UPDATE: In a stunning twist on The Masked Singer last night, BBC star Alex Jones was the first contestant eliminated from the new series, shocking both the panel and viewers alike. The revelation unfolded on October 14, 2023, as the popular ITV show kicked off its seventh season, leaving fans and judges gobsmacked.
The show, which has captivated audiences since its launch in 2020, features celebrities performing in elaborate disguises, with viewers guessing their identities each week. Last night, the competition heated up as Disc Jockey performed Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club,” but none of the panelists could anticipate that the identity behind the mask was the beloved presenter of The One Show.
Judges Mo Gilligan, Jonathan Ross, and Maya Jama offered a variety of guesses, with Mo suggesting Annie Mac and Jonathan leaning towards Sara Cox. Maya took a bold turn, guessing 80s icon Bonnie Tyler. However, all were left stunned when Alex Jones unmasked herself after losing to the character Gargoyle in the first elimination of the season.
Following her reveal, Alex expressed her own disbelief, stating, “I never would have guessed it was me either.” The clues provided throughout her performance, including a nod to Jonathan Ross and references to her past challenges for Comic Relief, all tied back to her career, but the panel missed the mark entirely.
The stakes are high as The Masked Singer continues to draw millions of viewers each week. As the competition progresses, fans are eager to see who will be next to don the mask and perform. With each episode, the excitement builds, making it a must-watch event on Saturday nights.
