Davina is looking great this series. I also think Joel is a great choice of presenter for the show. Tonight is the first time I've thought Dragon sounded like a woman so I'm going to guess Sue Perkins. My other guesses are:

Sausage- Sheridan Smith
Badger- no idea!
Robin- Lee Ryan (the Elton clues- blue sang with Elton)
Harlequin- Gabrielle (the mention of patch in the clues)

lynsey91 · 30/01/2021 22:33

I might buy a wig like Rita's. Mind you I doubt I would look a fraction as good as she does.

I just can't stand Davina and really wish she was not in the show. She is just too annoying

greatpopcorn · 30/01/2021 22:44

@SpanishFly never heard of him, and although I know of 'take on me' I didn't know the band name.

Late to this fascinating thread, but....

Morten was my favourite back in the day, but Magne has aged very well indeed and I have had many moments of having to fan myself. He's also much better at communicating with the audience than Morten.

We saw A-ha in concert in the 80s and I'll never forget Mags doing his party piece of riding across the stage on a skateboard - on his hands! I could never stay on a skateboard standing on it the conventional way!

One big glaring issue that I'm surprised nobody has mentioned wrt Sausage being Stacey Solomon (and it isn't her - it's Sheridan): sausages are made of pork and Stacey is Jewish. I know she isn't the most devoutly religious Jew out there, but it would still seem in rather poor taste (no pun intended) to specifically give her that costume out of all of them available.

Incidentally, the questions earlier about the firm who made the Dragon costume and whether or not they'd let the dragon cat out of the bag: do they not have them all made in the same place by the same people/company?

I also wonder if they get the costumes first and then assign them at random to the celebrities as they're signed up, or if they get them made up only once they know who is going to be wearing it? Some of them are quite close-fitting and tailored (like Sophie EB's) but others (like Blob) would surely fit just about anybody, wouldn't they?

Also, do the celebs get to choose - either which of the ones that have been chosen by the production team and are offered or can they just name whatever costume they wish? Given the cost and intricacy of the costumes, plus the fact that they don't get very much wear over their 'lifetime', I'd be amazed if the different countries that have their own versions of the show don't share them all around - unless shipping costs were prohibitive, maybe?!

Honeyroar · 30/01/2021 22:46

I’m gutted Morton has gone, but I didn’t think he was good looking anymore personally. He looked really floored to be leaving.

wowfudge · 30/01/2021 22:47

I'm going back to my original thought that Dragon is Carol Vorderman.

wowfudge · 30/01/2021 22:50

@SpanishFly someone who was prominently on some of the earlier 80s or thereabout music threads thought A-ha were one hit wonders and was quite put out when I posted their chart history.

lucie8881 · 30/01/2021 22:58

I'm still saying Brienne from Game of Thrones for Dragon.

Someone up thread has already said Natalie Casey for Sausage, that's not a bad guess.

Katjolo · 30/01/2021 23:05

Louisa Johnson for sausage is my new prediction.

Comefromaway · 30/01/2021 23:05

Natalie was in Legally Blonde but she was Paulette.

NoKingDingaLingTitsInAbsentia · 30/01/2021 23:06

Oh Morten...I knew it was you, that voice is so distinctive! I think the people voting in the [very small] audience need their ears syringing. Can't wait to see who gets revealed next!

Comefromaway · 30/01/2021 23:06

I’d have expected 9-5 references for her rather than LB.

You should be amazed, then. The costumes for the UK version are made by a Brighton-based firm. They are tailored to the celebrity and may include clues. They may also include fake "clues" to throw people off the scent. That isn't going to work if they re-use the costume for someone else.

Thanks - I stand corrected, then Grin

HorseOfPhillipMoss · 30/01/2021 23:13

I was born the year take on me was released, although I know it well and knew who Morton Harket was, only now as an adult do I appreciate his beauty!

Theromanempire · 30/01/2021 23:17

I have sniggered a little bit at a tweet I read earlier about how Morten Harket wanted to push himself out of his comfort zone...by singing his own song GrinGrin

sma1978 · 30/01/2021 23:23

Haven't read this whole thread so might have already been said. Natalie Casey is Sausage I reckon

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 30/01/2021 23:25

I have sniggered a little bit at a tweet I read earlier about how Morten Harket wanted to push himself out of his comfort zone...by singing his own song

And dressed as a person historically from his own country!

Surely he would have achieved his stated aims far more successfully if he'd come on as a Welsh Dresser and sung a reggae version of the Marrow Song?!

HagenDaz · 30/01/2021 23:25

I think Saisage is Sheridan Smith - the BAFTA masks give it away.

When Stacey was on I'm a Celebrity I'm pretty sure she asked for a Saveloy for her last supper.

JaneJeffer · 30/01/2021 23:28

Ooh maybe it's Jean from Eastenders! Sausage surprise anyone?

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 30/01/2021 23:31

Ah, not that theory, then! When she was on Buzzcocks, I clearly remember somebody asking a question about something sausage-related, and she said "That's right: ask the Jewish girl about sausages!" Maybe she was joking, then, and it doesn't bother her in the slightest.

Longdistance · 30/01/2021 23:33

I got Morten and Lenny Henry right.
Sausage I keep changing from week to week, but Sheridan has cropped up this week for me again.
Harlequin is Gabrielle as she was touching her right eye. It’s also the voice.
Robin has me stumped, but dh thinks it’s Aston Merrygold??
Badger, JK.
Dragon sounded like Sue Perkins, but dragon tattoo I’d thought was Ruth Jones.

sma1978 · 30/01/2021 23:37

@HagenDaz

I think Saisage is Sheridan Smith - the BAFTA masks give it away.
I thought so to but then realised she only had her baby in Sept 2020, bit of a tight timescale between lockdown and filming The clues do also point to Natalie.

joris

It has been well over 3 hours and I am still sniggering at Martin Horket! 🤣

So much so my owl hasn’t shut up for ages. He must be thinking I’m doing an elaborate mating call.

That was perfection ☺️
