UPDATE: In a stunning twist during the premiere of the new series of The Masked Singer on July 15, 2023, famous BBC presenter Alex Jones was voted off the show as the first act eliminated, leaving the show’s panel and viewers in disbelief.
The popular ITV program returned to screens on Saturday night, captivating audiences once again with its mix of mystery and entertainment. Each week, celebrities don elaborate costumes and perform for a panel of judges, but this time, the reveal was particularly shocking. After a performance of Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club,” panelists were left guessing wildly, with Mo Gilligan suggesting it could be Annie Mac and Jonathan Ross leaning towards Sara Cox. Maya Jama took a different route, naming 80s icon Bonnie Tyler, but none were close.
The panel’s shock escalated when Gargoyle triumphed over Disc Jockey in the first elimination round. As Jones removed her mask, the stunned reaction from the panel was palpable. Alex Jones, known for her role on The One Show, explained that some clues in her performance video matched her past experiences. A photo of Jonathan Ross referenced her former show titled “Jonathan,” while mentions of trials linked to her challenges for Comic Relief and her appearance on the game show “Prickly Heat” further connected the dots.
This unexpected elimination marks a dramatic start to the seventh series of The Masked Singer, a show that has captured viewer interest since its launch in 2020. Fans eagerly await the next episode as speculation heats up about who might be eliminated next and which celebrities will take the stage in elaborate disguises.
