Anyone else going to watch this? It looks fabulously weird but I've watched some clips of the one in the states. They have had some quite high calibre singers / stars so I have high hopes Grin

I can’t believe I watched it in the first place. But now I can’t believe that I have to watch the rest of it to find out who they all are! I actually enjoyed it. I will not admit that to anyone I know Grin

I find chameleon incredibly familiar. Had to watch him again. It’s right there on the tip of my tongue. The way he speaks, even the way he moves. His physique. Really really familiar and it’s seriously annoying me!

ConstancetheGardener · 04/01/2020 23:04

Chameleon sounded like Charles Venn off Casualty . That American judge is bloody annoying and has probably never heard of any of the unmasked z listers (I'm guessing they will be but happy to be amazed by A listers).

I love this show!

I really thought one was Denise Lewis but I don't think she was a long distance runner.

SleepingStandingUp · 04/01/2020 23:07

@Clangus00 he's also in Tree Fu Tom

cricketmum84 · 04/01/2020 23:22

@mnahmnah I'm convinced will mellor is chameleon. It sounded just like his singing voice.

mnahmnah · 04/01/2020 23:25

@cricketmum84

Ooh yes! That could be him!

mnahmnah · 04/01/2020 23:30

He’s not done the voice of a kids cartoon though....

cricketmum84 · 04/01/2020 23:31

Same mannerisms and everything. He's been on celebrity juice a few times recently and As soon as he started singing thought yup that's him!

cricketmum84 · 04/01/2020 23:33

@mnahmnah according to Wikipedia he voiced a dog in a citv series called Barking in 2004!

AS IF Colin Firth is going to dress up as an animal to sing on a crap talent show! As if!

I reacted similarly to a previous poster when one of the judges guessed Margot Robbie for the bee, AS IF! She was nominated for an Oscar and doesn’t need to do this bollocks. As they must surely know.

My rule of thumb in these situations is, look at the judges and the contestants will be at least one notch below. The judges are three has beens and a bloke nobody has ever heard of. Plus it is on ITV, so ITV will have gathered its awful second rate celebs together (clue: all of them) and said, right, we’re doing conscription for this shit show and one in ten of you is in the firing line.

Thus I expect a parade of D listers including Stacey whatsherface from Loose Women, her boyfriend whose job appears to be going on increasingly crap reality shows, at least one GMTV presenter and that slightly slow-looking bloke who presents Tipping Point. I’m surprised that they have not enlisted Ant, of Ant and Dec renown. As in, you will do this godawful show dressed as a singing cockroach or no more millions of quid for prime time TV for you.

I shall, of course, be watching avidly.

Iamthewombat · 04/01/2020 23:53

One of them will be that ex-JLS bloke, with or without his dreadful wife who used to be in The Saturday’s.

Iamthewombat · 04/01/2020 23:57

Please let the duck NOT be Dame Kel. No. She is too good for this. This show is the sort of thing Victoria ‘MEMEMEME LOOK AT ME’ Pendleton would do.

TildaTurnip · 05/01/2020 00:05

I thought this was utterly ridiculous but I will be watching again to see if the hedgehog is Jason manford.

PennyArcade · 05/01/2020 00:18

I tuned in and thought, "What the fresh hell is this?" But I couldn't stop watching tbh. I think the chameleon is Robbie Williams and the hedgehog is Michael McIntyre. No fucking idea about the others... 🤷‍♀️

MoonlightMistletoe · 05/01/2020 00:56

I think the hedgehog is Michael McIntyre and I have no idea about the others!

Runkle · 05/01/2020 01:36

Will Mellor has the package for Chameleon too. Blush

GrimDamnFanjo · 05/01/2020 02:45

Kind of wondering if Jack Whitehall is one?
Good call John Barrowman he is a very good singer though and I wasn't paying enough attention to judge.
The slebs will have to have some recognition or the format will not work.

LIZS · 05/01/2020 07:28

Desperation tv , for all involved.

peanutfoldover · 05/01/2020 07:38

Unicorn 100% Barrowman

The80sweregreat · 05/01/2020 09:54

I was more intrigued by Davina McColl wearing a belt round her neck.
It looked uncomfortable.
I thought one might be Julian Clary or David Tennant but it's annoying as they only revealed one last night and I felt cheated.
Plus those costumes must be boiling.

The80sweregreat · 05/01/2020 09:59

Jason manford can sing and I think one might be him too. Filmed before the new quiz show his on now on bbc.

'reacted similarly to a previous poster when one of the judges guessed Margot Robbie for the bee, AS IF! She was nominated for an Oscar and doesn’t need to do this bollocks. As they must surely know.'

Yes they'll all be reality stars and soapstars. I imagine Joey Essex will be there and the GC is bound to appear.

ThisLittlePiggyWentTo · 05/01/2020 10:09

I half wondered Greg Rutherford for chameleon!

Or one of jls.

Gemma2019 · 05/01/2020 10:42

I've been giving this far too much thought.

Hedgehog - Jason Manford - I'm 100% sure of this as he used to die every night on Sweeney Todd and he's used that quote before

Unicorn - John Barrowman or Jake Shears from Scissor Sisters

Chameleon - Justin Hawkins as all the clues fit and he even mentioned his solo single

Duck - maybe Denise Lewis

Bee - obviously someone from Manchester but I'm not sure

Gemma2019 · 05/01/2020 10:48

Also Justin Hawkins used to do Zingzillas and Caties Amazing Machines on CBeebies
