Jeong is likely very recognisable to the under-35 audience from his role in The Hangover films. He was also part of the cast of the brilliant American sitcom Community.
I didn't watch this though, perhaps I'll give it a chance at some point if I get bored.

Hedgehog = Michael Ball surely? Ooh good guess... he sounds like he might be Welsh though, I was thinking it might be Michael Sheen. Definitely Barrowman as Unicorn, I clocked that one as soon he pranced on! Patsy Palmer has a surprisingly good singing voice. During the many adverts for this show I was spitting feathers how such a ridiculous format can make prime time television. How wrong I was, it’s completely bonkers and I love it! |

Bee is surely Nicola Roberts from Girls Aloud? I’ve just caught up on this show since reading about it here and I think your absolutely right. I’ve thought for a long time Nicola was the most under rated member of Girls Aloud. If it is her then I thought she did a good job of that Sia song. |

Strangely I quite enjoyed this! Oddly addictive viewing. My first thought for the Hedgehog was Rhydian Roberts - probably totally wrong though. I also thought Barrowman for the Unicorn but also thought of Louis Spence.

They have succeeded in getting people talking - so they must be doing something right

Oh my word what was that! I surprised/scared myself into watching the full episode on catch up just now, with a mixture of being horrified and compelled. It felt like I had swallowed a gallon of budget cider, eaten a kilo of pick and mix and was unable to crawl to the remote to turn it off.
Host was beyond dreadful and Ken Jeong got very tiresome quickly. But Davina rocked the budget Claudia Winkleman look effortlessly and anything with Rita Ora gets my attention.
I am not sure if enjoyed it was the right feeling I had, but I might be tuning in to the next episode. I think.

I thought of Rhydian too, with just the singing, but now I've watched the VT I think oxfordsimon is probably right with Jason Manford. I wondered if the dying at 8.30 thing referred to his time in Sweeney Todd? |

That's all very good but what I really want to know is what you thought of the new Mary Berry cooking show? |

Yeah I'm addicted to this and yet it's utter trash. Some of them have properly got me thinking. Have to say I agree with the Nicola Roberts prediction for Queen Bee. Hedgehog is annoying me but I'm sort of leaning towards Rhydian too, but there's also something Luke Evans in the voice. Unicorn I really don't think is Barrowman - the voice just doesn't sound like him (although he could be masking ;-) it). I'm leaning towards someone like Mika for that to be honest.

Just watching this on rerun and it is strangely compelling.
I've seen a suggestion of Charlotte Church for Queen Bee and I'd agree.

Well, it was really very surreal watching it as a viewer and not a contestant, but I enjoyed some of the tweaks made and there're a really nice bunch of home cooks. Mind you, our cohort in series one was nice. Well, apart from.....no, my lips are sealed. I even found myself shouting at the tv a couple of times: “no, use the pasta machine like she says”....... |

That was what clinched it for me Pirelli dies before the interval and Manford has a tendency to put on a voice to sing which would match the attempt to sound more 'operatic' as the Hedgehog |

After reading the comments on here thought I would give it a go on catch up. Got half way through the duck with Madonna bra and dancers with beaks and decided life was too short to continue with it.
It was like through the keyhole with Julian Clarys panto costumes.
Plus I can't stand Divina McCall.
So it's a no from me.

I just watched the introductions and the singing on catch-up!
