In their first performance for week one, Cat and Mouse gave their own rendition of Anything You Can I Do (I Can Do Better) by Irving Berlin.
Who are Cat and Mouse?
The clues revealed in the first episode included the number 200,000,000 written on a notepad.
Cat said he was “no stranger to legalities” and liked to “get to the bottom of cases”, as well as knowing “how to spin a tale”. The VT also showed five different jars of spices lined up.

Gilligan thought Cat and Mouse were comedy pair David Walliams and Matt Lucas, while Ora believed McFly star Tom Fletcher and his wife Giovanna were hiding behind the animalistic masks.

Mo Gilligan guessed Line of Duty stars Martin Compston and Vicky McClure. Davina McCall guessed Buffy the Vampire Slayer stars Sarah Michelle Gellar and Anthony Michael Head. Rita Ora thought it could be David Walliams and Amanda Holden.
