On the latest episode of The Masked Singer UK, Julia Sawalha was revealed to be the celebrity behind the Bubble Tea costume.
Jennifer Saunders, a guest on the show, was left bewildered when she discovered that Julia was behind the disguise. This realization took her by surprise.
Julia, who portrayed Saffron 'Saffy' Monsoon in the sitcom Absolutely Fabulous for almost 20 years, worked alongside Jennifer, who played her on-screen mother Edina 'Eddie' Monsoon. The show was created by Jennifer and aired from 1992 to 2012.
Following her performance against Owl, Bubble Tea earned the opportunity to unveil herself. When she revealed her true identity, Julia ecstatically screamed "Mummy!" in front of a bewildered Jenifer.
Jennifer exclaimed, "Oh my goodness! What are you doing here, my love?!"
During the latest installment of The Masked Singer UK, actress Julia Sawalha was revealed to be the celebrity behind the Bubble Tea mask.
Julia is an actress who portrayed Saffron 'Saffy' Monsoon on the television show Absolutely Fabulous for two decades, from 1992 to 2012. The series was devised by Jennifer, aged 65, who appeared on the program as Saffron's mother, Edina 'Eddie' Monsoon.
During the weekend, Jennifer, a guest on the panel, was taken by surprise when she found out that Julia was the person behind the mask. She was completely unaware of it and was left stunned.
During her appearance on the program, Julia shared with Joel Dommett her experience on the show and stated, "I've thoroughly enjoyed it. One of my friends mentioned earlier this year that I should incorporate more singing into my performances, Julia."
After that, the idea emerged in my mind and I realized that I must undertake something which completely frightens me.
When asked about the experience of reuniting with her 'mother', she responded by saying it was 'absolutely lovely... incredibly meaningful.'
Nevertheless, some spectators of the program were dubious, and a lot of them used social media to claim that the outcome was rigged. Jennifer was only a temporary panelist and had replaced the usual Rita Ora.
An individual tweeted: "It's so intriguing! The Bubble Tea/Julia Sawalha identity had to be revealed due to the connection with Jennifer Saunders from AbFab. This leads to a more exciting reveal!"
Another person wrote: 'It's obvious that it was a set up and Jennifer Saunders was caught out with the bubble tea.'
"It appears to be a rigged situation. The producers brought in Jennifer Saunders only to ask for Julia Sawalha's removal. I don't usually like to make such claims, but I'm confident in calling it out," another individual stated.
A different enthusiast of the program inquired, "Does this signify that Bubble Tea was uncovered because Jennifer Saunders was part of the panel?"
The true identity of Bubble Tea was unveiled and upon discovering who it was, Julia exclaimed, "Mummy!" This took Jennifer by surprise, causing her to react with shock, asking "What are you doing here, darling?"
Julia and Jennifer acted together in the TV show called Absolutely Fabulous. They played the roles of a mother and daughter. This picture was taken in the fourth season of the show in the year 2001.
Numerous individuals expressed on social media that the outcome had been manipulated because Jennifer filled in for Rita Ora as a guest judge for a brief period on the program.
Another person commented, "It seemed like a setup to expose Julia in front of Jennifer because Owl was certainly inferior to her!"
Another individual commented: 'It was fitting for Bubble tea to be revealed tonight given the identity of the guest judge!'
Another viewer from home wrote that even after watching the reveal, they are still in disbelief about the true identity of Bubble Tea on #MaskedSingerUK.
Another person left a comment saying: 'It was a stroke of brilliance to reveal #BubbleTea this week!'
This week's show started with a performance from Piranha, who sang Bruno Mars' hit song, Treasure.
The performers who went up next were Eiffel Tower. They sang a rendition of Angels, originally performed by Robbie Williams. Davina McCall, one of the judges on the panel, speculated that they might be Sarah Jessica Parker from the television show Sex And The City. However, Jonathan Ross, also a judge, made a different guess and thought it could be Alison Moyet.
The owl sang a song called "Don't Stop Movin'" by a group called S Club 7. Mo Gilligan guessed that the owl could possibly be Kym Marsh, a star from a TV show called Waterloo Road. On the other hand, Saunders guessed that the owl might be a former football player named Alex Scott.
The Air Fryer performed The Final Countdown song from Europe and Ross suggested that it might be Russell Crowe, an actor from Australia.
Last Saturday's episode of The Masked Singer UK unveiled Shirley Ballas, a judge on Strictly Come Dancing, as the Rat performer in the singing competition.
Following the performance, Shirley expressed her thoughts by stating, "I deemed the panel's guesses to be incredibly impressive. They made comparisons to various actors and singers, but unfortunately were unable to decipher any of the hints!"
Shirley expressed her unexpected reaction towards Jonathan Ross, who was a member of the panel. She emphasized that she was surprised because she views him as a close acquaintance.
Shirley, the champion of dance, had offered multiple hints about her true persona while appearing on the program, but managed to perplex the judges, including her close pal Jonathan Ross (as seen in the picture).
After the singing competition, the judges concluded that Owl deserved to stay and Bubble Tea had to reveal their true identity.
After the latest episode of the singing competition, it was made known that Shirley Ballas from Strictly Come Dancing was the disguised individual known as Rat.
During a conversation about the panel's predictions, Shirley expressed to host Joel Dommett, "I felt really good about myself because I don't sing at all. And when I heard some of the names that were being suggested, I was impressed!"
One of the most remarkable moments in my life has been when I pushed beyond my comfort level and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Shirley expressed her shock regarding the performance of Jonathan Ross as a panellist. She mentioned that she and Jonathan are friends and have appeared on each other's shows. They had even talked about their experiences climbing Kilimanjaro. Despite this, Shirley was surprised that Jonathan did not pick up on some of the clues during the game.
"They were way off, they referred to me as some incredible vocalists and performers! I appreciate that!"
Shirley, who is a champion in dance, hinted at her true identity multiple times while she was a part of the show.
Alexander Armstrong expressed his joy in being featured on a popular TV program, The Masked Singer UK, while wearing a costume resembling a rooster.
After the first week of the series, Dionne Warwick was revealed as the first character to have their mask removed (as shown in a picture from last month).
She stated that she had encountered a risky situation after scaling Mount Kilimanjaro to raise funds for Comic Relief in 2019, while the tattoos on her costume were a reference to the body artwork that she had inked on her posterior.
According to her, she inked tattoos throughout her backside and engraved her partner's name on it. Although she has doubts about tattooing her boyfriend's name, which may not have been the best idea. Bruno Tonioli used to request to see her tattoos frequently.
Shirley left the show following the revelation that Alexander Armstrong, the host of Pointless, had been disguised as Chicken Caesar in the second week of the latest season, with singer Dionne Warwick also being unmasked as Weather in the opening episode.
