Part of me really wants to go.
Another part of me really wants to get as far away as possible.

Part of me really wants to go. Another part of me really wants to get as far away as possible. That's pretty much what I said!

The tour is a good money making idea but if spoilers get out there it will totally ruin it unless they change contrestants/characters over

Has anyone else been watching the latest series? I am completely stumped this year! Yes I’m watching and agree - there’s no obvious ones that stand out to me (unlike Lenny Henry last year for example). A couple of my unlikely guesses are: Mushroom - Aisling Bea Lionfish - Craig Revell Horwood Rock Hopper - Kimberley Wyatt Not confident in any of those! The clues have been too generic so far and the programmes are far too long but enjoyable fluff nonetheless!

I got Gloria Hunniford straight away.
Not sure on the others but I have a couple of guesses -
Lionfish - Will Young Traffic cone - Russell Watson

Good guesses though, you've got me wondering about Lionfish particularly. I've got a suspicion that Traffic Cone might be an older snooker player, perhaps the shape they referred to might be a triangle rather than a cone. I was a bit disappointed with some of the clue reveals for {Spoiler - click to view}Gloria Hunniford... the James Bond reference because she's interviewed almost every actor to play James Bond!?! I'm very intrigued about Robo-Bunny, that must surely be two separate voices. I believe some of the international versions of the show have had multiple persons representing a single character before now, I think the music trio Hanson were featured a while back in the US version. Still, it's such a ridiculous show it continues to be a real tonic to watch. I like how they make an effort with the backing dancers to do a decent routine each time.

Agree Lionfish could be Craig Revel Horwood - or Jason Gardiner. [or Louis Spence?]

CRH did the Masked Dancer so would he do both ?
Which character gave a clue saying they were the first winner or first one. I know it was said about who SeaLion was but didn't someone else say that?
If it was Traffic Cone could that be Paul Potts?
David Seaman could be Doughnut according to some people and size looks about right heightwise.
Poodle looks likely to be some sort of Camp Icon. Paul O'Grady for his love of dogs has been mentioned and Rocketman was totally his teenage era plus he'd have the legs to wear the outfit. Although his sharp scouse accent was certainly very well disguised if it is him.

I'm not sure, but I think the Lionfish is Will Young, going on the Cabaret clue and just from the tone of the voice. Whoever it is, they gave a lovely performance of 'Nessun Dorma' I'm 99.99999% sure I know who RoboBunny is {Spoiler - click to view} Mark from Westlife, I was a fan back in the day and would his voice anywhere. He has a great falsetto. Plus, he doesn't like to/can't dance so being in the robot suit means he can't even sway. I have no idea about any of the rest. It's a nice light entertainment show, with a great reveal at the end. Nice to watch with a tipple or two.

Still, it's such a ridiculous show it continues to be a real tonic to watch. I like how they make an effort with the backing dancers to do a decent routine each time. I tend to agree there must be two voices in Robo bunny, one very mediocre and one quite a bit better. I've watched all the seasons of the US version and they do have pairs or trios etc but I think they usually have separate costumes. On one series they had 3 Russian dolls I think and two snow owls on another. I thought that Bagpipes sounded exactly like Greyson Perry but I think he's a slightly obscure person in terms of the types of celebrities they get on the show. On the American version, 99% of the people can sing, even if they're not actually singers and it's kind of annoying that the panel say things like 'wow, you can really sing' about someone who can only just carry a tune. But I still really enjoy the programme and am always intrigued by who everyone is!

In the US version they had Hanson and David Foster and Katherine McPhee as joint contestants. They have had a lot of singers on their version plus a few sports stars and other names.

I’m quite surprised Jonathan went straight in with his correct guess of Gloria Hunniford when it was blatantly Lenny Henry last year and week after week none of them said him.
I love the Robo-Bunny costume, by far the best one this year. I wondered if it was Chris O’Dowd, from the Irish accent and the CtrlAltDelete clue, but the guess on the last page makes more sense. (Though I’d have though he’d be a stronger singer in his normal voice as well as in the falsetto.)

Bagpipes sounds exactly like Dermot O Leary but the clues don't really add up.

It worked though, no one guessed it was her! Sorry, that was my mistake! But yeah, she made a mess of disguising her voice and it sounded weird. I guess it’s difficult when you have one of the most recognisable voices in the business!

I suspect that they only show some of the panel’s guesses. So perhaps Lenny Henry was named earlier last year, but they edited it to keep us guessing…

Firework is Sheridan Smith
Traffic Cone is Rick Astley

I completely stand by my guesses of who Robobunny and Lionfish are , having heard them sing again

Post by justfran on Jan 8, 2022 22:09:54 GMT
I’m still intrigued/ have no idea about a few of them!
Think the panel should have saved Lionfish over Firework tonight as he was the better singer.
I agree with a previous poster that Robobunny could be Mark from Westlife. Sarah Lancashire perhaps for Mushroom.

Robobunny is awesome (voice and costume). If it is Mark Freewilly from Westlife I’d be happy with that.

It's a shame two great singers had such distinctive voices that they had to hide them and this resulted in them sounding terrible and being voted off. I also agree that Lionfish was far, far better than firework even with the disguised voice.
Robobunny for the win! But I have no idea who any of them are...
