The Masked Singer stuns with double elimination as Monkey Business and Arctic Fox are revealed

The Masked Singer UK has unveiled two more celebrities after a series packed with shocking unmaskings so far.

Tonight, Toastie, Red Panda, Monkey Business, Arctic Fox, Can of Worms, Conkers, Moth, and Sloth all took to their stage in their elaborate costumes.

Performing for the panel – Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross, Maya Jama, Mo Gilligan, and guest star Perrie Edwards – they all attempted to pull the wool over our eyes once more with cryptic clues and fake accents.

But unfortunately for Monkey Business and Arctic Fox, their time on the show is up, and, in an epic double elimination, their identities have been uncovered at last.

The first to remove their mask was Monkey Business, who turned out to be music icon and Foundations hitmaker Kate Nash.

Explaining the clues pointing towards her identity, she said the numerous coffee hints were because she appeared in the movies Coffee Wars and Syrup.

A clue relating to streaming also referenced her being in Glow on Netflix, while ‘Take 615’ being written on a clapperboard referred to the area code for Nashville, subtly hinting at Kate’s surname.

Additionally, in one of her VTs, Monkey Business said there are ‘a lot of rivals in this business’. This was a nod to Rivals actor Danny Dyer appearing in her music video for Wasteman.

Shortly after Kate, 38, was unveiled, Arctic Fox was also eliminated, and underneath was Strictly icon Anton Du Beke!

‘I’m so glad you thought it was a drag queen, because I was giving it full Ru Paul bifter!’, the judge joked to the panel.

Clues pointing to his identity included seven acorns, as Anton is from Sevenoaks in Kent. Flour bags also reference him being a baker ‘as a young man’, while being the ‘bottom of success’ pointed to Anton being voted Rear of the Year.

‘I’ve loved every second,’ he declared.

Kate and Anton now join some huge stars in the unmasked club, as series 7 is stacking up to be one of the most unpredictable yet.

The 2026 series kicked off in typically bonkers fashion, introducing Goldfish and Emperor Penguin as the lead singers of two Masked Singer house bands.

Pop star Anne-Marie and Little Britain comedian Matt Lucas were swiftly revealed under the respective costumes before joining the panel to chip in with guesses and theories of their own.

And as the competition got fully underway, The One Show’s Alex Jones became the first celebrity eliminated, taking off her Disc Jockey mask, which no one expected.

Next came Teabag’s reveal, who ended up being rapper Professor Green in a real 2000s throwback moment.

Following him came Yak’s unmasking, with Sex Pistols icon John Lydon, aka Johnny Rotten, underneath the very heavy costume.

Finally, last weekend, a true music icon was discovered to be performing as Gargoyle.

While the panel threw names around like Ruby Wax and Cyndi Lauper, it was actually American singer-songwriter Marcella Detroit, 73, best known professionally as Marcy Levy and as a member of Shakespears Sister.

The Masked Singer continues on ITV1 and ITVX.
