It comes as the new Masked Singer panel came to light

GOOD Morning Britain anchor Kate Garraway swerved speculation from her ITV co-star after he gave her a grilling about suggestions she’s starring on The Masked Singer.

Adil Ray, 50, was back on the daytime series on Thursday, as he joined the mum-of-two to host the three-hour weekday programme.

And he wasn’t about to let speculation over her latest telly role slide.

Adil picked up on Kate’s enthusiasm over the next Masked Singer instalment – which begins this weekend.

The panel for the fun-filled family show was recently revealed – with Love Island presenter Maya Jama taking over from popstar Rita Ora.

Maya took over and will join Jonathan Ross, Da

A new character, Bush, has also been revealed.

On Thursday’s Good Morning Britain Kate, 57, was called out by Adil for her enthusiasm over the series.

She gushed: “It’s good to have these big shows back on isn’t it?

“Start of the New Year. Especially as it’s bad weather this weekend, we all need to snuggle up.”

Adil then interjected: “You’re getting very excited about The Masked Singer,” before pointing his finger at her in an accusing manner.

As they both cooed: “Oohhh,” he added: “Hello!” as Kate insisted: “I am just excited about the show!”

Entertainment reporter Scarlette Douglas then warned: “We have got eyes on you Kate.

Newsreader Sean also quipped: “You’ve got it in you,” as she became flustered trying to bat away hints she is involved.

In her defence, Kate said: “I can’t sing for toffee.”

SPEAKING OUT

It isn’t the first time stand-in anchor Adil has stirred the pot on GMB.

Recently, he sparked speculation of a “feud” with telly chef Jamie Oliver as he made a cutting comment.

After having watched an episode of Jamie: Fast and Simple, a clearly underwhelmed Adil took to X to share his views on one of Jamie’s more basic culinary creations.

“Jamie Oliver just cooked a curry using a supermarket curry paste and microwaved a popadom. I think I might try to do a cooking show,” the Lingo presenter sniped on social media.

But one X user came to the defence of the 49-year-old TV chef, saying: “The curry paste was his own.”
