The Masked Singer is hiding two HUGE stars no-one has guessed says Joel Dommett ahead of double-reveal tomorrow
THE Masked Singer is hiding two HUGE stars no-one has guessed yet ahead of a double-reveal tomorrow night.
The celebs unmasked so far have been pop stars Heather Small and Will Young, tennis champion Pat Cash, TV veteran Gloria Hunniford and rocker Tom Chaplin.
Judges and viewers have struggled to guess correctly this series, and presenter Joel Dommett admitted the clues this year have been extremely tough but insisted fans won’t be disappointed when the final characters are unmasked.
The 36-year-old told the Mirror: “Some people are saying online, and I think I agree, they have made it harder.
“Obviously on purpose, because in the last few series people were getting names maybe a little bit early.
“There are a few names that people are definitely not getting. I’m not seeing these names at all.
“The final is amazing and one of the names I am very excited about.”
Robobunny, Doughnuts, Traffic Cone, Mushroom, Rockhopper, Firework and Panda are all still on the show.
Keane frontman Tom was the latest star to be unmasked and was “overjoyed” at the reaction to his appearance.
The indie rock singer, 42, was revealed after he performed Natasha Bedingfield’s hit Unwritten.
He explained he had chosen to sing Unwritten because Keane had beaten Bedingfield to the 2005 Brit Award for best breakthrough act.
The judging panel on the show, made up of presenter Davina McCall, singer Rita Ora, broadcaster Jonathan Ross and comedian Mo Gilligan, did not guess his identity correctly with suggestions as to who he could be including singers Mika and Michael Buble and footballer Peter Crouch.

Bedingfield praised the performance, writing on Instagram: “Wow I love this version Tom! Never heard a voice quite like yours @tomchaplin.”
And the singer said that his Keane bandmates had been “very positive” but that they had “clocked me quite early on in the show”.
Keane was formed in 1995 and their hits include songs like Somewhere Only We Know and Everybody’s Changing.
In 2006 the band cancelled their North American tour while Chaplin was being treated for drug and alcohol addiction.
Two years years prior to that the band released their first album, Hopes And Fears, which won them a Brit Award not long after its release.
They took a hiatus for a few years but in 2019 released their fifth studio album titled Cause And Effect.
Chaplin has also released music as a solo artist, including debut solo album The Wave in 2016.
Speaking about taking part in The Masked Singer, he said: “It’s quite strange, because in a way everyone who goes on that show, particularly the musicians, I guess, we’ve all got quite big egos.
“All of us, that’s what’s driven us to the places we’ve got to in our career in a way that sort of desire, you know, to want to perform and show off and be the centre of attention.
“So of course there’s a little part of you that feels a bit crushed when you get voted off.
“But actually, I think just the kind of environment that I was in, and how lovely the judges were, how relaxed it felt, I think that that all came across (in my performance).
“So even if there’s a part of me that felt a little bit kind of deflated and sad that I was going home, I think, overwhelmingly I just felt very positive about having done it.”
The Masked Singer, which is on ITV and ITV Hub, continues on Saturdays at 7pm.
