The Masked Singer UK: Knitting and Otter unmasked in double elimination

The Masked Singer UK said goodbye to two contestants during the episode that aired on Saturday, February 4, meaning there are just five characters left in the competition. Jellyfish, Rhino, Jacket Potato, Phoenix and Fawn have made it through to next week's semi-final, meaning Knitting and Otter have left the show.

Knitting was unmasked first after getting the least votes from the studio audience. Knitting was revealed to be Claire Richards from Steps. Many fans at home believed Claire was behind the mask with judges Davina McCall and Stephen Mulhern also guessing correctly.

"I thought you were going to get me from day one, I was so chuffed when you didn't," Claire told the panel, before adding: "I am a massive, massive fan of this show, I feel like a fan who has won a competition."

Claire added that she hope her children would be surprised and happy, but added: "My son might be a little mortified but I hope they are surprised and happy."

Next up presenters Mo Gilligan, Davina McCall, Rita Ora, and Jonathan Ross, and guest judge Stephen Mulhern chose to save Fawn, sending Otter home.

Otter was Daisy May Cooper (ITV)

Joel Dommett first asked the panel who they thought was behind the mask with Mo guessing Daisy May Cooper and Jonathan guessing Mel Giedroyc. Otter was indeed comedian and actress Daisy May Cooper.

Daisy said she'd loved very minute of it but was "exhausted and relieved" to be unmasked. Explaining why she took part in the show, Daisy said: "I did this for my daughter Pip and because I needed the cash." For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.
