The Masked Singer has quickly gained the attention of ITV viewers who are currently participating in the country’s biggest game of Guess Who. Five celebrities have now been forced to remove the masks protecting their identities as fans continue to guess who could be behind the remaining costumes. However, it seems more celebrities could be signing up in the future as a show insider appeared to confirm a second series is on the cards.
Last night’s episode saw pop star Kelis stun fans after being unmasked as the fifth celebrity.
She was behind the Daisy costume and left the panel, along with viewers at home, gobsmacked by her revelation.
On why she decided to sign up to the show, she told the panel: “People have just been telling me my voice was distinct… I thought I would give it a go!”
So far, four more famous faces have been shown to viewers after their respective eliminations from the competition.
