The Masked Singer left viewers on the edge of their seats as the identity of two celebrities were revealed during Saturday’s double eviction.
Firstly Dippy Egg was unveiled as Nicky Campbell leaving judge and his Long lost Family co-host Davina McCall gobsmacked as she jumped from her seat and ran onto the stage for a hug.
Struggling to hold back tears she gushed: ‘This is the best surprise, better than any birthday. I love this man!’.
‘Nicky’s a friend, we’ve been working together for thirteen years and I can not believe I didn’t recognise your voice, I didn’t recognise your singing voice. I know your singing voice. This is insane!’.
Next Maypole was unmasked, after landing in the bottom two with Eiffel Tower, and turned out to be none other than Pussycat Doll Melody Thornton.
