The Masked Singer’s Osher Günsberg reveals the cheeky way he instantly recognised Rob Mills as the Wolf on last year’s show before his big reveal

Osher Günsberg has revealed the unlikely way he was able to determine the identities of some of the celebrities on last year’s season of The Masked Singer.

Speaking on Mumbrellacast on Thursday, the 46-year-old TV host said he knew Rob ‘Millsy’ Mills was under the Wolf mask even before the big reveal.

Osher explained that he recognised Millsy, 38, as soon as he touched him, without even having to turn around to look at his old friend.

‘Our brains do a really weird thing… I was standing in the tunnel on the side of the stage, and I felt someone come up behind me and grab my a**e,’ he recounted. 

‘I’m like, “Holy s**t! That’s Millsy!” and I turned around and it’s the Wolf, and this is the first time I’d ever seen the Wolf! 

‘And I’m like, “Ohhh! Oh, it’s you!” You know, I just knew. My brain went, “Oh, we know that.”‘

Osher said he also immediately recognised Deni Hines as the Unicorn, just from touching the 49-year-old’s hand.

‘Unicorn couldn’t see, and so Unicorn… stood maybe five degrees off-centre, and I had to just adjust her slightly,’ he explained. 

‘I grabbed her hand, and the moment our fingers touched, behind the glove, I went, “Oh, Deni! Hi!”‘

He said there were two other masked singers who he recognised by ‘smell’, but he didn’t divulge who they were.

But Osher said with social distancing restrictions in place for this year’s show, he’s been surprised by the identities of the singers ‘every single time’.

‘I can’t get that close to them this year! I can’t touch them, I can’t stand that close, so I am completely clueless,’ he added.  

Magic touch: Osher explained that he recognised Millsy, 38, as soon as he touched him, without even having to turn around to look at his old friend
