Masked Singer's Viking unmasked as Morten Harket - leaving judges in disbelief

The Masked Singer UK's Viking was finally unmasked on Saturday, with Morten Harket revealed to be the celebrity under the costume.

Sausage, Blob, Viking, Harlequin, Badger, Dragon and Robin all performed one more time, dropping new clues as they did.

Viewers and the judges, Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross, Rita Ora and Mo Gilligan, have been sharing their guesses for weeks.

But there was a double twist in the latest episode, as host Joel Dommett announced two characters would be leaving.

That meant not one but two celebrities would finally be exposed in the show, once all seven acts had performed.

Unfortunately it was Blob, Viking, and Dragon in the bottom three.

Getting the lowest votes, Viking was announced to be leaving first - and their mask soon came off.

Everyone in the studio was stunned as Morten soon showed his face, while many at home had guessed the star.

Later speaking about doing the show, he revealed what made him sign up.

He told: "I was meant to be busy during the period in question when invited to join The Masked Singer. The pandemic cleared the majority of activities off the calendar and suddenly the door opened for other types of requests.

"When asked, I liked the idea of exposing myself to the insecurity of its confines knowing I would hate that."

Names including Aston Merrygold, Sheridan Smith and Stacey Solomon are on the list of those believed to be taking part.

The clues across the past few weeks have helped, but also confused those trying to work out who everyone is.

Each week the acts have been singing new songs and dropping new hints, and while some identities appear to have been rumbled others are leaving fans puzzled.

The Masked Singer UK airs Saturdays at 7pm on ITV.
