Ben Shephard Reveals Cunning Way He Tricked ITV Colleagues About Masked Singer
Ben Shephard, 51, finished as runner-up on The Masked Singer, keeping his identity secret even while guest panellist, as contestants are isolated to preserve surprises.
- On Saturday , Ben Shephard, 51, This Morning and Tipping Point presenter, was unmasked as Conkers on The Masked Singer finale and finished as runner-up.
- Because contestants on The Masked Singer cannot tell anyone, Shephard said the secrecy made it `remarkable` and `really special`, explaining why he kept it from ITV colleagues.
- He preserved the ruse by sitting as a guest panellist weeks earlier and feigning ignorance while interviewing eliminated Masked Singer contestants on This Morning.
- Viewers and peers praised Shephard online, host Joel Dommett fell to the floor, and panellists Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross, Maya Jama, and Mo Gilligan were visibly surprised.
- Costume and prop details referenced Coronation Street and The Lego Ninjago Movie, while Conkers' VTs used the phrase `Hanging on the edge` as a nod to Tipping Point and Good Stuff, and producers described Conkers as brave but nervous.
