The Masked Singer UK has made a triumphant return on ITV, bringing with it captivating musical performances by celebrities dressed as utterly nonsensical characters, from a Sausage to a Badger.

Season two of the hit talent show aired on Boxing Day, with comedian Mo Gilligan joining Rita Ora, Davina McCall and Jonathan Ross on the panel as Joel Dommett resumed presenting duties.

In the second week of the competition, Harlequin went up against Blob, Seahorse faced Viking and Bush Baby competed with Grandfather Clock, with the responsibility resting on the masked studio audience to decide who would end up in the bottom three.

After Harlequin, Seahorse and Grandfather Clock wound up in the bottom three, the panelists decided who they wished to keep in the contest, with one competitor being unmasked.

So who are the first two faces who have been revealed on The Masked Singer UK season two?

Who was revealed in week one of The Masked Singer?

In the very first week of the competition, Alien was eliminated from the competition after delivering a funky rendition of Don’t Start Now by Dua Lipa.

As the singer removed the head of their costume, musician Sophie Ellis-Bextor was unveiled underneath.

Recalling her time on the show, Sophie said that as she was the first star to leave, she ‘felt like a gymnast who had a cool routine with jumps and twists, who then left after their first comedy somersault’.

‘But it’s cool – I do my flips and jumps better with my own head on,’ she added.

The Murder On The Dancefloor shared a post on social media after her elimination, revealing that her one-year-old son guessed her identity while watching the show on Boxing Day.

Who was umasked in week two?

For the second week in a row, a professional singer was sent home on the new series of The Masked Singer UK, with Seahorse revealed to be Spice Girls band member Mel B.

Although Mel B tried to disguise her voice while singing Kylie Minogue’s hit track Can’t Get You Out Of My Head, several viewers guessed that it was her behind the mask.

Looking back on her time in the competition, the musician said that it was ‘gutting, hilarious and shocking’ to be eliminated.

Mel B said she felt ‘so nervous’ because she had to sing her song ‘in a way I still hadn’t really got used to and I was really out of my comfort zone’.

‘I also couldn’t fully see because of my mask and I couldn’t breathe normally so I knew singing would be even harder. It was a proper challenge,’ she added.

We’ll just have to wait and see which other celebrities are revealed as the competition progresses!

The Masked Singer returns on Saturday at 7pm on ITV.
