Asked why he decided to go on the show, the 53-year-old TV presenter and actor said: “I’ve been longing to do it.

“I mean, every year, I’m always getting messages saying: ‘Are you so and so…’ And I say: ‘Oh, maybe.'”

He added: “I’ve loved it, (the experience) I mean, it’s the beginning of the journey and the end.”

Panellist Jonathan Ross said the TV star looked like “a very regal chicken”.

The first sing-off of the night was between Air Fryer, who sang King & Queens by Ava Max, and Bubble Tea, who sang Material Girl by Madonna.

Air Fryer was voted to go through to the next stage while Bubble Tea was placed in the bottom three.

The next sing-off was between Owl, who sang Padam Padam by Kylie Minogue, and Eiffel Tower, who sang Voulez Vous by Abba.
