The Masked Singer judge deceives panellists with Christmas special performance Davina McCall has said secretly transferring from the judging panel to perform on The Masked Singer was “the maddest ruse” but “one of the greatest experiences of my life”.
The TV star, who has been a panellist on the ITV talent show for the last five series, said appearing on the Christmas special – which aired on Boxing Day – was “too good an opportunity to miss” and one of her bucket list moments.
McCall said as she was singing, she was thinking about the importance of Christmas after she had brain surgery to remove a rare benign tumour in November.
“It was one of the greatest experiences of my life so far,” McCall said.
“I’ve booked a singing lesson for after the recording of the show and I’m going to carry on singing.
