The Masked Singer UK 2025 is heating up as we approach the final, and the contestants are dropping like flies. This weekend, there was a double unmasking and the audience was shocked to discover that Kingfisher was actually the talented Sir Grayson Perry. The judges, who had previously guessed You've Been Framed legend Harry Hill, comedian Bob Mortimer, and Joe Lycett, were also taken aback by the reveal. Some even jokingly suggested that Simon Cowell could be under the mask!
But when Sir Grayson removed his elaborate costume and revealed his curly mop of hair, everyone was in disbelief. Davina McCall even fell back in her seat, unable to process what had just happened. "Grayson Perry was behind Kingfisher all along!" exclaimed one of the judges.
It turns out that Sir Grayson, an artist known for his vibrant ceramic vases and tapestries, had been dropping subtle clues about his true identity throughout the competition. References to "style" and his cross-dressing alter ego, Claire, were hints to his work and personal life. He has also been featured in TV documentaries, hosted art exhibitions, and written two autobiographies. In 2023, he even received a knighthood for his contributions to the art world.
Viewers took to social media to express their shock and admiration for Sir Grayson's performance. Some even admitted that they had been fooled, with one jokingly saying "I'm still not convinced that Kingfisher wasn't Harry Hill." But Sir Grayson himself was a good sport about the whole thing, admitting that he had played up his impression of Harry Hill for fun.
In a post-show Q&A, Sir Grayson revealed that he was "gutted" to be eliminated before the semi-final. He had two emotional songs planned, including "Feed the Birds" from Mary Poppins and "Stick Season" by Noah Kahan. But now he joins the ranks of other talented celebrities who have been unmasked on the show, such as Kate Garraway, Dame Prue Leith, Macy Gray, Carol Decker, and Mel Giedroyc.
As for the remaining contestants, Bush, Wolf, Bear, Dressed Crab, and Pufferfish will continue to compete for the top spot. But unfortunately, Snail will not be joining them in the semi-final, as she was also unmasked this weekend as The Corrs musician Andrea Corrs. The judges were once again surprised, as they had failed to guess her identity.
