Who is Air Fryer in The Masked Singer UK 2024? First clue...
For the first time in Masked Singer history, we heard from each of the characters ahead of the show's launch. Were there any cryptic clues hidden within their opening statements?
Air Fryer's first clue was: "Being on The Masked Singer is petrifying and freeing all at the same time" and their description was: "Here for a frying visit."
At first, we thought of another show that's known for being a "petrifying" experience — I'm A Celebrity. So could they have been a former I'm A Celeb campmate braving another scary challenge? MasterChef star Grace Dent recently took part and an Air Fryer would have been a fitting costume if she were to grace The Masked Singer stage since she is a food critic.
Another thought we also had was the potential that it could have been a play on words. "Petrify" could mean "change to stone" so the star could have been a famous geologist or environmentalist? Maybe it was hinting at a famous person with the surname Stone.
After Air Fryer's reveal, we were definitely wrong with our original guesses.
Who is Air Fryer in The Masked Singer UK 2024? Costume clues...
Air Fryer's costume is rather robotic with black sequins and a white exterior, complete with a digital smiley face that can change their expression and lights on the top, which looks like they could be a relative of EVE from WALL-E.
The costume really wasn't giving anything away here, but a random fact we discovered was that Olympic gold medallist runner Sir Mo Farah has his own air fryer brand. This would also fit the description of "here for a frying visit" given his speediness.
This wouldn’t be his first reality TV stint if it were to be him, as he appeared on I’m A Celebrity 2021. Mo was definitely not behind the mask in the end!
All episodes of The Masked Singer UK 2024 are available to watch on ITVX.
