Joel Dommett Reveals Funny Dressing Room Secrets of Masked Singer Star

Joel Dommett, the host of ITV’s popular show The Masked Singer, is known for his secret-keeping abilities. However, he recently shared some amusing dressing room revelations, particularly about panelist Jonathan Ross. The show, which has garnered a viewership of about 4.5 million since its launch in 2020, continues to capture the imagination of audiences.

Behind the Scenes of The Masked Singer

Dommett described Ross’s dressing room as a lavish space, showcasing an array of unique decor. He mentioned that a van delivers Ross’s items before filming, transforming the dressing area into a vibrant boutique. In contrast, Dommett’s own dressing room is quite plain.

• Ross’s room features:
• Decorative armchairs
• Magazines and vinyl records
• Art pieces

Dommett humorously noted Ross’s extensive knowledge of the entertainment industry, calling him an “encyclopedia of knowledge.” This expertise aids in guessing the identities of the mystery celebrities on the show, alongside fellow panelists Mo Gilligan, Maya Jama, and Davina McCall.

Jonathan Ross’s Dressing Room Secrets

Dommett even spilled some secrets about Ross’s home dressing room, which he described as having a raised floor made of Perspex. This structure supposedly holds various pairs of shoes. A button-operated mechanism allows Ross to display his shoes, although it recently malfunctioned.

In addition to an impressive suit collection, Ross has a personal bar and an art collection full of pieces that are meaningful to him. Dommett fondly referred to Davina McCall as his “TV mother,” highlighting her youthful appearance and charm.

Memorable Moments on The Masked Singer

The show is packed with bloopers and unexpected incidents. Dommett recalled a hilarious moment involving Rita Ora, who mistook a contestant for Muhammad Ali, unaware of his passing. Another amusing incident involved a young girl in the audience who mistakenly identified Whitney Houston, resulting in laughter from thousands.

Joel Dommett’s Journey

Reflecting on his journey, Dommett shared how he grew up on a remote farm in Gloucestershire. Moving to London to pursue comedy, he quickly became immersed in the stand-up scene, performing at multiple gigs each night.

Off stage, he balances his career with family life. Married to Hannah and a father to their two-year-old son Wilde, Dommett’s fame has introduced some challenges, such as dealing with enthusiastic fans shouting the show’s catchphrase outside their home in Shepperton, Surrey. In response, he installed a gate and planted a hedge for privacy.

Upcoming Events

Currently, The Masked Singer airs on Saturdays at 6:30 p.m. on ITV. Additionally, Dommett is set to embark on his Happy Idiot UK tour next month, a title he feels encapsulates his comedic persona.
