Jaime Winstone explains Rita Ora's 'annoyed' reaction to Masked Singer reveal

Jaime Winstone has revealed that her good friend Rita Ora was 'annoyed' about her appearance on The Masked Singer.

The 36-year-old British actress appeared on Monday's This Morning to chat to Phillip Schofield and Rochelle Humes about her time on the ITV singing show.

Joining them in the studio, Jaime looked radiant wearing a multi-coloured patterned jacket and pink lipstick as she spoke about performing as Firework.

"It was a picture to see Rita's face, because you're obviously friends so she looks absolutely baffled," Rochelle commented.

"Yeah, I think she was really annoyed with herself actually," mother-of-one Jaime replied.

Jaime Winstone has revealed that her good friend Rita Ora was 'annoyed' about her appearance on The Masked Singer (ITV)

"She's very competitive so she was annoyed that she'd missed it, but I think they steered her off quite nicely because she did mention my name along the way.

"But there was so many different clues. The clues are so minute that they can spin you off in any way."

Jaime continued: "I'm surprised she didn't recognise it just from the outfit to be honest, I'm offended.

Jaime was unmasked as Firework on the ITV show over the weekend (ITV)

"It was a very different experience for me, you know I haven't ever done anything like that and I've never sang in front of an audience before.

"It was a very exhilarating, new experience for me," she added, before confirming that her friends nickname for her is "Pocket Rocket".

"And actually, Rita does call me 'Firework' sometimes," Jaime admitted as Phillip and Rochelle laughed.

Rita Ora was absolutely stunned when she realised her good friend Jaime had been performing on The Masked Singer (ITV)

"Honestly, I don't think it's her fault. She's asked me before, 'would you ever do it?' and I've said, 'it's not my thing'."

Jaime went on to say that she had a "funny interaction" with Will Young in the corridor when he was a fish and she was Firework.

"I can't believe I knocked Will Young out! Oh my God!" she told Phillip and Rochelle.

This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV and ITV Hub.
