Nicky Campbell quits The Masked Singer

Nicky Campbell was unmasked on “The Masked Singer”.

The 62-year-old TV presenter left the ITV show after enjoying his experience on “Masked Singer”.

Nicky, wearing the Dippy Egg outfit, told the audience: “I love the show. We watched it at home with my girls.”

“I can kind of sing, so when the opportunity came up I thought, ‘Yeah, absolutely. Incredible.’ And it was.”

Nicky is a long-time friend of “Masked Singer” judge Davina McCall and the TV presenter was visibly moved when he revealed his identity to the audience.

Davina, 56, was also surprised that she had not guessed Nicky’s identity.

She said: “Nicky is a friend, we’ve worked together for 13 years and I can’t believe I didn’t recognise your voice. I didn’t recognise your singing voice. I know your singing voice. This is crazy!”

Nicky, on the other hand, claimed that he did not know who was in the other costumes.

He confessed: “I have no idea who the others are. You never see anything because you wear a mask all the time and therefore can’t see anything.”

“The worst part of the costume is when the lid goes on Dippy Egg and suddenly it’s like you’re in a deep sea diving suit!”

Later in the same episode, pop star Melody Thornton was also unmasked.

The 39-year-old Pussycat Doll revealed that she is behind the maypole costume.

After her identity was revealed, Melody said: “I think the special thing about this show is that it’s completely positive. You actually just have fun and it’s been wonderful to bring this character to life!”
