Lorraine Kelly has admitted that there was one person to whom she did have to divulge her secret identity from The Masked Singer.

The 64-year-old broadcaster stunned fans when she was revealed to be Owl on the popular reality show hosted by Joel Dommett in January, having sung the likes of S Club 7’s Don’t Stop Movin’ and Kylie Minogue hit Padam Padam.

Many had not connected the dots as to who she was, but Lorraine has now explained that she did tell her husband, Steve Smith, ahead of time because of logistics meaning she would be away filming.

Due to this, she did not want her cameraman spouse to get the wrong end of the stick.

Appearing on The Graham Norton Show on Friday, host Graham joked: ‘We always think of you as an open book, lovely Lorraine, she’d never lie to you, [but] you didn’t tell anyone you were the Owl on Masked Singer?’

‘I’m so sorry about that!’ chuckled Lorraine before sharing that she had told Steve – and why.

‘So, I had to tell my husband because I was away doing it and he would have wondered where I was and thought that maybe I was having a fling with somebody! So I did have to tell him,’ the ITV star said.

Graham also claimed that Lorriane ‘didn’t need to tell anyone’ as, despite thinking he was ‘hopeless at this show’, he claimed he ‘immediately’ knew it was Lorraine, as soon as she opened her mouth to sing.

After revealing that her eye holes were hidden under Owl’s little beak – not that she could see anything anyway – Lorraine called the experience ‘madness’ and ‘like a stress dream’.

However, she was thrilled she had decided to do it.

‘It was such good fun, I just thought, “Do you know what? This year I’m 65, and I’m going to do silly things” and that’s the silliest thing I’ve ever done – and that’s saying something!’

Steve and Lorraine have been married since 1992 and share daughter Rosie, 29.

The Graham Norton Show airs Fridays from 10:30pm on BBC One. The Masked Singer: The Final airs at 7:20pm on Saturday on ITV1.
