host Joel Dommett was left feeling bashful as he showed off his legs in a pair of tiny short.
During Saturday’s visit (January 12) to the studios, Wolf, Bush, Toad in the Hole, Bear, and Pufferfish take to the stage to sing their hearts out for the nation.
It was up to the star-studded judging panel to work out who the famous faces were performing from behind the mask.
Returning to the show as armchair detectives was Jonathan Ross, Maya Jama, Davina McCall, and Mo Gilligan. But this week, the team welcomed a surprise guest judge Suranne Jones to the panel.
Despite the impressive performance by all six stars, fans couldn’t take their eyes off of the beloved host who certainly dressed to the nines for the beach-themes episode. He rocked a blue and white striped suit which he paired with a white button-down shirt and silver necktie.

Joel teamed the daring ensemble with a pair of matching striped suit shorts and a pair of black suspenders which held up his white socks, exposing his hairy knees to the audience.
Even guest judge Suranne Jones couldn’t help but comment on the star’s impressive legs in his daring new suit. The Doctor Foster star gushed: “May I say, in those short shorts, your thighs are looking lovely Joel, honestly.”
Feeling sheepish, Joel mumbled: “Stop it Suranne, but also, keep going.” It was at this point that Jonathan Ross joked: “Hey Suranne, wait until the end of the show, then he’ll be in budgie smugglers!”
It didn’t take long before viewers flooded to X – formerly known as Twitter – to share their thoughts on his wild ensemble online. One user penned: “He has to be careful in those shorts. We’ve seen giant Joel this series, we don’t want to see little Joel. #MaskedSingerUK.”

Another agreed: “The shorts are a yes @joeldommett #MaskedSingerUK” as a third echoed: “Joel in shorts #CostaDelJoel, this is muy fave costume!! [winking emoji] #themaskedsinger #maskedsingeruk.”
At the end of the show, Bear and Toad in the Hole received the least votes and went head to head in a sing-off to secure their place in next week’s show.
Ultimately, Toad in the Hole failed to wow the judges enough and was unmasked as 90s pop sensation Macy Gray. Viewers will have to stay tuned to see which celebrity will be unmasked next week.
The Masked Singer airs on Saturday from 7pm on ITV1 or catch up on ITVX.
