Unplanned Revelation: Celeb Exposed on 'Masked Singer'
Attention, folks! Sunday night became an unplanned episode of 'The Masked Singer' due to 'Wetten, dass...'? on Saturday. This time, double the drama! Not one, but two masked celebs experienced an unplanned exposure.
Slipping Up: The Kiwi's Surprise Reveal
Kicking off the show, the Kiwi made his anticipated appearance before the jury of Ruth Moschner (47), Alvaro Soler (32), and guest judge Heiner Lauterbach (70). Performing "She's like the wind," gusts of wind on stage unfortunately caused an embarrassing mishap - the Kiwi's mask slipped! The viewers enjoyed the quick glimpse of the apparent actor as Uwe Ochsenknecht (67), which sparked plenty of online frenzy.
What ensued was an unusual situation: on one hand, Heiner Lauterbach (Uwe's close friend) sat on the jury, and on the other hand, he had to "guess" whose voice he had just heard. For a moment, Lauterbach remained coy but eventually admitted it was none other than Uwe Ochsenknecht.
While the jury members discussed possible contestants, Ruth Moschner suggested Jürgen Vogel (55) and Martin Klempnow (50) - but the surprise was probably over.
In the Spotlight: The Fire Extinguisher
Despite the Kiwi's unplanned exposure, the voters saved him for another round. The unlucky contestant became the fire extinguisher, who gave a decent performance to "I love it." Alvaro Soler (who, being taller, naturally cozied up to the tall costume) jokingly remarked, "You're very tall for a woman!"
The jury tried to guess the identity of the fire extinguisher, with Lauterbach suggesting Nadja Auermann (known for model qualities) and Eva Padberg (whose height could also be attributed to model traits).
When the time came to vote, Soler selected Stefanie Giesinger, Moschner contemplated between Lena Gercke and Sonya Kraus, and Lauterbach stayed true to his model instincts with Eva Padberg. In fact, Lauterbach had somehow managed to connect the dots between the Kiwi and the fire extinguisher, as it turned out to be none other than Eva Padberg.
A Fun-filled Experience for Eva Padberg
Thrilled to be part of the show, Eva Padberg (who apologized for having to fib throughout her participation) described it as her playground. She told Gianni Taffin, a fellow 'Masked Singer' contestant, that she felt like being in a toy store. Regardless, she expressed her gratitude to everyone she had to falsify information for and begged for forgiveness.
