THE MASKED SINGER
FINAL SATURDAY / ITV / 7PM / EP 8 of 8 / ENTERTAINMENT
For the past seven Saturday nights, Davina McCall’s mobile phone has been lighting up nonstop with messages from friends trying to gain insider insights about the identities of the secret celebrities on ITV’s The Masked Singer! However, always the consummate professional, the lovely panellist isn’t giving anything away…
‘The emoji I use most at the moment is the “Memoji” of me shrugging my shoulders,’ says Davina, 53, when she calls TV Times for an exclusive interview.
‘Come Saturday evening, and it starts literally at 10-past-seven, I get a barrage of texts from friends saying, “Is Badger so-and-so? Is Sausage so-and-so?” and I just send them back the Memoji shrug! I don’t know!’
The good news for Davina’s friends, along with the millions of other viewers hooked on the wonderfully bizarre contest, is that the remaining three characters will finally be unmasked in this weekend’s grand finale.
Here, Davina tells us why it’s set to be a showstopper, why she loves guessing correctly, and how her fellow panelists have boosted her confidence…
The Masked Singer is a ray of sunshine for many people in these uncertain times. How has season two been for you?
