Fans believe Bon Jovi guitarist and singer Richie Sambora is actually behind the mask. Taking to Twitter, viewers shared their thoughts. One viewer wrote: "OK, I’m sold - Jacket Potato is Richie Sambora from Bon Jovi! His totaliser was “whoaaaa, halfway there!” and he’s “used to being the foil”."

Katherine Ryan was unmasked as Pigeon on Saturday night's show. The 39-year-old comedian and actress ended up in the bottom two during Saturday night’s show alongside Jacket Potato, following a vote by the studio audience.
After deliberating, the judges decided to unmask Pigeon and offered their final guess of who the character could be – with suggestions including actress Liza Tarbuck, model Jodie Kidd, Loose Women’s Nadia Sawalha and actress Emily Atack.
Katherine earned additional praise from the judging panel – consisting of Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan, Jonathan Ross and Rita Ora – after sharing that she was heavily pregnant during her performances.
Katherine, who is just one month away from giving birth at the time of filming, told host Joel Dommett: "I have a month left. I have a baby's foot in my lung at most times."
