OHMYGOSSIP — Natalie Imbruglia was convinced Charlotte Church would win ‘The Masked Singer’.
The Australian pop star – who was revealed as Panda and crowned the winner in the ITV series last weekend – was gobsmacked at the result after she beat off competition from Mushroom (Charlotte) to triumph, and the former ‘Neighbours’ actress was just as shocked as many fans were.
Natalie, 47, said: “I was convinced that Mushroom had won it so I was just as gobsmacked.
“I think it’s wonderful that people are so invested in the person that they’re a fan of, or that they’re following, that they feel so strongly about it. But my experience being on the show was just such amazing camaraderie.
“It’s a fun family show. I don’t think it should be seriously competitive in that way.
“And I would hope that the overarching thing is that people just really enjoyed the fun that we all had on the show. Everybody’s a winner.”
The ‘Masked Singer’ judges, Rita Ora, Mo Gilligan, Davina McCall, and Jonathan Ross, were impressed by Natalie’s rendition of Taylor Swift’s ‘Blank Space’, before she went on to perform a duet with Jason Manford, who was unmasked as Hedgehog back in season one.
Natalie has had a long standing friendship with Davina for many years, and admitted the former ‘Big Brother’ presenter was messaging her after the show in disbelief.
She added to The Sun newspaper: “Davina was DMing me [after the show] going, ‘Oh my God, I can’t believe that.’
“And we’re having this back-and-forth chat. She said, ‘I don’t think it’s sunk into you that you’ve just won an eight week competition’, and it’s true, I wasn’t expecting to win.
“But yeah, she was really funny and she was talking about the host [Joel Dommett] because he was quite freaked out that I’ve been hugging him all week.
“So that was quite funny.”
