Judge Davina McCall jumped to her feet in delight as she had guessed Van Outen was in the costume.

“So foxy!” McCall declared, as Van Outen was unmasked.

Van Outen said being a part of the programme had been a lot of fun.

She said singing in the big shiny mask had been a bit “bizarre” to start with but that she had started to become quite comfortable with it on.

“It’s going to be weird for me singing without it,” she said.
