Davina McCall has admitted she stormed off stage after failing to identify one of her close friends during a taping for the new series of The Masked Singer.
The celebrity guessing game leaves viewers scratching their heads, but Davina says this year the panel were “kicking themselves”.
Davina, 56, will return as a detective on the ITV show this weekend. And one celebrity reveal in particular had Davina and her co-stars Mo Gilligan, Rita Ora and Jonathan Ross in shock.
The presenter has teased the upcoming series, which is said to feature “the best voice” the show has had.
‘Embarrassing’ reveal leads to show storm off
Being careful to not let slip the identity of the mystery celeb, Davina said: “I just couldn’t help myself storming off when I saw who the person was.
“There have been many people on the show who I have met in passing, but this was a real friend, someone I have known for years.
“It’s embarrassing. It was, I think, the greatest surprise I’ve ever had,” she told The Sun.
This year’s line-up of celebrities will be disguised as the Eiffel Tower, a Dippy Egg, and even an Air Fryer.
