You don't have to sing, you just have to look horrified.""That's what we did and it was just really, really fun."She also revealed the heartwarming dedication that John Challis had put into learning the song especially for the episode and the sweet gift that she received after her appearance, saying: "His wife sent me video footage of him learning the song in his hotel room, which was very touching."Asked if she would ever consider making any further cameos on TV, there was one programme that the star revealed that she would love to appear in - The Masked Singer."I'd love to, but I haven't been asked," said Carol, adding: "I'm surprised I haven't been asked, but I haven't been approached yet.
