Anyone watching this? I shunned it at first thinking it would be totally crass ( and the panel is truly awful) but I m really enjoying it as a bit of madness in this sad old world

DH thinks Katherine Jenkins or Lesley Garrett for Octopus.I think Denise van Outen for fox.

So far all my guesses have been A listers but I'm not sure they'd want to do this until it becomes more of a hit show.

I do hope there are some big name surprises at the end though.

I am enjoying it too, but not enjoying my DH’s grumbles when they shout ‘Take it off! Mind you, I find that a bit annoying too.

Nandalot Sun 02-Feb-20 15:03:00

Does anyone else find the Queen Bee costume a bit disturbing? It could work in a horror movie. I think the fox is an amazing costume.

BlueBelle Sun 02-Feb-20 15:07:47

What way is it disturbing nandalot I must have missed something and I m curious now

Nandalot Sun 02-Feb-20 15:12:20

I suppose it is the human face but one which is totally inanimate. Perhaps it’s just me then!

BlueBelle Sun 09-Feb-20 06:52:03

Well we had both tonight’s singers on our radar
I thought Queen Bee would go out not Monster

Yehbutnobut Sun 09-Feb-20 07:06:14

Charlotte Church perhaps for octopus? Russell Watson or similar for hedgehog?

Yehbutnobut Sun 09-Feb-20 07:13:01

Word out is that Jeremy Vine made a blunder on TV and said he couldn’t wait to be ‘out of that costume’ but ..he’s not a very good actor so could it be a bluff?

DanniRae Sun 09-Feb-20 08:46:36

My daughter and I think that Queen Bee is Nicola Roberts from Girls aloud, Hedgehog is Jason Mumford and Octopus is Charlotte Church.
Can't remember who Monster was - nor had I heard of him - but my daughter got him right and she guessed Fox as Denise Van Outen! (So when I said "My daughter and I" I suppose I should have said "My daughter!" blush

BlueBelle Sun 09-Feb-20 10:21:06

Monster was Ceelo Green Dannieray and yet I got him and Denise Van outen
I m sticking with Charlotte Church or Lesley Garrett (as second choice) for octopus
Hedgehog I keep changing first I thought Michael ball but definitely not chubby enough then Bradley Walsh just not sure
Queen Bee I really don’t know but think it might be someone off my radar
I do look forward it

I saw that

It was just a joke

lemongrove Sun 09-Feb-20 10:27:32

You’re all very good at guessing, and I hadn’t heard of Cee Lo
Green in any case ?Great voice though.
Hedgehog seems very slim ( who’s Jason Mumford?) I had guessed Michael Ball but maybe it’s really Jeremy Vine!!
I also guess that Octopus in Kathryn Jenkins and have no idea who Queen Bee is.

Oopsminty Sun 09-Feb-20 10:32:10

I love Cee Lo Green

Do you remember his song, Crazy, lemongrove?

Fabulous

He's very successful and I couldn't believe he'd do this show but there he was!

Yehbutnobut Sun 09-Feb-20 10:46:29

He’s a lovely man too by all accounts

trisher Sun 09-Feb-20 10:54:32

I didn't want to watch this but I've got caught up in it. It's addictive!!!!! HELP! grin

Yehbutnobut Sun 09-Feb-20 10:56:13

trisher good, harmless fun.

lemongrove Sun 09-Feb-20 10:58:22

Ah! Yes, I do Oopsminty that was a really good song ( and playing in my head now)?

Yes trisher once seen you can’t turn it off!

I watch this while doing something else like sewing or reading but I haven't guessed a single one correctly. I rather like the Queen Bee costume.
It's a shame that the panel are so intrusive - who watches a show to see the judges? I don't and I can't be alone in that.

Grannyben Sun 09-Feb-20 13:17:18

Milandra Burrows for the octopus

DanniRae Sun 09-Feb-20 13:32:35

I can't wait for the final next Saturday - and I hated it at first.
Family member visiting the next week and wanted to watch it and I was hooked
I guess it's harmless fun in this crazy world.

merlotgran Sat 15-Feb-20 19:30:26

If she still has a voice I think it's Connie Fisher for Octopus.

merlotgran Sat 15-Feb-20 19:32:27

I've changed my mind already grin

merlotgran Sat 15-Feb-20 19:32:51

This is soooooo hard.

downtoearth Sat 15-Feb-20 19:47:03

Wonder if hedgehog is Micheal Buble ?
