The unmasked 'celebrity' from Sunday's was on This Morning yesterday and gave some details about how it's made.

The signers are checked into their hotel under pseudonyms and while at and travelling to the filming they wear balaclavas and signs saying 'Don't talk to me'. It hadn't occurred to me that not even the singers know who the other singers are!

It's amazing ITV are more determined to keep the secrets about who a singing tree is than they are about storylines in their soaps.
itvblocks and DavidWhitfield gave kudos

Soon to be followed by the Masked Baker, the Masked Comedian and the Masked Magiciain (actually, think Fox have done that one already!)

I don't think the Duck singing voice fully matches Denise Lewis voice from when she appeared on All Star Musicals. The London clue through might be that if it Denise - she won gold in the millennium year.
I am not sure the public perception of Denise Lewis is that being a softie would surprise people - it might more with some of other female athletes.
Surely going to be eliminated on saturday.
Skunk from Skin Anasie being the duck would be a bit who - do even 25% of the audience know her name?
Not overtly well known by the twitter generation or the core itv audience. Loads of Who? and people will lose interest - no matter how interesting they are.
Kellis and Celo Green are big names (and would be massive if ITV got Celo Green before the US version) but my parents and others in my family of that generation simply have no idea who they are. It's a difficult act balancing the booking for this show.

As someone who was cynical about this show when I first heard about it, I have to say, I bloody love it. It’s fun, it’s silly, and it’s very entertaining.

It’s also remarkably slick for something so frivolous. I know it’s pre-recorded but it’s very well edited, and the production values are very good. Joel is a very good host too. Would be interesting to see it go out live.

It feels like everything X Factor should be.

This is the only singing show were I've been genuinely gripped by the VTs. Normally I'll fast forward through them but they're so filled with clues that I'm hanging on their every word. It really is one of those rare, genius formats that those of us developing new shows wish we'd have thought of years ago.

Duck is going to turn out to be Skunk. That could kill a lot of viewers interest if they have never ever heard of her.

If it was a skunk, I think everyone in the studio would be pretty repulsed Wink
