MASKED Singer fans were left stunned as Davina McCall debuted her bold new look – with some failing to recognise her.

The hit ITV guessing show returned on Saturday as host Joel Dommett announced there’d be a double elimination.

But as the panel took their seats fans at home were left double-taking at Davina.

The 57-year-old’s signature brunette locks were nowhere to be seen as she rocked a shorter blonde look.

Davina – who is recovering from major brain surgery and filmed Masked Singer last year – was wearing a wig for the episode.

The TV legend looked incredible as she confidently slayed the look in a vivid animal-print outfit.

Posting on social media, one viewer said: “I wondered who that was in the blonde wig, it’s Davina.”

A second wrote: “Why has Davina McCall morphed into Gail Platt?”

“Barely recognised Davina with that blonde wig,” said a third.

While a fourth commented: “What in the wig is going on with Davina’s hair?!”

The Sun first revealed Davina’s new look last year ahead of the new series of The Masked Singer.

A pal previously said: “Davina always likes to shake things up every series, if not every episode of The Masked Singer — and that goes beyond her clothes.

“She wore the wig in the photoshoot which took place earlier this year, which was months before she was diagnosed with the tumour.

“The two things are entirely coincidental and not in any way related.

“The blonde look isn’t a permanent one either, she’ll be changing it up throughout the series.”
