Queen Bee: Masked Singer star’s identity sealed in girl band clue?
Speaking about the series, Crazy Rich Asians and The Hangover actor Jeong said: “The Masked Singer is four game shows rolled into one.
“It’s part Pop Idol, part The Voice, part Dancing With The Stars, and a little big vintage What’s My Line. There is nothing else like it.”
He’s also taken part in the US edition of the show which originally started off in Asia.
On the differences between the American and British versions of The Masked Singer, he said: “I have always wanted to do a show in the U.K. and the offer to be a part of the U.K. Masked Singer was too good to pass up.
“What’s remarkable about the U.K. Masked Singer is how similar the dynamics are than what’s obviously different.”
Who is the Hedgehog on The Masked Singer UK 2020?
During the show, the Hedgehog gave some clues as he informed viewers: “I’m quite a homely creature.
“Although most often than not, I’m active at night. Of course, I am, I’m a hedgehog.
“Am I a prickly character? I don’t think so. I’m more introverted than people might expect but I’m very friendly.”
He went on to say: “My natural habitat is being on stage. I love it. Hedgehogs usually like to hibernate for half of the year but not me, I like to stay busy.
