The 55-year-old star has served as a judge ITV competition - which sees celebrities dress up in in whacky costumes in an attempt to conceal their identity as they sing - and admitted that she gets teary on set.

Speaking ahead of the launch of the new series, she said: "I cry. Absolutely. Jellyfish is an extraordinary performer and has made us all feel very emotional. Rhino, as well, has been particularly emotive. It's lucky for Rhino that they can pull some emotion out of the bag, because it's hard in that costume to give us anything!"

The former 'Big Brother' host - who sits on the judging panel of 'The Masked Singer' alongside fellow TV star Jonathan Ross, comedian Mo Gilligan and pop singer Rita Ora - went on to add that the mystery celebrity behind the Rhino costume is "so sweet" ahead of the series premiere on New Years Day 2023.

She added: "They are massive and they are quite humble. They keep putting their little hooves together - it looks so sweet!"

The new series of 'The Masked Singer' - which last year was won by 'Torn' hitmaker Natalie Imbruglia after successfully battling her way through the show dressed as Panda - will feature a string of other stars dressed as Fawn, Jacket Potato, Piece of Cake, Pigeon, Rubbish, Ghost, Jellyfish, Knitting, Otter , Phoeniz and a duo named Cat and Mouse and Rita teased that this year some of the lineup are making it harder for the panel to suss them out by masking their voices.

She is quoted by The Daily Star newspaper as saying: "Actors and performers are doing that more this series. I don't know if that's a great strategy for the singers because I don't know how long you'll last if you're doing that when you belt out a big number. But for the actors and the ones who are not technically singers, they're doing all these other things that I think are going to keep them in the competition.
