THE MASKED Singer viewers were stunned by Davina McCall’s hair transformation and were quick to point out something very familiar about it.
The popular ITV singing competition returned to our screens last night with 12 new costumed acts which will be revealed over the next few weeks.
Presenter Davina, 55, joined Rita Ora, Jonathan Ross and Mo Gilligan as she showed off her dramatic haircut.
Davina wore her brunette tresses sleek and straight over her shoulders, while she showcased a brand new fringe that got everyone talking.
Many viewers couldn’t help but compare Davina’s new fringe to Courteney Cox’s infamous Scream 3 super-short bangs.
Courteney’s character Gale Weathers became known for her signature wispy fringe – which was in fact a fake clip-on that she sported throughout the third instalment.
One fan shared a photo of Cox in character as the fame-seeking reporter, with the caption: “Davina giving Scream 3 vibes.”
Another posted: “Davina McCall may be a queen, but not even she can get away with cutting in a fringe with a knife and fork…”
A third said: “Davina’s new fringe is reminding me of Gale Weathers.”
Someone else tweeted: “What has Davina done to her hair?!”
Although her hair transformation may have left some divided, Davina still managed to wow fans in a figure-hugging neon orange strapless dress.
She was seen backstage showing off her incredible figure in the skintight mini dress.
The first celebrity to be revealed was none other than Chris Kamara who was dressed as Ghost.
The bottom three acts were Cat and Mouse, Knitting and Ghost.
The former footballer and TV presenter is the first to be eliminated from this year’s Masked Singer.
Kammy, who is living with the condition apraxia of speech, took many fans by surprise, with actor Louis Emerick writing on Twitter: “Wow! Didn’t see that!!! Well in mate.”
Another viewer said: “Wow.. Ghost! Amazing reveal!! Did not think of him at all.”
A third commented: “Well i was completely wrong with Ghost.”
When Ghost first took to the stage to sing The Drifters’ Save The Last Dance For Me, viewers questioned if producers ran out of money before creating the character’s look.
It was very basic, comprising of a white sheet with large eyes and red boots.
One viewer said: “Obviously run out of budget when it got to ghosts costume.”
Another posted: “Whoever ghost is spent their costume budget on stuff other than the costume.”
A third said: “Did @itvstudios run out of budget for the ghost costume… it’s literally a sheet.”
Chris said of his outfit: “I loved it. It was simple but that’s what I really liked about it. It was hard to sing in though. I never realised how hard that would be. It’s very claustrophobic.”
