Strictly Come Dancing judge Anton Du Beke has been unmasked as the Arctic Fox on ITV's The Masked Singer. The television personality, known for his role on the BBC show, made a surprise appearance on the ITV guessing game, performing Barbra Streisand's 'Woman in Love' before being voted off.
Speaking to host Joel Dommett after his elimination, Du Beke said: 'I've loved every second of it, it's been the most wonderful thing so thank you!' When asked how he felt about leaving, he added: 'Devastated naturally. Delighted to be able to perform but devastated to have been voted off!'
Du Beke, 57, revealed he joined the show as a surprise for his eight-year-old twins, whom he shares with wife Hannah Summers. He said: 'I'm just a huge fan and I know my children are loving this. I haven't told them, I've been very good. ... So when they see the unveiling they are going to be overwhelmed. It's going to be brilliant!'
His departure was part of a double elimination, with singer Kate Nash also unmasked as Monkey Business. Nash performed 'As Long As He Needs Me' from Oliver! and described the experience as 'a unique experience'.
