Recently, there has been some buzz surrounding the early departure of Dionne Warwick from The Masked Singer. The legendary artist, who was disguised as 'Weather', was eliminated after just one performance. This caused some viewer complaints and raised questions as to why such a renowned artist was sent home so soon.
It all came down to a decision made by the panel of judges, consisting of Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan, Charlie Simpson, and Jonathan Ross. After being in the bottom two alongside Dippy Egg and Maypole, the judges ultimately decided to axe Weather, who was then revealed to be 83-year-old Dionne Warwick. And yes, the judges had guessed correctly, which played a part in their decision to eliminate her.
Davina, who also happens to be 56 years old, felt the need to explain their reasoning behind the decision on This Morning. Host Dermot O'Leary had expressed shock at Dionne's departure, saying, "Dionne Warwick is out? What?" To which Davina replied, "Can I explain why? Dermot, this is a guessing game, and when she opened her mouth we went 'It's Dionne Warwick'. She didn't try to hide it, you can't hide it." She also added, "Also, once we've all got it, it's a bit 'Where do we go from here?'"
But Dionne wasn't the only one to leave the competition. In week two, Pointless host and ClassicFM radio DJ Alexander Armstrong, who was disguised as Chicken Caesar, was also eliminated. Now, only ten celebrities remain in the competition, all donning elaborate costumes to keep their identities a secret. These include Owl, Rat, Cricket, Piranha, Eiffel Tower, Maypole, Bigfoot, Dippy Egg, Bubble Tea, and Air Fryer.
For those who may not be familiar with the show, the concept is simple - various celebrities compete anonymously while hiding behind masks. And one of the most exciting parts of the show is the big reveal of the eliminated contestants. Their masks come off, and we finally get to see if our predictions were correct.
During the interview on This Morning, Davina used the opportunity to convince host Dermot, who is 50 years old, to participate in the show's next series. She asked him, "Dermot, would you ever do it?" To which Dermot replied, "I don't know. It's not a no..." It seems like he's open to the idea, so who knows, we might see him on the show in the future.
Davina even pretended to call the Masked Singer bosses while speaking into a fake phone, saying, "Ring Dermot now, I think he might do it!" With such an entertaining and captivating show, it's no surprise that Davina wants Dermot to be a part of it.
This Morning airs on ITV1 from Monday to Friday at 10 am, while The Masked Singer continues on Saturdays at 7 pm on both ITV1 and ITVX.
