‘After many years of people guessing Harry Hill they fumble so bad lmao,’; ‘Thats it. we can stop guessing Harry Hill for every contestant.’
Red Panda’s place in the competition didn’t come without drama, as they were noticeably missing from the opening episode.
The character was dramatically pulled from the launch episode just hours before transmission.
The decision to remove the performance followed the deadly fire at the Le Constellation bar in Switzerland on New Years Eve, where around 40 people were killed after a sudden blaze at the venue.
But last month Red Panda finally made their on stage to viewers with a performance of Bat Out Of Hell.
After their first performance, the judges guessed it might be Alan Carr hiding under the mask – but the viewers’ top guess was Harry.
Speaking after his unmasking, Harry revealed his wife thought he was ‘choking on a Pot Noodle’ while he rehearsed at home.
He added: ‘I must quickly apologise to Alan Carr,’ after rumours circulated that Red Panda was the Celebrity Traitors star.

Earlier in the episode, viewers finally got to see the identity of ‘double agent’ Mole Dommett as singer Olly Murs
Harry was the host of his ITV show Harry Hill’s TV Burp, and has also served as the narrator for You’ve Been Frame from 2004 until 2022.
And since 2019, he has reached a new generation as the host of Channel 4 Great British Bake Off spin-off series Junior Bake Off.
Earlier in the episode, viewers finally got to see the identity of ‘double agent’ Mole Dommett, whose job was to sneak viewers clues on the contestants in their VTs.
After his late entry into the competition, Mole was finally unmasked as The X Factor star Olly Murs – before he took his place alongside Davina McCall, Maya Jama, Jonathan Ross and Mo Gilligan on the judging panel.
However fans had a bone to pick with producers as they were only given one hint at Mole’s identity – a nod to his 2014 track Wrapped Up.
