Witchetty Grub
The Masked Singer characters were all Aussie animals, many of which regularly double as food in the show's various challenges.
Witchetty Grub was first up in a head-to-head with Koala.
The clues included a heart painted on a rock, Strictly and having an eye for talent.
Singing M People's Moving On Up, the grub lost out in the audience vote but not before the judges had guessed Kim Woodburn, Carol Vorderman, Lisa Snowdon, and Gemma Collins.

Before being unmasked, Jonathan Ross changed his guess to Katie Price, but he along with the other three judges - Rita Ora, Mo Gilligan, and Davina McCall - were wide of the mark.
Pulling off their Witchetty Grub head, the celebrity was revealed to be This Morning host Alison Hammond.
She participated on I'm A Celeb as a late contestant in 2010.
Alison explained the heart and rock pointed to her "marriage" to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
The letters COACH which were spelled out in the VT referred to her appearance on Coach Trip, Strictly speaking was a nod to being on Strictly, and an eye for talent was a clue to her first finding fame on The X Factor.
Cockroach
Scurrying into the spotlight was Cockroach.
For their wacky costume, they chose a suit of armour.
Fans thought this could be a nod to the fact that they "went to battle" on I'm A Celebrity, and may have been someone who was often in campfire arguments.
After dropping clues to rugby and being compared to a sporting legend, the judges were leaning towards someone with athletic prowess.
However, the fabulous voice pointed to someone in the entertainment industry as they performed Go The Distance from Disney's Hercules.
Davina correctly guessed it was a singing superstar.
Her fellow judges selected Timmy Mallett, James Haskell, and Roman Kemp.
But after losing out in his head-to-head with Kangaroo, Davina was proved right when Cockroach was unmasked as 2020 campmate Russell Watson.
The rugby connection was a link to him performing at the rugby world cup in 1999, and the sporting link was in relation to a journalist pointing out he'd performed at Wembley more times than David Beckham.
The classical singer was fifth to be eliminated from the Welsh Castle.
Kangaroo
Leaping on to the stage was Kangaroo.
Kangaroo saw off the challenge of Cockroach performing Zara Larsson's Lush Life.
The clues of "presenting my opinion" and being able to "spot talent" saw the judges guess Stacey Solomon, Scarlett Moffatt, Ruthie Henshall, and Arlene Phillips.
In her second performance Kangaroo performed I Just Got Paid by Ella Eyre, Meghan Trainor, and Sigala.
Kangaroo - who came in second - was then unveiled to be X Factor legend Sinitta, with a particular clue of a bay leaf giving her away to Rita because of her infamous palm leaf outfit.
Despite Rita naming Sinitta, she changed her mind with her final guess and reverted to Ruthie Henshall.
"Presenting my opinion" was a clue to her role on Loose Women while spotting talent referred to her helping Simon Cowell on The X Factor.
Sinitta appeared in the jungle in 2011 and came in 11th place.
Koala
The biggest shock of the night was when Koala - who was wearing a pink tutu and a tiara - was unmasked.
Koala defeated Witchetty Grab in the first round after singing Take That's Relight My Fire.
After also showing off some cool moves with their singing, early guesses included Jordan Banjo, Jake Quickenden, Jason Donovan, and Nick Knowles.
Jonathan even threw in a wild guess of former MP Christine Hamilton.
Clues referenced starting with a K, a koala tea party for four, an English breakfast, and two red Xs.
After beating Witchetty Grub, Koala then went head-to-head with the second finalist Kangaroo and performed If I Can Dream by Elvis Presley.
The names Neil "Razor" Ruddock was thrown into the mix along with Caitlyn Jenner, but they were nowhere near the identity of the masked critter.
After being crowned the winner of the show, Koala lifted their mask to reveal TV host Vernon Kay.
Vernon revealed the K clue was a hint to his surname, with the tea party for four pointing to his stint on T4.
The English breakfast was a link to his appearance as model of the week on The Big Breakfast, while the Xs were a clue to his role as host of Family Fortunes.
Vernon appeared on I'm A Celeb during the pandemic - having to brave the cold in Wales in 2020.
He finished third in the first ever castle series.
Who are the judges on The Masked Singer I'm A Celebrity special?
It falls on the judging panel to guess who is underneath the masks.

Were there Bushtucker Trials?
