Rita Ora ‘rumbled’ as The Masked Singer’s Maypole by one judge as fans are blown away by her voice
THE MASKED Singer’s Mo Gilligan think it’s game over for Maypole as he claims a Rita Ora is hiding behind the costume.
ITV sleuths at home were also convinced it was Rita as they flooded the X platform, formerly known as Twitter, with their guesses.
TV favourite and judge Mo, 35, was blown away by Maypole’s silky smooth rendition of Clown by Emilie Sandé.
When it came to the guesses, Mo was adamant that he’d recognised the voice before and said it was none other than the Hot Right Now singer Rita, 33.
Despite Joel Dommett telling fans at the start of the episode that Rita was working in America while the show was being filmed, Mo was convinced that she was stood right in front of them under the costume.
Mo exclaimed: “Why is she not here, because she’s here?”
While many fans back him up, with one writing: “Absolutely convinced Maypole is Rita Ora.”
A second speculated: “Maypole could be Nadine Coyle…..But until we see them on the same show together i’m still saying it’s Rita Ora.”
A third commented: “Maypole has Rita Ora’s voice and that would explain the ‘return to sender’ clue.”
This viewer shared: “Maypole is either Rita Ora or Jade Thirwall from little mix (she was in Celeb Bakeoff).”
Someone else echoed: “I had Fleur East down for Maypole last week but the tone of the voice does sound like it could be Rita Ora.”
