When I talked about doing the show, I wanted to be completely across the board. My first song was Be Our Guest from Beauty and the Beast.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;It\u2019s a big tune to be fair. And then Ghostbusters and then Temperature. Then Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Pure Imagination, which is one of my favourite songs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;I drive my kids mad singing that at home when we\u2019re watching the movie.

I\u2019m used to being with three other guys on stage and that\u2019s quite a comfort. A bit of security. Although I\u2019m completely masked, it\u2019s still been quite strange being out on my own singing.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Ben Fogle\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1_be1.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p aria-label=\"Just moments earlier, documentary maker Ben Fogle had been unmasked\" class=\"ImageCaption_caption-title__ccyQU\" data-testid=\"caption-title\">Just moments earlier, documentary maker Ben Fogle had been unmasked(Image: ITV)<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">His exit came as part of double elimination, along with TV presenter Ben Fogle, who had been singing as Sloth.

I\u2019ve never done any singing, but I really loved doing it. Actually, there was one song, which was actually my sing-off song, Flash Bang Wallop from Half a Sixpence, for me, that was the song I really wanted to do because my mother was in the original musical.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;I remember watching it as a child, multiple times, and that song was just so joyous. So to get to sing that on a stage, in front of an audience with no one knowing who I was, was super super fun.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The Masked Singer finale airs Saturday at 7pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
