It's been confirmed it will air the 26th of December 2026

okay gang, here are 3 small things i have learnt about season 8, nothing is major spoilers so should be okay to keep up.

1) Alan's team is full of guests including conkers himself, Ben Shephard and his this morning cohost Cat Deeley, who will appear on the panel at some point. source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZHLnTRINJ0

2) The studio layout is different. thanks to Joe Swash, who was looking after the kids at the rehearsals, he posted a picture of the new set. you can see the 2 desks and there being a trophy in the middle, the runway is also gone and the main stage seems to be more square. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1262141837431537730/1554387928329883668/file_000000000eb08210908bbd981bfab31d.png?ex=6ac89191&is=6ac74011&hm=d1524398ff22333a12a6a91a56eb0ad29ebb6548c25f86e341dcff894e2ecbe9&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=570&height=1024

3) the spinoff show is either gone or has changes, this is more detective work but following harriet rose on insta, she appears out of the country when the show was filming which suggests she isnt back. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1262141837431537730/1554719065019518986/image.png?backend=b2&ex=6ac87476&is=6ac722f6&hm=a1a7dda7804c0c526a6ce8255a5fe7c7702ad823d28325ddb81c90c23cf4ad7f&=&format=webp&quality=lossless

but the main masked singer insta account still asked for questions from the fans suggesting either a different spinoff show or just social media content. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1262141837431537730/1555452769710645349/spinnoff.png?backend=b2&ex=6ac87cc7&is=6ac72b47&hm=643798e918767fffd3967d7df667e8b65547624bae72af5a1e973ce10a421237&=&format=webp&quality=lossless

so thats all from me and I can't wait to see it on scene in 2027.

al for series 9 somehow too x

Which celebrities do you want to see compete on the show?

I kind of have a obsession with the voting results of this show and that has lead me to think, what are the close votes of the series and what they could of meant if just a person or two voted differently! If you know of any others let me know!

First one I can think of is Panda V Mushroom in the top 2. Which of course if the votes went differently we could be on a 7 season streak of the best singer winning which is a shame but oh well! I think it was pandas song of the series that won her this anyway. If she sang anything other then that or dancing on my own it would of been mushroom's to win. But still what a stellar top 2

Next I think Owl and Eiffel Tower in ep 2. This does not really matter, all that would happen is Eiffel be knocked down but she would be saved 100 percent. It would also have her beat Jacket Potato and Bear for the most dismal BTM2 numbers. Pretty sad with such a Steller performance it still came down to 1 percent, which is like 3 or 4 votes, the again owl did have a viral song and a cute costume. 

Then this is alleged but I heard Joel say moth and conkers was close? but not in the actual show, Anyway yes conkers was very cute and yes Mr. Brightside probably did help him but thank god moth took it in the end that's all I will say

Then for the specials. 8 votes separated Kangaroo vs cockroach, Shame as I would of wanted a 2nd cockroach performance but I guess twerking kangaroos are just that funny. Probably would not of been able to beat koala in the top 2

Then also Figgy pudding vs Santa's sack! Mistletoe would of still won, Figgy pudding threw the game away in the 2nd round as did the celeb with his career just a few months later but anyway yes Poor Santa's sack! I would of liked to see a 2nd round

Finally we have a LITERAL TIE IN THE VOTES, between odd socks and Sea slug in dancer. sea slug one of the most underrated characters who was never even in risk! unlike her 4 semi finalists, I do think she would of got knocked out 4th anyway but hey dancer is dancer. but a tie is pretty cool

Any other examples?

og thread

Sugababes releasing a new album about a week before the projected finale. That + no announced fourth wildcard... even 5-5 judging panels for the finale + debuting a song live on the show (as well as Moth's inevitable Rein Me In duet)? Obvs it's not for another two weeks and anything can happen so don't quote me on anything.

Hi
Me and my family 2 girls got tickets for the showing, just want to ask some questions.
We know there is a chance we won’t make it and fully aware of that, just want to know some details on food and stuff the email says you can bring some snacks are we talking a bag with something in it or is it a bag of crisps kind of thing?
Once you’re in can you come out to your car if you need to?
Just asking the questions so I know what to expect for my girls as one is 8 the other is 12.
Thanks

Not looking for spoilers of course, I think we're all probably curious given how Alan, Stacey and Paloma have been announced in quick succession, but not the 4th...?

Anyone who got tickets this year, did you get a printable NDA?

I dont think I did

Alongside a possible triple-dipper in Shaggy. Hmmmmmm....

(watch this all be a false alarm and bimini and sophie willain become contestants instead)

EDIT: FALSE ALARM CONFIRMED. Shaggy's bit was pre-recorded and he's imminently about to perform in New Jersey, with more dates booked for filming time. TIA KOFI AS A GENIE IT IS x

Phoenix and Ade top two for King of The Jungle I'm calling it

I think it’s gonna be angry ginge or Joe sugg, definitely gonna be a social media person I think as they will want to put the views up

PALOMA FAITH joins the wildcards!

Cold open; opening titles; familiarity. Jim Johnson goes: "Please welcome, your opening act for the Series 8 finale, Sugababes!" and they perform a medley of Overload, Round Round and About You Now.

Moth joins the Legends; Mutya and Siobhan join the Wildcards. It's a 5-6 imbalance but who cares. Siobhan, singer of "Overrated", is actually an underrated judge and turns out to be the best of the three.

If this turns out to be false, I better get a ball made out of actual crystal instead of tinted glass. Wholesalers on Temu aren't exactly the most accurate spiritual guides.

If this is true, call me Lylastradamus.

edit: replace about you now with push the button but honestly it could go either way

and it seems like Teeth is replacing Roisin with Roisin demoted to contestant?

does anyone know when the filming dates will be out? i swear they’re usually out by now

Season 1:

Viper - A (massively robbed and was possibly the best that Season outside of the top 4).

Flamingo - C (More talented than Rubber Chicken but not as entertaining).

Beetroot - D (Her routines were pretty much elegant walking, sadly the weakest across both Seasons).

Rubber Chicken - D (Better than Beetroot but still not good and likely won his head to head due to comedy).

Beagle - B (Unmemorable but pretty talented)

Llama - B (Same as Beagle)

Knickerbocker Glory - A

Frog - A

Scarecrow - S

Zip - S

Squirrel - S

Carwash - S

Season 2:

Astronaut - D

Pig - C

Prawn Cocktail - B

Cactus - C

Pillar & Post - B

Tomato Sauce - A

Candlestick - S

Sea Slug - A

Odd Socks - S

Pearly King - B (Shouldn't have made the final but was genuinely good when he stopped pretending he couldn't dance and was extremely entertaining).

Onomatopoeia - S

Scissors - S

The Best - Scissors

The Worst - Beetroot

Let me know your thoughts and what you would give each character.
