THE Masked Singer viewers were in shock tonight at finally guessing celebrities correctly as Denise Van Outen was revealed as Fox and CeeLo Green as Monster.
The actress and television presenter was the first of two singers unveiled tonight on the surprise ITV hit – and judge Davina McCall guessed her identity correctly.
Cee Lo Green was revealed as Monster in the second half of the show’s double elimination and viewers were shocked at themselves finally guessing correctly with one writing: “FINALLY! I got two! #maskedsingeruk”
Another added: “F***ing finally, i knew it from day one that it was ceelo green #maskedsingeruk”
There is very little chance of the results leaking as the show even sends the audience out before the celebrities are unmasked during filming.
Warm up Andy Collins explained that he was told by TV bosses to clear ticket-holders from the studio – saying the task was like being “a UN peacekeeper”.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, he revealed how cameras stopped filming after the audience’s “take it off” chant.
The 49-year-old telly veteran said: “I don’t know if you’ve seen the Masked Singer – I worked on two or three of them.
“They said: ‘Right, at the end when the crowd are going “take it off, take it off” – at that point we’re going to stop, the audience all have to clear and then we’ll unmask who it is.’
“I said: ‘Right, so the audience that have been here for three and a half hours for the record are leaving and they don’t get to see it?’
“‘Yes, that’s just the way it is.’ ‘OK, and you want me to tell them that?’ ‘Yes.’
“‘Shouldn’t that be a producer’s job?’ ‘Yes, but we think the audience might get a little bit upset so that’s your job now.’ You think: ‘Hold up, now I’m a UN peacekeeper.’”
A rep for The Masked Singer told The Sun Online that the celebrity’s big reveal was shown only to a reduced audience.
The show sees a number of celebrities dressed in elaborate costumes, with the panel and audience left guessing at their identities.
Last week, Duck was revealed to be Skin from Skunk Anansie while Unicorn was exposed as The Scissor Sisters’ Jake Shears.
Other unmasked stars include former England star Teddy Sheringham, who was Tree, and US singer Kelis, who was Daisy.
Justin Hawkins from The Darkness, former Home Secretary Alan Johnson and ex-EastEnders star Patsy Palmer were also revealed.
Other pre-recorded shows have had to contend with spoilers getting out before the show aired.

The most notable example is Strictly Come Dancing, which is filmed in one block but aired half live and half as a pre-recorded results show.
That format has led to a Strictly spoiler revealing the axed star appearing online the night before the result airs on BBC One.
