'Welcome to the sensational singing show...

'...with a twist.'

Welcome to The Masked Singer!

'Every week, your favourite celebrities perform in disguise.'

It's up to you to work out who they are,

cos we are clueless and it is driving us mad.

'While you and our panel try to guess who...'

Who is this? I literally am so confused.

'..is behind the mask.'

Neil Patrick Harris. Michael Ball.

CeeLo Green. Elton John.

CHUCKLING

'As each performer is eliminated, their mask is removed.'

'Alan Johnson!'

'It's Justin Hawkins from The Darkness!

'It's Teddy Sheringham, MBE.'

'Last week, Daisy left the competition.'

AUDIENCE CHANTS: Take it off!

It's Kelis!

'Tonight...

'It's a double elimination.

'As seven masked figures compete to remain anonymous.'

'Plus, joining the panel for one night only...'

She's a cheat! GIGGLING

Yes!

I genuinely think I've got this one. So excited.

'...for TVs wildest guessing game.'

It's gonna drive me bonkers.

# Who are ya? You? Who are ya? Who are ya?

# Who's that behind the mask? #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

'Ladies and gentlemen, your masked singers.'

MUSIC: 'High Hopes' by Panic At The Disco

# Had to have high, high hopes For a living

# Shooting for the stars When I couldn't make a killing

# Didn't have a dime But I always had a vision

# Always had high, high hopes

# Mama said fulfil the prophecy

# Be something greater Go make a legacy

# Manifest destiny Back in the days

# We wanted everything Wanted everything

# Mama said Burn your biographies

# Rewrite your history Light up your wildest dreams

# Museum victories, everyday

# We wanted everything Wanted everything

# Mama said don't give up It's a little complicated

# All tied up, no more love And I'd hate to see you waiting

# Had to have high, high hopes For a living

# Shooting for the stars When I couldn't make a killing

# Didn't have a dime But I always had a vision

# Always had high, high hopes. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Yeah!

Welcome to The Masked Singer!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Keep it going for our celebs, everybody.

Off you trot, you can head off now.

The case of the Masked Singer is far from closed.

And for the first time ever, two celebrities will be unmasked.

AUDIENCE: Ooh!

And to help you work out who's under the masks,

you need the world's finest brains.

And failing that, it's our panel!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# Who are you? Who are you? #

Come on, Joel.

# Who's that behind the mask? #

He knows everyone who's anyone, except when they're in masks,

it's Jonathan Ross! APPLAUSE

That's harsh and unfair, Joel.

Sorry, Jonathan.

She's worked with Cardi B, Liam Payne

and because of this show, a seven-foot hedgehog,

it's Rita Ora. I sure have!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Always going beyond the McCall of duty,

it's Davina McCall. Oh!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Now, Ken can't be with us again tonight,

he sent us this little message.

Sorry, guys, I can't be with you. I'm still here in Hollywood.

But I've sent you someone in my place,

living legend Sharon Osbourne.

She's amazing.

What?

Her daughter Kelly's coming too?

AUDIENCE GIGGLES

Two Osbornes, one town, that's just not fair.

That's great. I'm fired. I need a flight right now.

I'm getting a flight right now.

APPLAUSE

It's rock 'n' roll royalty, Sharon and Kelly Osbourne.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Yes! So exciting.

So excited. So great.

I know you've been watching,

but how do you think you'll be guessing our celebs?

It's really hard. I mean, look at Monster.

Can't move, can't do anything. It is really tough.

Mum was relying on the body language.

How good you think you'll be, Kelly, on picking up some clues?

Well, I get slightly obsessed and turn into a real detective.

I'm going full CSI on this.

Oh, I'm excited to see your input. 'Yeah.'

Good luck. Our panel, everybody.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

It's gonna be spicy tonight, I can feel in my bones.

Tonight, our studio audience

will vote for their favourite performance.

The celebrities with the least votes

will find themselves in tonight's bottom three.

And two of them will be unmasked at the end of the show.

And remember, there are clues everywhere.

especially in the VTs,

Parts of these films feature stunt doubles

as the real celebs are just too busy contemplating the meaning of life.

Up first, let's get some clues

from our fantastic Mrs - or Mr - Fox.

Last time, the panel thought I was giving them musical theatre vibes.

# All my life I've only been pretending... #

But were they right in their guesses?

Sophie Ellis-Bextor.

Denise Van Elton.

Liz from the Atomic Kitten.

It's Matt Lucas, ladies and gentlemen!

They'll have to wait to find out.

The competition is really heating up now.

But I've never been one to shy away from the spotlight.

Even as a cub, I just knew a wanted to perform.

So I cut my teeth in this business young.

OK, so she was a child star.

Now as a mama fox, I want to work hard for my cub.

So, she's got children.

Parenting can be tough, but it's also super rewarding.

Tonight, I'm going out there to party like I'm back at Coachella.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

All right, girls. And Jonathan. Here we go.

Oh, I love this song!

MUSIC: 'Firework' by Katy Perry

# Do you ever feel Like a plastic bag

# Drifting through the wind Wanting to start again

# Do you ever feel Feel so paper thin

# Like a house of cards One blow from caving in

# Do you ever feel Already buried deep

# Six feet under scream But no-one seems to hear a thing

# Do you know that there's Still a chance for you... #

SO musical theatre.

# You just gotta ignite the light

# And let it shine

# Just own the night

# Like the Fourth Of July

# Cos baby, you're a firework

# Come on show 'em what you're worth

# Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"

# As you shoot across the sky-y-y

# Boom, boom, boom

# Even brighter than the moon Moon, moon

# It's always been inside Of you, you, you

# And now it's time To let it through

# Cos baby, you're a firework... #

I'm so confused.

It's somebody's voice that I know.

# Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"

# As you shoot across the sky-y-y

# Baby you're a firework

# Come on, let your colours burst

# Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"

# You're gonna leave 'em Fallin' down, down, down. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Fox, everybody!

JUDGES HOWL

That was so great, Fox. That was so good.

Kelly? Amazing.

I have so many questions and I know that you can't talk to me,

but I feel like I know your voice.

I feel I have had a conversation with you before. Mm.

You're a definite West End Wendy, I know that.

I know I've seen you on the stage before.

It's gonna drive me bonkers, this one is.

Sharon, did you enjoy it? I think a really strong performance.

That song is really hard to sing. Yeah.

But I think you're definitely musical theatre.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Davina? The musical theatre side of things,

I was thinking possibly Louise Redknapp,

because she's been in Chicago. She's got an amazing voice.

She was in Eternal.

But it's the speaking voice, that foxy speaking voice, is one I know.

And I can't get Denise Van Elton out of my head.

APPLAUSE

The speaking voice is Denise, but I think Denise is taller.

Me and my mum also wrote down Billie Piper.

You said Billie Piper.

I only said Billie Piper because she was a young star.

I definitely think you're British. Definitely musical theatre.

You might be, like, on the radio a little bit,

cos you did sing on the radio, so maybe it's Sarah Fox!

If any of us knew who she was...? Oh, she's a radio DJ.

D'you mean Sara Cox, right? Oh, yes.

LAUGHTER

I got distracted because I'm looking at Fox.

So that's who I meant, yeah, Sara Cox.

So to get more clues, we've done a bit of snooping

in Fox's dressing room.

ALL: Oh! Here's what we found.

Love it!

Glad they didn't put a camera in my dressing room!

PINK PANTHER THEME

From ALW.

Break a leg is a theatrical term.

Definitely. Who's ALW?

ALW. Yes, I saw that.

Who? ALL: Andrew Lloyd Webber!

Correct. Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Has it helped us at all? Yes.

It's musical theatre.

Maybe she was in Cats or...

Has she been in Phantom, do you think, maybe?

Has she been in Starlight Express?

She looks like one of the trains out of Starlight Express.

APPLAUSE

Well, we'll only get to see that foxy face once they're unmasked.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's Fox.

# What does the fox say? #

She's so confident.

I said Lulu, but...

Lulu's got a stronger voice. And she's smaller.

# What does the Fox say? #

Have our panel been outfoxed? Who do you think is behind the mask?

Kelly claims she knows my speaking voice,

but have we ever had a conversation?

You tell me, Kelly.

We've still got six incredible performances to come tonight

and two, yes, two celebrities will be unmasked at the end of the show.

I am so excited!

# Who's that behind the mask? #

# Who's that behind the mask? #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Welcome back to The Masked Singer.

Forget keeping it real, this show is keeping it surreal.

There's still six performances to come tonight,

before not one, but two celebrities are unmasked

and you do not want to miss that.

Let's find out more about our next celeb.

They're a really good egg.

AUDIENCE GROANS It's Duck.

Here we go, let's listen to these new clues.

My last performance was full of grace

and I'm really getting into my stride now.

# Oh, Lord I was nothing

# I was blinded by your grace. #

I still think that it's Mel C.

June Sarpong. Claire Danes.

Diane Abbott is in the house right there.

The panel still don't know who I am.

CHUCKLING

When I was little, I always felt like the ugly duckling.

My siblings were beautiful,

but I always felt like the little girl

whose feathers wouldn't grow properly.

Is she a famous family girl?

Who's got good-looking brothers and sisters?

But I've learned to embrace the duck that I am.

And I've even been known to inspire

some of the biggest names in fashion.

One particular designer called me "a muse".

Maybe a catwalk person? She's an actress as well.

Some of my outfits have been known to put a few beaks out of joint.

Someone that has always made a statement.

Someone in fashion with, like, the T-shirts or some kind of slogan.

And as you've noticed for this competition so far,

I'm a duck who's serving looks, looks, looks, baby.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Oh, she's doing Titanic, isn't she?

Oh, she's got the necklace on. Oh, my God that's so good.

MUSIC: 'My Heart Will Go On' by Celine Dion

# Every night in my dreams

# I see you, I feel you

# That is how I know you go on

# Near, far

# Wherever you are

# I believe that the heart Does go on... #

Whose voice is that?

I think she's older. Me too.

# Once more

# You opened the door

# And you're here in my heart

# And my heart will go on and on

# You're here

# There's nothing I fear

# You are safe in my heart

# And my heart it goes on and on. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

ALL: Aah!

CHANTING: Duck, Duck, Duck...

Yes, Duck!

My heart will go on for you, Duck. Such an amazing performance.

I watched the movie. I wanna paint you like one of those French ducks!

LAUGHTER

That whole thing on the VT with them being a fashion girl

really started to give me some names.

You were saying that you never felt like you fitted in growing up.

So, Winnie Harlow.

Who is a really beautiful model.

It's tough to know from the clues, I've got to guess.

Go for a guess, Jonathan.

D'you think it could be Grace Jones? Is that too crazy?

I put that down. I did. Thank you, Kelly.

You've always been my favourite Osborne.

LAUGHTER

One thing I want to point out

is I think the costume might be deceiving and maybe it's someone

who is like a model underneath there.

Yeah. I think it's Poppy Delevigne.

Yes! One of the Delevignes.

Cara or Poppy.

I mean, that's a good shout.

I've looked back over my notes

and I've thought over the past few weeks and it is definitely not Mel C

and that voice didn't sound like Mel C. No.

So ugly duckling, tall...

There's lots of languages that this duck speaks.

German, Italian... and I was thinking Heidi Klum.

APPLAUSE

No, it's not Heidi Klum! It's Heidi Klum!

LAUGHTER

Well, we are desperate for clues.

Could finding out who their fans are be of any help?

OK, we'll get this.

PINK PANTHER MUSIC

Oh, what does that say? Tibet! Tibet?

You perform so beautifully. From the Dalai Lama.

Buddhism. Buddhism. What?

Ooh!

So, possibly performed for the Dalai Lama.

This person is obviously hugely successful.

She's had Happy Birthday sung to her by 850,000 people.

Performed in front of the Dalai Lama,

she speaks loads of languages

and she looks like she's really good fun.

Whoever it is, I don't care. We're going out. We're going out.

OK.

You'll only get a peek beneath the beak

when our Duck is unmasked.

Ladies and gentlemen, give up for Duck!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

It's a really tough one. It's a really tough one.

Who is Duck? We're gonna kick ourselves.

Our panel think one of these faces is beneath the feathers,

but who do you think it is?

Oh, my gosh. I think they're getting closer.

But still well off! CHUCKLING

Time to learn more about our next celeb.

You've heard of horse whisperers, right?

Well, I'm the unicorn whisperer.

WHISPERS: It's Unicorn.

Let's see the clues.

My last performance left the panel divided.

# Everybody's crazy bout A sharp-dressed man... #

Zac Efron. John Barrowman.

Jake Shears. Matthew Morrison from Glee?

And I'm not about to make it any easier for them.

I've always liked playing dress-up.

Give me any excuse to throw on something fun, and I'll do it.

Showy, exotic... Yes!

Without dressing up, life would be a real drag.

Oh, it's a drag act.

He was in Kinky Boots.

A friend of mine once closed down an entire fashion store

and bought me the whole collection.

It doesn't have to be store-bought, though,

I'll happily whip up something from nothing.

Speaking of nothing, Ozzy Osbourne once saw me

in nothing but my birthday suit.

WHISTLING

Tonight, I'm not horsing around.

WHINNIES

I'm here to win.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Let's go, Unicorn!

MUSIC: 'Girls And Boys' by Blur

# Street's like a jungle... #

Oh, yes!

# So call the police

# Following the herd

# Down to Greece

# On holiday

# Love in the nineties

# Is paranoid... #

He's definitely a drag act.

# On sunny beaches

# Take your chances

# Looking for girls who are boys

# Who like boys to be girls

# Who do boys like they're girls

# Who do girls like they're boys

# Always should be someone

# You really love

# Avoiding all work... #

Oh, sexy!

# Cos there's none available

# Like battery thinkers

# Count your thoughts

# On one, two, three, four Five fingers

# Girls who are boys Who like boys to be girls

# Who do boys like they're girls Who do girls like they're boys

# Always should be someone You really

# Love. #

Boys!

APPLAUSE

Yes, Unicorn!

Unicorn, everybody!

I like this guy.

It was so good.

Wasn't that amazing?

I just wanted to say, that for The Osbournes tonight,

you managed to pull out your best performance so far.

Amazing. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Have you got any names?

Ozzy has seen you naked...

Jack Osborne is not here tonight, ladies and gentlemen...

Ozzy would have seen him naked a number of times,

I think it's Jack Osbourne.

Are you here to see your mum and sister?

That would be a dream come true for me!

But I really do think I know who you are.

AUDIENCE: Oooh!

I really do think I know who you are.

Kelly, who is it?

I think it's Jake Shears, from The Scissor Sisters.

That name has come up before!

JONATHAN: Davina, you did say that, didn't you? Yeah.

Because I know that my dad has seen him naked!

Oh, really? DAVINA: Has he?!

Was it Elton's... Erm...?

Stag party. Stag party, yes.

It was at Elton's stag party!

I know! That is the coolest thing I have ever heard.

Guys, can I just... I think it might be a drag act.

It might not be someone who's a pop star,

cos the Kinky Boots.

Could it be in there,

could it be Courtney Act, who won Celebrity Big Brother.

There's a chance it could be Courtney. That's a good shout.

I'm gonna stick with Matthew Morrison.

Cos there was a lot of Glee references. Yes.

Well, I hope Matthew wasn't naked in front of my husband!

LAUGHTER

Who hasn't been naked in front of Ozzy, come on!

I know...

OK, it's fair to say we need a few more clues

to work out who Unicorn is.

So, we captured this unguarded moment in makeup.

OK.

Are you on Social?

Yeah, do you know, Cher once contacted me on Twitter,

to get my phone number.

Jake Shears. That's definitely...

I mean, that could totally happen to Jake.

I don't know. It's so hard, there's so many different clues.

I have to say, that's a really tidy body under there.

Are you pointing at me, or the Unicorn?

LAUGHTER

You'll only see the head beneath the horn

once Unicorn is unmasked.

Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Unicorn!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Whoo!

I love Unicorn, look.

Trot all the way out, look, watch.

Our panel think one of this lot

are behind the trot.

But who do you think it is?

The panel threw out a few more names tonight,

but they were very funny and made me laugh.

We've still got four performances to go

before our studio audience votes for their favourite.

# Who's that behind the mask? #

# Who's that behind the mask? #

Welcome back to The Masked Singer.

Go on, Joel.

Tonight, two of our celebrities

will be revealing their true identities.

It's double the fun, but it's also double the pressure.

We just need to try and work out who they are first.

Right, let's get some clues about our next celeb.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# This girl is on fire! #

In my last performance, I felt like I made a great impression.

Queen Bee, you continue that, you're gonna win this competition.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I love being behind the mask.

I think it is Nicola Roberts.

Nadine Coyle. Jade from Little Mix.

Having a public image can be difficult.

"Poob-lic." "Poob-lic." Yeah, she's northern.

Nowadays, everyone has an opinion and it's not always complimentary.

So, someone who's dealt with harsh opinions, like online trolling.

It can be tough to deal with as a young girl.

I'd do silly things to try and change my appearance.

Now I'm smarter and wiser, I can laugh it off.

A woman like me now has the power to let young bees know

it's OK to look however you want.

We're all different.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

MUSIC: 'Heaven' By Bryan Adams

# Oh, I was thinking about All our younger years

# There was only you and me

# We were young and wild And free... #

I love that voice.

# Now, nothing can take you Away from me

# We've been down that road before

# But that's over now

# You keep me coming back For more... #

DAVINA AND KELLY: Oh!

# And love is all that I need

# And I found it there In your heart... #

Whoo!

# It isn't too hard to see

# We're in heaven

MUSIC GETS FASTER Oh!

# Now, nothing can change What you mean to me

# There's lots that I could say

# But just hold me now

# Cos our love Will light the way... #

Sing it!

# And now our dreams are coming true

# Through the good times and the bad

# I'll be standing there by you... #

# Oh, oh-oh, oh! #

Yes, Bee!

# Oh, oh-oh

# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

# Your love is all that I need

# And I found it there In your heart

# It isn't too hard to see

# We're in heaven! #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Yes!

Queen Bee, everybody!

I felt like I was right in the club.

I was having a wonderful time, dancing.

Davina, what did you think?

I love the way Queen Bee's confidence is growing,

week by week. You've said, in the clues, that you're shy.

I feel like you're really coming out of your shell

and it's beautiful to watch.

There was a Little Mix reference in there.

Jade would make sense. RITA: Yes, definitely.

Or Jesy.

There was talk about trolls.

Kelly, what did you think?

Your voice is absolutely incredible. Yeah.

You have a beautiful, beautiful voice.

I think it's Mutya, I don't know why.

Ah, from The Sugababes, good guess.

It could be almost any one of these young singers,

in those bands, who get the chance to be out there, on their own.

I also have here, Paloma Faith

APPLAUSE

Rita, have you got any ideas?

Going back to my first week, maybe you're actually royalty.

Like, one of the princesses, like Princess Beatrice.

LAUGHTER

I'm dead serious, guys! You don't know!

Rita, what if it is actually The Queen?

LAUGHTER

Imagine that, and then we had that face on our stamps from now on.

LAUGHTER

Would you guys like another clue?

TOGETHER: Yes!

So, we've even rifled through Queen Bee's bins

to get some clues. This is what we found.

OK, what is there?

What does that say? Cumin, cayenne pepper...

It says things, sort of, cumin, honey, water...

Room temperature...

It's a singer who needs those things for her voice.

OK, you're a pop star, definitely. Maybe, it could be Ellie Goulding.

APPLAUSE

She knows the Royal family, kind of. Yes, she does.

Doesn't she? Yeah, finally! Yay!

APPLAUSE

Well, you'll only find out the Bee beneath the bonnet

when their mask comes off.

Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Queen Bee!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

She's SO good. We love the Bee.

So, have our panel guessed it right?

Could one of these honeys

be behind the mask?

The panel have said a few names that are getting pretty close,

so it's just about trying to throw them off track

and I'm just loving it.

Roses are red, this creature's blue

and cos you need it, here's a clue,

or a few, it's Monster.

# Come on, everybody!

# Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me? #

In my last performance

Donny Osmond really threw them a curveball...

That's not a man, that's a woman.

He went from man to woman and back again.

Angela Bassett. It's CeeLo Green.

Sheila Ferguson. Rag N Bone Man.

At the end of the day,

we're all human. MONSTER LAUGHS

This Monster has a sense of humour,

I even dipped a paw or two in comedy before.

Comedy! He's funny.

Deep beneath this fur coat is a big old blue funny ball.

Definitely American. He's got a Southern twang to his voice.

Did you ever hear that one about the celebrity behind the furry mask?

MUSIC STOPS

BIRDS CAW

Tonight, I'm gonna make you smile.

I just making people happy.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

MUSIC: 'Human' By Rag N Bone Man

# Maybe I'm foolish Maybe I'm blind

# Think I see through this And see what's behind

# Got no way to prove it Cos I'm blind

# But I'm only human after all

# I'm only human after all Don't put the blame on me

# Don't put the blame on me... #

This sounds so soulful. Yeah.

# Look in the mirror

# What do you see

# Do you see any clearer Or are you deceived... #

But almost like theatre.

# In what you believe

# I'm only human after all

# I'm only human after all Don't put the blame on me... #

That is CeeLo! He is American.

Is it CeeLo, do you think?

You don't look like you're sure.

# Some people got the real problems

# Some people out of luck

# Some people think That I can solve them

# Lord, heavens above

# I'm only human after all

# I'm only human after all Don't put the blame on me

# Don't put the blame on me

# I'm no prophet or Messiah

# Should look somewhere higher... #

Wow, listen to that. Whoo!

# I'm only human after all

# I'm only human after all Don't put the blame on me

# Don't put the blame on me. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Boom, boom, boom!

Monster, everybody!

Monster, so great.

Jonathan, what did you think?

Amazing performance, wasn't that a great performance?

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

We were all trying to listen to the voice, trying to get it.

Someone who I hadn't thought of before,

I think it might be will.i.am in there.

What do you think about that, eh?

One of you said Rag N Bone Man, last time. I did.

But then you sang Rag N Bone Man, so it's like,

you're mocking me for saying that.

LAUGHTER

I said this from the first moment I heard him.

His tone, it's so distinctive,

he's one of my favourite artists ever,

of all time, it's CeeLo Green, 100%!

Rita's confident!

Kelly, you're not so sure?

There's a huge part of me that wants to say CeeLo

and I was thinking about the comedy reference and Anthony Anderson.

APPLAUSE

I've been convinced it's CeeLo all along.

But the last two songs, he's sung quite deep songs

and I know him for those amazing high notes that he can hit.

The deep voice, the stage craft,

what if it's the Welsh Wonder, Tom Jones, ladies and gentlemen?

I mean, it could be.

He's laughing, he knows I've got him!

I've got you, haven't I?! LAUGHTER

We've done some spying, to get some more clues about Monster

and we saw this backstage.

'Ready for you on stage, Monster.'

Watch that, there.

Kermit T Frog...

AUDIENCE: Oooh!

CeeLo's dressed up as a frog. Has he? When?

Really? I think so, in music videos...

What do you mean, you can't say it and then go, "I think so."

LAUGHTER

Who's sweltering inside The Monster?

We'll only know when they're unmasked. Ladies and gentlemen,

give it up for Monster!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

See you, CeeLo! It's not CeeLo!

It's definitely... It's not CeeLo.

So, have the panel worked out

who's behind the mask,

or are they in for a Monster surprise?

The panel are still confused at just who's behind this mask.

Well, I hope I don't have to return to human form any time soon.

MONSTER LAUGHS

There's only two fabulous performances left

before we unmask not one, but two of our celebrities.

# Who's that behind the mask? #

# Who's that behind the mask? #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Welcome back to The Masked Singer!

Let's get some clues about our next celeb.

They are great for keeping cheese and pineapple on.

It's Hedgehog!

In my last performance,

I showed the panel I have another string to my bow.

# So, Sally can wait. #

He may be Alfie Boe. Jason Manford.

Shane Ritchie.

Although Donny was convinced we'd met before.

I am friends with Michael Ball.

I know it's him!

Music and singing was very important in our house growing up.

My Nana taught all her children, and there was a lot of them,

to play instruments.

They created a big hedgehog band.

A family band...

Yeah, this one's hard.

We'd play all the pubs and clubs.

With all us folk together, we were like the Hedgehog Von Trapps.

I feel like that's a fake accent. I feel he's a Scouser.

Anyway, let's see what's coming up on tonight's show.

# And I would do anything for love

# I would do anything for love

# But I won't do that

# No, no I won't do that. #

Come on! Come on!

# And some days it don't come easy

# And some days it don't come hard

# Some days it don't come at all

# And these are the days That never end

# And some nights You're breathing fire... #

Very dramatic. So dramatic.

# Some night you're carved in ice

# Some nights you're like nothing

# I've ever seen before Or will again

# As long as the planets are turning

# As long as the stars Are burning... #

He's trained. Really trained.

# As long as dreams are coming true You'd better believe it

# But I would do anything for love

# And be there till the final act

# I would do anything for love

# But I won't do that

# No, no, no I won't do that

# I would do anything for love

# Anything you've been dreaming of

# But I just won't do that

# I would do anything for love

# Anything you've been dreaming of

# But I just won't do that

# I would do anything for love

# But I won't do that

# Oh, no, no, I won't do that. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

JONATHAN: Who is that?

I don't recognise the voice.

Hedgehog, everybody!

So great. Davina, so theatrical!

So theatrical and you were talking about being in a family

where you all went out and you performed a lot

and possibly that is where you learnt how to sing.

Then I thought maybe a comedian,

cos he had talked about performing eight times a week.

So, I thought Michael McIntyre.

APPLAUSE

You walk around like a comedian.

LAUGHTER

You know how comedians walk! They walk around, like...

JONATHAN: You mean, just... That's it!

LAUGHTER

We've had some other clues.

One was that he died at 8:30 every night.

He was definitely on Broadway. Someone who's been

in a musical theatre production, like maybe Sweeney Todd.

We were guessing Jason Manford, cos we know he can sing.

APPLAUSE

But the singing didn't sound like Jason to me.

I also think it could be, like, a John Bishop.

APPLAUSE

Oh.

I think it's Phillip Schofield.

He's very theatrical and he's done musicals before.

I need to hide my notes from my mum

because she's just reading what I've written! No!

Excuse me!

She's a cheat!

LAUGHTER

OK, to help with our guesses, we've been spying on Hedgehog backstage.

Maybe their post-show plans

will give you clues to their real identity.

A post-show drink would be lovely, my dear chap.

Mine's an Irish Stout.

Who's in Westlife?

I'm not talking to you anymore.

Who's the guy that used to be in Westlife, but left and went away?

Brian. Brian McFadden. Yes, there you go.

APPLAUSE

Maybe it is one of the guys from an Irish boyband,

like Shane Lynch, maybe?

APPLAUSE

Well, you'll only ever find out who our well-dressed mammal is

when they're unmasked. Ladies and gentlemen, it's Hedgehog!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

LAUGHTER

What do you think?

Are our celebrity detectives

any closer to solving this masked mystery?

Are the panel close to guessing who I am?

Oh, I wouldn't like to give the game away at this point.

Let's dig a little deeper into the identity of our final celeb.

Armed, but glamourous.

It's Octopus.

# Diamonds are forever. #

Throughout this show, the panel have always questioned

whether I was really American, or not.

She sounds American!

Charlotte Church. Myleene Klass.

Nicole Scherzinger.

I thought she was English.

SHE SINGS AND HOLDS AND NOTE

Wow!

All I have to say about that is,

I've always told the truth.

But I'm also here to play the game,

have fun and keep my mask on. SHE GIGGLES

Maybe it's my British sense of humour coming through.

I don't think she's American.

That is Welsh.

My job takes me to many places,

even back in time.

A time-traveller, like Doctor Who.

Or Doctor Who's assistant.

Octopus isn't the only language I've been known to use.

You might hear me wax lyrical in Russian, Italian, German,

Spanish, Welsh, Latin, or Mandarin.

Sings in different languages,

when she does opera. Yes!

Tonight, I'm going to go Gaga. SHE GIGGLES

DAVINA: That was a joint effort.

That was not a joint effort, that was you reading my book!

# If I could

# I would have said goodbye

# I would have said what I wanted to

# Maybe even cried for you

# If I knew

# It would be the last time...

Sounds quite stagey, the voice.

# I would have broke my heart in two

# Trying to save a part of you

# Don't wanna give my heart away

# To another stranger

# Or let another day begin

# Won't even let the sunlight in

# No, I'll never love

# Again

# I don't want to know this feeling

# Unless it's you and me

Opera. Opera. Opera. Yeah.

# I don't want to waste a moment

# Ooh

# Don't want to feel another touch

# Don't want to start another fire

# Don't want to know another kiss

# No other name falling off my lips

# Don't want to give my heart away

# To another stranger

# Or let another day begin

# Won't even let the sunlight in

# No, I'll never love

# Again. #

CHEERING

Octopus, everybody!

CHEERING

I love it. Wait. Let me do one adjustment.

There we go. Happy again.

Sharon.

Beautiful, beautiful voice.

It sounds so beautifully trained.

Um...

I have a theory. Stop it.

The whole time she's been looking at my notes

and copying them.

I didn't say who it was yet, cos I haven't looked at your book.

Even though you put on an American accident,

I heard a Welsh accent in the background.

Welsh, opera, Charlotte Church.

APPLAUSE

Davina, do you agree?

I didn't really hear the Welsh, but I did hear

that they spoke different languages.

So, when you were saying about the opera,

that would make sense that they might sing...

in different languages.

And there was mention of the Dales.

Dales. Emmerdale.

Somebody like Patsy Kensit.

She was a singer back in the day. She was in Eighth Wonder.

No, not Patsy Kensit.

Jonathan? I think the Dales is very much a strong clue

I'm guessing, and I genuinely think I've got this one.

Go on. Sheree Murphy, ladies and gentlemen.

APPLAUSE

We know her from Emmerdale, but she was also in Neighbours.

Oh, Jason Donovan was one of the clues.

And she was in Neighbours. It's Sheree Murphy. Come on.

It's Sheree Murphy.

That is good. Do you guys want another clue?

ALL: Yes! Well, we're not above

snooping around the dressing rooms here.

And this is what we saw of Octopus.

PINK PANTHER THEME

Food's here, Octopus.

Is it vegan? Ha-ha-ha.

So, vegan. So they're vegan.

It could be Heather Mills.

Probably the most famous vegan in the UK.

Well, you'll only find out when the mask comes off.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's Octopus! CHEERING

She does have a lovely voice.

Beautiful voice.

Like a Disney-type voice.

Do you agree with our panel?

Could one of these famous faces

be behind the mask of our eight-armed friend?

Have they guessed me?

I think it's all in the fun of the game.

And some of the names they mentioned are laugh-a-bubble. Hee-hee!

APPLAUSE

That's it. All seven celebrities have now performed.

After the break, our studio audience will vote

and our first celebrity will be unmasked.

It's all too much!

# Who's that behind the mask? #

# Who's that behind the mask? #

CHEERING

Welcome back to The Masked Singer.

All seven of tonight's masked celebrities

have now performed and it's time for our studio audience

to vote for their favourite performance of the night.

The celebrities with the least votes will find themselves

in our bottom three, and two of them will be unmasked tonight.

While our studio audience vote, here is a reminder

of tonight's performances for you guys at home.

# Baby, you're a firework

# Come on let your colours burst. #

# You're here

# Nothing I fear

# Always should be Someone you really

# Love. #

# In heaven! #

# I'm only human after all

# Don't put the blame on me #

# I would do anything for love

# Anything you've been dreaming of

# No, I'll never love

# Again. #

APPLAUSE

The results are in.

I can reveal that in no particular order

the first four masked singers

going through are...

AUDIENCE SHOUTING NAMES

Oh, my gosh.

AUDIENCE CHANTING NAMES

Monster!

CHEERING

Hedgehog!

CHEERING

Queen Bee. Yes! Yes!

And Octopus!

Yes! Yay!

Well done, guys, you can head off.

# Who are you? Who are you?

# Who are you? Who's that behind the mask? #

Fox, Duck and Unicorn,

only one of you will make it through to the next show.

And I can reveal that the celebrity who received

the fewest votes from our studio audience

and will be removing their mask right now...

Oh, my gosh.

..is...

AUDIENCE SHOUTING

Oh, God, I can't bear it.

AUDIENCE: Fox! Fox! Fox!

Duck!

Oh, no! Oh!

Duck!

I'm gutted.

Which means Fox and Unicorn,

your mask can stay on for now,

but one of you will be revealing your identity

at the end of the show.

Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Unicorn and Fox.

CHEERING

# Who are you? Who are you?

# Who are you? Who's that behind the mask?

Aww.

So, Duck, I'm sorry,

but your time on The Masked Singer has come to an end

and you will now be removing your mask.

But first, panel,

who do you think is behind the mask?

I have to give it to you, Duck, even though you're leaving,

you really kept us absolutely guessing in the dark.

Right up until this last minute.

APPLAUSE

Really tough. Who are you going for? Give me a name.

It was modelly, the modelly thing.

I'm gonna go Heidi Klum.

You're going Heidi Klum. Sharon?

I think it's Poppy Delevingne.

Kelly, who are you going to go for?

I know that this is probably really way off,

but I think it could be Sinitta.

You were saying fashion and everything.

OK. Rita?

Ah, Gosh.

I'm still gonna go with Winnie Harlow.

I still can't wait to see who you are. I can't wait.

I know it's selfish, but I'm sort of really excited, so...

I genuinely think you are the hardest one to guess.

I'm gonna put a name out there. I'm gonna say Jodie Kidd.

There's the modelling side of it. Maybe.

But I'm pretty sure I'm wrong, unfortunately.

I don't think any of you are close either.

Let's see if any of you are right.

It's time to find out the identity of our masked singer.

So, Duck, who's behind the mask?

CHANTING: Take it off! Take it off!

ALL CHANTING

Take it off! Take it off!

Who are you?

Take it off! Come on!

Take it off! Take it off! Take it off! Take it off!

Take it off! Take it off!

# Who's that behind the mask? #

Oh, my God!

It's Britpop legend,

Skin from Skunk Anansie.

CHEERING

Kelly, I toured with you!

Oh, my God, I was so...

I can't believe I didn't guess that.

Kelly, you've been on tour with Skin?

I have. I actually cannot believe

I did not get that now.

My mind is blown.

I cannot believe...

THEY ALL SHOUT

You guys all know each other?

Yes! This is mental.

I was so scared, cos I thought Kelly and Sharon were here today,

"Oh, no, they're gonna guess me! They're gonna guess me!"

I'm so glad I got you, Davina, as well.

You completely got me.

Hi, Rita. I'm sorry I didn't get you.

I'm an idiot. It's the fashion thing.

Because you used to model for Alexander McQueen.

Yeah. Oh, my gosh.

You've gigged with Bowie, right? Is that right?

Yes. That was a clue.

How has this experience been for you?

I wanted to do something completely different

and do something over the top.

And be like completely someone that I wouldn't normally be.

And it's been really challenging and really hard.

And just major fun as well.

The thing that we loved about you was the character

that you put into that.

The way you connected with us and the audience was amazing.

Thank you, guys.

CHEERING

It's been so fun having you here.

I can't believe we've been hanging out. Aww.

Singing for us one last time, unmasked at last,

ladies and gentlemen, it's Skin.

CHEERING

Ah, Skin.

# Every night in my dreams

# I see you

# I feel you

# That is how I know you

# Go on

CHEERING

# Near

# Far

# Wherever you are

# I believe that

# The heart does go on

SHE LAUGHS

# Once more

# You open the door

# And you're here in my heart

# And my heart will go on

# You're here

# Nothing I fear

# And you're here in my heart

# My heart will

# Go on and

# On! #

Yes! CHEERING

After the break, another famous face will be revealed.

You will not want to miss it.

CHEERING

# Who's that behind the mask? #

# Who's that behind the mask? #

CHEERING

Welcome back.

Before the break, we found out that Duck was in fact

Skin from Skunk Anansie.

But tonight is a double reveal

and this time the fate of Fox and Unicorn

is in the hands of our panel.

This is terrible.

Panel, this is crunch time.

Can you please discuss amongst yourselves

and decide which one celebrity

you would like to save.

THEY WHISPER

Whichever masked singer the panel decide to save

will go through to the next show.

The other will be unmasked.

OK, all right.

RITA SIGHS

This is really difficult.

You both are so good

at what you've done on this whole show.

You both really committed to your characters.

You both did such an amazing job.

Have the panel made a decision?

Yes.

The masked singer we would like to see again...

..is...

AUDIENCE: Fox! Fox!

..Fox!

# Who's that behind the mask? #

CHEERING

Wow.

Fox, your mask is staying firmly on.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's Fox.

# Who are you? Who are you?

# Who are you? Who's that behind the mask?

So, Unicorn is our second celebrity of the night to be unmasked.

But first, panel, who do you think is behind the mask?

Without question, Jake Shears.

I can't even think of anyone else

who's been naked in front of my dad.

LAUGHTER

Sharon, who do you think it is? Yes.

Oh, I think it's Jake.

Two for Jake Shears now.

OK, Rita?

I'm gonna agree with the Osbournes over there

and I'm gonna say Jake Shears.

Jake shears for Rita.

Davina, who are you going to go for?

It's Jake Shears.

That's four for Jake Shears.

I'm gonna say Courtney Act.

Oh, wow. It's gonna be sad to see you go, Unicorn,

but let's see if any of you are right.

It's time to find out the identity of our masked singer.

Unicorn, who is behind the mask?

ALL CHANT: Take it off! Take it off!

Take it off! Take it off! Take it off!

Take it off! Take it off!

Take it off! Take it off! Take it off!

Who are you? Take it off! Take it off!

Take it off! Take it off!

Take it off! Take it off!

Take it off! Take it off!

CHEERING AND SHRIEKING

It's Jake Shears from the Scissor Sisters!

CHEERING

I love you!

I love you! So many of you got it right.

Jake! Hi.

I'm having the time of my life.

I've been having so much fun.

I mean, look at... I can't...

I can't keep my arms...

It's gonna take you days before you walk properly again.

I'm gonna be walking around like this.

Why, Jake, did you decide to do this show in the first place?

I mean, it's just right up my alley.

It was a no-brainer for me. I was so excited.

We loved seeing you perform every night.

It's just been like an absolute blast.

And Ozzy has seen you naked? Where did he see you naked?

I was at Elton's stag do and I was on a pole...

Oh. It was fabulous.

We had a good time. It was great fun.

Thank you for everything and being so sweet.

It's been the best. I've had the best time.

So fantastic. That is it for tonight.

What a show.

Next week, The Masked Singer continues,

but before we go, singing us out,

unmasked at last,

ladies and gentlemen, it's Jake Shears.

CHEERING

Go, Unicorn!

# Street's like a jungle

# So call the police

# Following the herd

# Down to Greece

# On holiday, love in the nineties

# Is paranoid

# On sunny beaches

# Take your chances

# We are looking for Girls who are boys

# Who like boys to be girls Who do boys

# Like they are girls Who do girls like they're boys

# Always should be someone you really

# Love

# Boys! #

CHEERING

Thank you!

It's the semi final.

And another double elimination.

Here we go. Singing to stay secret is...

..returns!

Hit it, Ken!

Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa!
