The stars must keep their identity a secret for the entire series until they’re un-masked, even laying low backstage with designated costumes to conceal who they are.

After the identity of Grandfather Clock was revealed to be ex footballer Glen Hoddle, he took to Twitter to share his experience and also revealed what he had to wear behind the scenes.

He wrote: “Yes guys you guest [sic] it right, it was me as the grandfather clock on the @maskedsingeruk. Such a great experience and so surreal. Thanks for all the lovely messages.”
