The Masked Singer’s Mole Dommett is revealed as huge British singer after late entry to the competition – before joining the judging panel
Mole Dommett from The Masked Singer was revealed to be British singer Olly Murs after his late entry into the competition last week.
So far this season, Sex Pistols star John Lydon, rapper Professor Green, singer Kate Nash and Judge Anton Du Beke have been unmasked.
Just last week, host Joel Dommett challenged ‘double agent’ Mole Dommett to the competition. Mole Dommett’s job was to secretly give viewers clues about the contestants in their VTs.
However, Joel confirmed that Mole will also be unmasked in detail in Saturday’s episode, despite his occasional appearances.
On Saturday’s episode, Mole was finally unmasked as The X Factor star and subsequently joined the judges alongside Davina McCall, Maya Jama, Jonathan Ross and Mo Gilligan.
But fans had a choice to make with the producers, as they were only given a single clue to Moel’s identity: a nod to his 2014 track Wrapped Up.

Just last week, host Joel Dommett invited ‘double agent’ Mole Dommett to the competition; this person’s job was to secretly give viewers clues about the contestants on their VTs.
Elsewhere in the episode, Red Panda, who was not featured in the first episode, was the final star to be unmasked.
The character was revealed to be none other than comedy legend and TV Burp star Harry Hill.
Fans of the show were quick to share their shock at the reveal, saying that it put an end to people guessing him as different characters.
They wrote: ‘I can finally stop guessing Harry Hill for every contestant ever’; ‘It had to be Harry Hill eventually’;
‘People have failed so much over the years trying to guess Harry Hill’; ‘This is it. We can stop guessing Harry Hill for every contestant.’
Red Panda’s place in the competition did not come without drama, as they were noticeably absent from the opening episode.
The character was dramatically removed from the launch episode just hours before it was released.
The decision to scrap the performance follows the deadly fire at Le Constellation bar in Switzerland on New Year’s Eve, in which nearly 40 people died after a sudden fire broke out in the venue.
