Who did she think she is a kind of 80s superstar
0:03
Just a week ago, she was the latest celebrity to be our mast on the masked
0:08
As Tartou, it is such a pleasure to welcome from Tepau. Is Carol Decker morning
0:13
Morning, I'm still crying. You're very upset. Oh, I mean, you, I could tell you were gutted watching it
0:19
It was the thing that you didn't want to leave. But look, here's the thing. Congratulations on it
0:23
Because Joel Dommitt said, he said something like that was the best sing-off in six series
0:29
He needs to get out, Mould. No, but you think of them... Apparently it was, I wouldn't know, yeah. And we still don't know who dressed crab is
0:35
No. But... Big unit. Great voice. And you both sounded amazing. So, I mean, congratulations on..
0:41
Thank you. Getting that accolade, as it were. But also, your performances throughout, I thought, were just really, really strong
0:46
So it was a shock that you were in that final two. It was, but we've had many conversations now subsequently with family and friends
0:53
and even with the team involved in the show. And it's... I can steal your line, so it's a guessing
0:59
game not a singing competition because when you in the studio it very family the studio audience who do the voting and it very pantom lots of children Okay So I think it not just how you sing it the visuals
1:12
So if you think, you know, dress crab is massive thing with these huge claws and then the wind-up teeth that you get in a Christmas cracker, you know, teeth
1:22
And I think the kids go for stuff like that. So many a fine singer has been booted off quite early because it's the visuals and the
1:32
character and you just don't know because I was I've got to say very happy with my performances
1:38
well I was watching your performances back so you did murder on the dance floor you did killers
1:43
which sounded incredible your Tina Turner song at the end thank you was phenomenal so I mean
1:48
you ended on a high I did that's for sure yeah talk me through this because I love this whole
1:53
behind the scene stuff so you get the phone call yeah to take part and you say yes and I guess
1:58
at that point no I'd say how much okay then when I finally agree that
2:03
You go, and your lips are sealed. You cannot tell anyone? Well you have to tell some key people in your life So I tell my husband obviously and my eldest child Scarlett Didn tell my son who 22 and he was mortally offended Why did I not get to find out I know when he works in a bar you know
2:19
Oh, okay. Yeah. And then when you actually get to the studio and you start filming the thing
2:23
I mean, the security is, well, it's well known that it is so tight on that show
2:29
So how does it work? When you're driving in, for example, can you, do you have to keep your head down in the car
2:34
What's the deal? I don't do that anymore. Okay. You get sent an answer
2:39
outfit, right. So you get, you can pick your own trousers, but they've got to be black
2:43
your own boots or shoes, but you can't show any flesh. So I had, I've got black biker boots and all
2:48
those. Then you've got a massive hoodie, two big hoodies really oversized because they don't
2:55
even want you to give away your shape. And the hoodie says, don't speak to me. Right
3:00
And you have balaclava gloves. And under balaclava also has a visor. And then they test you under
3:08
lights like we've got here and if the light goes through your visor because you walk
3:13
all around the studio in this stuff as well they then put loads of masking tape in my visor so that all I had was my eyes because now you in the the lights everyone can see your hair And not everyone necessarily a singer of course You know So the security off the scale
3:27
So you drive a picture up. All the drivers have to sign NDAs. Because I was asking the producers, you know, how does it work
3:35
And they use the same companies all the time, so they've got that confidence, you know. And you're in all your gear
3:40
And they say, hide yourself from your neighbours. What? Your neighbour will be going, why has she got a balaclava on
3:45
and I don't speak to the T-shirt. She's very rude, is Carol? She's very..
3:49
Who does she think she is? Some kind of 80s superstar. Yeah. What a strange environment to be
3:55
And then you will. You've got your dressing room. And then you've got your quick change tent behind the set
4:01
Okay. And you will see other contestants coming and going in the corridors
4:06
all dress the same, slightly different heights, widths and seen at all
4:11
And I guess you don't... To this day, you won't know who the other people are. I don't
4:14
I have no idea. literally it's it's as fascinating for me as it is for everybody else
4:20
this is hard
