Oops a Daisy, Kelis
US star is second professional kicked off Masked Singer
KELIS was gutted to be booted off The Masked Singer, saying: “It is what it is.”
The pop star, who has sold six million records worldwide and had 10 Top 10 UK hits, hinted she felt her daisy outfit let her down.
She said: “If I were to do it all over again, I’d have done something a little more dramatic or elaborate because that’s me.”
The New Yorker, 40, lost out to Monster, who many believe is CeeLo Green.
She said the two weeks of filming the ITV show was “tough”, adding:
“Wearing a mask every day. No talking. Staying in your trailer. That was a first.”
Asked about panellists Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall, Rita Ora and Donny Osmond, she said:“They had a job to do.”
Kelis admitted being the fifth of 12 contestants to leave was hard. She is the first US star and second professional singer to be unmasked – after Justin Hawkins was revealed as the Chameleon.
Describing her departure as “bitter sweet”, the mum-of-two said: “I definitely was getting a little competitive.”
The singer said she agreed to take part for sons, Knight, 10 and four-year-old Shepherd. “They thought it was the coolest thing in the world,” she said.
■ Two people will be unmasked on next Saturday’s show, from 7pm.
POP star Kelis proved to be a precious petal when her Daisy lost out to Monster on ITV’s The Masked Singer.
The pro singer may have been left wilting by the result but this celebrity guessing game is bloomin’ marvellous fun for viewers.
