Joel Dommett was offered a “half-price” discount by an electrician in exchange for confidential ‘Masked Singer’ secrets.
Joel Dommett gets asked about the Masked Singer all the time
The presenter of the bonkers ITV entertainment show - which sees famous faces dress in a disguise to hide their identities before being unmasked - often has to “deal with” a barrage of questions about the true identity of the competing celebrities.
And he revealed the workman was desperate for Joel to tell him who Panda is on the current season.
The 36-year-old stand-up told The Mirror: "I do get asked all the time. Put it this way, I got a quote yesterday from an electrician and he said 'I’ll do it for half price if you tell me who Panda is'.”
Luckily for the show's bosses, the funnyman refused to give anything away.
He added: “It is not worth it for me but that is what I am dealing with."
However, he does find it hard when he's around his model wife Hannah Cooper.
He said: "I try as a rule to never say the name of anyone who is in the mask once I have left the studio. I try to block the show out of my mind.
"Then when it is on I watch it with Hannah and sometimes if it is an amazing, amazing thing I might have told her something about it but generally it is best I keep it from her and she can play along.
"Then when she says a name, I say to her the same thing I say to everyone which is 'hmmm … interesting guess'."
Meanwhile, Joel commended judge Jonathan Ross - who sits on the panel with Rita Ora, Mo Gilligan, and Davina McCall on Saturday nights at 7pm - after he “stepped up" his game with his guesses at the stars’ true identity on the current series.
He said: "I feel like Jonathan went up a notch and gave less ridiculous names and actually zoned in on the clues and he was really surprised everyone this year.
"He delivered. I think Jonathan was like the funniest he’s ever been on the show and I thought he gave the best answers for the people on the show and we all love working with him."
'The Masked Singer' continues on Saturday (29.01.22) from 7pm on ITV.
