Roman Kemp's Masked Singer shock as he gives foul mouthed reaction to Martin and Shirley's reveal

Roman Kemp didn't even try and hide his shock as mum and dad, Shirley and Martin Kemp, were revealed as The Masked Singer's Cat and Mouse, reacting with an foul mouthed post on Twitter, within moments of their unmasking.

After Cat and Mouse made their debut on The Masked Singer two weeks ago, a whole host of double acts were linked to the celebs inside the costume, including Heart Breakfast presenters Amanda Holden and Jamie Theakston and Good Morning Britain hosts Ben Shephard and Susanna Reid.

But, two names that kept cropping up again and again were Martin and Shirley's, with some fans instantly recognised their voices from the alum of duets they released a few years ago. And, the deal was sealed for many watching Saturday night's show, with the appearance of a picture of Queen Victoria in Cat and Mouse's latest VT.

That clue was clocked by panellist Jonathan Ross, only for the talk show host to then guess at Adam Woddyatt and Maisie Smith, rather than Martin and Shirley. Cat and Mouse lost out in this week's sing-off to Knitting, who many fans are convinced is Claire Richards, before Martin and Shirley unveiled themselves, to the surprise of the panel.

But no-one was more flabbergasted at seeing Martin and Shirley on screen than their son, TV and radio host Roman. Shirley confessed that Roman had no idea, as they'd kept their involvement in The Masked Singer a secret from him.

And, within moments of their reveal, Roman turned the air blue on Twitter by responding: "ARE YOU F**KING JOKING?" before following that up with: "I JUST SHOUTED THE PHRASE “TAKE IT OFF” TO MY PARENTS I CANT UNDO THAT," and then sharing a clip of the key moment and adding: "That’s enough internet for today…"

Roman also took his surprise to Instagram, uploading a video of himself asking: "Can someone please explain what is going on?"

O ne of his followers replied: "I’ve been waiting for this reaction," with another commenting: "Lmfao your reaction is priceless."
