The Masked Singer UK 2024 returned as twelve mystery celebrities took to the stage wearing utterly bonkers costumes to disguise their identity.

The 12 brand-new outrageous characters looked crazier than ever, and one costume who was the second to be unmasked was Chicken Caesar.

Let's see who was under Chicken Caesar's mask...

Pointless host and comedian Alexander Armstrong was revealed to be behind Chicken Caesar's costume.

Talking about taking part in the show, he said: "I've been longing to do it, every year I'm always getting messages saying are you so and so? Are you Traffic Cone? And I say maybe! I've loved it, it's the beginning of the journey and the end of the journey but what a journey it's been!"

Mo Gilligan guessed Geoff Hurst, Davina McCall said Robbie Williams, Rita Ora suggested Alan Shearer and Jonathan Ross went for Chris Ramsey.

Who is Chicken Caesar 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?

Chicken Caesar's first clue was: "I'm Chicken Caesar! It's great to be here" and their description was: "Ready to take it to the maximus."

This one truly had us stumped! We thought that this description could be talking about the character Maximus in Gladiator and that they could be an actor who played a historical figure or appeared in several historical TV shows or movies. 

We were nearly there with our guess given that Alexander Armstrong made a cameo in Horrible Histories: The Movie as Procurator Catus Decianus!

Who is Chicken Caesar in The Masked Singer UK 2024? Costume clues...

Chicken Caesar is a brown chicken dressed as a Roman warrior and has been decorated with Caesar salad elements. They are wearing a gold chest plate and a red cape, with lettuce leaves for a crown and skirt. Chicken Caesar also has croutons as shoulder pads and a sliced egg belt across their waist.

With the costume decorated with food, it was possible that Chicken Caesar may have been a chef or worked in the culinary world. 

The Roman warrior uniform is a play on notorious Roman dictator Julius Caesar, so we believed that the masked celebrity could have been a historian or have an avid interest in history?

And we were right with this one as Alexander presented the TV documentary Rome's Invisible City.

All episodes of The Masked Singer UK 2024 are available to watch on ITVX.
