There was another double elimination in the latest episode of The Masked Singer on ITV as Jacket Potato and Jellyfish left the competition at the semi-final stage on Saturday, February 11. That leaves just three singers left in the competition as the finale airs on February 18.
Jacket Potato was unmasked first as Richie Sambora and Jellyfish was Glee and Dreamgirls stage star, Amber Riley. Remaining in the competition for next week's final are Phoenix, Fawn and Rhino.
Bon Jovi founding member and former lead guitarist Richie Sambora was unveiled as the potato, shocking the panel which consists of Mo Gilligan, Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross and Rita Ora. But Davina McCall had his card marked guessing it was Richie. Jonathan Ross even took the mickey out of the presenter saying Sambora was way too rich and sunning himself by his pool, rather than performing on the ITV show.
Sambora, 63, who also is a solo artist, said: "It's a wild reality when you do this show.”
Riley, who performed Shot Through the Heart by Bon Jovi as her first song, was overwhelmed that Sambora had heard her in rehearsals and she also revealed that she'd seen panellist Mo Gilligan before she came to London. Amber said of her stint: "I was nervous because I couldn’t see very well and my balance was pretty off and on top of the jet lag there was so much to juggle all at once. But I did it!"
