Confirmed for the latest lineup on Saturday night were Air Fryer, Bubble Tea, Owl, Eiffel Tower, Chicken Caesar and Piranha.
During the latest episode, Air Fryer went up against Bubble Tea, before dropping a collection of clues. Air Fryer appeared to hint at a judging role on television, as well as sparkles, which the judges pointed out could be a link to Strictly Come Dancing.
Taking to Twitter, now X, viewers were convinced that Air Fryer could be Alison Hammond as the This Morning star is a judge on The Great British Bake Off. Alison, 48, also appeared on Strictly in 2014 and The Masked Singer: I'm a Celebrity Special in 2022.

She then shared her joy at being asked to do the series but admitted the struggles she faced trying to disguise her voice on the show.
Meanwhile, host Joel Dommett couldn’t wait for the show to start and previously said: "Honestly, they are the best costumes ever. If they don’t make you smile, well, get out! Air Fryer is unbelievably silly. It's so liberating to be a part of a show where first of all, people really enjoy it and also from my point of view, any idea I have, it's fair game. Even when it comes to the suits!
