Drag star Panti Bliss, soprano Celine Byrne and The Masked Singer presenter Joel Dommett all agree to be asked absolutely anything.
First up, it’s Panti Bliss, who reveals how the title of Queen of Ireland should come with a warning on what people may confess in her presence, as well as her meeting with pop superstar Madonna.
Next up is prima donna and voice of an angel, soprano supreme Celine Byrne (below).
From hauling turf to haute couture, she talks topless performances, performing for Cartier in her Newbridge Silverware, and the importance of knowing the difference between a Magnum and a magnum.
And joining Panti and Celine as Angela's final guest is comedian and presenter Joel Dimmett.
The Masked Singer presenter lets loose, showing exactly what his nipples can do, how an emoji in his DM’s led to a ring on his finger and how I’m A Celebrity . . . made him, well, a celebrity.
