GMB: Richard Blackwood addresses Masked Singer rumours
EastEnders star Richard Blackwood has addressed The Masked Singer UK rumours with a cryptic comment.
The actor appeared on Good Morning Britain on Tuesday (January 21), where he was questioned by hosts Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley about his connections to Bear - one of the characters on the ITV singing competition.
"He's a very funny guy. He's the stand-up soap star, best known for his breakout role in Albert Square, and now Richard Blackwood is returning to his comedic roots for his funniest show, people are saying, to date," Madeley began.
Susanna added: "But fans and Jonathan Ross are convinced it's not his only new gig. Richard is top of the guest list for Bear on the Masked Singer."
After being shown a clip of Bear's most recent performance, Richard revealed that he'd received lots of messages asking if he was behind the mask.

"Why do you think everyone thinks it's you?" Madeley asked, to which Richard said: "His swagger. The swagger is on point. I'm looking and going, 'That's how I would do it.' You can't put on a bear outfit and not know that the swagger's got to be on point, because it's not an everyday outfit. It's hot in there and stuff, so I've heard."
Susanna quickly called the star out on his comments, asking: "How do you know it's hot in there?" but Richard quickly explained that he was part of Shrek the Musical for two years, so can "relate" to wearing a restrictive outfit.
"That's how I'd do it if I was to do it," he concluded.
