It came as Davina McCall came second as she stunned the panel by revealing she was the person hiding in the Star costume.

She managed to fool the panellists, who thought she had sat out the special entirely.

French and Saunders were in as guest panellists instead.

Joel even joked earlier in the episode that Davina had been texting him all day saying she had a bad tummy.

But while Davina played a blinder, it wasn't enough to beat Holly's Nutcracker.

"I've enjoyed performing, I don't ever have to do panto now," Holly said after he was unmasked.

He also made a gag about "cracking Joel's nuts" after playing the Nutcracker.

Frankie Goes to Hollywood sprung onto the scene in 1980.

They were made up of Holly, Paul Rutherford, Mark O'Toole, Brian Nash and Peter Gill.
