Masked Singer's Traffic Cone's 'true' identity let slip by Russell Watson

The Masked Singer UK's Traffic Cone may have had his identity exposed.

Singer Russell Watson let slip the celebrity apparently under the mask during an interview on Good Morning Britain on Wednesday.

He denied he was Traffic Cone, and instead claimed he knew exactly who was and that it was a close friend of his.

Russell even dropped a name, as hosts Adil Ray and Susanna Reid questioned if he was trying to throw viewers off the scent.

He claimed it was fellow singer and his good pal Aled Jones who was performing as Traffic Cone on the ITV series.

As the hosts questioned if it was actually him behind the mask, he told them: "I 100 per cent know who that is.

"No, no, no. I know who that is, the strange thing is I didn't know who it was when I saw their first performance.

"I had no idea who it was and then I heard the second performance and I know who that is, I am absolutely certain.

"They've not admitted it, they've not mentioned it at all, but I am convinced that is my mate Aled Jones."

Adil suggested the voice was too deep for it to be Aled, adding: "Come on Russell, that's a distraction, come on."

But Russell laughed it off, again claiming it was Aled and not him on the ITV show as the interview ended.

It comes after comedian Rob Beckett teased he could be Traffic Cone in a tweet.

The 36-year-old comedian sent the tweet out while the ITV show was halfway through airing - leaving fans in disbelief.

Rob's tweet read: "Just send this out once I’ve been unmasked."

He went on: "Thanks for all the support being the Traffic Cone I absolutely loved it. Great show. The kids couldn’t believe it was me."

The Masked Singer UK airs Saturdays at 7pm on ITV.
