THE Masked Singer has been thrown into chaos after Sunday Brunch host Simon Rimmer appeared to 'leak' that he is behind Dippy Egg.
The live on-air blunder happened during the Channel 4 show this morning as he and co-host Tim Lovejoy were interviewing Julia Sawalha.
Julia was unmasked as Bubble Tea during last night's episode of the hit ITV guessing game.
But Simon, 60, appeared to get carried away during the chat and let slip that he was the mystery man underneath Dippy Egg's mask.
The chef made the blunder after Julia admitted she had no idea what bubble tea was when she signed up to do the show.
Masked Singer fans convinced they’ve already guessed who is behind Phoenix
Simon then chipped in: "I always assumed that you picked your own costumes because I know with me as Dippy..."
The host then stopped mid-sentence and let out an audible "Oooh!" before covering his mouth.
Julia looked shocked, pointed at him, and then covered her own mouth in surprise.
"I think I gave it away then," Simon added to Tim, who appeared unruffled by the chaos.
It was unclear whether Simon was joking about making the mistake, or if it did it deliberately to keep viewers off the scent.
The Sun approached ITV who declined to comment.
Fans have been guessing for weeks about the identity of Dippy Egg, with guesses ranging from James Martin to Stephen Mulhern.
Others also believe it could be soap star turned Strictly champion Kelvin Fletcher, while Dan Walker has also been floated as a potential secret singer.
