I\u2019ve never sung in my life – in fact, it was a bit of a phobia,” said Jones, the presenter of The One Show, following her exit. “But I was convinced to do this because the kids love the programme so I thought, ‘okay let\u2019s do it.'”<\/p>\n “What a nice place to be in. To get to a point in my career where I can say, ‘Yeah I’ll do that’. Where I don’t take myself too seriously,” said Professor Green following his own elimination. “I thought people would have enjoyed Teabag. It was quite scary.”<\/p>\n The Masked Singer returns next Saturday at 7pm on ITV1 and ITVX and you can catch up on the series on ITVX.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>
