Get ready for a thrilling twist in The Masked Singer's seventh series! The first-ever bands on the show have been unveiled, and the clues are as intriguing as ever. But here's where it gets controversial... Are these bands a big clue to the celebrities' identities, or just a clever distraction?
In the opening episode, viewers will be left guessing the identity of Goldfish, who fronts the group No Trout. And in the second episode, it's Emperor Penguin's turn, with the group Antarctic Funkeys. The star-studded panel, including Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan, and Maya Jama, are in for a treat as both frontmen have sent them exclusive clues.
Goldfish sent Davina a playful question, "How did it feel to be top of the Christmas tree?" while also challenging Jonathan with, "They say goldfish have a three-second memory. We'll be the Judge of that." Mo and Maya received mathematical riddles, with Mo getting "54x4x10-166+8=X" and Maya being teased with, "I heard you became an award-winning billionaire by swimming up stream!"
Meanwhile, Emperor Penguin sent Davina, "I hear you go all Hollywood on a hen night." Jonathan received, "Performing as Emperor Penguin is your Golden Ticket." Maya was challenged with, "Are you ready to kick things off? They'll be gunning for you tonight!" and Mo was teased with, "You can mash 'em, fry 'em, roast 'em, but we all know you prefer to sing 'em."
