The Masked Singer UK 2024 returned as twelve mystery celebrities took to the stage wearing utterly bonkers costumes to disguise their identity.
The 12 brand-new outrageous characters looked crazier than ever, and one costume who was first to be eliminated from the competition was Weather.
After putting on a lightning performance, who is Weather in The Masked Singer UK 2024?
Who is Weather in The Masked Singer UK 2024?
Weather was the first celebrity to be unmasked and she was revealed to be soul legend Dionne Warwick.
Talking about taking part in the show, she said: "It's been an absolute joy, when I was asked to the show I was like yes let's have some fun, but I can never try to disguise my voice!"

Who is Weather in The Masked Singer UK 2024? Show clues...
Week one clues:
Voiceover clue: "I am the powerful, world-dominating Weather. I forecast a mighty storm of blues heading inland. Across the ocean, the lakes and pond. Come hell or high water. Who am I kidding? I don't wanna rain on your parade. British weather is barmy. It's always raining and so unpredictable. I haven't always been this powerful, you know. People were foggy about my identity when I started. Nowadays, everyone talks about the weather."
Riddle Me This clue: "Sun, wind and rain are key parts of my core, but one of the panellists has seen me before."
Item clues:
- Two books, one reading "Benji's Diary" with a big red private sticker over it and another one that says "Quiet Storm Days."
- Fish in a fishing net with a label saying: "Fish: McHaliburt From: Boston."
Who is Weather in The Masked Singer UK 2024? Guesses...
Jonathan Ross guessed a number of soul singers and suggested Grace Jones, Chaka Khan and Dionne Warwick. Charlie Simpson went for Macy Grey, Mo Gilligan said Bonnie Tyler and Davina McCall guessed Sade and Dionne Warwick.
Who is Weather 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?
Weather's first clue was: "You know the weather is very unpredictable" and their description was: "Ready to storm the stage."
We thought that this clue could be hinting that the celebrity's personality was as unpredictable as the weather or maybe they hosted a game show with unpredictable outcomes.
Another way of looking at the clue was that it could have also meant that the star under the mask was someone we least expect?
Although fans were stunned to see Dionne back on stage, fans knew immediately that it was her due to her distinctive singing voice.
Who is Weather in The Masked Singer UK 2024? Costume clues...
Weather has a cloud head with a sun on their left and lightning bolts on the right, as well as another cloud on their right shoulder. They have a long blue dress with droplets hanging down at the sleeves to resemble rain and the bottom transitions into a white colour.
Weather presenter Carol Kirkwood was someone who came to mind. She is the main weather presenter on BBC Breakfast and has presented the BBC's The Weather Show, as well as The Great British Weather.
Although this is probably way too obvious of a guess, it wouldn't be the first time Carol has taken part in a reality show after she competed in Strictly Come Dancing 2015.
Of course, all of our theories proved to be wrong after the unmasking!
All episodes of The Masked Singer UK 2024 are available to watch on ITVX.
