Who is the mysterious Spag Bol? The popular guessing game show, The Masked Singer UK, has returned to our screens. And in the first episode, we were finally given the big reveal we've all been waiting for.
With Joel Dommett as the host, judges Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross, and Mo Gilligan were back on the panel for a new series. Joining them this season was Maya Jama, who came prepared with a notepad and pen as she took on the role of detective. She replaced Rita Ora, who is now a judge on the show's US version.
Last night, six characters took to the stage to perform: Dressed Crab, Kingfisher, Snail, Spag Bol, Tattoo, and Teeth. And after their performances, we were left scratching our heads, trying to figure out who could be hiding behind those elaborate masks.
But luckily, we didn't have to wait long to find out Spag Bol's true identity. They were the first contestant to be eliminated, meaning their mask was taken off. The judges saved Teeth, who was in the bottom two.
To the surprise of the audience and viewers at home, Spag Bol was revealed to be none other than Good Morning Britain's Kate Garraway. This was a major cliffhanger, as it was teased on Saturday night's episode.
Despite the judges' guesses of Judy Murray, Ruby Wax, and Julia Bradbury, it turns out the viewers were right all along. Many fans on social media had predicted Kate's identity from the first verse of her performance.
After being unmasked, Kate, who is 57 years old, joked about not being a singer and dissected some of the clues from her VT. The nail file in her first clue package referred to her hosting gig on Smooth Radio, and the riddle about her being from a "different camp" was a nod to her time on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
Joining the panel as a guest judge this weekend was Sir Mo Farah, who was also revealed to be Giant Joel during the Christmas special. After weeks of suspense, the Olympic legend was finally unmasked, wearing an eye-catching pink suit. Davina and Maya had guessed that Geordie duo Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly were behind the mask, but they were proved wrong.
In a post-unmasking Q&A, Kate laughed about her short time on the show, saying, "I can't sing, and I kept telling them that, and they said, 'It doesn't matter'." She also mentioned that being on the show was a "career highlight" for her.
The remaining five characters will continue to compete in the upcoming episodes, with the goal of fooling the judges even more. But Spag Bol and Giant Joel won't be forgotten, as they were the first two reveals of the season.
