It's great being out in nature. What mores could you want? Just marvel at those views. I've got a whole cast of friends out here. Hello, birds. Hello, rocks. Hello, hills and stream.

It doesn't matter if it's not perfect if everybody is having fun. Act your age not your shoe size unless your feet are as big as mine! Here's hoping I can knock your sock off tonight."

Bigfoot's back all right, and I'm having a ball. You might be surprised to know your furry friend loves being part of a pack #squadgoals. But I'm a good sport. And even when I'm out there alone...that stage feels a lot like home. Whoops-a-daisy. I better be careful...or it could cost-a my place in the competition.

It's so much fun, fielding guesses left, back and forward. I'm friendly as well as furry, more than one member of the panel knows that. They should have a sporting chance of working out who I am, as long as they don't leap to conclusions. I'm enjoying myself too much, pottering about on that stage. You'll have to get a tow truck to get rid of this Bigfoot."

I'm no stranger to winning big. Too righty! But I have been second place to the main event before. Is it okay to start celebrating now? Is winning this show a bridge too far? I only hope tonight's performance is as big as my foot!"
Bedtime story clue: David Tennant reads, "Once upon a time, in the snowy mountains, there lived Bigfoot. Bigfoot loved playing in the forest with his friends, but there was one thing that scared him most - swimming. Every time his friends invited him to dip his big toes into the river, Bigfoot would politely decline. 'I'm sorry, but I'm just too scared to swim.' One day, Bigfoot decided it was time to face his fears. Taking a deep breath, he stepped into the water. As he splashed around, he realised that swimming wasn't so scary after all. From that day forward, Bigfoot joined his friends for their daily swim - diving and splashing with joy, proving that sometimes, facing our fears can lead to the most wonderful adventures. The end."
Clue-se Mourini-clue: Joel Dommett dressed as a football manager giving Bigfoot a pep talk in the changing room. With binoculars in hand, Bigfoot said: "The panel came close to scoring early on, but luckily their guesses were way offside [Mo guessing Adam Hills]. And did you see it when I blocked their attempted goal with this clue? [trap] Even Cantona couldn't have confused them as much as I did with this. I thought they'd score with this clue [inflatable unicorn], but I managed to scissor kick them into the corner. I'm telling you, gaffer, the panel haven't got a clue who's behind the mask. Isn't 100% the highest you can go?"

Who is Bigfoot in The Masked Singer UK 2024? First clue...
For the first time in Masked Singer history, we heard from each of the characters ahead of the show's launch. Were there any cryptic clues hidden within their opening statements?
Bigfoot's first clue was: "Bigfoot just wants to have a good time and for the audience to have a good time!" and their description was: "Things are about to get hairy."
One of our thought was that this celebrity could have had a well-known catchphrase they used to entertain the audience? Strictly Come Dancing host Tess Daly still uses the late Sir Bruce Forsyth's iconic catchphrase where they encourage the audience to "Keeeep dancing!"
The enduring catchphrase continues to be used by Strictly now even after Bruce's passing, with Tess and her new partner Claudia Winkleman saying it at the end of every show.
Could this have been a hint to the synonymous Strictly catchphrase she says?
The person under the costume was Alex Brooker, so we were wrong with our guesses!
Who is Bigfoot in The Masked Singer UK 2024? Costume clues...
Bigfoot is a brown and hairy sasquatch-like creature with purple lines across their body, along with purple paws and toes. They also have a cast on their leg and walk with a crutch. In week three, Bigfoot was seen wearing a purple bowtie.
What probably had us confused the most were the random purple lines across Bigfoot's body. Could they have had a meaning to the celebrity?
During his stint on I'm A Celebrity 2023, former politician Nigel Farage continuously listed off near-death incidents that happened to him throughout his life, including being run over and being in a plane crash. Could that have been one reason behind Bigfoot's broken foot by hinting at Nigel's many casualties?
He's already had viewers baffled by being in the jungle, but could things have taken an even weirder turn when he turns up as Bigfoot in The Masked Singer?
Our guess was way off once again as it turned out to be Alex Brooker behind the mask.
All episodes of The Masked Singer UK 2024 are available to watch on ITVX.
