‘As soon as your mask goes on something takes over and that’s it you’re a whole different… I was about to say person but, yeah, you’re the furthest thing from being a person on this show!’

Joking about the judges and their guesses over Robin’s identity, Aston quipped: ‘Some of their guesses were very flattering and some I was very confused at! The panel are a great bunch and they bring great energy.’
