The Masked Singer UK’s Rat has been revealed as Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas during Saturday’s episode of the singing contest.
The judges had guessed Claire Sweeney, Jodie Comer, Kerry Katona and Jodie Whittaker on the ITV1 reality show, which sees celebrity contestants sing while wearing costumes.
Talking about the panel’s guesses Shirley said: ‘I was very flattered actually because I just don’t sing at all and some of the people that you were saying, was like wow!
‘It was one of the best times of my life. It was way out of my comfort zone and I totally loved it.’
Speaking after the show, Shirley said: ‘I thought the guesses from the panel were actually rather spectacular. They compared me to actors and singers, all sorts, and never got any of the clues!’
Referring to panellist Jonathan Ross, Shirley continued: ”I was very surprised about Jonathan. I mean, Jonathan’s a friend of mine. I’ve been on his shows and we’ve talked about Kilimanjaro, some of those clues he should have known and he didn’t get it!
‘They were so off, they called me some amazing singers and actors! I’ll take that!’
