  • When Chameleon finds himself in the bottom two, he sings a heartfelt version of "True Colors" that moves the judges and even nearly brings Davina to tears. Poor Chameleon looks like he's weeping inside his mask at the end too. Sadly, he ends up getting unmasked.
  • Similarly, in the second series Grandfather Clock ends up in the bottom two and sings "Can't Smile Without You". He is also unmasked.
  • In the third series, Rockhopper is devastated when she loses the first round to Traffic Cone, to the point where Joel had to comfort her with some assurance that she could still go through to the next round - which, ultimately, she does.
    • Becomes worse when you realize that Rockhopper is Michelle Williams. Chances are she was having flashbacks to her lost to Thingamajig from the US version.
  • Fawn’s version of “Tomorrow” from Annie in Series four had half the panel tearing up.
  • In the fifth series, Dippy Egg's rendition of "Moon River" has Jonathan admitting he never thought he'd be moved to tears by a singing egg. When he reprises the song after being unmasked, he ends up crying himself.
  • Cricket and Piranha's semi-final performances both have Rita in tears.
  • It's brief, but when it turns out that Air Fryer will be the first to be unmasked in the semi-final, her usually happy face turns into a sad one. Not helped by the fact that the panel were surprised she wasn't going through.
