Unveiling the Mask: Mars Mouse's Hidden Identity Revealed
Say goodbye to the sparkling Mars mouse! This enchanting character will no longer be gracing the stage of music costume competition "The Masked Singer". Behind the elaborate golden-blue fur mask, none other than our beloved German journalist and actor, Jenke von Wilmsdorff, hid. Known for his captivating documentaries and true-crime episodes on ProSieben, Von Wilmsdorff took the stage by storm.
"I loved every moment!"
"The Masked Singer" features celebrities concealed in grandiose costumes, dazzling audiences with their impeccable singing skills. A panel of judges endeavors to guess the hidden identities, all while subtly dropping hints along the way. Before and after performances, the singers' voices are subject to digital distortions, while during the actual performances, their voices remain untouched. The audience gets a chance to vote, deciding who receives the chop each week.
Hailing from South Korea, this music installment show has already made its way across various countries, including Germany, where the ninth season is currently airing. Last weekend, the Mars mouse touched down in the third episode.
The Mars Mouse joined the party late
Von Wilmsdorff made his debut in "The Masked Singer" in the second episode. Fascinatingly enough, he served as a panel judge during the inaugural episode. Post-unmasking, the TV journalist had this to say: "I loved every moment! I almost ran out of oxygen, but it was worth it."
The Kiwi bird's nerve-racking brush with exposure
Undoubtedly, the most surprising development of the night took place with the Kiwi bird. During its performance, a gust of wind unexpectedly dislodged the display, threatening to expose the celebrity hidden beneath.
But, ProSieben decided to leave Kiwi in the game, slyly incorporating the incident into the third episode's narrative. Huge safety pins were added to the bird costume, with presenter Matthias Opdenhövel reminding the performer to dance with care. After all, the audience wanted to give Kiwi another shot at victory.
Characters still standing tall
Remaining in the music competition are a dynamic array of characters, including the chill-inducing Ice Princess, the Christmassy Klaus Claus, the mysterious Musle Mustang, the wayward Troll, the attention-grabbing Giant One-Eyed Plush Lollipop, and, of course, forever-resilient Kiwi.
Previous contestants bid farewell
Before the Mars Mouse, the fire extinguisher (hosting Eva Padberg) and the Okapi animal (Katja Ebstein) were eliminated during earlier episodes.
