Singer Rita said that as a fan she was 'freaking out' that she had been correct about his identity.

Former Girls Aloud singer Nicola Roberts, who was crowned the show's first winner in 2020, performed a duet earlier in the show with Markus as Robobunny.

She told the judges she had worked out who they were, but held back from telling them her guess.

"He sang four words and I was like 'oh my god'" she gasped.

"All my teenage dreams."
