Alexander Armstrong was unmasked as the celebrity behind Chicken Caesar during Saturday evening’s The Masked Singer.
During the episode, the actor and comedian, 53, battled it out against Air Fryer, Bubble Tea, Owl, Eiffel Tower, and Piranha.
Talking about taking part in the show, he said: ‘I’ve been longing to do it, every year I’m always getting messages saying are you so and so? Are you Traffic Cone? And I say maybe!
‘I’ve loved it, it’s the beginning of the journey and the end of the journey but what a journey it’s been!’
When asked about keeping it a secret, he added: ‘I’ve found keeping the secret ok. It’s made very easy for us because we all have code names. I’ve got very good at talking about the programme by its code name, so it’s been pretty good.

‘Obviously the fact is we all have to mask up as we walk around, we have to wear gloves, full visor, and everything. It just feels very Squid Game, but I don’t mind that. It adds a bit of risk.
Speaking on not knowing who your co-stars are, Alexander said: ‘I think the strangest thing of all is obviously not knowing any of the other people who are on. The only clues you get is hearing them sing. Piranha, boy oh boy, they are incredible. It’s very strange not knowing who you’re up against.
Joel Dommett has returned to host the ITV show, alongside judges Davina McCall , Jonathan Ross, Rita Ora and Mo Gilligan.
