The Masked Singer UK is on everyone’s minds at the moment as viewers attempt to uncover the celebrities who are starring in the 2025 series – long before they’re unmasked on the ITV programme.
Paul Whitehouse and his wife Dr Mine Conkbayir took to Lorraine to discuss their upcoming podcast series I’m ADHD – No You’re Not! when the discussion was swiftly diverted to the popular show, hosted by Joel Dommett.
Rumours have been swirling that the former Harry Enfield star could be on the show as Kingfisher – who belted out his very own rendition of the Rainbow Connection from The Muppet Movie, at the weekend.
With speculation at an all time high, the Scottish host, 65, just simply couldn’t turn a blind eye to rumours, especially with Paul present on her self-titled show.
Opening up the discussion, she announced: “Paul Whitehouse is here with his wife Mine,” as Kingfisher from The Masked Singer appeared on screens. Lorraine probed: “Err is that you?” She then demanded: “Look me in the eye and tell me?”
Mine, Paul’s wife interjected: “Be honest,” as the comedian began to look shifty in his seat before telling the host: “If I say ‘yes’, you won’t believe me and if I say ‘no’ you won’t believe me so…”
“This is very true,” responded Lorraine before adding: “So we don’t know.” Delving into her own detective work, the TV star then stated: “It would sort of make sense though with Kingfisher because they’re sort of there when you’re fishing.”
Cutting in on her thought process, Paul blurted out the identity of the person he believed to be hiding behind the mask, explaining that their intentions were to put him in the frame instead.
He told the host: “Whoever has done it, Harry Hill, has very cleverly thrown the focus to me.” Lorraine’s ears were peaked as she responded: “Ohh you think it might be Harry Hill?
Realising he may have overstepped the mark with his response, Paul began to backtrack: “No, I mean there’s rumours flying around.” As Lorraine confirmed: “Well it could be anyone, let’s be honest,” before swiftly moving the conversation on.
Lorraine airs weekdays on ITV1, from 9am.
