Get ready for a wild ride as we uncover the secrets behind Ben Shephard's 'bizarre' journey on The Masked Singer!
Ben, the presenter behind the Conkers mask, has shared an intriguing tale of his double life as a contestant and interviewer. Imagine the thrill of grilling unmasked celebrities on This Morning, all while keeping his own identity under wraps!
But here's where it gets controversial... Ben admits to feeling 'under-hand' during these interviews, knowing the ins and outs of the show's experience. He even had the chance to pick Davina McCall's brain about being a contestant, all the while keeping his own participation a secret!
"It was an isolating experience," Ben reveals. "Not being able to tell anyone about my involvement made it all the more thrilling."
And this is the part most people miss... Ben's reveal on the show left host Joel Dommett in shock, literally collapsing to the floor! But the twists don't end there. Ben had already appeared as a guest judge during the Halloween special, secretly competing alongside the other masked singers.
"I can't wait to tell my sons about it," Ben says. "They'll have a field day teasing me!"
Ben, a dad to Sam and Jack, is married to Annie Shephard. He also shares that his co-presenter Cat Deeley's children are big fans of the show.
