Clues: Butterfly is "free-spirited" and has travelled to "foreign lands" – her habitat has "recently been threatened" and she is a DJ, while "millions of people tuned in to see [her] tie the knot".

"I was spotted before my big break," she revealed.

Who's behind the mask? Butterfly was the first celebrity to be unmasked on the show.

On Saturday 4th January's opening episode, the judges failed to correctly guess that Butterfly was EastEnders star and celebrity DJ, Patsy Palmer, best know to many TV viewers for playing Bianca Jackson in the BBC soap.

Clues: Unicorn said he grew up on a small island but was always drawn to the big city and would stand out from the crowd all the time.

Theories: People were pretty convinced for a while they were listening to John Barrowman singing. But talk turned to Glee favourites Matthew Morrison and Kevin McHale fairly quickly.

Who's behind the mask? In a twist only some saw coming, it was actually Jake Shears from the Scissor Sisters hiding behind the rainbow costume.
