Denise Van Outen admits it took two people to get her into her Masked Singer outfit – then she was polished
DENISE van Outen has revealed it took two assistants to get her into her Masked Singer outfit- with cleaners then having to polish it.
The TV star, 45, who was unmasked on Saturday's show, complained that the flashy Fox costume was a struggle to wear.
Talking through the procedure, she told : "It’s really heavy. I’d wiggle into it, they’d zip me into it – then they had to polish it.”
The star previously revealed she chose the costume because it meant it would be easier for her to move around onstage while performing.
She said: "I loved it. It made me feel like a secret spy."
Denise kept her Masked Singer identity a secret from her family prior to the big reveal.
Her finance Eddie Boxshall was under the impression she was rehearsing for something else and didn't notice the carrier-bag hiding her disguise to go to and from filming in the back of their wardrobe.
Revealing how she managed to keep her identity hidden, she said: "I never told a soul I was doing the show. My family, Eddie and Betsy, had no idea. It was fun keeping it to myself.
"The hardest part for me was not speaking. I knew half the TV crew from previous jobs!
"I’d love to do the whole series over again. It’s the most fun I’ve had in ages."
