Following the show Keisha admitted she had “started to embrace Moth”, adding her unveiling was a “relief”.<\/p>\n

The star said: “It felt like a relief in a way because every show Maya Jama<\/a> kept guessing it was me and from quite early on so I was excited to see everyone\u2019s reaction who disagreed with her.<\/p>\n

“I was smiling the entire time! There were so many amazing singers on the show, especially Toastie, so I honestly didn\u2019t expect to get so far down the competition. It felt amazing.”<\/p>\n

Mo was also speechless as he yelled: “The deception! I can’t believe this.”<\/p>\n

Commenting on one of the biggest surprises in The Masked Singer History, Ben admitted: “I\u2019ve loved it. The experience has been remarkable. Really special. I loved that side of it.<\/p>\n

“As a rule, I think I\u2019m pretty straight down the line and the fact I got to do something so under-hand. Davina was talking to me in the most minute detail about what happens when you\u2019re a contestant on the show. I was asking her loads of questions.”<\/p>\n

Confessing he was “not necessarily the best singer”, Ben went on to say he has been interviewing the unmasked celebrities on This Morning.<\/p>\n

The host said: “They have no idea I\u2019m on the show and still in it! It\u2019s an isolating experience going on this show as you can\u2019t tell anyone. I can\u2019t wait to be able to talk to everyone about it.”<\/p>\n
