Meanwhile, Joel admitted one of the most challenging aspects of his job is keeping the panellists in check
‘It is mad because I’m trying to sort of keep them in check. Whilst also, and it’s something you don’t really see on television, you’ve got these people in these costumes and they often cannot see where they are at all.
‘They have no spatial perception at all. One character didn’t even know whether they were facing the front, the side, the back. They had no idea.
‘So I’m trying to talk to the panel, trying to get them to behave, but at the same time trying to sort of shepherd a person in a costume to the middle of the stage and often they’ll walk again to the front of the stage and I have to get them back and make sure they’re in shot and stuff like that.
‘I’m spinning a lot of plates.’

Talking about taking part in the show, Alexander said after his unmasking: ‘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.

Speaking on not knowing who his co-stars were, 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.
