't worried. We're still fooling the panel.
Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard.
Tom Fletcher and Giovanna Fletcher.
Maybe it's Jerry and just some bloke.
# Yes, I can! #
'I'm still on the run.'
This makes me think of Coronation Street. It does.
'Ancl I'm in hot pursuit,
'examining all the clues left behind with a forensic eye.'
Oh, it's French numbers. Nine, that's number nine.
I will solve this crime. Yeah, yeah (!)
But I know how to stay one step ahead.
MEOWING, CAT HISSING
You know what you use to keep away with garlic? Vampires.
She may try to hide or lurk in the background,
but I have studied my opponent,
and I know she will show herself in the light...
...even though she might never have intended to do so.
Ancl I know him, he thinks he's a detective
and a judge all wrapped into one.
Maybe he's been a judge.
Maybe he's played a judge in a TV show or film.
Tonight, I'll be getting my claws into this case.
So he thinks, but I'm gonna leave him chasing his tail.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I love watching them, cos they look like they're having fun.
I love them.
SONG: 'Get Happy'
# Forget your troubles C'mon, get happy
# You better chase All your cares away
# Shout hallelujah C'mon, get happy
# Get ready for the judgement clay
# The sun is shinin' C'mon, get happy
# The Lord is waitin' To take your hand
# Shout hallelujah C'mon, get happy
# We're going to the promised land
BOTH: # We're heading 'cross the river
# Wash your sins away in the tide
# It's all so peaceful On the other side
# Forget your troubles C'mon, get happy
# You better chase All your cares away
# Shout hallelujah Cmon, get happy
# Get ready for the judgement day
# The sun is shinin' Cmon, get happy
# The Lord is waitin' To take your hand
# Shout hallelujah Cmon, get happy
# We're gonna be goin' to the promised land... #
Have you seen the clown fish?
Yeah. Comedians. What about Taskmaster?
# Shout hallelujah Cmon, get happy
# Get ready for the judgement day
# Heading 'cross the river
# Toss your sins away in the tide
# It's all so peaceful On the other side
# Shout hallelujah Cmon, get happy
# You better chase All your cares away
# Shout hallelujah Cmon, get happy
# Get ready
# For the judgement day! #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Yay!
Yeah!
WOW!
Oh, I love that. Give it up for Cat and Mouse!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Mouse is so cute.
I know. Oh, I loved it. You know what?
It's not a Masked Singer party without cheese on sticks.
LAUGHTER
It was absolutely wonderful. Mo?
Looking at the clues, there was a lot of detectives going on.
Dancers were dressed as detectives, the moon was a detective.
Cat, you are detective, and Mouse, you're a thief.
You're stealing the cheese. LAUGHTER
It could be from Line Of Duty.
It could be Martin Compston and Vicky McClure.
DAVINA GASPS Oh!
Yeah! That's who I've gone with.
How do you feel about that, Davina?
I don't think they're a couple romantically linked.
I don't get that vibe. I don't get that vibe at all.
I get they're a working duo.
I saw garlic,
and I thought vampires, and I thought Buffy,
and I came up with Sarah Michelle Gellar
and Anthony Head.
RITA: Ah! Yeah, I like it.
Rita? just cheese a minute.
That doesn't work.
LAUGHTER That doesn't work as a joke, Rita.
It's like "just wait a minute", just".
No, because you can't just replace "wait" with "cheese".
That's not how it works. Unbelievable.
OK. Hi, Cat and Mouse. I love you guys.
I went down the judge route,
and I thought maybe it's David Walliams
and Amanda Holden.
APPLAUSE
JONATHAN: That's not a bad guess.
Jonathan, what are you thinking?
I've enjoyed hearing everyone else get it so terribly wrong.
LAUGHTER
There's one clue I spotted which makes me fairly confident
that if I don't know who you are exactly,
I think I know where you come from.
You know when they were in the bar area,
did anyone notice the picture on the wall in the background?
Did you see that was Queen Victoria?
Oh! So that would be the Queen Vic,
which is from EastEnders. Yes, yes.
So I'm convinced that this is a couple from EastEnders.
Could it be Maisie Smith and Adam Woodyatt?
APPLAUSE That's good.
Let's get a clue. We need a clue. You need a clue?
Yes, yes. Yes, please.
OK, it's time to play Clue Or False.
You'll hear two time-hopping clues,
but only one of them is the real deal.
Cat and Mouse, let's hear your clue number one.
"Call us Bill and Ted because one of us is a time traveller."
And clue number two?
"Break of day"? OK. Let's ask the audience.
Do you think clue number one is true?
ONE PERSON CHEERS, LAUGHTER
Who thinks clue number two is true?
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
All for two, for the "break of day" one.
The break of day is when radio shows start, breakfast shows.
Maybe it IS Amanda Holden,
because she does the breakfast show on Heart. And Jamie Theakston!
Yes! That could work.
When you said Jamie Theakston, Cat, you just stopped, Cat. Yeah.
You just paused. "Pawsed".
"Pawsed"! See that, Rita, that was a joke.
Oh, shush! LAUGHTER
She couldn't say anything, because the Cat got her tongue.
And like that, Rita. That is good stuff!
I love you, Rita, and you're gonna smash it.
Are the panel just chasing their tails?
We'll only know when the masks come off.
Give it up for Cat and Mouse! APPLAUSE
# One way or another... # Well done.
# I'm gonna find ya
# I'm gonna get ya, get Ya Get ya, get ya
# One way or another... #
I have no idea who that is. I think we're getting closer.
I think probably EastEnders is a clue.
# One way or another. #
Have the panel been caught in a trap,
or are they just a whisker away from the truth?
Who do you think's behind the mask?
I think we might be the two "mouse-keteers"
after that performance.
No chance! The panel loved ME.
You "cheddar" believe it. CAT CH UCKLES
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
After the break, Phoenix is taking us back to the 1980s.
I pity the fool that doesn't join us after the break!
That's an '80s thing, apparently. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Who's that behind the mask? #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Welcome back to The Masked Singer Time Machine.
RITA GASPS DAVINA: Oh, yes!
That's an improvement. Wow!
Wow, how did he do that?
I've not actually been back to the '70s,
I just raided Jonathan's wardrobe.
LAUGHTER
How do I look, Jonathan? You look better than me.
LAUGHTER Thank you.
Next up, get ready to feel the burn, baby, burn.
It's Phoenix!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# When will I, will I be famous?
# I can't answer
that. #
PHOENIX CAWS
# She's up all night till the sun
# I'm up all night to get some... #
For my first performance, I set the stage on fire.
# I'm up all night to get lucky... #
Jason Orange. Nicholas Hoult.
Mick Hucknall. David Tennant, ladies and gentlemen.
But the panel weren't so lucky with my name.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
OK, I'm ready for my close-up.
Shall we begin?
Ancl action.
Movies. Director.
# A bird, bird, bird Bird's the word
# A-well, a bird, bird, bird Well, a bird is the word... #
Phoenixes are mythical.
Independent, yes.
Maybe they was in an independent film?
But me, I'm magical.
If you keep your eyes open, then you'll see.
# Everybody knows That the bird is the word
# A-well, a bird. #
Though I never set out to tread the boards...
There's a football there. Tread the boards.
I must confess, I have found myself doing just so.
Is there a footballer who's gone on to do theatre?
How would I describe that feeling? Out of this world.
Two sticks of rock.
I thought he was a rock star, but now I'm thinking he's an actor.
Some say life imitates art, but vice versa, I say, vice versa.
Tonight, I'm aiming to fly into the next round.
Watch me soar.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
These outfits are epic.
SONG: 'Loco In Acapulco'
0h, yeah!
# Going loco down in Acapulco
# If you stay too long
# Yes, you'll be going loco Down in Acapulco
# The magic down there ls so strong... #
Who is that?
# Feel the pressure Your back's against the wall
# Love is gaining on you Ancl you're just about to fall
# If you're afraid to love Afraid to take a chance
# You better hide your feelings Get out while you can
# Cos you'll be going loco Down in Acapulco... #
I think he's a singer. Yeah, I do, too.
# Yes, you'll be going loco Down in Acapulco
# The magic down there is so strong
# You can feel the voices bleeding Through those warm Latin nights
# Memories are lost and found
# Leaving broken hearts All over town
# Cos you'll be going loco Down in Acapulco
# If you stay too long... #
I love him! # Yes, you'll be going loco
# Down in Acapulco
# The magic down there is so strong
# Ancl you'll be Pulling out your hair
# Drowning in despair
# With a whole lot of nothing On your way to nowhere
# Your search for paradise Will come to an end
# When you realise What a fool you've been
# Cos you'll be going loco Down in Acapulco
# If you stay too long
# Yes, you'll be going loco Down in Acapulco
# The magic down there is so strong
# Yes, you'll be going loco Down in Acapulco
# If you stay too long
# Yes, you'll be going loco. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I love when he was like... "I killed it, I killed it."
Love that. Phoenix, everybody!
Look at that.
We're asking all of the important questions on The Masked Singer,
like, does a sun also need to wear sunglasses?
LAUGHTER I love that so much. Davina?
That was amazing. It was!
CHEERING
There he is, he's like, "Yep, I smashed it. What can I say?"
So, let's think about the clues.
I heard you say, "I tread the boards."
Now, this being The Masked Singer,
that meaning the theatre would be way too obvious.
So I was thinking, what other boards are there?
Ancl I thought of a diving board.
You know, I'm always thinking of reincarnation with Phoenix,
and somebody that was a diver and then went into the movies,
cos obviously, we saw the director's chair...
I know who you're gonna say. RITA: Who, who?
LAUGHTER
It's Jason Statham, people! JONATHAN LAUGHS
No, Jason Statham was a diver!
He dived for the British Commonwealth Games,
and there were two pieces of rock crossing each other.
Who starred in a film with The Rock?
Jason Statham. Thank you. That's true.
Come on, that was quite good.
APPLAUSE, LAUGHTER
Hey, guys, I've got another joke!
# Relight my fire. #
That's just a song. That's not a joke, that's a song.
LAUGHTER
It's a lovely song. Sounded beautiful.
OK, let me take it from here. OK, you go, you go.
Phoenix, I love, love, love you. You are just so, like, elegant.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
And then your voice. You have such a musicaltheatre tone,
so I went down the route of powers, and then you said fire,
and then I started thinking Game Of Thrones.
And somebody in the Game Of Thrones
who also has music in the family was Alfie Allen.
APPLAUSE Wow. He's definitely an actor.
Mo, what are you thinking? I've looked at the clues.
I see magical, someone who does magic.
I thought maybe it could be Stephen Mulhern?
Because, I don't know if you've noticed...
LAUGHTER Oh.
Wait, wait. LAUGHTER
Stephen! Come back, Stephen!
LAUGHTER
Jonathan. I think you're all wrong.
The last time he was out there, I was guessing David Tennant for him,
and I was getting a strong actor vibe, but you sing better than him.
I think you're a very good singer. But here's who I think it is.
He is a singer, I think The Rock is the title of this person's song,
one of his big hits.
The football clue, I know this person loves football,
and he had his own football pitch in his house.
I think it might be Robbie Williams.
APPLAUSE DAVINA: No.
I sang Relight My Fire. Yeah, you did sing Relight My Fire,
you didn't say Robbie. This always happens.
We'd recognise Robbie's voice. MO LAUGHS
OK, it's Clue Or False time.
Phoenix, can we hear your first clue, please?
"Sweet"? And your second clue, please?
Audience, do you think clue number one is true?
A few claps. A few.
Who thinks clue number two is true?
CHEERING Two. Two!
The time travel one. Interesting.
I think it's one of the Doctor Whos.
I don't know what one. All of them. Maybe that's it.
Maybe the costume is bigger inside than we think it is,
and it's all of the Doctor Whos.
LAUGHTER
I think it might still be David Tennant. Yeah.
APPLAUSE
You'll only see the fame beneath the flame when the mask comes off.
Give it up for Phoenix, everybody.
Love you, Phoenix. Phoenix is hard.
# All of the ashes sinking... #
Have the panel gone loco with these guesses?
Who do you think's behind the mask?
The panel are burning through names tonight,
but they aren't hot on my trail. Or are they?
Tonight, all of our acts have been performing songs
from different decades,
and next, to throw it back, like me at my sixth birthday party,
they've got wet pants. It's Otter.
# Say you will, say you won't
# Say you'll do what I don't
# Say you're true, say to me What are you like?
# ('est la vie. #
Last time, I threw a pool party. # I'll be ready... #
It was a real splash hit... # Oh, don't you fear... #
Una Healy from The Saturdays. Pauline McLynn.
Fiona Shaw. Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
...but the panel are otterly confused.
# I'm always here. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
What's happening, bro? Her accent must be fake.
You're back for more clues, 'ey?
Let me see what I've got for you.
Lost property. A witch's hat.
A witch's nose. B*witched.
Harry Potter?
Well, you might re-MEMBER me
from something a little bit medical-sounding.
SIREN WAILS
Policeman's hat. The Bill?
Is this a CV I see before me? Ho-ho-ho-ho!
Kim K. Maybe she had dinner with Kim K?
There's an emotion that I'm good at getting out of people,
even when I don't intend to... Some kind of comedian.
...and that can happen on any clay of the week.
Tonight, I'm going to do my otter best to impress.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
SONG: 'Reflection'
RITA GASPS Oh, it's from Mulan.
Oh, I love this song.
# Look at me
# I will never pass
# For a perfect bride
# Or a perfect daughter
# Can it be
# I'm not meant to play this part?
# Now I see
# That if I were truly
# To be myself
# I would break my family's heart
# Who is that girl I see... # CHEERING
# Staring straight back at me?
# Why is my reflection... # My reflection...
# Someone I don't know? #
APPLAUSE This is so good.
# Somehow, I cannot fight
# Who I am, though I've tried
# When will my reflection
# Show who I am insi-i-ide?... #
Oh! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# When will my reflection
# Show who I am inside?
# Inside
# lnsi-i-ide. #
OTTER VOCALISES
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Oh, that was so good, man.
Funny. That was so good.
Give it up for Otter, everyone!
Well clone. That was so good.
It's gonna be OK.
She can't get up. I don't think...
Want some help, Joel? Oh, yes, please, Mo. Come on up.
We'll get an otter hand each, a paw each.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I've got you. Come on in, come on in.
You've got your stone, you've got your stone.
Come on up. Come on up. Oh, God. Oh, God!
You dropped your stone. You dropped your stone.
This is... This is... Are you OK? OK?
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Here you go. Thank you. There's your stone.
MO LAUGHS
DAVINA LAUGHS
Rita, who is it? Oh, man. Otter's so funny.
I mean, you are so funny. I love ya.
The clues really threw me,
cos there was a lot of witch vibes out of that locker,
and then I immediately thought B*witched, like the band.
LAUGHTER
Yeah. And then I thought,
"No. This is an actor. This is, like, a comedic actress."
She played a witch in Harry Potter, she played Madam Hooch.
I actually think you might be Zoe Wanamaker.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Ooh. Yes.
Audience are enjoying that guess, Rita. Mo?
You do a lot of impressions, you're very funny.
There was a little reference to Kim K. Kim Kardashian.
I think the reference is they've done a character of that sort.
LAUGHTER
And this person... That's quite fake.
...is a hilarious comedian, actor.
It's Catherine Tate. Yeah.
That's Catherine Tate. Wow. 100%. Could be Catherine Tate.
And the other last clue I have? She's got red hair.
And on the snorkel, there's a bit of orange on there.
Yeah. There you go. That's good, Mo.
Thanks for coming, guys. I've solved it. That is good.
That is good. Davina, what are you thinking?
So, last time I had this idea, and I'm sticking with it, actually.
She's a well-seasoned actor, but she is really, really funny,
and that is Fiona Shaw.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Oh. I'm sticking with it.
She's hilarious. Yeah, I like it. Jonathan?
Here's the thing. The witches, I think, connects the phrase you said,
"Is this a CV I see before me?"
That's a play on "Is this a dagger I see before me?",
which is from Macbeth,
which has three witches in, very famously.
So, I think this is someone who's either been in Macbeth,
or performed in Shakespeare.
We saw you eating just chips for lunch.
Well, that's a light lunch.
This is one of the hosts of Light Lunch back in the day.
I've seen them in the West End. I think it's Mel Giedroyc.
That's who I think it is. You might be onto something there.
You guys have done very well with Otter today.
Do you want some more clues? Yes, please. OK.
How about a game of Clue Or False?
Otter, let's hear clue number one, please.
Mel's been in Rocky Horror. And clue number two?
Oh! That sounds uncomfortable.
It does, doesn't it? LAUGHTER
Good, OK. Audience, do you think it's clue number one?
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Who thinks clue number two is true?
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE STOPS
Not one person. Overwhelming.
The Rocky Horror Show,
I know Mel Giedroyc has been in The Rocky Horror Show. Oh!
APPLAUSE
We won't see who's inner the otter until the mask comes off.
Give it up for Otter, everybody! Yeah, Otter!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I love Otter. Definitely a comedy performer.
Is Otter's reflection clear to see?
Who do you think's behind the mask?
The panel think I'm a funny girl.
Am I bovvered, though?
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Coming up after the break, we're bringing back '70s knitwear.
See you in a few. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Who's that behind the mask? #
Welcome back to The Masked Singer Time Machine,
where we're putting the "mmm" in "space-time continuum".
We've got one last performance
before the studio audience vote for their favourite.
They don't do things by "scarves", it's Knitting.
OK, Knitting. Let's get it in.
MUSIC: 'Sta yin' Alive' by Bee Gees
# Ah, ha, ha, ha Sta yin' alive... #
# Lying in bed on my own... #
Last time, the panel loved my performance...
Could be Konnie Huq? Jane Horrocks. A] Odudu.
Samantha Barks. ..but they don't have a clue who I am!
# Lying in bed on my own. # CHEERING
MUSIC: 'L0vin' You' by Minnie Riperton
A knitted gift is something with a lot of thought.
It's a kind and generous thing, which is a lot like me, I hope.
# Loving you seems easy... # She seems very nice.
Such a cute person.
Learning to knit is about watching and copying,
and that's just what I did to learn my skill.
However, I'll give you a hint...
I've never been trained in something I'm very well-known for.
Broken-hearted.
# La la la Do do do do do... #
Number four is missing. OK, that's enough clues for now.
Let's bring this in and fade to black.
Oh, no, no, no! I'd like to keep the lights on, please.
# La la la la la la la... #
Tonight, I'm gonna "sew" you a real good time!
CHEERING
SONG: 'No More Tears'
# It's raining It's pouring
# My love life ls boring me to tears
# After all these years... #
Oh, my gosh, she's amazing. # No sunshine
# No moonlight
# No stardust No sign of romance
# And we won't waste
# Another...
# Te-eee-ar...
HOLDS NOTE
# If you've had enough
# Don't put up with his stuff Don't you do it
# Now, if you've had your fill Get the cheque, pay the bill
# You can do it
# Tell him to just get out Nothing left to talk about
# Pack his raincoat Show him out
#Just look him in the eye Ancl simply shout
# Enough is enough ls enough
# I can't go on I can't go on no more, no
# Enough is enough ls enough
# I want him out I want him out that door now... #
This is a big tune. # ls enough
# I can't go on I can't go on no more, no
# Enough is enough
# I want him out I want him out that door now
# Goodbye, mister
# Goodbye Goodbye, mister
# Goodbye, sugar
# ls enough! #
JONATHAN: Wow! MO: Yeah!
CHEERING
Give it up for Knitting, everybody! Go, Knitting!
Ah, you're so good!
It's enough! Oh, Knitting!
It's so comfy, but every now and again,
a needle just goes right into ya!
That was mind-blowing, Knitting! CHEERING
It was so good.
I mean, disco is where it's at, people.
This is, like, the greatest decade ever, and you absolutely brought it.
I wasn't expecting such a gutsy rendition,
because the last couple of times we've seen you,
has been sweetness... Mm-hm.
...and, like... Shyness.
...shyness and cuteness, and you're so confusing,
and it was interesting, you talked about watching and copying,
and I wondered if it was maybe an actor.
I did suddenly think it sounds a bit like Jodie Whittaker.
And, same sort of physique, same sort of size,
I know she can sing.
She sang a lovely Cold play song for Children In Need.
She is known as Doctor Who, but she's never trained as a doctor.
Ah! That's interesting. Isn't she a lovely person?
She is a lovely person, but that's not her.
All right, smart Alec! Who is it?
I'll tell you who I think it is.
The heart-shaped biscuit was a big clue,
and in the tent, there was bunting,
and the dancers had on their head, buttons.
"Bunting" and "button" both sound like the name of this person.
I think it's Emma Bunton. Ooh!
Mo, what are you thinking? That was so good that I lost myself.
I thought I was one of the dancers at one point.
I was like, "Enough is enough!"
I feel like this person could be maybe a singer-turned-actress.
I did see "morning" as well, and this lady,
she has a morning show, and she was a singer,
she was in Hear'Say. I think it could be Kym Marsh in there.
OK. JONATHAN: Good, good.
DAVINA: That is good. Rita?
I've no idea who you are.
I have literally not got a clue, and I know you love it!
You're lovin' every single minute of it!
You pointed out that the number four was missing from all the balls.
Thank you for reminding me, Jonathan.
There was no number four, and then I went down the morning route,
and I was thinking, "OK, how many panel of women are there
"in Loose Women?" There's four women,
and then I was like, "OK, somebody who had a singing career."
You obviously can sing, so I was thinking,
"OK, maybe it's jamelia." Oh, yeah. Yes.
Do you want a clue? Yes, please. Yes!
OK, let's play our last game of Clue Or False.
Knitting, can we hear your first clue, please?
OK...
I think that's a real accent.
OK, next clue.
OK. Let's ask the audience.
Audience, do you think clue number one is true?
CHEERING
OK. Shout if you think clue number two is true.
CHEERING
People think clue number one is true.
"Rosie". So, "Rosie" matters.
I think they played someone called Rosie.
I think we'll find it's a performer who can sing
who played a character called Rosie.
You think it's a "Rosie" one. OK, are the panel getting warmer?
We'll only know when the mask comes off.
Give it up for Knitting, everybody! I love Knitting.
MUSIC: 'Where's Me jumper?' by Sultans Of Ping FC
# Where's me jumper? Where's me jumper?
# Where's me jumper? Oh, no! #
The panel couldn't get enough is enough is enough of Knitting,
but who do you think is behind the mask?
My performance was gorgeous tonight,
but the panel's guesses are so-so. SHE GIGGLES
All five acts have performed, but this adventure is not over yet.
After the break, we still have tonight's sing-off,
but now, it's competition time,
and here's another chance to win the ultimate family fun package.
CHEERING
Welcome back to The Masked Singer.
Where has time gone?
This is incredible. I feel like I'm at the zoo and...
Knitting's here.
All of our characters have performed
and now, the studio audience must choose their favourites.
The two acts with the fewest votes will compete in a sing-off
and one of them will be unmasked.
While the audience vote, here is a reminder
of tonight's performances.
CHEERING # Take me to church
# I'll worship like a dog At the shrine of your lies
# I'll give you my sins So you can sharpen your knife... #
# Shout hallelujah
# Come on, get happy
# We're gonna be going To the promised land... #
# Going loco
# Down in Acapulco
# If you stay too long... #
# Somehow
# I cannot fight
#Who I am
# Though I've tried... #
# Enough is enough
# I can't go on
no more, no... #
CHEERING
The results are in.
I can reveal in no particular order
the masked singers going through...
6P6...
AUDIENCE SHOUTING
...Otter.
Yeah.
The second masked singer going through is...
...Phoenix.
Yay.
Otter can't get up.
Joining Phoenix and Otter...
is...
Jellyfish.
# Who's that behind the mask? #
That means Cat and Mouse
and Knitting, you will be performing again
in tonight's sing-off.
After your performances,
the panel will decide who will stay in the competition
and who will be unmasked. The rest of you, congratulations,
head off down the tunnel.
# Who are ya? Who are ya? Who are ya?
# Who's that behind the mask? #
Well done, Otter. Well done. You're amazing.
Stand right there. Ah, panel, what do you think?
MO: Wow! Oh, it's tough.
It was a really hard one tonight, I think, for the audience.
This is so, so disappointing to see Knitting and Cat and Mouse.
What are we gonna hear them sing, I wonder?
Performing first, it's Cat and Mouse.
Yay.
Good luck, guys.
CHEERING
SONG: 'There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back'
# I wanna follow where he goes
# I think about him
# And he knows it
# I want to let him take control
# Cos every time That he gets close, yeah
# He pulls me in enough To keep me guessing... #
Who are they? Tough.
# Maybe I should stop And start confessing
# Confessing, yeah
# Oh, I've been shaking
# I love it when you go crazy
# You take all my inhibitions
# Baby, there's nothing Holding me back
# You take me places You tear up my reputation
# Manipulate my decisions
# Baby, there's nothing Holding me back
# She says That she is never afraid... #
Ooh.
I feel like I know that voice.
# just picture everybody naked
# She doesn't really like to wait
# Not really into hesitation
# We lost our minds And we took it way too far
# I know we'd be all right
# I know we would be all right
# If you were by my side
# And we stumbled in the dark
# I know we'd be all right
# We would be all right
# Oh, I've been shaking I love it when you go crazy
# You take all my inhibitions
# Baby, there's nothing Holding me back
# I feel so free when you're with me
# Baby, there's nothing Holding me back. #
Ahhh. Ahhh.
Give it up for Cat and Mouse, everyone.
# Who are ya? Who are ya? #
So good.
# Who's that behind the mask? #
Performing next, it's Knitting.
Woohoo!
Go, Knitting.
SONG: 'Memory'
# Memory
# All alone in the moonlight
# I can smile at the old days
# I was beautiful then
# I remember
# The time I knew what happiness was
# Let the memory
# Live again
# Every street lamp Seems to beat... #
She's really amazing. She's great.
# A fatalistic warning
# A street lamp dies
# Another night is over
# Another day is dawning
# Touch me
# It's so easy to leave me
# All alone with the memory
# Of my days in the sun
# If you touch me
# You'll understand What happiness is
# Look
# A new day
# Has begun. #
HOLDS FINAL NOTE
CHEERING
Yeah.
Very good.
Give it up for Knitting, everyone.
Now, please welcome back to the stage
Cat and Mouse.
Very shortly, the panel will decide who is unmasked,
not before a timely game of
It's Not Me, It's You.
Each character is gonna give us a clue,
but it could be about them or their opponent.
Panel, get ready.
OK. Cat and Mouse,
let's hear your clue.
OK, who do you think that clue is about?
Cat and Mouse?
Yes, that makes you think they're possibly actors.
OK, it's Knitting's turn.
Can we hear your clue, please?
Do you think that's about Knitting, or do you think
that's about Cat and Mouse?
Any ideas, guys? No, I think that's about Knitting.
I think that's about Knitting.
I think Knitting is a performer and you have two halves in a show.
I think they might be a kind of performer.
I won't say the name yet,
because I'm still unsure, but I do think the clue is about Knitting.
Come on, Rita, tell us who think it is.
OK, fine, so this clue, she was in Cats
and that song's obviously a big song.
Yeah. Ancl she also sang that song.
Ancl cats play with a ball of wool, like knitting.
I actually think you might be Elaine Paige.
I think you're right.
Interesting. OK, so no more clues for yo use.
After the break,
you must decide which character is going to be unmasked.
Panel, get discussing.
Whose time is almost up? We'll find out in a few minutes.
CHEERING
# Who's that behind the mask? #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Welcome back to The Masked Singer.
Cat and Mouse and Knitting have performed in the sing-off,
but only one of them can go through
along with jellyfish, Phoenix and Otter.
It is decision time.
AUDIENCE: Ooh!
Jonathan, can you please tell us the name of the masked singer
the panel would like to save.
Well, we never like sending anyone home, of course.
Both performances were so much fun.
But I think we have to say that we're gonna save...
...Knitting.
# Who's that behind the mask? # CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Congratulations, Knitting. Give it up for Knitting, everybody.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Well done.
# Where's me jumper? Where's me jumper? #
Wow! Aw, Cat and Mouse.
Give it up for Cat and Mouse, everybody.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I've loved you guys.
Sadly, your time on The Masked Singer
has come to an end,
but before you reveal your true identity,
panel, who do you think it is? Mo?
I'm gonna go for Danny and Dani Dyer.
Father and daughter combination. APPLAUSE
Like that. Davina?
I've really got a feeling that none of us have guessed you.
You have played a blinder, both of you.
So I'm just gonna stay with Sarah Michelle Gellar
and Anthony Head.
Less of a clap for Davina, but that's OK. I don't blame you.
It's absolutely pants. I'm sorry. Rita?
I'm gonna stick with David Walliams and Amanda Holden. OK.
APPLAUSE
And finally, Jonathan?
Maisie Smith and Adam Woodyatt from EastEnders. Wow.
DAVINA: Oh, my God, I would love that! Ooh.
You might be right.
Could be right. That would be so good.
Ooh, well, there's only one way to find out.
Cat and Mouse, who's behind the mask?
Take it off...
ALL: Take it off. Take it off. Take it off.
Take it off! Take it off!
Take it off.
AUDIENCE: Take it off. Take it off.
Take it off. Who is it?
Take it off, take it off... Who is it?
# Who's that behind the mask? #
It's Martin and Shirlie Kemp!
JONATHAN: It's Shirlie and Martin!
It's Spandau Ballet's Martin Kemp and pop star wife Shirlie Kemp.
MO: Oh, my God!
That is the best EVER! I was so close again.
Oh, it's so annoying. This is my favourite-ever surprise.
That's my favourite.
You properly fooled them. No, you did.
I got pretty close, though, didn't I? I got pretty close there.
You did not get close, Jonathan. You did not get close.
I literally wrote it here, and I wrote Celebrity Gogglebox.
I'm SO annoyed. Does Roman know? Does he know?
Oh, your son! No, this is gonna embarrass him.
Oh, he's gonna love it!
Most people say they're doing it for their kids...
We're doing it just to embarrass them.
LAUGHTER
Guys, what did you think of some of the guesses? Way out!
You were so...
We were SO waiting for you to get us.
Especially when you said about EastEnders.
"Yeah, you're gonna have it." I thought you had it, Jonathan.
You know why? I thought you were both in EastEnders.
I went down the wrong thing. What's the 20 million thing?
That is the figure EastEnders used to get...
When the Mitchell brothers... Big one, it was a record number.
Who killed Phil? Yeah.
Was there any clues in your costumes at all?
Well, I had a book out recently with Pepsi,
called It's All In Black And White. Oh, that's a good one.
That's good. Oh, man!
You guys enjoyed yourselves?
So much. It's been amazing.
I've never clone anything so nerve-racking in my life.
Oh, you did so well. You sang beautifully, by the way.
Honestly, you've been such a joy,
and our first-ever duo on the Masked Singer, everybody.
CHEERING
That was the best reveal ever. You blew my mind!
LAUGHTER
Give it up for Martin and Shirlie Kemp, everyone.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
We have run out of time, but we'll back again in the future.
Well, next week, in fact.
Stay here on ITV for Ant and Dec's Limitless Win,
but now, performing one final time, unmasked at last,
it's Martin and Shirlie Kemp!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
