The masked singer

She explained the Liverpool accent as having been brought up in the North West.

I love it! and I would never have guessed rat was Shirley Ballas either. I thought it was Mel from Bake Off.

No idea what the tools were a clue to and who knew she had climbed a mountain. Complete surprise.

I would never have guessed Shirley Ballas. The clues were no help in any way. Not to me anyway! I guessed the heavy Liverpool accent was fake but that was the extent of my progress.

She had various bits of tartan on her costume but I didn’t hear any reference to a link to Scotland when they unmasked her . Jennifer Saunders is on the panel next week. I really like her.

I also thought it was Claire Sweeney!

Hellogirl I thought CS too.

I would never have guessed Shirley Ballas, I thought it was Claire Sweeney!

I like it. I don’t mind a bit of silliness on a Saturday night.

I like it - have watched the US version too. I know Shirley, although I’ve never watched an episode of Strictly, ever.
The antics of the panel are a bit OTT, but in all, it’s harmless Saturday night viewing.

We love it, it’s great fun. We’d never have guessed that was Shirley Ballas, she was brilliant.

Nobody else watching?

Ahh there we go that’s why I don’t know her 😂😂
I did enjoy masked singer for a while but kinda lost it this time it didn’t grab me it doesn’t help because the wind, blooming constant wind, must have rearranged my aerial so a lot of my viewing at the moment is fizz, bang, whallop picture got fireworks I ve got a man coming out next Monday and hope he can add something inside to normalise it

Ah I beg to differ BlueBelle I know you’re not a miserable old git, the absolute opposite of that, I know you don’t watch strictly come dancing, Shirley Ballas is head judge on that😀

I gave up after two instalments
I don’t know who Shirley Ballas is so wouldn’t have been any help there
I liked it when it first came on air but I can’t stand all the silliness with the judges although I like Mo and Rita and the constant screaming gets on my pip ….miserable old git that I am 🤣🤣

I realised it was Shirley Ballas when I'd just tuned in. Couldn't believe none of the panel guessed her. They must have been kidding and just playing us along for idiots !! I'm usually worst in world for getting accents right (DH says!)
