The Masked Singer UK: Martine McCutcheon is revealed to be Swan

Martine McCutcheon became the latest celebrity to be unmasked on Saturday’s episode of The Masked Singer 2021.

The former EastEnders star, 44, was revealed to be the Swan character with judge Jonathan Ross correctly guessing her identity before the unmasking.

Martine found herself in a sing-off with Sausage, whose identity is yet to be revealed, and despite impressing with her rendition of Black Velvet by Alannah Myles, the actress was voted off.   

Talking about her time on the show, the star said: ‘I just thought it would be so lovely just to come out and have fun!’ 

To which Davina replied: ‘You look fantastic,’ with Martine adding: ‘That’s lovely, thank you!’  

Fellow judges Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan and Rita Ora were wrong with their answers after they guessed Kimberly Wyatt, Ashley Roberts and Idina Menzel as the Swan – respectively.

As one of her clues before being unmasked during the show, Swan teased that she had served a Prime Ministers and had deals with more than one president of the USA.

After her unveiling, Martine revealed that her statement was in fact a nod at her role as Natalie in Love Actually, where she acts as a secretary to Prime Minister David, played by Hugh Grant, where she also meets with US president (Billy Bob Thornton).

Although the actress revealed that she had a real run-in with a US president as she once sat next to Donald Trump at Liza Minnelli’s wedding.

She said of her meeting with Trump, 74: ‘Liza Minnelli’s wedding, I was a guest, I got to be her bridesmaid and next to me was Trump. So make of that as you will!’ 

Prior to her unmasking, judge Jonathan said: ‘President, Prime Minister, is making me think of the film Love Actually. Of course I think that’s Martine McCutcheon ladies and gentlemen!’ 

And after Martine’s unveiling, Jonathan quipped: ‘I was right for once!’
