British audiences have been graced with a new season of The Masked Singer.
Debuting on New Year’s Day, the top-secret singing competition welcomed a new batch of 13 incognito celebrities to compete in its fourth season.
During the first episode of the competition – which sees celebrities dressed in head-to-toe costumes to conceal their identity while they perform – Knitting was the first to display her talents.
Performing her rendition of Becky Hill’s song “Remember” for the panel of judges, Knitting narrowly escaped elimination.
Among the first-round competitors were Ghost, Jellyfish, Jacket Potato, Phoenix, and duo Cat and Mouse.
Ultimately, Ghost was this season’s first elimination, later revealing his identity as former footballer Chris Kamara. Cat and Mouse were unmasked as Martin and Shirlie Kemp in episode three.
Who is Knitting?
Ahead of Knitting’s performance, her clue video showed her standing in a crafty scene as she cut scraps of paper into geometrical shapes.

Molly Rainford has shared a message for Strictly Come Dancing viewers after she found herself in the bottom two again.
Saturday’s results show (3 December) saw Kym Marsh eliminated from the competition after a dance-off with Rainford.
It was the fourth time in the series that Rainford, 22, and her professional partner Carlos Gu, 28, have found themselves in the bottom two.
Many fans were frustrated on Rainford’s behalf, writing on Twitter that she does not deserve to have competed in the dance-off so many times.
Following Saturday’s elimination (3 December), Rainford posted a message to fans on Twitter on Sunday morning (4 December).
“I’m feeling so blessed to still be in this competition,” she wrote.
“Thank you to everyone who did vote and support us, I couldn’t be more grateful & thank you to the judges for keeping my @bbcstrictly dream alive for another week.”

The latest celebrity to be eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing has been revealed.
Saturday night’s results show (3 December) aired a day earlier than usual due to the BBC’s coverage of the World Cup.
Actor and singer Kym Marsh left the BBC competition after a dance-off with Molly Rainford.
Craif Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse opted to save Rainford after both couples performed their routines again, with Anton Du Beke saving Marsh.
Head judge Shirley Ballas saved Rainford, sending Marsh home – but all the judges said it was a “difficult” decision.
Speaking about the result, Marsh, who missed last week’s show due to Covid, said: “Honestly I’ve loved every single second that I’ve been here. I never thought I’d get to this stage, in a million years. I have to say, it’s all down to this man [Graziano Di Prima] here, he is just...

Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas has shut down critics for suggesting she was responsible for Fleur East landing in the dance-off.
During Saturday night’s show, singer East, who scored the first 40 of the series the week before, scored 35 points for her Rumba.
But despite appearing in the middle of the leaderboard, East found herself in the bottom two on Sunday (27 November) against Ellie Taylor.
All four judges voted to save East and her partner Vito Coppola over Taylor and Johannes Radebe, who’d been at the bottom of the leaderboard with just 25 marks during the live show.
However, on Twitter, one viewer suggested that it was head judge Ballas’s “overmarking” of Mellor and Hamza Yassin that had landed East in the bottom for the third time this series.
“This Is What Happens When You Overmark Will Mellor And Hamza Yassin And You Undermark Molly Rainford And Fleur East!

Asked about Dave Chappelle’s complaints that he is being silenced for his controversial jokes, Idle responded: “Where does he say it? On SNL… well you’re not being that much cancelled, are you?
“If you were in your room complaining. I’d have a lot more sympathy.”
Idle went on to address another vocal critic of “cancel culture”, Bill Maher.
“I didn’t like it when Bill Maher complains about the audience for not laughing, they’re telling you they don’t find it funny.

"Sometimes you have to lose it all... to find what out what really matters." Pink Flamingo Films released the official trailer for an indie dramedy titled The Loss Adjuster, from the UK directed by Vincent Woods. Luke Goss stars as a "Hapless Insurance Loss Adjuster" who feels his life is spiraling out of control but discovers that even when you reach rock bottom, that some clouds really do have a silver lining. When his wife leaves him, he befriends strangers around the city at Christmas time. "The idea was to create a story of hope, fortitude, craziness set against sadness, loss and frustration but create the ability to laugh at the same time. Picking yourself up through tiny moments and kind gestures from those real friends around you and unexpected goodness." Also starring Guy Siner, Martin Kemp, Lorna Fitzgerald, Cathy Tyson, Joan Collins, and Kym Marsh. This looks a bit rough around the edges,...
