- Justin Hawkins (Chameleon)

The Darkness frontman Justin Hawkins shocked us all when he was unveiled as Chameleon.

He said: “I wanted to take part in something that would be slightly surreal, and the secrecy made it a very exciting. Like having an extra-musical affair.

Footballer Teddy Sheringham said of his decision to come on board: "I saw the show that aired in the States and thought I'd love to do that for my kids."

Kelis later old host Joel Dommett that she wanted to enter after being told that her voice is 'distinctive'.

- Skin (Duck)

Singer Skin said of her time on the competition: "It was really fun jumping into a completely different character and using it to portray a sillier side of myself that the public rarely get to see, but it was quite difficult to sing in so that held me back a little!"

- Jake Shears (Unicorn)

Jake was correctly predicted by many of the judges to be Unicorn, and he said of keeping it a secret: "It was hard at first, because friends could tell I was excited about something but I couldn’t tell them which made them crazy, so I just had to learn to pretend like there was absolutely nothing going on!"

- Denise Van Outen (Fox)

Loose Women star Denise didn't even tell her kids what she was up to, and later said: "I never told a soul I was doing the show. My family, Eddie and Betsy, had no idea. It was fun keeping it to myself."

- CeeLo Green (Monster)

US star CeeLo claimed he hadn't found it challenging keeping his appearance a secret.

He said: "No not necessarily, simply because I have a small group of people I live and work with.

"We are all essentially a part of staff and we hold each other accountable so therefore a secret is safe with us."
