Drake Bell Revealed as Ice King on ‘The Masked Singer’ Season 12

In the latest episode of ‘The Masked Singer’ Season 12, titled “Miley Cyrus Night,” the identity of the Ice King was finally revealed. Actor and musician Drake Bell, known for his role in the Nickelodeon show ‘Drake & Josh,’ was the celebrity behind the Ice King costume.

Bell shared his experience on the show, highlighting that he had previously participated in the Mexican version of ‘The Masked Singer’ and enjoyed it immensely. This prior experience made him eager to join the American version, which he described as a fun and challenging venture that took him out of his comfort zone.

During his time on the show, Bell performed Miley Cyrus hits alongside other contestants Royal Knight, Strawberry Shortcake, and Sherlock Hound. Despite his eventual elimination, Bell expressed gratitude for the experience, particularly noting the humbling nature of the panelists’ guesses. Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg was the only panelist to correctly guess his identity.

Bell also discussed the differences between his experiences on the Mexican and American versions of the show. He mentioned that the American version’s costume was more accommodating and that the choreographers were very supportive in helping him adapt to the complex dance moves required for the performances.

The participation in ‘The Masked Singer’ came at a significant time for Bell, who described the experience as freeing after a tumultuous year. He used the show as an opportunity to refocus on his passion for singing and to reconnect with his audience in a new and exciting way).
