After she was revealed, Mel admitted she had tried to disguise herself by changing her voice and the way she sang.
The star had performed Kylie Minogue hit Can't Get You Out Of My Head on the show, attempting to throw the judges off the scent by singing differently to usual.

To which Mo, who had insisted he would put money on it being Mel from the start, replied: 'You just have such a distinctive twang. The way that you speak.'
Davina revealed it was Mel's pronunciation of 'show' which gave it away. Whilst Rita added: 'Sometimes when you're too iconic, you're too iconic.'
One of the clues the panel was given in order to guess it was Mel behind the mask was that the Seahorse had stolen toilet roll from a legend's house.
Explaining what had actually happened, Mel said: 'Well we went to Nelson Mandela's house, we all got invited and our hair and make up team actually said to bring something with you.
