The Masked Singer: ‘It ruins it’ Denise Van Outen reveals challenges of competing in show

The Masked Singer viewers don’t have too wait to much longer before they find out the last remaining identities of the finalists. Octopus, Hedgehog and Queen Bee will perform for the last time this weekend and the mysterious celebrities hiding behind the masks will be able to speak freely about their time on the competition for the first time when the ITV series comes to a close.

Denise Van Outen and CeeLo Green were revealed to be Fox and Monster respectively in last week’s semi-finals.

Fox star Denise spoke to the press, including Express.co.uk, about her time on the show and the difficulties she faced.

All of the celebrities that take part are sworn to secrecy until they are eliminated from the competition. 

The stage performer admitted keeping her secret identity was a “challenge” and she was afraid she’d “ruin” the show.

Denise confessed: “I think there’s two challenges you have to overcome.

“First one is making sure you don’t say anything to people because obviously it ruins the show for everybody.”

She continued: “[The] second one is trying to disguise your identity by how you sing and move which is really hard.”

Denise explained she became aware there were certain mannerisms that would give her away to her partner Eddie Boxshall.

She said: “What you realise is there were certain, especially for me with my costume because I could move in mine there would be certain mannerisms or certain poses that I would do [that would give me away].

“My other half was like ‘I thought it was you because of the way you stand with your leg’.”

“Things like that you have to be aware of,” she added.

Meanwhile, Denise has revealed she’s being playing detective alongside viewers watching the show at home.

During an appearance on Loose Women, Denise told the panel she’s convinced Queen Bee is a member of Little Mix.

Explaining her decision, she told Express.co.uk: “Because I think it’s a young performer I think the voice is obviously really good and I’ve heard Little Mix live and they can all sing really well.

“I think that’s what people have to understand on that show you only do your performance once the sound is exactly what comes out through the mic.”

“If someone wasn’t a good singer you would hear it,” she added.

When pressed to choose one of the singers, Denise remarked: “I would say it’s Jade [Thirwall].”

Sharing her other predictions, she said: “I think Octopus is Charlotte Church or Katherine Jenkins because it’s a very operatic sound.”

“Again knowing that the show is completely live it’s not something that has been prerecorded.”

“Whoever is under that costume has an amazing voice and amazing range.”

The Masked Singer continues Saturday on ITV at 7pm.
