GLENN HODDLE was unveiled as Grandfathe­r Clock on last night’sthe Masked Singer.

The former England manager and player and ITV commentato­r went head to head withviking after the audience vote and was the one to be unveiled by the four judges.

Guesses included Peter Shilton, Gary Lineker and even Ianwright because of the football and punditry clues but none got close, although Jonathan Ross had mentioned his name in a previous episode.

During last night’s show, Harlequin sang Smile by Nat King Cole, Grandfathe­r Clock performed Can’t Smilewitho­utyou by Barry Manilow and Blob choseword Up by Cameo.

In their bid to impress the audience, Viking sangwaterm­elon Sugar by Harry Styles while Bush Baby performed A

Little Less Conversati­on by Elvis Presley vs JXL.

The cult ITV show returned for a second series on Boxing Day with a new batch of 12 stars doing their best not to get identified by judges Jonathan Ross, Rita Ora, Davina Mccall and Mo Gilligan.

This season has already seen Martine Mccutcheon unmasked as Swan, Mel B as Seahorse and Sophie Ellis-bextor as Alien.
