Knickerbocker Glory also said they were "full of sugar, but spicy".

"I want to squeeze some extra zest into the competition."

In their second clue package, they said: "Wow last time I really came unstuck.

"I managed to cruise through without melting under pressure.

"I hope I have the recipe for sweet success again this week.

"This isn't an all star talent show, but yes i can juggle.

"I have a little confession to make, I've dabbled with magic here and there, i love the illusion of what is real and what is not.

"Time to put some magic on the dance floor, but it's not a race - I am a dish best served cold."

Before their semi final performance, Knickerbocker Glory said they had no intention of being famous, but fame came knocking at their door.

They also hinted that they live by the sea, and are linked to pantomimes.
