Who is Owl 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?
Owl's first clue was: "I just want to have fun!" and their description was: "They're a real hoot."
There wasn't much to go off here, but we thought the first clue be hinting at Cyndi Lauper's popular song Girls Just Want To Have Fun? Of course, the iconic pop star is no stranger to the stage and her colourful 80s music video proves that she must be a real hoot to be around!
Unfortunately we were incorrect with our guess as it was none other than Lorraine Kelly behind the mask.
Who is Owl in The Masked Singer UK 2024? Costume clues...
The costume is another playful take on an animal, which The Masked Singer have done quite a few times in previous years such as with Panda and Pigeon.
This character is a brown owl with huge orange eyes, dressed in a red school uniform and they've completed the look with brown boots with the owl's talons poking through.
Owl didn't seem to be giving anything away with their costume, but one of our first thoughts was maybe that the school uniform hinted that the celebrity may be studious and hard-working.
All episodes of The Masked Singer UK 2024 are available to watch on ITVX.
