THE MASKED Singer fans have slammed Joel Dommett over his ‘creepy’ habit, fuming ‘it makes my skin crawl’.
While Joel‘s high-energy hosting has been a staple of the ITV1 show, not everyone is a fan of his exaggerated facial expressions and playful leering at the camera.

Some viewers have claimed his style makes them uncomfortable, while others argue it’s all part of the lighthearted fun that makes the show a hit.
Taking to a Digital Spy forum, one asked: “Is it only me who finds the way Joel Dommett leers at the camera really creepy? I know it’s all an act, but it makes my flesh crawl.”
Someone defended the star, replying: “I think you’re reading too much into it. It’s all part of the act, and he provides the necessary silliness that’s perfect for the show. I can’t think of another presenter who’d be better suited to it.”
The original user hit back: “I’m not reading anything into it! I’ve already said that I know it’s all part of the act. It still makes my skin crawl.”
Someone else chimed in with: “It’s his voice that annoys me. The forced jolliness. Ugh.”
Another agreed: “It’s his annoying voice. I like the masked singer. But that ‘ everyboodeee’ gets on my nerves.”
One more joked: “I don’t mind it. Joel can leer at me anytime he likes lol.”
Joel will be front and center as The Masked Singer 2025 finale airs on Saturday.
This year’s finalists – Dressed Crab, Wolf and Pufferfish – will battle it out for the coveted title, with their identities finally set to be revealed.
This series of The Masked Singer UK has already seen some surprising unmaskings.
Good Morning Britain‘s Kate Garraway was revealed as Spaghetti Bolognese while Bake Off legend Prue Leith was unmasked as Pegasus.
Singer Macy Gray shocked viewers when she was revealed as Toad in the Hole, and Carol Decker, lead singer of T’Pau, was behind the Tattoo mask.
Mel Giedroyc was Teeth while Andrea Corr of The Corrs turned out to be Snail and Sir Grayson Perry was Kingfisher.
In last week’s episode, EastEnders star Natalie Cassidy and musician Example were unmasked as Bush and Bear.
This year, TMS’ judging panel features Maya Jama, who took over from Rita Ora, alongside returning stars Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall, and Mo Gilligan.
The star-studded panel has been putting their detective skills to the test, trying to guess the celebrities behind the masks.
- The Masked Singer concludes Saturday on ITV1 at 7pm.
Who has left The Masked Singer 2025 so far?
Much to the delight of telly fans, The Masked Singer is back in 2025.
Twelve celebrities have been hidden behind intricate costumes, with their identities concealed.
Pufferfish – This year’s winner had flawless vocals throughout the competition. West End powerhouse Samantha Barks told the audience she’d loved every second of the series.
Dressed Crab – Former American football player turned jazz singer Gregory Porter was the man behind the crustacean. He duetted with Keala Settle, who previously competed as Air Fryer, in the final.
Wolf – Wet Wet Wet heartthrob Marti Pellow was unmasked as the rugged character. McFly’s Danny Jones, who won last year’s show, was on the panel in the final and paid his respects to the Scottish crooner.
Bush – she didn’t fool viewers and the judges were so close, but Bush was in fact EastEnders legend Natalie Cassidy. Davina McCall came closest, guessing Morgana Robinson, who does a mean impression of the Sonia actress
Bear – another success for new judge Maya Jama as she guessed correctly that the singing Bear was none other than singer, songwriter Example – real name Elliot Gleave
Snail – this singer certainly fooled the judges as the mask was lifted to reveal Andrea Corr. Jonathan Ross admitted to being a huge fan of The Corrs
Kingfisher – everyone was convinced this was Harry Hill, but the mask was lifted to reveal artist Sir Grayson Perry, who is known for his alter-ego Claire
Teeth – this character baffled judges and viewers with their changing voice. They were finally unmasked as former Bake Off host Mel Giedroyc. None of the panel managed to guess it was her
Tattoo – despite Davina McCall saying “you sound the same” after this character was unmasked, none of the judges guessed it was 80s singer Carol Decker, whose hit China In Your Hand was a No1 hit for five weeks
Toad In The Hole – a massive diva strop saw the character storm off the stage after the judges voted them off. They later returned to be unmasked as singer Macy Gray
Pegasus – the mythical horse was revealed to be Prue Leith, with judge Jonathan Ross correctly guessing her identity
Spag Bol – this character was first to be unmasked and was none other than Good Morning Britain host Kate Garraway.
Plus there was one extra unmasking this season, with Giant Joel – a caricature of host Joel Dommett – unveiled as double-double Olympic champion Sir Mo Farah.
