The Masked Singer: home to wild and wacky costumes and questionable singing saw an average audience of 642,000 viewers, with an average of 760,000 viewers for the first celebrity reveal. Drum roll please….it was Vinnie Jones!

Yes, acting star of X-Men, She’s The Man and Snatch, and football star for Chelsea and Leeds United.

He sang I’m Gonna Be by The Proclaimers dressed as a big volcano. Iconic!

Seven also launched SAS Australia, which had an average viewership of 647,000 viewers, putting it in the middle of The Masked Singer‘s reveal and the rest of the episode. The episode saw the competing celebrities get tear gassed (yes, you read that right! This is no mere Big Brother challenge!), strip to their undies, and also do some monkey bars.
