Nearly five million of us have become utterly captivated by the weird and wonderful world of ITV’s new Saturday night sensation The Masked Singer. As an array of characters – including a brightly-coloured Octopus, a very well-dressed Hedgehog and an elegant Queen Bee – have taken to the stage each week to showcase their vocal talents, we’ve questioned, discussed and debated (often at great length!) which celebrities might be hiding underneath those incredible costumes.
Among those already ‘unmasked’ are ex-EastEnders star Patsy Palmer, US singer-songwriter Kelis and former footballer Teddy Sheringham. And this weekend, excitement levels are set to reach fever pitch as they perform again before panellists Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall, Ken Jeong and Rita Ora in the final, which will see the remaining three celebs finally revealed.
Here, Jonathan, 59, chats to TV Times about the secrets of the show’s success, his dream costume, and why the final definitely won’t disappoint fans…
We’re all totally hooked on The Masked Singer! Why is it so addictive?
Well, at the heart of this show is a fun mystery. We all love a mystery and we’ve all been trying to work it out. If you do get it right, you can tell everyone you nailed it. But, if you get it wrong, hopefully it’s still fun because you’re surprised at who the celebrity is and you’re trying to work out why you went down a different path.
The production of the show is great and the costumes themselves are amazing. Then last – and absolutely least! – are us panellists, who hopefully add a certain amount of humour to the show as well.
