LOOSE Women’s Gloria Hunniford was revealed as the latest star hidden in an elaborate outfit on The Masked Singer last night.
The television veteran, 81, took off her Snow Leopard suit and left the jury stunned, including Jonathan Ross who correctly guessed his identity.
Davina McCall said she didn’t think it would be Gloria as she had to be assisted on stage by security guards. Gloria said: “Did I look like 102? I started singing when I was seven, I hate to tell you it was before television. I haven’t sung for something like 27 years.
When asked what the clue on the water was about, she replied, “I can’t swim.” Gloria, born in Northern Ireland, became the second star in the ITV series to be unmasked after the Saturday night show in which Chandelier was revealed as Heather Small, 56, singer of M People.
The London-born singer had put on a false accent when she performed to confuse viewers. Heather added that she even lied to her own mother about her involvement.
The jury – Rita Ora, Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross and Mo Gilligan – had no idea who she was. They thought it might have been Steps singer Claire Richards, 44, Rachel Riley, 35, a countdown math expert, or even magician’s assistant Debbie McGee, 63. .
Rita made the most bizarre guesses. She thinks Mushroom is the megastar Sia, 46, and Robobunny is Tesla CEO Elon Musk, 50. Jonathan thinks Donuts is Tyson Fury, 33, and Mo thinks Mushroom is activist Greta Thunberg, 19.
But fans are trying to piece together the clues to name the ten remaining mystery contestants. We’ve compiled the video tips and other tips so far, along with the judges’ guesses. See if you can figure out who the stars are behind the masks. . .
