Charlotte Church Felt Like An ‘American president’ During The Masked Singer

Charlotte Church has revealed the extent of the secrecy on The Masked Singer, confirming contestants on the show know “nothing about each other,” and must keep their involvement a secret from family and friends.

Speaking to BBC Breakfast, Church, 35, said:

“When we do the group numbers together and you see everybody in their costumes, you’re all looking at each other and trying to read body language.

"You’re just trying to have a little guess because you’re totally in the guessing game yourself at that point.”

Church was disguised as Mushroom during the competition and narrowly lost out on the win to Panda (Vincent Dolman/Bandicoot PA)

Since Saturday night’s final, reports have emerged that some fans were upset with the outcome after Church missed out on the win to Panda, who was eventually unmasked as Australian singer Natalie Imbruglia.

When asked whether she thought she was robbed of the win, Church replied:

“I think that Panda is a very deserving winner, the whole show is about entertainment and also it’s about the guessing game and Natalie, she didn’t get guessed!

“I had a lovely relationship with Panda on stage, we did lots of coaching. So no, I think she’s a very deserving winner.”

I absolutely loved being your Mushroom, what a joy to be a part of something so focused on singing, which I love! Congrats to the darling Panda and everyone else who took part! 🍄💗🍄💗 #maskedsingeruk pic.twitter.com/R1rg3U4wWH

In response to the suggestion that the judges know who is behind the masks, Church added:

“I didn’t get that vibe. I honestly think that they’re in the dark as much as everyone else. So, I don’t think that’s true.”
