Candlestick talked about going back in forth in time as well as bringing generations together.

  • Liam Charles

  • Jamie Laing

Odd Socks - unmasked as Kimberley Walsh

Odd Socks showed off a messy family home with the word "Loose" written on the fridge.

The number one being used throughout the dance made them sure the celebrity must be linked to The One Show.

  • Alex Jones

  • Emma Willis

  • Laura Whitmore

  • Stacey Solomon

Sea Slug - unmasked as Denise Lewis

Sea Slug showed a broken penny which Oti thought meant former Strictly champion Jill Halfpenny, but Jonathan Ross believed was a clue to her being James Bond's Miss Moneypenny.
