Roberts, who said she felt “sick” after being told she had won, started with a performance of Jocelyn Brown’s Somebody Else’s Guy before singing Lewis Capaldi’s Someone You Loved.

She said singing behind Queen Bee’s mask had given her extra confidence.

“I’ve loved it,” she said, adding: “It’s piping hot in there.”

Manford – as Hedgehog – opened with a rendition of Cry Me A River, made famous by Julie London in 1955, before performing Little Mix’s Black Magic.

“I have loved this show. It’s been fabulous,” he said.

“I have actually managed to keep it a secret from my children. They have just found out at the same time as you that Daddy is doing the show.”

Asked about how his confidence had grown through the series, Manford added: “To walk out here to a crowd which is loving it, you come on with that confidence because the show gives you that confidence.”

She said she had initially kept her “opera voice” under wraps on the show to protect her identity, and had enjoyed performing as Octopus as her normal career could be “quite serious”.

Jenkins said she had enjoyed creating “a new character”, and had imagined performing for her four-year-old daughter Aaliyah when she dressed as Octopus.
