I can hear a bit of Michael Sheen too! Which tips me more towards David Tennant tbh as they are best pals and I can imagine him trying to sound like Michael. Also the fact DT and Ricky know each other also pushes me more towards DT as I think he could more easily mimic Ricky’s voice than Ricky could mimic his mannerisms etc.

Would the clues fit Michael Sheen though?

I'm over 40 (a couple of years younger than Davina i think) and wouldn't know him if he walked into my front room. The name is vaguely familiar but couldn't have told you what he did. Had to google him when he was mentioned on here and was surprised people thought he was a big star. Never liked Bon Jovi (not a fan of America rock) and only associate them with Jon Bon Jovi.

Where was I've been a Bon Jovi fan for a million years. Seen the band in concert loads of times and seen Richie doing his Solo show. The band sold over 100m records and they've had a billion downloads of their songs.

So I think he's the biggest star they've had on this show.

Strange how people are different, isn't it.

Loads of clues fit Michael Sheen and he's a brilliant mimic too. (Think Brian Clough, David Frost and Chris Tarrant...just a few roles where he's impersonated people fantastically well.)

I'm ruling out DT purely because of his stint in the west end whilst TMS was filmed.

As much as I'd love it to be someone else, I'm resigned to it being Ricky W. If not him then it's definitely someone impersonating him, especially with that trademark "ha ha" thing that he does whilst singing. (Partly what made me think of Steve Coogan!)

Last night I got Joe Lycett vibes but apparently he was on tour so the dates clash.

Not sure if already mentioned but the 2012 Olympics closing ceremony featured a big phoenix in the air, when the torch was put out....looks just like our masked Phoenix character. Ricky performed there as well as loads of others.

I’m still certain Phoenix is Ricky Wilson. He’s a performer and you can see that in his mannerisms. He’s trying to throw people off though. My young kids (7&5) even said said it was him the first time he sang… not that that’s a lot to go on 😂

Kaiser chiefs also performed at the 2012 olympics.

The costume is cute but whoever it is doesn't seem very animated and seems to just be singing by numbers, not really adding much to bring the character to life.

A pretty subdued performance....makes me think it's someone who is either not used to singing or performing in front of an audience or hasn't done it in years, perhaps not the most outgoing/fun personality (although they did say they're the joker of the pack 🤷‍♀️), maybe massively holding back or perhaps just trying to play it cool....or several of the above. It's all a bit lacklustre though, I agree...both vocally and stage presence wise.

If it is Natalie then I guess she's probably not very used to being on stage alone and usually harmonises with others, elevating her voice. All Saints were always the "cool" ones. I liked their music but they never seemed very dynamic in terms of showmanship. Whoever it is, I'm surprised that they're still in.
