Kelis was unmasked on The Masked Singer - and viewers' reactions are hilarious

The Masked Singer viewers were stunned when a musical superstar Kelis was unmasked as Daisy.

Kelis, who had huge hits with the Trick Me, Caught Out There and the frothy Milkshake, has been hiding behind a flowery disguise on the ITV singing show.

To be fair many viewers watching at home, and celeb judge Rita Ora, had worked it out a few weeks back when the show began because of the New Yorker's distinctive husky voice.

But other fans of the show were convinced that the actual Kelis couldn't be on their telly on Saturday nights singing, dressed as a daisy, as people attempted to guess who she was. Jaws dropped when they realised they were wrong.

"ERM, WHAT IS KELIS DOING ON THE MASKED SINGER UK?" shouted one.

"Just told David, if that was Kelis on the #maskedsingeruk then I would run down our street naked ... turns out it was her. FFS!" tweeted another.

"Kelis is too good for this show what is going on?" asked another viewer.

Fans were reeling to realise that Kelis had been eliminated from the show pretty early on in the contest with seven celebs disguised in elaborate costumes still in the running.

"Kelis was just beaten by a duck singing Madonna," puzzled one.

"Kelis did not drop the banger Trick Me to be on this s***" said another.

Kelis, who featured on ODB's R&B classic Got Your Money, told the audience that she was glad to take on the challenge.

"People have been telling me how distinct my voice is my whole career so I thought let's see how distinct it is," she explained.

"Kelis is a brilliant booking. What a get," praised one viewer.

"As if Kelis has just been booted off, completely undeserved," said another.
