OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYS
Welcome to the jungle.
MUSIC: 'Gimme Some Lovin' by The Spencer Davis Group
TV's most outrageous singing show is back,
but this time with one big twist.
Four jungle superstars are going down under the mask.
Koala,
Witchetty grub,
Cockroach
and Kangaroo.
# And I'm so glad we made it
# So glad we made it... # Tonight...
# Gimme some lovin'... #
...all four will be unmasked.
Only one can be crowned King or Queen Of The Masked jungle.
Oh, my God!
This is The Masked Singer... Who are you?
...I'm A Celebrity special.
# Who are ya? Who are ya?
# Who are ya? Who's that behind the mask? #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
SONG: 'Down Under'
# Travelling in a fried-out Kombi
# On a hippie trail Head full of zombie
# I met a strange lady She made me nervous
# She took me in Ancl made me breakfast
# Ancl she said
# Do you come from A land down under?
# Where women glow Ancl men plunder?
# Can't you hear, Can't you hear the thunder?
# You better run You better take cover. #
Yes!
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome your host...
Joel Dommett.
Love that! Wow, the jungle is massive!
G'day, everybody!
I'm Joel Dommett
and welcome to The Masked Singer: I'm A Celebrity special!
That is right, for one night only, we are going down under,
because in just 90 minutes,
Ant and Dec will be back in the jungle with a brand-new series.
Tonight, four ex-camp mates will take to the stage in disguise
as we try to...
guess them out of he-ee-re!
Always wanted to do that!
By the end of the show,
all four jungle jammers will have been unmasked
and we'll crown our Masked
I'm A Celebrity King or Queen Of The jungle Singer.
Ooh, that's a bit of a mouthful,
more of a mouthful than a Bushtucker Trial.
And it looks like we've already won some stars.
It's our panel, everybody!
Yes!
I love this! Yeah?
Do you like what I've done with the place? I love it.
Huh-ah! Ay! oh. yeah!
You look like you're part of the furniture. I know!
Look, I'm just like a floating head. Wow. Who said that? Who said that?
Where is he? "Who said that?" Completely camouflaged.
Did someone say something? It's me, it's me!
But can I also say, like, my brain is just going, "Pow!"
Yeah. Because how many names can we get through tonight?
I mean, there's so many people over the 20 years of the...
Must be hundreds. ..I'm A Celeb.
Like, I don't even know what is gonna happen tonight, honestly.
I love the fact you said you don't really know
what's gonna happen tonight, because, even on the regular show,
you don't really know what's going on.
No, I don't, I don't.
Mo, how'd you think you'd do in a Bushtucker Trial?
Me, in a Bushtucker Trial?
Do you think I could be sitting there eating kangaroo...
erm... Yeah?
I couldn't, I couldn't do it. I can't do it.
It's not as bad as you think, actually. Yeah?
Yeah, I ate a goat's penis.
No, Joel! This was this morning for breakfast, wasn't it?
That was this morning for breakfast, yes, it was!
Yes, Joel! Look where you are now.
OK, get ready to rumble in the jungle.
Good luck, it's our panel, everybody.
Tonight, four masked critters will battle it out
in two head-to-heads
and the characters with the fewest votes will be unmasked immediately.
The winners will then sing again for jungle glory.
Are you ready to play along at home?
Time to get those spidey senses tingling,
it's our first Face Off, and it's Witchetty Grub versus Koala.
They're the invertebrate I'd hate on my plate, mate,
it's Witchetty Grub!
SONG: 'jungle Boogie'
# jungle boogie... #
I love this costume. Yeah! Whoo!
#jungle boogie Shake it around... #
I love that.
They made tonight's costume with their "bear" hands, it's Koala!
SONG: 'Tiny Dancer'
# Hold me closer, tiny dancer... #
So tall.
# Count the headlights On the highway... #
Oh, this hug is going on way longer than I anticipated.
Oh, God! So heavy! OK, OK.
That was great! Hi! Unbelievable.
Remember, there are clues everywhere and the biggest clue of all,
our masked singers have all been camp mates
in the I'm A Celebrity jungle.
And pay close attention to tonight's clue packages,
parts of which feature stunt doubles
or, as they call them in Oz, "stunny dubbos".
First up, accept no grub-stitute, it's Witchetty Grub.
OK. OK, here we go.
SONG: 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight'
Chomp chomp, it's me, Witchetty Grub,
everyone's favourite jungle treat.
Is it a man or a woman? Definitely a woman.
Strictly speaking, I am tasty.
Been on Strictly?
Just ask all the admirers who fancied this little snack.
# In the jungle...#
I've an eye for the talent myself. THEY GIGGLE
I don't know if that accent's real, though.
SONG: 'Food, Glorious Food'
# Food, glorious food... #
Cutting carrots. Carrots, celery... Food. A chef?
Campmates might come and go, but you'll always find me near.
Coach. Life coach?
History will tell you,
you'll win if you use words and numbers with me.
# Food! Once again
# Food! Fabulous
# Food! Glorious food... #
Oh, that is a sailor's hat. The Navy?
The real trial will be working out who I am.
It's a real conundrum.
Conundrum. That's Countdown.
Tonight, I'm serving up a real treat for y'all. Grub's up!
# Glorious food. #
That's like me in bed.
SONG: 'Moving On Up'
Oh, I love this song! Oh, yeah, party! Come on!
# You clone me wrong Your time is up
# You took a sip... # Latin America?
# From the Devil's cup
# You broke my heart There's no way back
# Move right outta here, baby
# Go and pack your bag!
# just who do you think you are?
# Stop actin' like some kind of star
# just who do you think you are?
# Take it like a man, baby If that's what you got
# Moving on up... # I must know who this is.
# Moving on out Moving on up
# Nothing can stop me
# Moving on up Moving on out
# It's time to break free
# Nothing can stop me... #
Yeah!
Whoo!
# Moving on up Moving on out
# Moving on up Nothing can stop me
# Moving on up Moving on out
# It's time to break free Nothing can stop me
# Moving
# Nothing can stop me. #
JONATHAN: Yeah!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Witchetty Grub, everybody!
So good, Witchetty Grub. I loved that.
That was so good. Oh... Right, Jonathan?
Witchetty, we all enjoyed that. It was a great start to the show.
You can sing, you can dance, you were great fun.
Big pants must be a clue,
and are they up there because you wear big pants,
or are they up there cos you're doing your laundry?
Because Kim Woodburn was in the jungle
and she's famous for cleaning.
Rita, what do you think? Gosh, I think you I know your voice.
Your voice sounds so familiar.
It's super husky, it's very natural to my ears.
I'm like, "Who are you? What do you do?"
They're in the VT.
When you said "conundrum", I thought Carol Vorderman.
Carol Vorderman there. Davina, what're you thinking?
They said "strictly speaking"... Yeah.
...so is it someone that was on Strictly?
Somebody like Lisa Snowdon, cos they talked about judging
and she was on Britain's Next Top Model.
Yeah. So, yeah, Lisa Snowdon.
Lisa Snowdon's a good guess, I like that. Yeah.
Mo Gilligan? I know who that is.
Mo, you always do this and you never know who they are.
I really... Tell us!
OK, so, I'm seeing the pants as a clue, cos there's an X,
so it's maybe someone that left,
because none of them have an X on there,
and the way that they're moving, I think that's Gemma Collins.
The GC. I think that is Gemma Collins. Or...
PHONE RINGS Oh! What's that?
I'm gonna go get the phone. Yeah, get the phone.
Hello? G'day, mate!
It's Bushbaby here.
In a bit, I'll be reading out two statements.
One of them is a clue to help you solve who is under the mask.
Suss out the correct statement, and you win a star for camp.
Is it...
OK, so we've got two clues. Which one do you think is true?
I think B, because there was a love heart on a... on a pebble.
You're gonna go for B, aphrodisiac? B! B! B, Aphrodisiac!
Does everyone agree, yeah, B, aphrodisiac? Yeah, B.
What do you think? B, aphrodisiac.
Bonza, mate! That's correct! Yes!
DIALLING TONE
TRUMPET FAN FARE Whoa!
I've got a star!
Gonna put it in the little... in the little pouch. OK.
There's a camp mate behind the mask, but "witchetty" is it?
We'll only find out when the mask comes off.
Give it up for Witchetty Grub!
# jungle boogie
--- -#'
Oh, I love... I love this show!
I love it!
#jungle boogie Shake it around... #
Have the panel mag-got it right, or are they sluggish in their thinking?
Who do you think's behind the mask?
What a tasty performance.
I hope I grub up all the votes and munch my way to the final.
After the dunny break, it's Koala,
and we have our first audience vote. In a while, crocodile!
# Who's that behind the mask? #
# Who are ya? Who's that behind the mask? #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Welcome back to The Masked Singer: I'm A Celebrity Special!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Yeah!
We've blended together two boozer shows
to bring you the ultimate TV mashup.
Fingers crossed for Loose Women On Ice.
LAUGHTER
Up next, though, it's Koala! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
MUSIC: 'Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy' by Tchaikovsky
Hello, it's me, Koala.
I was not expecting that. Definitely a guy.
Koala starts with a K.
Do you know what else starts with a K? Kylie!
Do you like my dress? I wore it especially for you.
People tell me I look very, very pretty.
A sheriff. Maybe someone who's in charge of something.
Ballet, darling, is a show,
and I rose to fame on a reality show.
It's also a real sport.
You have to train with frequency... X Factor?
...if you want to take part in the national championships,
like me!
In terms of direction, I'm up there...
with the best of them.
SONG: 'Live While We're Young'
Direction. Maybe he's a driver.
I'm going to try my very best in this competition...
Three baby koalas. Maybe three kids.
...but I have to pace myself and remember it's a ballet.
Not a very, very long run.
Tonight, I hope you be-leaf me
when I say I'll be showing off
my top koala-ty vocals!
# And live while we're young. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
SONG: 'Could It Be Magic'
# Spirits move me
# Every time I'm near you... #
Go on!
# Whirling like a cyclone
# In my mind... #
They're not a singer!
Guess what?
# You're my life line
# Angel of my lifetime... #
Lifetime!
# Answer to all answers
# I can find
# Baby I want you
# Come
into my arms
# Let me feel the wonder
# Of all of you
# Could it be magic now?
# Now
# Now, and hold on fast... #
Whoo! Sing it!
# Could this be the magic
# At last? #
Oh!
# Magic
# Baby take me
# High upon a hillside... #
What is that? No idea. Why did that happen? No idea.
# Could it be magic now? #
Whoa!
# Now
, and hold on fast... #
MO LAUGHS
# Could this be the magic
# At last?
# Could it be magic now? #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Give it up for Koala, everybody!
MO LAUGHS Man, that was so fun!
I just felt like I was on the weirdest hen do ever!
LAUGHTER
Koala is living his best life right now on that stage!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Your height is throwing me off. I'm like, "You're really tall."
LAUGHTER
It's somebody, I thought, maybe, who's really good with their body.
I know he trains on his Instagram, did Dancing On Ice,
Jake Quickenden.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
JONATHAN: Good guess. Yeah.
Mo. This isn't any koala.
This is a koala who's had a makeover.
This guy was part of a show called 60 Minute Makeover.
Nick Knowles. That's who I think you are.
Nick Knowles. Oh, Nick is tall.
I think the ballet outfit might be a clue
cos we've had some dancers in the jungle.
Jordan Banjo was in the jungle, ladies and gentlemen...
DAVINA: Oh! ..and he is about that tall.
LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
But my guess is, from the world of politics,
I think it's Christine Hamilton. LAUGHTER
What?
She was in the jungle, she's about that tall.
Christine, come back!
Come back, Christine!
Davina, who do you think it is?
I heard K for Kylie,
so who am I thinking? Jason.
He was in the jungle, yeah. Three baby koalas.
Jason Donovan has got three children.
AUDIENCE: Ooh!
APPLAUSE, PHONE RINGS
Ah! It's the phone!
Hello? G'day, mate.
Same as before, it's up to you lot
to decide which statement is a clue.
Here we go. OK.
IS it, A,
in a recent survey,
most Australians think travelling by bus
is a real drag?
Or, B,
according to science, koalas are so cute,
they make your heart race?
I think it's A.
Yeah? Because Jason was in Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert.
They travel led in a big bus. I think it's A.
So travelling by bus would make the clue work,
I think you're right.
Yep. Yep. Yep. You're gonna go... We'll go with A, please.
Ah, that's wrong, you dingo! Oh, no! Ah!
So, maybe this person's like a heart-throb of some sort.
Are you koala-fied to guess who it is?
We'll only find out when the mask comes off.
Give it up for Koala, everyone!
MUSIC: 'Tiny Dancer' by Elton john
Well done, Koala! So good! # Hold me closer, tiny dancer... #
Have the panel got their bearings with their Koala guesses?
Who do you think is behind the mask?
It really is a jungle out there tonight!
I had everyone up on their feet
and boogieing along with me.
Koala is in the competition!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
So, studio audience, who do you want to sing again?
Witchetty Grub or Koala?
The winner will stay in the competition,
and the other will be unmasked immediately.
AUDIENCE: Ooh!
Please welcome back Witchetty Grub and Koala!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Who are ya? Who are ya?
# Who are ya? Who's that behind the mask? #
Studio audience, remember,
you are voting for your favourite masked singer.
Vote...
HOW.
The results are in.
AUDIENCE: Ooh! I can reveal...
the masked singer with the most votes
and keeping their mask firmly on...

# Who are ya? Who are ya? # Well done, Witchetty Grub.

Oh, Witchetty Grub. Give it up for Witchetty Grub.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Love you, Witchetty Grub! You're so great!
That means, Witchetty Grub, you will be unmasked right...
after the break.
ALL: Aw! Cheerio for now!
I'm sorry.
# Who are ya? Who's that behind the mask? #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Welcome back to Masked Singer: I'm A Celebrity Special.
Before the break,
our studio audience voted Koala the winner of our first Face Off,
meaning it's time
for Witchetty Grub's true identity to be revealed.
But first, panel, who do you think it is?
I'm going to start with you, Jonathan.
I think it's someone who found love in the jungle.
I think it might be Katie Price in there.
Oh! AUDIENCE CHEER
Rita, who do you think it is?
I am gonna stick with Carol Vorderman. Carol Vorderman.
Davina?
I mean, love hearts? Everybody loves Lisa Snowdon. OK.

Take it off! Take it off! Take it off!
Take it off! Take it off!
Who is it? Who are you?
Take it off! Take it off!
It's Alison Hammond! # Who's that behind the mask? #
It's national treasure, Alison Hammond!
Yes!
So annoying!
We should have got you! Oh, my God.
Reality TV show, duh! LAUGHTER
It made sense, cos you were in Celebrity MasterChef,
and that's the chopping board. Exactly.
And she was a coach on Celebrity Coach Trip. Exactly.
Well, not a coach.
I wasn't the coach! LAUGHTER
You weren't THE coach. I was just ON Celebrity Coach Trip.
It's been a long day.
I wasn't the coach! She'd be like...
Get in the back. LAUGHTER
Not many people notice that I was in I'm A Celebrity,
cos I went in halfway through,
so people forget that I was actually on the show.
You can sing. She can really sing, can't she? That was really good.
A million per cent, I'm not a singer, do you know what I mean?
I've been with you before, you've just sung for no reason.
Oh, do you know what?
The hardest thing for me has been not being able to laugh.
Yes. Yeah, cos you have a very distinctive laugh.
Did you choose to be a witchetty grub?
Erm, no. This... LAUGHTER
Witchetty Grub chose me.
Yeah. Oh, making me laugh.
Give it up for Alison Hammond! Aw, man. Yeah!
Aw, thank you.
Singing one last time, unmasked at last,
Alison Hammond, everybody!
Sing it, Alison! Thank you.
SONG: 'Movin' On Up'
# You've clone me wrong... #

# Hey! #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Yes!
Oh!
Give it up for Alison Hammond, everybody!
JONATHAN CHEERS Wonderful stuff.
Head off down the tunnel, Alison. Go on, Alison!
Who will be next? It's time for our second head-to-head,
it's Cockroach versus Kangaroo. OK.
APPLAUSE
They're simply the pest. It's Cockroach!
# The power of the gladiators. # CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Very cool. They mean business.
# The gladiator. # Thanks a lot. That's really cool.
And everybody raise the ro-o-oof, it's Kangaroo!
# Mac Dad'll make you jump, jump! # G'day, mate!
Yes, Kangaroo. Right there. Hop onto the spot.
RITA: I love it. Yeah, it's so good.
First up, they've been working hard with their vocal roach,
it's Cockroach, everybody! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
All hail me...
IN AUSTRALIAN ACCENT: ..Cockroach.
# We are the warriors... #
I'm not believing this accent. Not Australian, no. Definitely not.
They call me gladiator. AUDIENCE CHEERS
The only thing I fear is a very large boot.
Fears a boot, of like, leaving? Getting kicked off of something?
Imperial Palace. Someone who's done the Royal Variety Performance?
As a warrior, you'll often find me
in the arenas made for great battles.
I'm such a natural conqueror, I've even beaten myself!
He's definitely strong.
I've been compared to one of the world's greatest sporting legends.
A lot of sporting clues. I think it is a sports person.
I'm thinking it might not be.
Tonight, this termite is gonna terminate the competition.
COCKROACH LAUGHS
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
SONG: 'Go The Distance'
# I have often dreamed... #
Oh, wow. # Of a far-off place
# Where a hero's welcome... #
RITA GASPS # Will be waiting for me... #
That's a singer.
# Where the crowds will cheer
# When they see my face
# Ancl a voice keeps saying
# This is where I'm meant to be... #
CHEERING # I'll be there someday
# I can go the distance
# I will find my way
# if I can be strong
# I know every mile
# Will be worth my while
# When I go the distance
# I'll be right where I belo-o-ong
APPLAUSE
# Down an unknown road... #
I feel like I'm in a Disney film.
# To embrace my fate... # Hercules.
# It might take a lifetime
# But somehow, I'll see it through
# Like a shooting star... # KANGAROO CHEERS
# I will go the distance
# I will search the world
# I will face it, Zeus
# I don't care how far
# I can go the distance
# Will I find my hero's welcome
# Waiting in... #
HE VOCALISES, AUDIENCE CHEERS
# Your a-a-arms? #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Give it up for Cockroach, everybody!
That was really, really good.
Oh, my Lord, the voice is so beautiful.
Davina, who you saying?
You said "often find me in arenas made for great battles",
so then I thought maybe it's somebody who's sung in an arena,
but the one that really confused me
was when it said "I've beaten myself",
and then I heard your voice.
This person was very, very strong and brave,
and you are a Roman gladiator there,
and this guy overcame a brain tumour,
and I think it's Russell Watson. Oh, yeah.
Good guess. Good guess. Wow.
Mo Gilligan? That was absolutely breathtaking.
That was so good.
But I think the clue could be looking at me in my face.
You're a Roman soldier
and someone that was on I'm A Celeb was Roman Kemp.
But that was absolutely fantastic, I loved that.
Yeah. What are you thinking, Rita?
The voice for me completely threw me off.
I did not expect you to sing like that.
But then, the rugby thing really took me.
Could it be James Haskell? OK. Yeah.
APPLAUSE
I know exactly who this is. Who is it, Jonathan Ross?
I'll tell you, I've heard this person sing.
The clue was, did you see there were nuts and bolts there? Mm.
What do you use to knock down a nut and bolt sometimes? Hammer.
What's another word for hammer? A mallet.
It's Timmy Mallet, ladies and gentlemen!
LAUGHTER
We got that together, Mo. You can have half of that.
LAUGHTER I don't want that one.
You're on your own. It's the phone! PHONE RINGS
Time for another clue. Oh.
Hello? G'day, mate. Here's the clues.
Is it A, cockroach sightings are so popular down under,
you'll often hear locals scream "I want one more"?
Or B, did you know,
cockroaches are mysteriously tasty treats?
You can purchase them in a six-pack. OK.
It's gotta be B, come on. B.
Peter Andre sang Mysterious Girl, he was famous for his six-pack,
it's gotta be Peter Andre, it's gotta be B.
Gonna go for B? We'll go B, please.
Wrong. Oh, no! DIAL TONE
I told you it was A. Jonathan! LAUGHTER
Why do we listen to Jonathan?
Give it up for Cockroach, everybody! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Well done, Cockroach.
Are the panel's guesses an antennae out of ten
or has Cockroach left them shell-shocked?
Can you smell that? It's the sweet smell of victory.
Oh, wait... COCKROACH SNIFFS
Might actually just be me. Oh!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Like my favourite item of knitwear, they're a great big jumper.
It's Kangaroo! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# I said a hip hop... #
This is like, old school.
Dudes and dudettes, what's up, y'all?
It's me, K-Roo.
Works out. They might have a fitness DVD.
A move that I do, that is a clue.
I'm the r00 that each thing I do
becomes the thing I'm known for.
So, they've changed career?
Not only do I have talent, but I can spot talent.
Talent. Britain's Got Talent?
Dancing On Ice.
That's not just me saying so,
although you may know me
for presenting my opinion from time to time.
OK, maybe she's a judge.
That's the reality of things. BELLjlNGLES
I'm like a boomerang. The bell must mean something,
because the weight she was using was a kettle bell.
And that's a bell.
Whoever this is, they are really cool.
It could be theatre, Red Curtain.
Tonight, let's hop to it.
# Body moving, we be body moving. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
SONG: 'Lush Life' Oh, yeah!
# I live my clay as if it was my last
# I live my clay As if there was no past
# Doing it all night, all summer
# Gonna spend it like no other
# Ye-e-ah It was a crush
# But I couldn't Couldn't get enough
# It was a rush, but I gave it up
# It was a crush
# But I might have went and said Too much
# That's all it was, so I gave it up
# I live my clay As if it was the last
# I live my clay As if there was no past
# Doing it all night, all summer
# Doing it the way I wanna
# Yeah, |'ma dance my heart out Till the dawn
# But I won't be clone Till morning comes
# Doing it all night, all summer
# Gonna spend it like no other... #
Older voice. # No tricks, no bluff
# I'm just better off Without them cuffs... #
Is it theatre or a singer? # The sun will never set on us
# Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh Yeah, yeah
# Went low, went high
# Still waters run dry
# Gotta get back in the gro-o-ove
# I ain't ever worried
# Went low, went high
# What matters is now
# Getting right back In the groove... # Yeah!
# I live my clay As if it was the last
# I live my clay As if there was no past
# Doing it all night, all summer
# Doing it the way I wanna
# Yeah, |'ma dance my heart out Till the dawn
# But I won't be clone Till morning comes
# Doing it all night, all summer
# Gonna spend it like no other, yeah
# Now I found another crush... #
Oh, yeah! # Lush life giving me a rush...#
# Had one chance To make me blush
# A second one is much too late...# Oh, yeah. Whoo!
# Now I found another crush
# A lush life giving me so much... #
What's going on? # Had one chance to make me blush
# A second one is much too late. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Oh, that was good. You don't see that very often.
Give it up for Kangaroo! Yeah. That was good.
Yay. Oh, yeah... LAUGHTER
That is wonderful twerking.
A great performance. It was a lot of fun, and you can sing.
Kangaroo can really sing. You've got loads of energy.
The clue was "everything I do I get kind of known for",
so someone who has changed career.
I think she was on Gogglebox, she became a TV presenter,
I think it's Scarlett Moffatt. Oh, interesting.
Rita, what are you thinking?
Your voice to me does sound like a singer,
and I saw the Red Curtain Hits on the vinyl.
This person started off in the West End,
she was also on Dancing On Ice as a judge
and the cat collar thing really got me,
and one of her first West End shows was Cats...
JOEL GASPS
...so I'm gonna go with Ruthie Henshall.
DAVINA: Oh, that's a great one. ROSS: Oh!
APPLAUSE
That would make sense, because it's Roo-thie Henshall.
JUDGES AND AUDIENCE: Ooh! RITA: There's that.
Davina McCall, what you thinking?
Kangaroo, quite confused by you.
I saw the idea that you're a spotter of talent,
so I thought maybe a judge on Strictly,
and the youth and vitality,
this could all be trying to steer us away from the age of this woman,
because Arlene Phillips, she's been a choreographer
she's been a dancer, she's been a judge and I think it might be her.
Mo, what are you thinking?
So, when I looked at some of the clues, I seen "spot talent",
someone who's been on a talent show.
And you said, Jonathan, Celebrity Gogglebox,
and this person's on there. I'm gonna say Stacey Solomon.
DAVINA: Oh, yeah. Stacey Solomon's a good shout.
PHONE RINGS Oh!
Ow, I just got your whiskers in my mouth. It's another clue.
Answer the phone. OK, clue.
Hello, Joel Dommett speaking.
G'day, mate. Here are the clues.
Is it A, did you know,
"kangaroo" is bush slang for "nuclear feline"?
Or, B, the key to success is simple -
just follow the yellow brick road.
OK. West End. Shall we go B, then? Yes, B.
Going B? Yep. B, please.
Correct! Yes! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Come on. OK, West End. Yeah.
TRUMPET TOOTS TRIUMPHANTLY Little star.
I feel like I haven't put a star in my pouch for absolutely ages.
OK. We'll only find out "Roo's" inside when the mask comes off.
Give it up for Kangaroo, everybody!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Well done, Kangaroo.
Have the panel figured out Kanga-who it is
or are they jumping to the wrong conclusions?
I got a real kick out of that performance
and the panel haven't got a "r00" who I am.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
So, studio audience, who do you wanna see sing again,
Cockroach or Kangaroo?
The winner will remain in the competition
and the other will find themselves unmasked immediately.
Please welcome back Cockroach and Kangaroo.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Right there, Cockroach. Right there, Kangaroo.
Studio audience, you are voting for your favourite Masked Singer.
Vote now.
The results are in. RITA GASPS
I can tell you there is only eight votes between them.
Oh, wow. ALL: OOH!
The Masked Singer with the most votes
and keeping their mask firmly on for now is...
AUDIENCE CALLS OUT NAMES
Kangaroo! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Well done. Hop off down the tunnel.
Oh, which means, Cockroach,

AUDIENCE SIGHS Don't go anywhere.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

The show that's turned us all into investi-gators.
Cos of, you know, in the jungle... LAUGHTER
Before the break,
our studio audience voted Kangaroo the winner of our second Face Off.
Meaning that in just a moment, Cockroach will be unmasked.
But first, panel, who do you think is behind the helmet?
I'm gonna come to you first, Mo.
I think it's Roman Kemp, how about that? Why not?
APPLAUSE
Davina McCall?
I think it's Russell Watson. Russell Watson.
APPLAUSE
Rita Ora?
I'm gonna say James Haskell.
OK!
Jonathan Ross?

I love you! ..classical artist, Russell Watson!
I love you.
Well done, mate. Aw.
You was fantastic, man.
Thank you.
I never knew you sounded so much like Timmy Mallett until tonight.
I think it was the hammer thing that threw you.
The vocals were phenomenal, obviously.
Thank you. Now I'm thinking that the royal connection...
You've performed how many times for the royals?
For Her Majesty The Queen... Yes, yes. ..it was double figures.
That's insane. Wow. The rugby ball?
The Rugby Union World Cup 1999, sang the anthem for that.
I was going down sportsman route,
but the minute I heard you sing, you have,
to me, such a recognisable voice. Thank you.
We got stuck a bit on the nuts and bolts clue.
Yeah, believe it or not,
I worked in a factory for six years before fame hit, so, yes.
Oh, really?
Yeah, I was literally... # Singing round the lane. #
LAUGHTER
Well, have you enjoyed yourself?
It's been fantastic. I've had a great time.
We love you. You've been so great, man.
Thank you. Honestly, you sounded incredible.
Everyone give it up for Russell Watson, everybody.
Thanks, guys. Thank you. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Here we are, Cockroach singing unmasked at last,
it's Russell Watson! Woo-hoo!

And let's welcome back Koala.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
JOEL LAUGHS Oh, my God.
Oh, my God. I love Koala.
Either Koala or Kangaroo
will be crowned Masked Singer: I'm A Celebrity royalty tonight.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Wouldn't it be great, panel,
if we had the chance to earn another star for camp?
CHEERING
Yes! Oh, what is this over here?
CHEERING
Joel, to win another star, you must reach into the box
to retrieve two luxury item clues,
and you won't be alone. This is...
ECHOES: Hellhole.
DRAMATIC MUSIC
Oh-ho-ho! That was more exciting than I thought it was gonna be.
LAUGHTER
OK. Ooh!
There's noises coming out of it!
CHANTING I Do it! Do it! Do it!
What's that?
I've got something! I've got something!
DAVINA CHEERS I've got something.
Oh. Oh. It's some cards.
It's like little Polaroids...
Yeah. ..of koala bears.
Aw. And we've got jenny, Elvis and Betty.
Do you know someone who's got a kid called Elvis
or pets with those names?
Shall I go back in for another clue?
Yes, yeah. Yes, please. Here we go.
Oh, I've got something nice.
It feels good. I feel like something's being born.
LAUGHTER
Oh, and it's got a star attached! FANFARE
It is like a beanie hat, a wool beanie hat.
Yes, Mo? I think that's a clue, maybe, for Kangaroo...
Yes. ..because I did say Stacey Solomon,
and I think she was crocheting when she was pregnant.
I think that was a thing. This is really tough.
It's very, very difficult.
Well, don't go anywhere, because after the break,
we've got even more clues.
Oh, I think I need a lie down. LAUGHTER
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Who's that behind the mask? #
# Who are ya? Who's that behind the mask? #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Welcome back to The Masked Singer: I'm A Celebrity Special,
where either Koala or Kangaroo
will be crowned our very own King or Queen.
CHEERING
Very shortly, our studio audience
will vote for their favourite character,
but first, let's hear from the kings of the jungle themselves,
Ant and Dec!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Morning, detectives.
It's nearly 7AM here in Australia, and we're almost ready to go live.
Yes, we are. But we have been watching closely,
and we've come to our decision, haven't we, Ant?
We certainly have. We have, and that decision is...
We've got absolutely no idea who's wearing the masks.
Not a clue. And talking of clues,
Joel, I know you've been winning stars to earn some more of them.
Yeah, so fingers crossed they help you crack the case
of who is Koala and who's Kangaroo.
Good luck, and we'll see you all in ten minutes,
live from Australia for the brand-new series
of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! See you shortly.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Thanks, guys. I feel more clues coming on.
Let's get that furry face back in this place.
It's Bushba by, everybody!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE # Who are ya? Who are ya? #
# Who are ya... #
Aw, Bushbaby's back. So cute.
Joel, all night,
you have been collecting stars from camp.
Now it's time to count out how many you've managed to find.
CROWD: Ooh! OK.
Let's have a little count. Got my stars in my bag.
I've got one... Ooh!
...two... Ooh!
...three...
Ooh! And that's it!
Three stars. Yay!
That means you've got three extra clues.
Oh!
Panel, it's down to you to decide how many stars
you wanna spend on Koala...
CROWD: Ooh. ..and how many on Kangaroo.
OK. Panel, what are you gonna choose?
We are closer to getting Koala... Do two.
...or we could use all three on Bushbaby,
because I've forgotten who's in that suit.
LAUGHTER
I don't know why I'm here.
Bushbabies aren't even from Australia.
LAUGHTER
I think we do two on Koala. DAVINA: Yeah.
And one on Kangaroo. Yeah, that sounds good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's great. Yes, let's do that. OK.
Let's take a look, please, Bushbaby.
Two for Koala... Oh!
What have we got? We've got some sort of budgie smugglers.
Wow.
And then we've got a full English breakfast.
RITA GASPS A full English.
Delicious. Erm, so he's obviously...
English. ..British.
So, it's someone who's a swimmer or an athlete or has been...
A swimmer. ..In a swimming-based show, maybe?
One for Kangaroo.
Oh.
The clue is... a leaf. Ah.
This is the clue. This is the clue. DAVINA: Oh!
Actually, that makes sense.
Sinitta!
CROWD: Ooh. Why?
She came out at the judges' houses
wearing a dress made out of banana leaves.
There we go. A name we haven't mentioned.
That's interesting.
That's a really good one. That's a good guess.
Well, thank you, Bushbaby! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Right, now, let's prove it's really you, Bushbaby.
Everyone...
ALL CHANT: Take it off! Take it off!
Take it off! Take it off!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
There he is! john Thomson, everyone!
Yes!
I love you, john. Thank you. You're the best.
So good to see you. john Thomson, everybody.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
He's so great. He's so good. Aw, I love him.
Right, it's the moment of "struth".
LAUGHTER
Studio audience, it's time for you to vote for your winner.
We are moments away from crowning
the first-ever Masked Singer: I'm A Celebrity Special King or Queen.
While our studio audience vote,
here is a reminder of all of tonight's performances.
# Could it be magic now?
# Now, now and hold on fast. #

...Koala!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE # Could it be magic now?
# Now, now and hold on fast... #
I mean, that's quite something.
This is lovely.
Well done.
Oh, Koala. You are our winner.
Head off down the tunnel,
we'll find out who you really are very soon.
Look at the speed! # Who's that behind the mask? #
OK. Wow.
Kangaroo, give it up for Kangaroo, everybody.
Yay! Kangaroo.
You came so close,
and now it is time for you to reveal your true identity.
But first, panel, who do you think is behind the mask?
I'm gonna come to you first, Mo. Oh, you've been an absolute joy.
I think you're Stacey Solomon.
Stacey Solomon, OK. Yes.
Davina McCall?
I think you are Arlene Phillips.
OK. Rita Ora?
I'm gonna say Ruthie Henshall.
OK. APPLAUSE
And Jonathan Ross? That leaf clue threw me.
So your guess was Sinitta, I thought was good.
But I think it still is Scarlett Moffatt.
OK. APPLAUSE
Who is it? Very different names. Kangaroo, who's behind the mask?
ALL CHANT: Take it off! Take it off! Take it off!
Who are you?
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!
It's Sinitta! # Who's that behind the mask? #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Rita, you had it!
Oh, my God.
Pop icon, Sinitta! Hello.
Oh, wow. My God, you are amazing.
I said your name! You said my name.
But then I didn't say at the last minute.
The banana leaf was honestly just the most obvious clue of all time.
Yes, obvious one. That was the obvious one.
And that's exactly what I thought of.
There was a clue about X Factor as well, which was the Xs.
I mean, Rita... I know! And that's...
...| was there when you were there! I know!
Oh, my gosh. Come on, give me a break.
I did say your name, I did!
But you talked yourself out of it. No, guys, I still think I won.
LAUGHTER
Yeah, because you said her is something.
I'm not sure about that. Someone here should have got you,
cos I've just realised what one of the clues was.
The woolly hat was a clue, too. DAVINA: Yeah.
Oh, man! The jump, hosted by Davina McCall,
who should have got it! Davina!
Yeah. What was the date?
They gave us a date in 1986, I think it was.
It was on the back of your jacket. Oh!
This is when So Macho went into the charts. So Macho!
Oh!
Have you had fun, Sinitta? Have you had a lovely time? So much fun.
I've had so much fun. You've been absolutely wonderful.
Give it up for Sinitta, everybody!
Thank you, thank you so much.
Sinitta, singing unmasked at last,
ladies and gentlemen, it's Sinitta!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
SONG: 'Lush Life'
# I live my clay As if it was the last
# Live my clay As if there was no past
# Doin' it all night, all summer
# Doin' it the way I wanna
# Yeah, |'ma dance my heart out Till the dawn
# But I won't be clone When morning comes
# Doin' it all night, all summer
# Doin' it like no other
# Now I've found another crush
# The lush life giving me a rush
# You had one chance To make me blush
# Second time is one too late
# Now I've found another crush
# The lush life giving me a rush
# You had one chance To make me blush
# Second time is one too late. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
You are amazing! So good.
After the break, we will unmask the winner
of The Masked Singer: I'm A Celebrity Special.
And just like a boomerang, we'll be right back.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Who are ya? Who's that behind the mask? #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Welcome back.
It's time to reveal the identity
of your Masked Singer: I'm A Celebrity winner.
Please welcome back to the stage, Koala!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Hold me closer, tiny dancer. #
It is almost time for Koala to be unmasked.
But first, panel, who do you think is behind Koala's mask? Mo?
Erm, I think it is Nick Knowles.
You're going with Nick Knowles. Davina McCall?
I've had another sudden epiphany of Caitlyn Jenner,
because of the Kylie clue. I'll go Caitlyn Jenner.
Yeah. APPLAUSE
Rita Ora? I'm gonna say Jake Quickenden.
Jake Quickenden. Jonathan Ross?
Based on the size, based on the comedy that he's given us,
the personality, and based on the fact that
you're what we call an enthusiastic singer,
I'm gonna say it's Neil "Razor" Ruddock.
That's who I think is in there. The old Razor Ruddock?
APPLAUSE
OK, well, let's see if any of you are right.
Koala, who's 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!
# Who's that behind the mask? #
It's Vernon Kay! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
It's TV presenter Vernon Kay!
Wow. That was so good!
The winner, Vernon Kay, everyone!
I would have never have got Vernon, man.
Who knew you couldn't sing?
LAUGHTER Everyone now!
Your personality with Koala was the best.
As soon as you put the costume on,
it's like being given a licence to do absolutely anything.
But we should have got you, cos I know you are a huge Elvis fan.
Vernon is the name of Elvis' dad.
Oh! When you did the Elvis,
you were doing all the proper moves at the end.
You were totally into it. CHEERING
The K for Kylie? What was that about? just Kay, Vernon Kay.
Vernon Kay, it was there!
There were so many clues. We're so stupid.
The breakfast was a Big Breakfast, where I was model of the week.
Oh, have you had fun?
Oh, I've had the best time. Yeah? Do you know what?
What's weird is being in this costume all clay,
I've lost more weight in this than I did
in I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in the castle in Wales.
I lost two-and-a-half stone, I think I've lost five stone today!
Do Tess and the kids know? No.
They're watching this as we are doing this.
Oh, my God! I love that! They'll be like, "Go on, Dad!"
That's cute. You're the first person I've ever seen that's dancing,
you were interacting with the audience,
you looked comfortable, like you didn't want to take it off.
It's because I'm... I'm naked underneath.
LAUGHTER So it just feels free, liberating.
Oh, yeah! CHEERING
Honestly, everyone give it up
for Vernon Kay, your winner, everybody!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE You've been so good.
Well, there you have it.
Four amazing masked singers have been rumbled in the jungle.
And a huge well done to our amazing celebrities,
the panel and the I'm A Celebrity team.
Good luck with the series, but now, performing one final time,
singing unmasked at last,
it's Vernon Kay!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Whoo!
