Just watched on catchup. This really has to be the most surreal programme ever but it’s strangely addictive! Although it’s only watchable with the fast forward button - managed to get through 90 minutes of programme in 20

I maintain that Monster is Cee Lo Green. Daisy seems certain to be Kelis, as she trained in France as a chef. Fox has got to be Denise Van Outen - you can hear the Essex accent and one of her clues that might or might not be true was that her body has won awards, in 1999 DVO won Rear of the Year!

I think they should start turfing out two at a time now because my interest is not going to sustained for that much longer.

I can only watch the performances and the reveal at the end. Apart from padding it out way too much, what is the point of the panel?? Their guesses on who it might be are wildly ridiculous. Also, does anything happen if they guess it right? Great costumes but it's an odd format.

Well this is trash TV, but I'm absolutely loving it, despite the padding. So much so, that I've binge watched both of the US seasons of it. I'm not very good at guessing who anyone is, it's only when someone else mentions a name that I can hear it's them, so I'm convinced that the hedgehog is Jason Manford, Fox is DVO, Queen Bee is Nicola Roberts and Unicorn is Jake Shears but no idea on the others. I don't think we'll be seeing singers of the same calibre that the US version has attracted, I'd love it if future seasons had bigger names.
If the UK version follows the US format, it will be three left for the final and as there are only four episodes left and eight singers, the number of unmaskings should increase in a couple of weeks.

I normally hate this trashy light entertainment but I’ve been really enjoying this. It’s preposterous and it’s really good fun.
I think the lineup, if Jake, Kelis, Nicola, Denise etc are under there, is really quite strong!

I enjoyed it this week.
So Monster is definitely Cee Lo Green, he wrote and produced ‘Don’t Cha’. I can’t believe Unicorn is Chris Colfer from Glee, didn’t see that one coming at all (he’s a big best selling kids fantasy author in the US now). I loved Glee.
Octopus had totally thrown me but now they mentioned the dales it’s got to be the actress who played Tricia Dingle. She was in Emmerdale, has done the jungle and the Jason Donovan clue reminds me she actually did an episode of Neighbours last year in scenes with one of Paul Robinson’s sons (which would make him Scott’s Robinson’s nephew).
Duck should have gone. The woman can’t sing!

I agree that the clues for Unicorn definitely make it seem like Chris Colfer, I was less convinced though by the singing as I don’t think that sounds like him?

I know, the voice doesn’t sound like him much, but Kurt was always quite falsetto which they could be avoiding here. I just listened back to when they did Babooshka and I think the chorus sounds a lot more ‘Kurt’. Unless it’s all a red herring and nothing to do with Glee!

I agree they are definitely making it seem like someone from Glee and he fits the clues more than anyone else. I know Neil Patrick Harris was mentioned and I think magic was given as a clue, which he’s known for but I can’t imagine him being on this show. The second guessing is what’s keeping me hooked!

Sarah Jessica Parker guest starred in an episode or two of Glee, and sang Let's Have a Kiki (or whatever it's called) by Scissor Sisters, so I'm still thinking it's Jake Shears. He also co-wrote All the Lovers for Kylie, which would fit with the "written for famous people" clue.

Duck is definitely Skin from skunk anansie as it sounds identical and the clues fit. I dont think unicorn is jake shears although some of the dance moves a reminiscent of him.. Chris Colfer is a good shout. I had a thought that Octopus could be Malandra Burrows, she can sing and she also went in the Jungle and was covered in fish guts as soon as she went in.

A few episodes in and I am now rather enjoying it: despite all it’s shameless tackyness and despite the host. Refreshing to have Donny Osmond on the panel instead of the intensely pointless irritating one: well, aside from Ross.
I thought at one stage the Dales one is Verity Rushworth who played whatsername in Emmerdale: a good singer. The comment about “truth” in one of her VTs swayed me. But maybe too obvious or a red herring. But I change my mind as the wind changes direction.
Amused by the clue/red herring with Hedgehog in his VT: a cricket ball on the table with Michael written over it. Toying with us with misdirection!

I was thinking Jake Shears as Unicorn because he sang 'sharp dressed man' (sharp like shears, ahhhh) but it didn't seem to fit with the Glee comment. Now confessor has explained the SJP/Kiki connection I'm convinced. It seems like the right body shape for him as well. I hadn't thought about Skin for Duck, that's good detective work dazzerlump! Jason Manford tweeted a picture implying he was eating Hedgehog crisps during broadcast, the cheeky scamp. Michael Ball refused to confirm or deny it was him when he presented The One Show last week.

Reading twitter and what I don't think Hedgehog is either Michael Ball or Alfie Boe... def not Alfie having watched a few youtube videos of him singing it really doesn't sound like him. It doesn't sound that much like Michael Ball. I haven't heard Rufus hound but then clues don't really match. I have found Jason Manford singing if anything its the closest. Thats my bet. Even if anyone is or not they are not going to say it.
I still think Fox is Denise Van Outen even if its the only one I get right 😂
The show is cheesy but fun to watch I mean it taps into that mystery thing and everyone is talking about it. Even those who hate it still will talk about it if twiter is anything to go by.

I think Octopus is either Katherine Jenkins or Charlotte Church. Fox is definitely Denise Van Outen. Queen Bee could be Jade or Jesse from Little Mix. Not too sure about the rest.

Shame that Unicorn went last night as he was one of my favourites. I agree with others that Fox is almost definitely Denise Van Outen. Not sure about Hedgehog as they keep trying to misdirect with the clues! I’m guessing Jason Manford or Rufus Hound at the moment.

I should really hate this show, but it's weirdly watchable, though the only one I've managed to actually guess was Skin (just from the voice rather than the clues.)
Of the ones who are left I think the Fox probably is Denise Van Outen, especially with the foot resting on the radio this week. I'm taking the Octopus' mention of going back in time for a job to be a reference to Charlotte Church showing up in a Heatbeat Christmas special (how do I remember that when I forget what I watched last week?). Not sure about the others. Does Jason Manford have the range of the Hedgehog?
I was wondering how they keep the identites secret, so it makes sense that I just read that they do the build up to the reveal with the audience then boot them out for the actual unmasking.
