One wrote: "I think it’s Reggie Yates they mentioned a mouse…he voiced Rastamouse."

Another simply stated: "Reggie Yates."
From presenting documentaries to writing his own TV drama, Reggie is a serious screen star.
From 1998, his long-running presenting relationship with Fearne Cotton began as they both appeared in GMTV show The Disney Club and then Diggit on CITV.
In 2012 and 2013, he ditched Fearne for her Holly Willoughby, to co-host The Voice.

Reggie also wrote a one-off drama for BBC called Make Me Famous, which focused on the impact and consequences of the quick rise to fame that comes with being a reality TV star.
It comes after the green character has dropped a number of clues, leading some to think it could be boxer Anthony Joshua under the mask.
One fan pointed out the four signs it is him, revealing: “Anthony Joshua who loves cricket; his management team have ventured into professional cycling; he's pals with Dizzee Rascal; he's 6'5 and he can sing!”
The panel have been divided about his identity, and previously guessed it was Blue singer Simon Webbe.
