00:00Who are ya? Who are ya? Who are ya? Who's left behind the mask?
00:08Hello, I'm Harriet Rose, your host of Unmasked.
00:11Now, if the masked singer was the king of Saturday night TV,
00:15then Unmasked is the silly little court jester.
00:18And has this silly little court jester got some chaos in store for you?
00:22Yes, I've been running around backstage causing a mild panic.
00:26Plus, I went to see the judges at their desks
00:28and played some games that their agents definitely haven't approved of.
00:31Also, a little bit later, I'm going to be receiving a mysterious delivery.
00:36No, it's not a pizza.
00:38It is, in fact, an exclusive clue about one of our masked singers.
00:41One that even Joel Domit doesn't know about, and I love that for me.
00:45But right now, it was murder on the dance floor for our disc jockey,
00:48so I'm going to go and have a chat with them. Come with me.
00:50You were amazing. You sang one of my favourite songs of all time, Chapel Rhone.
00:54How was that? If you're going to go down, go down with Chapel.
00:57I completely agree.
00:59Tell me, what is better, hosting The One Show or being on The Mars Singer?
01:03Oh, it's a tough call, but I think I should probably stick to speaking.
01:08No!
01:09Yes.
01:10Are you mad?
01:11You need a hearing test.
01:13I don't, because I like hearing your voice.
01:15Oh, no, I've had a great time. We had such fun.
01:18I've never sung in my life. In fact, it was a bit of a phobia.
01:21Really?
01:22Yeah, because when I was little, I always used to have kind of a cold,
01:27and they just chucked me out of the choir.
01:29And from then on, I thought, that's it, singing's not for me.
01:32But I was convinced to do this because the kids, as I said to Joel, love the programme.
01:37So I thought, okay, let's do it.
01:39So it's been like a big thing to overcome.
01:42And having that experience of learning with the coaches has been amazing.
01:47I would never chuck you out of my choir, even if you had a cold.
01:50Well, and I can mime, do you know what I mean?
01:52That's the thing in choir. You don't even need to sing, do you?
01:54I just had no clue. It's a complete new skill to me.
01:57And I can't say I've mastered it, but I've really loved, you know, just giving it a go.
02:03What you did very well was hid your Welsh accent because I had no idea it was you.
02:07Well, I mean, Mum and Dad said that drama degree wouldn't amount to anything.
02:12And here we are.
02:13You were brilliant.
02:14Would you say it was a career highlight?
02:16I think it is. I mean, it's something really different.
02:18A lot of what we do, I mean, I interview lots of brilliant people.
02:21But a lot of this other stuff can be quite serious and a bit stuffy.
02:25And this is just pure joy, fun.
02:29But it's something I will remember forever.
02:32And can I just say, I think you could take to the streets now
02:35as a sort of busking, jockey, horse-riding performer.
02:40Is that some sort of alternate career you could look at?
02:43Surely we can keep the costume after all of this.
02:45I am going to say yes.
02:47Even though that's not my decision at all.
02:49I'm just going to go home in it.
02:50Go home in it and run.
02:52As soon as you leave here, I want you to run as fast as you can.
02:55Oh, my gosh, I will run. Sprint for you like a jockey on a horse.
02:59You'll trot off.
03:00I'll trot off, everybody.
03:01Alex Jones, everybody. She's going to trot off.
03:04See you later.
03:05I'm getting trot off. Bye.
03:07Well, there you have it, our latest Unmasked Celeb.
03:10Who knew it was Alex Jones's legs in those ginormous jobbers?
03:16Anyway, I headed over to the judges' desk to cause some chaos.
03:20And I'll tell you now, it was pretty silly.
03:22This news just in, Anne-Marie wants to play now.
03:25Of course, everybody wants to play Harriet's Games.
03:28Hurry up.
03:30Nearly hit that guy.
03:32Still can't let it all remind me.
03:34Anne-Marie's here, everybody.
03:35Do you want to play a bit of this or that?
03:37Yeah.
03:38Here we go.
03:39No.
03:40The masked singer or the voice?
03:41You can't do that.
03:43No.
03:44The masked singer or the voice?
03:45The masked voice.
03:46Kiss my...
03:47Oh.
03:48Ciao, adios.
03:49I'd say ciao, adios.
03:50I'm done.
03:51Yeah.
03:52So you're just joining in?
03:53That's okay.
03:54I know the words.
03:55Yeah.
03:56I like your teeth.
03:57Thank you so much.
03:58No, I like your teeth.
03:59I want your teeth.
04:00I feel like you can have them after this.
04:01You can have whatever you want, Anne-Marie.
04:03Glastonbury or Wembley?
04:04I don't know.
04:05I've done both of them.
04:06No, I haven't done either.
04:07I can't answer.
04:08I'm going to say Glastonbury.
04:09Sold.
04:10Take out or eat in.
04:11I was about to say take out or eat out.
04:13Take out or eat in.
04:14Ain't that the same fit?
04:15Oh, you go to a restaurant and eat in or take it out.
04:20I don't normally go out, so I'm going to say eat in to make myself do something.
04:27Well, you're a busy girl.
04:28Well, I've also got very bad social anxiety.
04:31Hey girl, I'll take you out for dinner.
04:33Nice, let's do it.
04:34You're out of social anxiety with me because I'll give you money.
04:37I'll give you more social anxiety.
04:38Yeah, you will be the social anxiety.
04:40I will.
04:41I am social anxiety.
04:42Fish or meat because you played fish.
04:44Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go.
04:46Love you, buddy.
04:47Me.
04:48Gotta go, gotta go.
04:50Run, run, run.
04:52Honestly, genuinely nearly got in trouble there because it went from Harriet to Harriet.
04:57We know what that means.
04:58There's someone hiding behind here, by the way.
05:00It's okay.
05:01You're allowed to be here.
05:02Oh, no.
05:03She fought me.
05:04Ha!
05:05That is enough with the judges for now.
05:16I hope they've recovered.
05:17I certainly have not.
05:19Anyway, why don't we take a little look at the chaos that ensued when I was allowed backstage
05:24with the stage management team.
05:26So, some of the masked singers are in their quick changes.
05:29And the only reason we know some of them are in their quick changes is because there is
05:33a girl standing behind me in front of Can of Worms.
05:37Oh, someone's just gone in.
05:39I think Can of Worms is in there right now.
05:42Shall we ask the girl?
05:43Do you think she's going to get me fired?
05:45Let's have a ask.
05:46Oh, my God.
05:47Someone's coming out.
05:48Don't move.
05:50What?
05:51Shall I stop?
05:53Someone's telling me to stop.
05:54Keep going.
05:55Ask her.
05:58Excuse me.
05:59Is Can of Worms inside there?
06:00Not yet.
06:01We're just waiting by.
06:02Not yet.
06:03Not allowed to do it.
06:04I've got to go away.
06:05What's your name?
06:06Caitlin.
06:07Caitlin, thank you so much.
06:08I've got to go.
06:09I'm being fired.
06:10Get out.
06:11Quick, go.
06:12Okay, guys, please act natural.
06:13We're going to go and see the stage management team.
06:14They're very serious.
06:15They're the people that get all the props on and off.
06:17They make sure you don't fall over.
06:19They also keep locked tight about who is behind the mask.
06:22Let's go and have a jiggery-pokery around.
06:24Do you know what I mean?
06:25All right, guys.
06:27I wonder why there's so many exercise balls.
06:30I wonder if someone's teaching a Zumba class here later.
06:35If they are, I'd love to sign up because those classes are expensive.
06:38There she is.
06:39Vicky, Vicky, Vicky.
06:41This is the lady in the know.
06:42Are you hosting a Zumba class here later?
06:45No way.
06:46Why is there so many exercise balls?
06:48For one of the artists.
06:50Okay.
06:51What can I tell you?
06:53What can you tell me?
06:55Can you give me any hints and tips for who's behind the mask?
07:01Not yet.
07:02It's too early to say.
07:03Too early to say.
07:04Have you got any guesses?
07:05Yeah.
07:06Do you know any of them?
07:07A couple of them have stared at me.
07:10With their eyeballs?
07:11Yeah.
07:12Yeah.
07:13Well, well, well.
07:14You can see them.
07:15What's your favourite prop this year?
07:17Is it the big pink balls?
07:19Yeah, always.
07:20I'm a child.
07:23And so is she, to be fair.
07:25Thank you, Vicky.
07:26Vicky has just backed away into the darkness as if she doesn't now exist.
07:30She's gone into the curtains.
07:32Right, you want me to go in here?
07:34Yeah, that's actually a real exercise ball, that is.
07:37So, if you're wondering whether the props are fake, they're not.
07:41Can of worms.
07:42Don't open one of those here because it's a dangerous game.
07:45See what I did there?
07:47Open the can of worms.
07:50Careful, careful, guys.
07:52Careful with that one, yeah?
07:54Look after that for me.
07:55Look after that one for me, do you know what I mean?
07:57Let's go into that link.
07:58Let's go there.
07:59Okay.
08:00That went well, as I imagined it would.
08:03I have actually got an exclusive for you, haven't I?
08:06Of course I have.
08:07And no, it is not that Maya Jammer only likes red skittles in her dressing room.
08:11That girl loves any colour of skittle.
08:13No, in fact, it is a delivery from one of the Masked Singers to yours truly.
08:19Well, looky here.
08:21It's a prime delivery from our very own Masked Singer, Sloth.
08:25And here we are.
08:26What have we got inside the box?
08:28Ooh.
08:30It's a scientific experiment set.
08:34My dream as a child.
08:37What about Professor Brian Cox?
08:40Or someone who likes to taste the rainbow?
08:43Perhaps they're a big fan of skittles.
08:44I heard Maya Jammer likes skittles.
08:46Maybe she's running on and off stage whilst being on the judging panel.
08:50Probably not, though.
08:51I'm putting this down, but I am taking it home with me, just to be clear about that.
08:54So don't any of you try and take it. Thank you.
08:56And just like that, the first Masked is off, guys.
09:00We've done it.
09:01It's been emotional.
09:02We've laughed.
09:03We've cried.
09:04The chaos does not end there.
09:06We'll be back next time with more exclusive clues.
09:10Clues.
09:11Don't miss it.
09:12Thank you so much to our first Unmasked Celeb.
09:14And thank you to our judges for having absolutely no idea what they've got themselves into.
09:19And thank you so much to you for tuning in to Unmasked.
09:23Do not miss it.
09:24We'll be back with more chaos next time.
09:26We'll be back with more chaos next time.
09:56You
