January 20th 2024.
Everyone was caught off guard by the latest reveal on The Masked Singer. Bubble Tea, one of the contestants, was unmasked and to everyone's surprise, it was the legendary Julia Sawalha, best known for her role in Absolutely Fabulous. The audience was in for a treat as the sing-off between Bubble Tea and Owl had them performing Chirpy Chirpy Cheep by Middle Of The Road and Le Freak by Chic, respectively.
The panel of judges, which included special guest judge Jennifer Saunders, who coincidentally played Julia's on-screen mother in Absolutely Fabulous, was shocked to see her unmasked. Before the big reveal, host Joel shared a clue in the form of a lunchbox with two hens on ice skates, a reference to Julia's role in Chicken Run. Jennifer couldn't contain her excitement and ran down from her podium to give Julia a hug.
With a big grin on her face, Julia admitted that she thought the judges would guess her identity right away. She explained that she took on the challenge of The Masked Singer because she wanted to step out of her comfort zone and do something that terrified her. The panel's guesses, which ranged from Hannah Waddingham to Bubble, were hilarious according to Julia. She gave them credit for getting close and said they did fairly well.
The studio audience saved Airfryer, Piranha, and Eiffel Tower, who will continue to compete in the fifth series of The Masked Singer. In the previous weeks, we have seen Dionne Warwick unmasked as Weather, Alexander Armstrong as Chicken Caesar, and Shirley Ballas as Rat. And now, Julia joins the list as Bubble Tea. Who will shock us next week?
