Davina McCall has shared that she finds The Masked Singer strangely emotional. The popular show is set to return for its fifth series on Saturday 30 December, with Davina returning as one of the show's celeb judges, alongside Mo Gilligan, Rita Ora and Jonathan Ross. Ahead of the new series, which will see celebs don disguises as Bubble Tea, Air Fryer, Dippy Egg, Weather, Eiffel Tower, Rat, Maypole, Owl, Piranha, Cricket, Chicken Caesar and Bigfoot, Davina has opened up about her time on the judging panel.
She said: "I think there's so much many emotional aspects to this show that I wasn't really prepared for. "I knew it was going to be fun and I knew it was going to be a bit ridiculous, but I hadn't factored in what it feels like to watch little kids in the studio and seeing how invested they are. "Also, I hadn't factored in what it might mean to the singers.
So for lots of singers, it's overcoming a huge fear that they've had. "It might be doing something for their kids that they wanted to surprise them with. It might be just for the hell of it.
And also how weirdly emotional it can be. "This series, Weather is an interesting character because they have such a beautiful costume and then an unmistakable voice." Show host Joel Dommett previously shared similar thoughts as he shared that the way he views the show has changed since welcoming a baby son. He said: "It's really cool.
I think it's certainly the best series but I think definitely my best series just because of my child arriving. "I feel like it's all so joyous and fun. I am viewing it all in an entirely different way.
