TV host Joel Dommett kicked off the show with a rendition of Blondie's 'One Way Or Another' as he walked through the studio flanked by dancers.

He gave each of the panellists a go at singing too as Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross and Maya Jama all took turns at belting out lyrics to the iconic song.

The song then ended with McFly singer Danny Jones taking over, as the winner of last year's show returned to the stage.

However viewers at home weren't impressed with the performance, as some asked the show to 'make it stop'.

Writing on social media one viewer wrote: "Oh no! Who on earth thought that it would be okay to let Joel sing? It's bad enough when he speaks!"

Another posted: "Oh my ears, someone gag Joel…"

"That opening was exactly like a karaoke session after bottomless brunch," said a third.

Another shared: "I love Joel, but good lord the singing."

"Love Joel but he can't out sing Danny there's no contest," said another.

Theories for who the three mystery singers could be have been thrown out by fans of the show.

So far the guesses range from Wet Wet Wet superstar and Sweet Little Mystery crooner Marti Pellow as Wolf to West End superstar Samantha Barks as Pufferfish.

For the third singer, Dressed Crab has had many viewers have been convinced it's Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Gregory Porter.

The final show also sees the three mystery singers duet with previous Masked Singer stars, including last year's winner Danny Jones.

Danny also joins as a guest panellist, replacing comedian Mo Gilligan who is absent due to being on his comedy tour in the US.
