But yeah, the guesses were part of the fun. I know Davina [McCall] and Jonathan quite well, so hearing them guess the completely wrong names was great.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Additional reporting by Grace Henry.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><b>The Masked Singer on ITV and ITV Hub continues on Saturday evenings.\u00a0<\/b><\/strong><strong>If you\u2019re looking for more to watch, check out our\u00a0<a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/&quot;\">TV Guide<\/a>.
