The Masked Singer 2026: Disc Jockey unveiled as Alex Jones during first elimination
Were you also surprised?!Disc Jockey was unveiled as Alex Jones and became the first contestant to be voted off The Masked Singer tonight (January 3).
During Saturday night’s show, five new characters — Can of Worms, Gargoyle, Moth, Sloth, and Disc Jockey — were introduced.
However, unfortunately for Disc Jockey and Gargoyle, they landed in the bottom two after the studio audience had been voting for their favourites.
Ultimately, it was up to the judges to decide who they wanted to save. Maya delivered the verdict, announcing that Gargoyle had made it to another week.
Disc Jockey on The Masked Singer
For their performance, Disc Jockey performed Chappell Roan’s chart-topping hit Pink Pony Club.
The panel’s guesses were all over the place, ranging from DJ Annie Mac to Bake Off star Mary Berry.
However, when they were finally unmasked, they failed to guess correctly. Underneath the costume was, in fact, The One Show presenter Alex Jones.
As they were shocked by the reveal, viewers at home were also surprised that the Welsh broadcaster was Disc Jockey.
‘Not surprised nobody got Alex Jones’
According to one fan, they blamed the clues for not guessing her identity, stating: “Not surprised nobody got Alex Jones. I swear all the clues on this show are about their mum’s cousin’s cousin who lived in Zimbabwe in 1994 or some bs.”
“Alex Jones sounds REALLY different singing to when she’s talking,” another insisted.
“Gosh NEVER would’ve guessed her in a million years lol,” a third remarked.
On the other hand, many praised Alex for having a great voice.
“Fair play to Alex Jones. Not even a bad voice. I’d love to know what the panel base their decision on? You’d think it would be based on singing but if that was the case Gargoyle would have gone,” one user wrote on X.
“Alex Jones is not actually a bad singer,” another declared.
Earlier in the episode, chart-topping singer Anne-Marie was unveiled as Goldfish after participating in the show’s first-ever band segment.
