I find the costumes to be kinda underwhelming this series. Maybe they will look a bit better on the show but in the promotional material they haven't looked particularly inspiring

Always exciting to hear a new series is coming

I’d love for Leona Lewis to follow up her guest judge appearance with an appearance in one of the costumes.

Leonas been a dream contestant for me for so long!

I had a hunch the other day we might see a Saturdays member on this new series.

I normally follow the UK version more than I do the Australian version. So it’s great to see this is back again.

I don't see how this is somehow worse than the other mad stuff we've had on a Saturday.

I like the show but sometimes the judges are sooooo annoying lol. Looking forward to another season, though I usually watch on catch up to skip the drawn out entrances onto the stage and silly convos with the panel lmao

I have to say I love the show - I appreciate it's not for everyone but I'm a bit of a voice nerd and so I'm almost always s*** hot at guessing who people are.

I guessed straight away that it was Ainsley Harriott as Partridge in a Pear Tree and Carol Vorderman as Reindeer on the Christmas episode this year! Likewise I got Natalie Appleton as Fawn straight away before any of the panel did last year.

That said... Rita Ora and Jonathan Ross on the panel are borderline useless / irritating. But I thought Leona was a perfect addition to the panel on the Christmas episode and I'd be here for her full time. Rita had to miss three episodes this series so Jennifer Saunders, Olly Murs and Charlie Simpson (last year's winner) will take her place on each of those. I could see Olly fitting in well to the panel full time now he's not doing The Voice anymore!

From last nights show aside from the unmasking which felt obvious (and a stunt casting of huge icon / name being unmasked first) I feel like the only one that I could distinctly hear was Cricket who’s voice to me was Simon Webbe.

I think it may well be her, especially seeing as she's missing some episodes but not this one.


We're just starting (because who can deal with so many adverts) and we wonder if Air Fryer is Michelle Visage... we were thinking it was a possibility but then her clue was being helped by someone from Chigwell and she's recently starred in Addams Family with Lesley Joseph from Birds of a Feather which was set in Chigwell... could be way off but it fits

Kinda gutted that the piranha was pretty decent (in an ex-talent show kinda way in that he could technically sing but his voice wasn't particularly interesting) as that was my least favourite character and it looks like it will be in for a while.

ALSO - spoiler of who goes what criteria do the judges use to decide who goes because they nearly always choose the wrong one imo, a waste of that chicken caesar costume and it's not like he was the worst singer either

Air Fryer sounds like Keala Settle to me just going by the vocal, I could see Michelle Visage but I think she’s one of those who people always guess and she’s never actually on laugh.gif

Piranha sounded just like Danny Jones from McFly to me!

This is fair and also makes sense - for the same reason as my spoiler, the same person from Chigwell has worked with Keala Settle in Sister Act
