The Masked Singer: Harlequin’s identity revealed in latest episode’s double elimination

Star was second celebrity to be sent home during semi-finale's double elimination

The Masked Singer unveiled two celebrity contestants on tonight’s episode (6 February). 

The hit ITV series – a spinoff of the South Korean original – sees a roster of stars dress up in wacky costumes to conceal their identity and perform for a panel of judges who are tasked with guessing who it is behind the mask. 

During tonight’s semi-final, the five remaining competitors performed before the TV audience and judges Rita Ora, Jonathan Ross, Mo Gilligan and Davina McCall. 

Comedian Matt Lucas also appeared on the episode as a guest judge. 

After she was chosen for elimination, it was then revealed that Harlequin's identity is, in fact, British soul legened Gabrielle.

The panel was not hugely surprised by the big reveal since multiple judges had already guessed the “Rise” singer on past episodes. 

Gabrielle said that she chose to star on the show because it was “a challenge”.

Harlequin's reveal follows shortly after Dragon was unveiled to be English comedian Sue Perkins earlier on in the episode.

The Masked Singer finale will air on ITV at 7pm next Saturday.
