ITV The Masked Singer's Traffic Cone 'unveiled' as Russell Watson breaks silence

Russell Watson announced he knows who is behind the Traffic Cone costume on this series of The Masked Singer.

The 55-year-old musician was interviewed by Adil Ray and Susanna Reid on today's edition of Good Morning Britain.

Some fans of the ITV singing show are convinced Russell is the voice behind the extraordinary costume on season 3 of the hit programme.

Adil quizzed him on the speculation - and Russell claimed he was certain it was actually Aled Jones in the suit.

He said: "I know who that is. The strange thing is, I didn’t know who it was when I saw the first performance, I had no idea. Then I heard the second performance and I know who it is. I’m absolutely certain.

"He’s not admitted it, he’s not mentioned it at all, but I’m convinced that is my mate Aled Jones."

The broadcasters were unsure if Russell was bluffing as Adil claimed his voice is "too deep".

However, the singer kept his poker face as he insisted he thought it was his friend of 20 years.

Comedian Rob Beckett left fans in hysterics at the weekend when he "accidentally" revealed he was behind the Traffic Cone costume during Saturday's show.

He tweeted : "Just send this out once I've been unmasked'

"Thanks for all the support being the Traffic Cone I absolutely loved it. Great show. The kids couldn’t believe it was me."

Traffic Cone sung "Never Gonna Give You Up" and “When Somebody Loved Me” on the latest episode.

The judges guessed it could be Peter Andre, Chris Kamara, Olly Murs or Alistair Brownlee in the costume.

Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6am on ITV and the ITV Hub.
