The costumes that the celebrities wear on The Masked Singer UK never fail to amaze fans of the ITV singing competition. However, occasionally the celebrities behind the masks like to get involved in the design process and have a significant impact on the finished look – which was the case with this year’s star Wolf.

There are currently eight performers still left in the 2025 series: Bear, Bush, Dressed Crab, Kingfisher, Pufferfish, Snail, Teeth and Wolf. Metro recently spoke to costume designer Tim Simpson, the managing director of Plunge Creations, who revealed the fascinating way Wolf’s costume came together, as the original idea for the look would have been extremely different.

‘We played around a lot with Wolf. I wanted to do a complete wolf in sheep’s clothing. I think somewhere amongst the team, they said that might be going too far if it looks like the wolf is wearing a lot of dead sheep, so we had to rein that back into just a really handsome coat with a fur collar,’ he said, explaining that the sheep idea might have been too ‘scary’ for kids.
In the end, Wolf’s extremely dapper suit came about with the help of the celebrity behind the mask, as they were ‘invested’ in the costume and put forward their own suggestions. ‘Wolf didn’t have great visibility, but I think they enjoyed wearing the costume. So I think they were quite invested,’ Tim shared.
