The Masked Singer's Gargoyle is revealed as Shakespears Sister star Marcella Detroit
Did you guess correctly?The Masked Singer‘s Gargoyle was tonight unmasked and Marcella Detroit was revealed to be hiding under the giant costume.
Gargoyle ended up in the sing-off alongside fellow contestant Sloth but the Shakespears Sister star didn’t impress the judges enough to stay (get it?!) and was sent home.
There were gasps from the audience and the panel as Marcella was revealed to be underneath the mask.
Marcella told Masked Singer host Joel Domett about her time on the show: “It was hot. And it was very difficult to walk!”
Here’s how everything unfolded on The Masked Singer tonight – and all about this week’s guest judge.
The Masked Singer: Who performed tonight?
Tonight’s episode of The Masked Singer was a rather unseasonal Spooktacular Special. Did they forget their calendars?!
Judges Mo Gillligan, Davina McCall, Maya Jama and Jonathan Ross pulled out all the stops and fully embraced the theme.
But it was host Joel who arguably stole the show, dressing up as a very convincing Wednesday Addams. Top marks also for Jonathan, who greened-up as a futuristic Frankenstein!
Maya looked sensational sheer black dress with elaborate shoulder straps, while Davina channelled her inner spiderweb. Swit swoo, ladies!
Ben Shepard was this week’s guest judge and he looked unrecognisable. The This Morning star was dressed up as a creepy scarecrow and he nailed the brief perfectly.
The hair, make-up and costume department must have been run off their feet!
This week saw the return of Can of Worms, Sloth, Gargoyle and Sloth to The Masked Singer. Red Panda also made his debut on the ITV show.
Red Panda had been due to perform in Week 1 of the competition, but his song was cut from the final edit at the last minute.
The contestant had performed the 1976 classic Disco Inferno but it was deemed ‘potentially insensitive’ in the wake of the ski resort fire in Crans-Montana, Switzerland earlier this month. 40 people died in the tragedy.
Who was unmasked tonight? Gargoyle is revealed as Marcella Detroit
Gargoyle had landed in the bottom two with Sloth tonight following the audience votes.
They both performed again but the judges decided to save Sloth and send Gargoyle home.
Marcella was then revealed after chants of “take it off, take it off”, much to the shock of the judges. Joel also seemed pretty thrilled, confessing to her that he is a massive fan!
Jonathan then asked Marcella if she would sing them out with Shakespears Sister’s huge hit, Stay. She happily obliged.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan said: “Omg I would never have guessed Marcella Detroit!”
While another added: “YES I CALLED IT!!!” And a third chimed in: “Marcella Detroit is 73!!!!!! My god she looks good!”
However, one unimpressed viewer wrote: “Maybe this Marcella lady could sing at one point in her life, but she definitely can’t now.” Harsh!
Who has gone on The Masked Singer?
Marcella joins five other celebrities who have already been unmasked on this year’s show.
First to go was Disc Jockey, who was revealed to be The One Show’s Alex Jones. Teabag was next. Rapper Professor Green was hiding under his mask.
Last week, Yak was unmasked to reveal John Lydon – aka The Sex Pistols’ Johnny Rotten.
The series has also seen pop singer Anne-Marie make an appearance as Goldfish in the band No Trout, and Emperor Penguin from the Antarctic Funkeys – aka comedian Matt Lucas.
