The Masked Singer US: Nicole Scherzinger left speechless after host Nick Cannon unveiled as Bulldog

Nicole Scherzinger and Jenna McCarthy were left screaming with joy as new contestant Bulldog was revealed to be host Nick Cannon on The Masked Singer US last night.

The show’s beloved host has been missing from season 5 after he was forced to miss filming after contracting coronavirus, and the Fox series found the perfect way to announce his return to the role.

The crazy twist began midway through the episode when guest host Niecy Nash introduced the Bulldog as a wildcard contestant.

The tall canine came out wearing a black and gold track suit, black feather boa, gold chains and a bedazzled gold helmet.

Despite dedicating his performance to Niecy, the energetic rendition of Candy Girl by New Edition wasn’t enough to get him through to the next round.

There was initial confusion when Niecy announced that she would be choosing which contestant would get unmasked, however it all made sense with Nick’s face appeared.

Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole’s jaw dropped to the floor while her other judges Robin Thicke, Ken Jeong, and Jenny also couldn’t hide their delight about Nick’s return.

Nick’s ‘reveal’ came after Jake Paul’s unmasking as Grandpa Monster and Racoon was exposed to be Machete Kills star Danny Trejo.

Caitlyn Jenner was also revealed as the Phoenix last month, but the most incredible moment of the series so far was when Kermit The Frog was unmasked as Snail.

The Masked Singer airs on Fox in the US.
