How does The MaskedSinger keep its celebrities secret?
A complaint often voiced about celebrities on reality shows is that many viewers have no clue who they are.
When it launched in 2015 in South Korea, the show originally known as The King of Mask Singer was a ratings and viral sensation. Now it's the UK's turn to speculate which household name has taken to the stage dressed as a butterfly, octopus, hedgehog or duck. "It's a great idea for a show, although when you see it written down on paper you wouldn't necessarily say it's going to work."
The BBC's Steven McIntosh attended a recording of The Masked Singer in September. Here's what he saw - and what he didn't.Not because those present at a September taping of The Masked Singer didn't enjoy the show. Far from it - most cheered, laughed and evidently thought it was great entertainment. But the efforts to avoid word getting out could be worth it for the viewing figures ITV will be hoping it brings in.
