Harriet Rose, the rising TV presenter, is set to host the first spin-off show for The Masked Singer UK. If you are not familiar with Harriet yet, it's about time you learn about her because she is on her way to becoming a big name in the industry. Harriet's determination to bring fun to any situation and her ability to make anyone, from Stormzy to Dakota Johnson, laugh with her questions, has helped her climb the ladder of success. She went from recording interviews with her musician friends on an iPad and posting them herself to landing a job with ITV. Now, at 35 years old, she is taking on what could possibly be the biggest job of her career so far as the host of The Masked Singer UK's first spin-off show, After Mask.
After Mask will feature interviews with the unmasked celebrities from the main show. Harriet is honored to have been given this opportunity and sees it as a chance to represent the LGBTQ+ community. In an interview with Metro, she expressed her gratitude for being able to be openly gay in mainstream media and to have such a platform. She hopes to be the representation that she wished she had seen 10 years ago. Harriet, who identifies as a femme lesbian, recalls looking up to icons such as Sue Perkins but not feeling completely represented. She came out at the age of 23 and wonders if seeing someone like herself on TV could have helped her accept her identity sooner.
Harriet's main job is hosting the Breakfast show on Kiss Radio with Jordan Banjo and Perri Kiely. She takes pride in being a representation for those who may not have seen themselves on TV before. She hopes that parents of LGBTQ+ children will tune in and see how normal and accepted their child's identity is. This is why she often talks about her sexual identity while on the radio, presenting it in a humorous way but also acknowledging the dark reality that not everyone has the same privilege to speak openly about their identity.
Harriet's celebrity interviews are known for their chaotic energy, and she has a special talent for making even the biggest stars feel at ease. She credits her ADHD for her ability to think quickly and treat everyone as equals, no matter their status. Her unique personality and perspective have helped her reach this point in her career, but it hasn't been easy. She has had to make many sacrifices and has even considered quitting after being rejected from a major job opportunity. However, with the support of her therapist, she realized the importance of being grateful for what she has and moved on.
As the host of After Mask, Harriet is now responsible for keeping the biggest secret in TV - the identities of the masked celebrities. She has already seen the pre-recorded episodes for January and is doing everything in her power to maintain the mystery and excitement of the show. She purposely slows down her speaking pace when the subject comes up to avoid accidentally revealing any spoilers.
Apart from her hosting duties, Harriet is also working on her own documentary about queerness and is in talks for a possible Netflix show. With her rising popularity and success, she may soon have to don one of the famous costumes to go grocery shopping without being recognized. The After Mask show will be available on ITVX and YouTube right after the main show, which airs on January 4th at 7pm. If you have a celebrity story to share, you can contact Harriet and her team through email, phone, or by visiting their website. They would love to hear from you!
